7.1.4 DC Braking
Resistor brake is useful from max. speed down to a certain
frequency. Below this frequency DC braking is to be
applied as required. The most efficient way of doing this is
to use a combination of dynamic and DC braking. See
Illustration 7.1. The parameters can be found in
chapter 5 Programming.
