Data Description |
Normal |
Once the controls have decelerated the rotor to a stop, the motor coils are internally connected. The permanent magnet forces in the rotor and the mechanical inertia of the gearbox holds the rotor in place. This is the industry standard holding brake method and is often termed short circuit or shunt. Normal is the default factory setting for all Pulseroller control modules. |

Once the controls have decelerated the rotor to a stop, the motor coils are internally disconnected and only the mechanical gearbox inertia holds the rotor in place. |
Continuous Torque |
When the controls have decelerated the rotor to a stop, the processor notes the Hall Effect sensor status. If the Hall Effect sensor status changes indicating a change in rotor position, the controls will inject current into the motor coils in the proper sequence to move the rotor back to its original stop position. The “Current” input box allows the user to enter a current limit for the Continuous Torque function. |
