(5) Brake Signal (/BK) Output Timing during Servomotor Movement
If an alarm occurs while the servomotor is moving, the servomotor will come to a stop and the brake signal
(/BK) will be turned OFF. The timing of brake signal (/BK) output can be adjusted by setting the brake refer-
ence output speed level (Pn583) and the waiting time for brake signal when motor running (Pn508).
Note: If the servomotor is set so that it comes to a zero-speed stop for an alarm, follow the information in (4) Brake ON
Timing after the Servomotor Stops after the servomotor comes to a stop for a zero position reference.

/BK Signal Output Conditions
When Servomotor Moving
The /BK signal goes to high level
(brake ON) when either of the fol-
lowing conditions is satisfied:
• When the motor speed falls
below the level set in Pn583
after the power to the servomo-
tor is turned OFF.
• When the time set in Pn508 is
exceeded after the power to the
servomotor is turned OFF.

• The servomotor will be limited to its maximum speed even if the value set in Pn583 is
higher than the maximum speed.
• Do not allocate the movement detection signal (/TGON) and the brake signal (/BK) to
the same terminal. The /TGON signal will otherwise be turned ON by the falling speed
on a vertical axis, and the brake may not operate.
For the /BK signal, do not use the terminal that is already being used for another
signal.
