When brake control is activated, DC braking (Ad.12) at inverter start and dwell operation
(Ad.20–23) do not operate.
• Brake release sequence: During motor stop state, if an operation command is
entered, the inverter accelerates up to brake release frequency (Ad.44– 45) in forward
or in reverse direction. After reaching brake release frequency, if motor current reaches
brake release current (BR Rls Curr), the output relay or multi function output terminal
for brake control sends a release signal. Once the signal has been sent, acceleration
will begin after maintaining frequency for brake release delay time (BR Rls Dly).
• Brake engage sequence: If a stop command is sent during operation, the motor
decelerates. Once the output frequency reaches brake engage frequency (BR Eng Fr),
the motor stops deceleration and sends out a brake engage signal to a preset output
terminal. Frequency is maintained for the brake engage delay time (BR Eng Dly) and
will become 0 afterwards. If DC braking time (Ad.15) and DC braking resistance (Ad.16)
are set, inverter output is blocked after DC braking. For DC braking, refer to 4.17.2 Stop
After DC Braking on page 139.
