The above operation chart applies to a case where 44: BOK (Brake confirmation signal) is
allocated to one of the Multi-function Input S1 to S8 Selection (C001 to C008). If BOK is not
selected, the Acceleration Wait Time on Brake Control (b122) starts when the brake release
signal turns ON and the Stop Wait Time on Brake Control (b123) starts when the brake release
signal turns OFF.
• To use the brake control function, allocate the following functions to multi-function I/O terminals,
as required.
• When using the brake control function, it is recommended to use sensorless vector control (A044
= 03), 0-Hz sensorless vector control (A044 = 04), or Sensor vector control (A044 = 05), which
generates a high torque during startup.
(1) To input a brake release signal from an external brake to the inverter, allocate one of the
Multi-function Input S1 to S8 Selection (C001 to C008) to 44: BOK (Brake confirmation
signal).
(2) To release a brake, allocate one of the multi-function output terminals P1 to P5 (C021 to
C025) to 19: BRK (Brake release signal). Also, to use a brake error output signal, allocate
one of them to 20: BER (Brake error).
