The holding brake will be latched when the power supply is cut off and released when voltage is applied to the coil. This is accomplished by enabling/disabling the smart electronic load switches that supply power to the coil.
This reference design also includes diagnostic features for detecting various faults, ensuring safe operation. TIDA-01600 uses the C2000 Launchpad to generate the brake control signals and to perform the diagnostics functionality.
Features
- Implementing safe brake control meeting the requirements as specified in the EN 61800-5-2.
- 24V rated holding brakes with current of up to 2A can be controlled via isolated control signals.
- Dual switch control enhancing safe operation.
- Self-diagnostics features covering open load detection and over current protection.
- High side switch failure detection.
- Rapid application of the holding brake by fast reduction of the holding brake current.
- Optional reduction of voltage at holding brake output to reduce power consumption.
