8.1.4  Servomotor with Brakes
Holding brake operation of the servomotor with brake can be controlled with the brake interlock output (/BK) 
signal of the SERVOPACK.
When checking the brake operation, take advance measures to prevent vibration due to gravity acting on the 
machine or external forces. Check the servomotor operation and holding brake operation with the servomotor 
separated from the machine. If both operations are correct, connect the servomotor and perform trial operation.
For wiring on a servomotor with brakes and parameter settings, refer to 8.3.4 Setting for Holding Brakes.
8.1.5  Position Control by Host Controller 
As described above, be sure to separate the servomotor and machine before performing trial operation of the ser-
vomotor without a load. Refer to the following table, and check the servomotor operation and specifications in 
advance.
7 Adjust the servo gain and improve the servomotor 
response characteristics, if necessary. 
Refer to 9.1 Autotuning.
The servomotor will not be broken in completely dur-
ing the trial operation.  Therefore, let the system run 
for a sufficient amount of additional time to ensure that 
it is properly broken in.
8 Write the parameters set for maintenance in 12.4 
Parameter Recording Table.
Then the trial operation with the servomotor con-
nected to the machine is completed.

Motor Speed Check motor speed as follows:
• Use the motor speed monitor 
(Un000) on the panel operator.
• Run the servomotor at low speed.  
Input a reference speed of 60 min

for example to check to see if the 
servomotor makes one revolution 
per second.
Check the parameter setting at 
Pn300 to see if reference speed 
gain is correct.

No. of motor rotation Input a reference equivalent to one 
motor rotation and visually check to 
see if the shaft makes one revolution.
Check the parameter setting at 
Pn201 to see if the number of PG 
dividing pulses is correct.

Whether the servomo-
tor stops rotating 
when P-OT and N-OT 
signals are input
Check to see if the servomotor stops 
when P-OT and N-OT signals are 
input during continuous servomotor 
operation.
Review P-OT and N-OT wiring if 
the servomotor does not stop.
