A176 [DC Brake Time] Related Parameter(s): P037
, A177
Sets the length of time that DC brake current is “injected” into the motor when P037
[Stop Mode] is set to either 4 “Ramp” or 6 “DC Brake”. Refer to parameter A177 [DC Brake Level].
Values Default: 0.0 Secs
Min/Max: 0.0/99.9 Secs (A setting of 99.9 = Continuous)
Display: 0.1 Secs
A177 [DC Brake Level] Related Parameter(s): P037, T051...T054, A176, A178
Defines the maximum DC brake current, in amps, applied to the motor.
Values Default: Drive Rated Amps × 0.05
Min/Max: 0.0/(Drive Rated Amps × 1.5)
Display: 0.1 Amps

ATTENTION: If a hazard of injury due to movement of equipment or material exists, an auxiliary mechanical braking device must be used.
ATTENTION: This feature should not be used with synchronous or permanent magnet motors. Motors may be demagnetized during braking.
A178 [DC Brk Time@Strt] Related Parameter(s): P037, A177
Sets the length of time that DC brake current is “injected” into the motor after a valid start command is received. Parameter A177 [DC Brake Level] controls the level of braking
current used.
Values Default: 0.0 Secs
