Group 8: Special Parameters 
08 - 00 
DC Braking Current Level  Unit: 1
  Settings  00 to 100%  Factory Setting: 00
This parameter sets the level of DC Braking Current output to the motor during start-up and stopping. When 
setting DC Braking Current, the Rated Current (Pr.00-01) is regarded as 100%. It is recommended to start 
with a low DC Braking Current Level and then increase until proper holding torque has been attained. 
 
08 - 01 
DC Braking Time during Start-up  Unit: 0.1
  Settings  0.0 to 60.0 sec  Factory Setting: 0.0
This parameter determines the duration of the DC Braking current after a RUN command. When the time 
has elapsed, the AC motor drive will start accelerating from the Minimum Frequency (Pr.01-05). 
 
08 - 02 
DC Braking Time during Stopping  Unit: 0.1
  Settings  0.0 to 60.0 sec  Factory Setting: 0.0
This parameter determines the duration of the DC Braking current during stopping. If stopping with DC 
Braking is desired, Pr.02-02 Stop Method must be set to 00 or 02 for RAMP stop. 
 
08 - 03 
Start-Point for DC Braking  Unit: 0.01
  Settings  0.00 to 400.00Hz  Factory Setting: 0.00
This parameter determines the frequency when DC Braking will begin during deceleration.
