Hello,
How can I effectively switch the brake on my Z-axis servo via csmIO and simCNC?
I am considering two options
1. Use a digital output (e.g., out 4) to switch a relay on the top-hat rail, which then releases the 24 volts to the brake. I would then set the output to Motor Enable in the Z-axis configuration.
Or
2. Use one of the relays of the csmio (if possible). But I'm not quite sure how. I would set the +24 volts to pin 25 and expect that if I connect +24 volts from pin 12 or 13 to the +Break on the servo, it can then be switched. Here, too, I would then set the corresponding output to Enable in the Z-axis configuration.
I would then have to connect a 1N4007 diode in parallel to the motor +BRK ---|<---- -BRK correct?
Would that work?
Best regards,
Bernhard
