[Al Skierkiewicz]

It is my understanding that the brake function is engaged whenever the controller receives a zero speed command either from the throttle or from disable. One must ask the question as to what are you expecting the brake to do for you? The brake function is a dynamic electrical operation. It merely puts a short across the motor such that motion is turned into heat through the back driving of the motor. The faster the motor is spinning, the more current is turned into heat. If the motor is not turning, no current is developed and the brake does nothing.
