 Using the DC Injection Brake
Set constant b2-03 to apply the DC injection braking current to the motor while it is coasting to a stop, to stop
the motor and then restart it.
Set b2-03 to 0 to disable the DC injection brake at start.
Set the DC injection brake current using b2-02. DC injection braking is used at startup for flux vector control
with the current set in E2-03 (Motor no-load current).

Inputting the DC Injection Brake Command from Control Circuit Terminals
If you set a multi-function contact input terminal (H1-) to 60 (DC injection brake command), you can
apply the DC injection brake to the motor by turning ON the terminal for which the DC injection brake com-
mand has been set when the Inverter is being stopped. DC injection braking is used at startup for flux vector
control.
The time chart for the DC injection brake is shown below.
