PowerFlex 40P drive

Answer
If one of the Opto output 1 or 2 is connected to the user-supplied electromechanical brake coil relay, the settings
will be:

Parameter A058 [Opto Out1 Sel] or Parameter A061 [Opto Out2 Sel] = 22 EM Brk
Cntrl
Parameter A064 [Opto Out Logic] = 0, 1 or 2 value set in accordance with your
adopted wiring
Parameter P037 [Stop Mode] = 8 "Ramp+EM B,CF or 9 Ramp+EM Brk to enable the
electromechanical brake option
Parameter A160 [EM Brk Off Delay] = value set as required
Parameter A161 [EM Brk On Delay] = value set as required
Parameter P034 [Minimum Freq] = value set as required (Must be a Value other than
Zero)

Before your tests, power cycle the drive to make the settings effective

Specifications of the outputs:

Programmable Output form C relay (R1-R2-R3):

Resistive Rating: 3.0A at 30V DC, 3.0A at 125V AC, 3.0A at 240V AC
Inductive Rating: 0.5A at 30V DC, 0.5A at 125V AC, 0.5A at 240V AC

Opto Outputs:
30V DC, 50mA Non-inductive

Note: It is necessary to add a recovery diode such as a 1N4004 in inverse parallel with the user-supplied
electromechanical brake coil relay (inductive load) or with the intermediary auxiliary relay (if this last one is
necessary), in order to prevent damage to the Opto output.
