External Brake
Control
The brake control function in the inverter controls external braking used in systems such as
elevators. The purpose of this function is to ensure the inverter is powering the motor before
releasing external brakes that would permit the load to move or coast. This function requires the
configuration and wiring of intelligent input and output terminals. See “
External Brake Control
Function” on page 4–39 for more information.
