Chapter 4 Explanation of Functions

4.2.19 DC braking (DB) setting

The DC braking function allows you to apply DC braking to the motor according to the load on the motor.

You can control DC braking in two ways: the external control through signal input to intelligent input terminals and the internal control to be performed automatically when the motor is started and stopped.

Note that the motor cannot be stopped by DC braking if the load on the motor produces a large moment of inertia.

(1) Carrier frequency for DC braking

Use the DC braking carrier frequency setting (A059) to specify the carrier frequency for DC braking. Note that setting the carrier frequency above 5 kHz automatically lowers the braking force.
