08 Special Parameters
You can set this parameter during operation.
Sets the level of the DC brake current output to the motor at start-up and stop. When setting the
DC brake current, the rated current is 100%. Therefore, when you set this parameter, increase
the level slowly to reach the desired holding torque. The set value cannot exceed the motor
rated current.
DC Brake Time at Start-up
This parameter determines the duration of the DC brake current output to the motor when the
drive starts up.
This parameter determines the duration of the DC Brake current output to the motor when
braking. To enable the DC brake at STOP, you must set Pr.02.02 (Stop Method) to 0 or 2 (ramp
to stop).
DC Brake Frequency at STOP
Determines the start frequency of the DC brake before the drive ramps to stop. When this setting
is less than Pr.01.05 (Start-up Frequency), the start frequency for the DC brake begins at the
minimum frequency.
Use the DC brake before running the motor when the load is movable at stop, such as with fans
and pumps. The motor is in free running status and in unknown rotation direction before the
drive starts up. Execute the DC brake before you start the motor.
Use the DC Brake at STOP when you need to brake the motor quickly or to control the
positioning. Such as cranes or cutting machines.
