Functions
6.9 Technological functions
1. Initially, the motor speed is reduced along the down ramp of the ramp-function generator
2. Once the motor speed reaches this threshold, the inverter interrupts the braking operation
3. The inverter then starts the actual DC braking by allowing a DC current to flow through

DC braking using an external command
This allows DC braking to be activated using a signal from an external source (BICO). The
function remains active as long as the external signal is active. The use of this function is
explained in the sequence below.
1. The function is enabled and selected using BICO parameter P1230 (see figure below).
2. The Inverter pulses are inhibited for the duration of the de-magnetizing time P0347.

the motor. The magnitude and duration of the DC current can be set.
CAUTION
For DC braking, the kinetic energy of the motor and motor load is partially converted into
thermal energy. The motor can overheat if braking lasts too long or the drive must be
braked too frequently.
Parameters to enable and set DC braking
Description
User access level
3: Expert
Enabling DC braking using an external command
Enables DC braking via a signal that was used by an external source (BICO). The
function remains active as long as the external signal is active.
Current, DC braking (entered as a %)
Defines the strength of the direct current in [%] with respect to the rated motor current
(P0305)
Enable and duration of the DC braking for OFF1 or OFF3 command (entered in s)
Defines the duration of the DC braking in seconds after an OFF1 or OFF3 command.
P1233 = 0 deactivates DC braking for an OFF1 and OFF3 command.
Starting frequency of DC braking (entered in Hz)
Sets the speed threshold for the start of DC braking.
Demagnetizing time of the motor
The inverter calculates this value from the motor data during commissioning. Only
commissioning engineers, who have the appropriate experience, may change the
parameter values. The inverter can trip due to an overcurrent during DC braking if the
demagnetizing time is too short.
