Functions
To use the Brake Control function, allocate the following functions to multi-function I/O
terminals, as required.
(1) To input a brake release signal from an external brake to the Inverter, allocate the Brake
confirmation (44: BOK) to any of Multi-function Input Selections (C001 to C007).
(2) Allocate the Brake release (19: BRK) for releasing the brake, to any Multi-function Output
Terminal Selections (C021 to C022) or Multi-function Relay Output Function Selection. Also, to
use a brake error output signal, allocate the Brake error (20: BER). When the Brake Control
function is used, it is recommended to use Sensorless Vector Control (A044 = 03) in which high
torque is generated at start. For details, refer to "Sensorless Vector Control" on page 5-144.

Parameters Required for Brake Control Function
In any of the following cases, the Inverter trips and outputs the brake error signal (BER). (Brake error: E36)

The output current is lower than the release current after the Brake Release Wait Time (b121) elapses.

When the brake confirmation signal (BOK) is used. The brake confirmation signal did not turn ON within
the Brake Wait Time for Confirmation (b124) during acceleration. Or the brake confirmation signal did
not turn OFF within the Brake Wait Time for Confirmation (b124) during deceleration. In case that Brake
Confirmation Signal (BOK) is turned OFF when Brake Release Signal (BRK) is output.
