Yep. So I want to delay the brake on the z axis until the drive is enabled and the motor is fully energized so it doesn't drop a small amount upon enabling/disabling the machine. As of now when I enable there is a slight clunk and I want to make sure I don't wear out the brake prematurely.

Is the brake released by the same signal that enables the drive?
Does the drive have a "ready" output? That would probably work better than a fixed time delay.

It is hooked up now to the machine enable signal. I will have to see of there is a drive ready signal to tie into. This is an Acramatic 2100 retrofit and I was able to get the 7i71 and 7i70 cards to interface with the IDC50 connectors from the machine. I seem to remember a "machine ready" that is triggered on an input. If that will work, how do I hook the input pin to the output pin in hal? (Sorry for the noob question)

If they are both present in hal, then just connect them to the same net.
either
net netname pin1 pin2
or
net netname pin2
...
net netname pin1
(ie, in any order and anywhere in any HAL file)

I will give that a shot to see how it helps.
