5.10.1.1  Digital Input Function Assignment 
Setting the digital input configuration entry for the digital input, to the appropriate handler function number, 
configures the functionality of each input. The table below lists the functions that can be assigned. Only the 
NULL function can be assigned to more than one digital input. If an attempt is made to map a function twice a 
mapping error is indicated. 
For Edge Triggering: 
The handler function is not called repetitively, but rather the handler function is called when: - 
•  Initially setting up the digital input, when no previous function assigned to the input (i.e first time). 
•  A transition occurs in the digital input. 
•  Change the setting of the digital input invert. 
•  On Power-Up (if configuration has been saved to NVM). 
For Level Triggering: 
The handler function is called repetitively and also when: - 
•  Initially setting up the digital input, when no previous function assigned to the input (i.e first time). 
•  The setting of the digital input invert is changed. 
•  On Power-Up (if configuration has been saved to NVM). 
NOTE :- If digital inputs are already configured, and re-configure the input for a different purpose, do not switch 
any of the digital inputs, and do not invert any of the digital inputs. The handler function is not called

Table 5.18 List of Digital Input Handler Functions 
5.10.1.1.1  Brake Release Switch 
This handler function releases the brake. The default operation is that setting the digital input (current flowing), will 
release the brake, and clearing the input will enable the brake. By configuring this digital input, the user takes 
control of the motor brake. There are two additional parameters that allow configuration of the amount of control 
the user has over the brake. 
brake_control (1603) configures the brake control in normal operation 
brake_fault_control (1505) configures the brake control in a fault condition 
The default operation is that input not configured by user. Brake is under Drive control so that on enable the brake 
is released immediately. On disable or in a fault condition, the brake is applied immediately. (e.g. default is 
brake_control = 1 and brake_fault_control = 1) 
For full user control of the brake in all conditions including fault conditions and during a Quick Stop set both 
brake_control and brake_fault_control to 0 in addition to configuring the digital input function .
