*The EZ-Qube Module module uses its motor power circuits to decelerate the motor per its Accel/Decel settings. Once the motor has finished its controlled deceleration, then it applies one of these 3 Electronic Holding Brake options in which to provide various levels of holding brake force or resistance.
!The Electronic Holding Brake function IS NOT used to slow down the motor
Electronic Holding Brake Definitions
| Method |
Description |
| Normal |
Standard Dynamic Shunt Coil – Each of the 3 Motor power transistor circuits in the EZ-Qube Module are internally shunted to ground after the module has performed its configured deceleration function. The mechanical inertia of the gearbox and the magnetic resistance of the motor rotor provides the holding force. This is the MDR industry standard holding braking method |
| Free |
Free Spin – Each of the 3 Motor power transistor circuits in the EZ-Qube Module are internally opened after the module has performed is configured deceleration function. The mechanical inertia of the gearbox provides the only holding force |
| Servo Brake |
Active Servo – When the EZ-Qube Module module has performed is configured deceleration function, it remembers the position of the motor rotor and provides active power to the motor coils to maintain that roller position |
Continuous Torque
For EZ-QUBE-W and EZ-QUBE-W-Ai only |
Active Servo – When the EZ-Qube Module module has performed is configured deceleration function, it provides active power to the motor coils to maintain that roller position. Position is not retained and motor will not reposition to stopping position |
