3. Gravity-axis Electrical Brake Function at Power Failure
This function is to keep the position of the vertical axis electrically until the mechanical brake of the vertical axis
works when the power failure occurs and to prevent the vertical axis from dropping.
Set the parameters of Brake Control Function (Servo basic function), and set the emergency stop signal (*ESP)
of CNC to “0” when Power failure detection signal (*PFL) changes from “1” to “0”. And put on the brake of the
vertical axis simultaneously.

delay time Td
*PFL: Power failure detection signal.
Output from the connector CX16 on Power Failure Backup Module.
*ESP: Emergency stop signal of CNC (See 2-1)
The signal operated by Power failure detection signal (*PFL) is CNC emergency stop
signal, not PSM emergency stop signal.
Parameter setting
(1) BRKC: “1” (The brake control function is used)
(2) Brake control timer: Set a time (Td) until the brake starts operating (about 100msec)

Refer to PARAMETER MANUAL (B-65150/03) in detail.
Note) When brake control is applied for a two- or three-axis amplifier, set the brake control
parameters for all the axes to be controlled. If an alarm is generated for any of axes
connected to the two- or three-axis amplifier, brake control does not operate effectively.
