6-7-9  Interlock Function with Simple Position Control and Brake Control  
 
The interlock function with simple position control and brake control is useful in applications where 
brake control is required, such as an elevator or equipment that must be kept in the stop position. 
 
 
Set the Simple Position Control Selection (P012) to 02 (Simple position control enabled), and the Brake 
Control Function Selection (b120) to 01 (Enabled: DC Injection Braking enabled during stop) to auto- 
matically interlock the simple position control with brake control. 
The interlock function with simple position control and brake control is enabled only for the 1st Control 
Method (A044). 
The diagram below shows the operation sequence of the interlock function with simple position control 
and brake control.

(C001 to C007) is set to 44 (BOK: Brake confirmation).

During acceleration 
(1) 
The interlock function with simple position control and brake control starts when the 
RUN command (forward or reverse) turns ON. 
The inverter starts its output and accelerates to the frequency set in the Creep Speed Set- 
ting (P015). 
The inverter judges the direction of movement based on the current position and the target 
position, regardless of the RUN command. 
Or, if the current position is within the range set in the Positioning Completion Range Setting 
(P017), it stops there without releasing the brake. Whether or not the inverter switches to the 
DC injection braking mode depends on the Brake Control Function Selection (b120) setting. 
(2) 
After reaching the frequency set in the Creep Speed Setting (P015), the inverter waits 
until the Brake Release Wait Time (b121) elapses and outputs the brake release signal 
(C021, C022, C026 = 19: BRK). 
However, if the output current did not reach the Brake Release Current (b126) when output- 
ting the brake release signal, the inverter outputs the brake error signal (C021, C022, C026 
= 20: BER) without releasing the brake, and detects the E36. (Brake error).
