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.
Internal DC braking is disabled.
Internal DC braking is enabled.
Internal DC braking is enabled. (The braking
operates only with the set braking frequency.)
DC braking
frequency setting
With internal DC braking enabled, DC braking is
started when the output frequency reaches the
set braking frequency.
The DC braking wait time specifies the delay in
starting DC braking after the set braking time
has elapsed or the DB terminal has been turned
on.
DC braking force
during deceleration/
DC braking force for
starting
CT mode :
0. to 100. (%)<0. to 80.(%)>
VT mode :
0. to 70. (%)<0. to 50.(%)>
"0" specifies the smallest force (zero current);
"100" specifies the largest force (rated current).
DC braking time for
deceleration
This setting is valid for the external DC braking
in edge mode or for the internal DC braking.
DC braking/edge or
level detection for
[DB] input
Edge mode (See examples 1-a to 6-a.)
Level mode (See examples 1-b to 6-b.)
DC braking time for
starting
This setting is valid for the internal DC braking.
DC braking is started when the motor-start
command is input.
DC braking carrier
frequency setting
CT mode :
0.5 to 15.0 (kHz)<0.5 to 10.0(kHz)>
VT mode :
0.5 to 12.0 (kHz)<0.5 to 8.0(kHz)>
(NOTE) <>:applied for 75 to 150kW
(1) Carrier frequency for DC braking
Use the DC braking carrier frequency setting (A059) to specify the carrier frequency for DC braking. But the raking
power reduced is reduced when 5Hz (up to 55kW) or 3Hz (75-150kW) are set as shown below. For detailed
decreasing ratio, "DC braking limiter" is to be referred.
