DC braking (DC-Break)
To activate DC braking, apply a stop signal (PNU A51 to A55). By
applying a pulsed DC voltage to the motor stator, a braking torque
is induced in the rotor and acts against the rotation of the motor.
With DC braking, a high level of stopping and positioning accuracy
can be achieved.
Caution!
DC braking results in additional heating of the motor. You
should therefore configure the braking torque (PNU A54)
as low and the braking duration (PNU A55) as short as
possible.

0.0 to 5 s When the frequency set with PNU A52 is reached, the motor
coasts for the time duration entered here before DC braking is
activated.
