Settings required for the brake control function
When using the brake control function, assign the following signal functions to intelligent input and
intelligent output terminals as needed.
(1) To input a signal indicating that the brake is released from the external brake to the inverter, assign the
braking confirmation signal (44: BOK) to one of the terminal [1] to [8] functions (C001 to C008).
(2) Assign the brake release signal (19: BRK), which is a brake-releasing command, to one of the
intelligent output terminals [11] to [15] (C021 to C025). To output a signal when braking is abnormal,
assign the brake error signal (20: BER) to an intelligent output terminal.
When using the brake control function, you are recommended to select the sensorless vector control
(A044 = 03) 0Hz-range sensorless vector control (A044 = 04) or V2 (A044=05)as the V/F characteristic
curve selection that ensures a high starting torque. (See Section 4.2.18.)

*1 Specify a frequency higher than the start frequency (b082).
*2 Note that setting a low current may not ensure sufficient torque at brake releasing.
The inverter will trip with the braking error signal (BER) (E36: brake error) output in one of the following
cases:
1) The inverter output current brake remains below the brake release current, even after the release wait
time (b121).
2) During acceleration, the braking confirmation signal (BOK) is not turned on within the braking wait time
(b124). During deceleration, the braking confirmation signal (BOK) is not turned off within the braking
wait time (b124). Otherwise, the braking confirmation signal is turned off although the brake release
signal is output.
