DC Injection Braking Function
This section describes the DC injection braking function.
8-5-1
DC Injection Braking (DB)
Use this function to have the motor apply DC injection braking according to the load.
For an induction motor, this function allows braking with no feedback of regenerated energy to the in-
verter. However, for a PM motor, consider to take measures against overvoltage because even the DC
injection braking function allows regenerated energy to be fed back to the inverter.
DC injection braking can be controlled with one of the following three methods:
• Setting “13: DB (External DC injection braking)” to Input Terminal [DI1] to [DI7] Function Selection
(3005Hex-02Hex to 3005Hex-06Hex, 3005Hex-63Hex, 3005Hex-64Hex), and turning ON/OFF the
terminal to which the external DC injection braking function is allocated.
• Setting DC Injection Braking Selection (301FHex-0FHex) and then setting appropriate function pa-
rameters.
• Setting DC Injection Braking Selection (301FHex-0FHex) and controlling the motor only by compari-
son via the frequency set in the DC Injection Braking Frequency parameter.
Note, however that the use of DC injection braking may not cause the motor to stop due to the mo-
ment of inertia of the motor load.
DC injection braking is disabled when the torque control, position control and servo lock is enabled.
