Free-run Stop
When the terminal [FRS] is turned ON, the inverter turns OFF the output and the motor enters
the free-run state (coasting). If terminal [FRS] is turned OFF, the output resumes sending power
to the motor if the Run command is still active. The free-run stop feature works with other
parameters to provide flexibility in stopping and starting motor rotation.
In the figure below, parameter B088 selects whether the inverter resumes operation from 0 Hz
(left graph) or the current motor rotation speed (right graph) when the [FRS] terminal turns
OFF. The application determines the best setting.
Parameter B003 specifies a delay time before resuming operation from a free-run stop. To
disable this feature, use a zero delay time.

FRS
Free-run Stop
ON
Causes output to turn OFF, allowing
motor to free run (coast) to stop
OFF
Output operates normally, so controlled
deceleration stops motor
Valid for
inputs:
C001, C002, C003, C004,
C005, C006, C007, C008
Required
settings:
B003, B088, C011 to C018
Notes:
•
When you want the [FRS] terminal to be
active low (normally closed logic), change
the setting (C011 to C018) that corresponds
to the input (C001 to C008) that is assigned
the [FRS] function.
