Functional Description

How and when the brake is controlled is defined by using BrakeMode.

BrakeMode	Behavior
Connect brake at stillstand / 0	In the event of device reactions AD, BD1 and BD2, the brake is engaged when the motor has come to a standstill.
Connect brake when coasting / 1	In the event of device reaction AD, the brake is engaged immediately even if the motor is still running. In the event of device reactions BD1 and BD2, the brake is engaged when the motor has come to a standstill (default behavior).
Connect brake when stopping / 2	In the event of device reactions AD and BD1, the brake engages immediately even if the motor is still running. In the event of device reaction BD2, the brake is engaged when the motor has come to a standstill.
Control brake by user program / 3	The user program has control over the brake. The state of the brake can be modified cyclically with the function FC_SercosSetUserRealTimeControlBits. The function FC_BrakeReleaseSet has no effect.

NOTE: The integrated holding brake is not designed either to decelerate the motor and its mechanics nor as a safety-related or security device. Using the brake for any other reason than for which it is designed, that is, holding a load at standstill, will result in significant wear of the brake to the point of becoming ineffective.

Therefore you must use an external braking system with the brake modes of:

Connect brake when coasting / 1,
Connect brake when stopping / 2, and possibly with
Control brake by user program / 3 if the motor is not already at standstill.

WARNING
	DAMAGE OF THE HOLDING BRAKE Make sure to comply with the safety-related instructions in the motor manual regarding the security constraints of the holding brake. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
