1 = Ramp: When Stop Mode A (155) is set to Ramp, the drive 
ramps the frequency to zero based on the deceleration time 
programmed into Decel Time 1 (142) or Decel Time 2 (143). The 
“normal” mode of machine operation can use Decel Time 1. If a 
faster deceleration than normal mode is required, Decel Time 2 can 
be activated with a faster rate selected. When Ramp is selected, the 
drive acknowledges the Stop command by decreasing or “ramping” 
the output voltage and frequency to zero in a programmed period 
(Decel Time), maintaining control of the motor until the drive output 
reaches zero. The output transistors are then shut off.
The load/motor should follow the decel ramp. Other factors such as 
bus regulation and current limit can alter the decel time and modify 
the ramp function.
Ramp mode can also include a “timed” hold brake. Once the drive 
has reached zero output hertz on a Ramp-to-Stop, and parameters 
DC Brake Time (159) and DC Brake Level (158) are not zero, the 
drive applies DC to the motor producing current at the DC Brake 
Level for the DC Brake Time. The drive output voltage will be zero 
when the hold time is finished.
