    If a system only has one or two axes, to configure the first or second axis to control the brake signals, set the "Auxiliary brake release DOUT channel" (DataID 10625) Parameter Database value for the appropriate axis to "8331." "8331" is the DOUT channel number for the dedicated DIO that controls the brake signal. Copyright © 2024, Brooks Automation...
