Permissible maximum motor speed with existing
holding brake (p1082) - opening and closing times of the
holding brake (p1216, p1217) - consider the moment of
inertia of the holding brake (additionally to p341 or
p1498). The corresponding values are stored for the
specific types in the Configuration Manual for 1PH8

moment of inertia should be considered via p341, the
motor must be subsequently registered as p300 = 1

the DCCs are not loaded to the target device again during
