Speed reference drops below the setting level of Pn501.
Preset value for zero clamping
/P-CON (/ZCLAMP) input
Zero clamp is performed
Note: When the /ZCLAMP signal is allocated, the zero clamp operation will be used even for speed control
(Pn000.1 = 0).

Using the Holding Brake
The holding brake is used when a servodrive controls a vertical axis. In other words,
a servomotor with brake prevents the movable part from shifting due to the force of
gravity when system power goes OFF.
Note: The brake built into the servomotor SGMoH with brakes is a de–energization brake, which is used
only to hold and cannot be used for braking. Use the holding brake only to hold a stopped motor.
Brake torque is at least 120% of the rated motor torque.

Wiring Example
