Sets the delay time, in which it takes for the motor brake to be released (Relay 2 or Function) before the drive output frequency ramps up.

This value should bet set so there is enough time for the motor brake to be released (this time can be found from the manufacture's datasheet).

Sets the delay time, for the motor brake to apply (Relay 2 to open).

Sets the speed at which the drive will open Relay 2 and apply the motor brake.

If P5-03 has a value > 0 then DC Injection at Stop (P9-13) is not active in Geared Induction open loop control (P4-01 = 0 or 1).

Motor Brake Release Monitoring Disabled

1

Motor Brake Release Monitoring Enabled and monitored via Daux 1 Input and Daux 2 Input on the Universal Encoder Module with 2 N/C contacts.

2

Motor Brake Release Monitoring Enabled and monitored via Digital Inputs DI5 and DI6 providing that P1-02 is set to Macro 8 and Digital input DI7 if P1-02 is set to 9.

If the monitoring terminal has not changed state in this time (since the brake has been released by relay 2 of the drive) then the drive will trip "bF-Err" or "bF-Loc" (if number of attempts as set in P5-06 has been met)

The drive will automatically try to clear the "bF-Err" at 1.5 second intervals for the number of times set, after each attempt the travel sequence will restart, once the number of brake release monitoring errors has reached the number set in this parameter a permanent trip "bF-Loc" will be displayed.

Total number of "bF-Err" trips since the drive was installed.

The counter can be reset when default the drive parameters.

P5-08 - Brake Release Speed

Set this to the speed at which you want the Motor Brake to be released. Once P5-08 & P5-09 values have been met the brake will be released.

This parameter is only active if P5-01 is set to 0 & both P5-08 & P5-09 have a value > 0.

P5-09 - Brake Release Torque

Set this to the torque value at which you want the Motor Brake to be released. Once P5-08 & P5-09 values have been met the brake will be released.

This parameter is only active if P5-01 is set to 0 & both P5-08 & P5-09 have a value > 0.
