22 MX2 Quick Start Guide
DC braking at startup is also possible by independent setup of parameters A057 and A058. This is useful in aplications were load 
should be totally stopped before starting the movement. 
Be careful to avoid specifying to long braking time or to hihg carrier frequency that can cause motor overheating. If you use DC 
braking is recommended to use motors with a built-in thermistor and wire it to inverter’s thermistor input. 
3.9 V/F Curve
The inverter generates the motor output according to the V/f algorithm selected on parameter A044. The factory default is Con-
stant torque (“00”). Review the following description to help you choose the best torque control algorithm for your application. 
Review following description to help you choose the best torque control algo-
rithm for your application:. 
• Constant and Variable (Reduced) Torque - The graph at right shows the 
constant torque characteristic from 0 Hz to the base frequency A003. The 
voltage remains constant for output frequencies higher than the base fre-
quency. 
• Variable torqu e - The graph at right shows the variable (reduced) torque 
curve, which has a constant torque characteristic from 0 Hz to 10% of the 
base frequency. This helps to achieve higher torque at low speed with 
reduced torque curve at higher speeds.
• Sensorless Vector Control - You can achieve high torque performance 
(200% torque at 0.5 Hz of output frequency) without motor speed feedback  
but a god tuning of the motor is necessary to do it. Please remember to per-
form auto-tuning for this control method. (A044=”3”)
• Free V/F Control - The free V/F setting function allows you to set an arbi-
trary V/F characteristics by specifying the voltages and frequencies 
(b100~b113) for seven points on the V/F characteristic curve (A044=”2”)
