DC Injection Braking Function
This section describes the DC injection braking function.
7-5-1
DC Injection Braking (DB)
Use this function to have the motor apply DC injection braking according to the load.
For an induction motor, this function allows braking with no feedback of regenerated energy to the in-
verter.
However, for a PM motor, consider to take measures against overvoltage because even the DC injec-
tion braking function allows regenerated energy to be fed back to the inverter.
DC injection braking can be controlled with one of the following three methods:
• Setting “13: DB (External DC injection braking)” to Input Terminal [DI1] to [DI7] Function Selection
(E01 to E05, E98, E99) and turning ON/OFF the terminal to which the external DC injection braking
function is allocated.
• Setting DC Injection Braking Selection (E114) and controlling the motor by parameter settings.
• Setting DC Injection Braking Selection (E114) and controlling the motor only by comparison via the
frequency set in the parameter.
Note, however that the use of DC injection braking may not cause the motor to stop due to the mo-
ment of inertia of the motor load.
DC injection braking is disabled when the torque control, position control and servo lock is enabled.
