Brother TC-225 / TC-229 adventure!

well, when the normal control starts up... the brake disengages a second or so after the power engages. it seems not to be relying on feedback from the amp (because it does it even with the amps control cable disconnected.

the only feedback from the amp besides encoder we get is an alarm which I think only goes high for an error.

so I'm not sure if there is a "smart" way to release the brake here.

Connecting the brake to the alarm sounds like a good idea to me.
Does the alarm go off after amp-enable, or is it always off?

Have you worked out how to use the timedelay HAL function?

I'm at work so ill figure that out tonight.

the alarm - hmmmmm. that's one scenario didn't look at. I bet it does. that would make it pretty sensible, as the drives are powered on their control side when the machine starts - before the main power is engages, so it stands to reason they would alarm until they have full power.

thanks

So first roadblock.
Error could not insert module.... invalid parameters.

Down at the bottom... config num encoders 6 but only 2 available.


What did I do wrong?

Nevermind. I have the 7i76 firmware on it Dr. My router. Bahhhhhh

Have you solved this now?
