We use an additional clamping device on a vertical axis driven by a servo motor for safety. Is it possible to test this device using a brake test on an “external brake” (f.e. similar to functional block “MC_BR_BrakeControl”) ?

Hello, i know this use Case with the external Brake for Safety reasons, but i did not yet implemented a Test of this Brake. And even not normal Brake tests, so i am not an Expert in this. But i try to give some hints. I can tell that the MappMotion successor of MC_BR_BrakeControl could be MC_BR_Br…

Thanks! I really had no choice but to write the app myself: Open the external Brake Turn on the controller and read the current torque (load weight) Calculate the testing torque (in my case, load weight× 1.3) Perform a motor brake test (MC_BR_BrakeTest_AcpAx_0) Close the external Brake If an erro…

Thanks Michael, for your helpful tip Greetings Manfred
