Viewing and changing parameters
During the drive setup the motor direction and motor brake setup were mentioned. These settings can be changed
by editing the drive parameter table directly. Click on the Parameters icon on the toolbox on the left hand side of
Workbench.
The screen that appears is divided into a parameter search tree on the left hand side and a parameter list for each subheading on
the right hand side.

Select Axis/Channel/Bank-> Brake Channel. Three motor brake delay channels are listed. Each channel represents a timer.
Channel 0 is the time allowed to engage the brake before disabling the drive.
Channel 1 is the time allowed to disengage the brake before starting motion.
Channel 2 sets the delay between enabling the drive and it establishing servo control.
Now select Family>Motor>MotorBrakeOutput – this sets which digital output will be used to control the motor brake (this output
should drive a relay which in turn feeds the motor brake – also remember to use an isolated 24V supply for the feed to the motor
brake as indicated in the User Manual for the drive). It may also be necessary to invert the OUTPUTACTIVELEVEL of the output
being used to control the brake (depending on how the interfacing relay is wired).
Now select Family>Motor>MotorBrakeMode – set this to 1 to enable motor brake control
