Sequence ➁ 
1.  Enabled and selected using BICO parameter P1230 (refer to Fig. 3-52) 
2.  The inverter pulses are inhibited for the duration of the de-magnetizing time 
P0347. 
3.  The requested braking current P1232 is impressed for the time selected and 
the motor is braked. This state is displayed using signal r0053 bit 00. 
4.  After DC braking has been cancelled, the drive accelerates back to the setpoint 
frequency until the motor speed matches the drive inverter output frequency. If 
there is no match, then there is danger that a fault will be output as a result of 
overcurrent - F0001. This can be avoided by activating the flying restart 
function.

NOTE 
1.  The "DC braking" function is only practical for induction motors ! 
2.  DC braking is not suitable to hold suspended loads ! 
3.  For DC current braking, the motor kinetic energy is converted into thermal 
energy in the motor. If braking lasts too long, then the drive can overheat ! 
4.  While DC braking, there is no other way of influencing the drive speed using an 
external control. When parameterizing and setting the drive system, then as far 
as possible, it should be tested using real loads ! 
5.  DC braking is independent of the ON command. This means that it can even 
be selected in the "Ready" state.
