Using the DC Injection Brake
Set constant b2-03 to apply DC injection to the motor, before it starts to accelerate. Applying DC injection at
start will stop the motor before starting if it was coasting through inertia or wind mill effect.
Set b2-03 to 0 to disable the DC injection brake at start.
Set constant b2-04 to apply a DC injection brake to the motor at stopping. It prevents the motor from coasting
when it would not be stopped completely using the normal deceleration. This can occur if the inertia is very
high. The DC injection brake can be disabled by setting b2-04 to 0.
Set the DC injection brake current using b2-02.

Motor Pre-heat Function
The motor pre-heat function can be used to prevent e.g. moisture inside the motor due to condensation. The
pre-heat current can be set in b2-09. Using a digital input which is set for motor pre-heat (H1-
=60) the
function can be enabled or disabled.

b2-01
DC injection braking starting fre-
quency
Used to set the frequency at which DC injection braking
starts in units of Hz when b1-03 is set to 0 (deceleration to
stop).
When b2-01 is less than E1-09, E1-09 becomes the DC
injection braking starting frequency.

the stop command is input. When the set value is 0.00, DC
injection braking at stop is not performed.
