X20SM1436-1 Motor Brake control in Standstill

Hi,
I would like to implement a brake function using stepper controller X20SM1436-1.
The challenge here is that the brake should be controlled while the drive stays in PLCopen state “standstill”.
Is it possible to configure the drive or controller that way?
Did I miss a parameter that allows this functionality?

Thanks in advance!
Marius

Hello Marius,

for stepper axes there is no configuration setting that would allow the brake to be operated in any other axis state than Disabled and Errorstop.

The stepper software only sets the variable you provided in the configuration to operate the brake.
You can add some programm between the vaiable and the PLC output to switch the brake in axis state Standstill.
