6.5 Setting Stop Functions
This section describes the procedure used to stop the SERVOPACK stably.
6.5.1 Using the Dynamic Brake
To stop the servomotor by applying the dynamic brake (DB)
1
when the SERVOPACK is
Servo OFF, set the desired mode in the following parameter. The servomotor will stop due to
machine friction if the dynamic brake is not applied.
The SERVOPACK turns OFF under the following conditions:
• When the SV_OFF command is transmitted.
• A servo alarm occurs.
• Power is turned OFF.
Specify the Stop Mode during Servo OFF using the following parameter.
* 1. If the servomotor is stopped or moving at extremely low speed, the
dynamic brake will not have sufficient braking power.
* 2. A dynamic brake is used when the control power are turned OFF.

Dynamic brake (DB)
The dynamic brake is a common way of suddenly stopping a
servomotor. Built into the SERVOPACK, the dynamic brake
suddenly stops a servomotor by electrically shorting its electri-
cal circuit.
