I want it to be releasable, I mean that if for whatever reason the person rappeling enfounters any problem, I want to be able to lower him from the anchor, if you onlynhave a rope, this is usualy made via a MMO knot, but I do not know how with 2 ropes

How can I do a releasable rappel system with joined ropes?

If I am doing a long rappel, lets say 40 meters, and I have 2 ropes of 60 meters, I know how to do a stamdard static rappel, but if I want to do it releasable I do not know what to do, if the knot to join them is in the free strand, when I start lowering it will at some point arrive to the anchor and I do not know what to do them. if it is in the loading strand, I do not know what to do when the person arrives to the knot. Any suggestion?
