Description 
U/V/W 
Servo motor 
power output 
Connect the servo amplifier power output (U, V, and W) to the servo motor power input (U, V, 
and W) directly. Do not let a magnetic contactor, etc. intervene. Otherwise, it may cause a 
malfunction.

Brake unit 
This terminal is used for a power regeneration converter, power regeneration common 
converter and brake unit. 
Refer to section 11.3 to 11.5 for details. 
 
Protective earth (PE) 
Connect it to the grounding terminal of the servo motor and to the protective earth (PE) of the 
cabinet for grounding. 
 
3.3.2 Power-on sequence 
 
POINT 
 
The voltage of analog monitor output, output signal, etc. may be unstable at 
power-on. 
 
 
(1) Power-on procedure 
1)  Always use a magnetic contactor for the main circuit power supply wiring (3-phase: L1, L2, and 
L3, 1-phase: L1 and L3) as shown in above section 3.1. Configure up an external sequence to 
switch off the magnetic contactor as soon as an alarm occurs. 
 
2)  Switch on the control circuit power supply (L11 and L21) simultaneously with the main circuit 
power supply or before switching on the main circuit power supply. If the main circuit power 
supply is not on, the display shows the corresponding warning. However, by switching on the 
main circuit power supply, the warning disappears and the servo amplifier will operate properly. 
 
3)  The servo amplifier receives the SON (Servo-on) 2.5 s to 3.5 s after the main circuit power supply 
is switched on. Therefore, when SON (Servo-on) is switched on simultaneously with the main 
circuit power supply, the base circuit will switch on in about 2.5 s to 3.5 s, and the RD (Ready) will 
switch on in further about 5 ms, making the servo amplifier ready to operate. (Refer to (2) of this 
section.) 
 
4)  When RES (Reset) is switched on, the base circuit is shut off and the servo motor shaft coasts.
