4.2.8 Stopping Linear Servomotor after Receiving Servo OFF Command or Alarm
Occurrence
The stopping method can be selected after the servo OFF command is received or an alarm occurs.
(1) Stopping Method for Linear Servomotor After Servo OFF Command is Received
Use Pn001.0 to select the stopping method for the linear servomotor after the servo OFF command is received.
Note: Similar to the Coast Mode, the n.0 setting (which stops the linear servomotor by dynamic braking and then
holds it in Dynamic Brake Mode) does not generate any braking force when the linear servomotor stops or when it 
moves at very low speed.
• Dynamic braking (DB) is used for emergency stops. The DB circuit will operate fre-
quently if the power is turned ON and OFF with a reference input applied, which may 
result in deterioration of the internal elements in the SERVOPACK.
Use speed input references or position references to start and stop the linear servo-
motor.
• If the main circuit power supply (L1, L2, and L3) or the control power supply (L1C,
L2C or 24V, 0V depending on the SERVOPACK model) is turned OFF before the 
servo OFF command is received, the stopping method for linear servomotor cannot 
be set by parameters. 
If turning OFF the main circuit power supply before the servo OFF command is 
received, the linear servomotor will be stopped by dynamic braking.
If turning OFF the control power supply before the servo OFF command is 
received, the stopping method will vary with the SERVOPACK model. Two stop-
ping methods are available.
• Coasting 
Applicable models: SGDV-330A, 470A, 550A, 590A, 780A, 280D, 370D
• Dynamic braking
Applicable models: All SERVOPACKs other than those listed for coasting.
• If the linear servomotor must be stopped during operation by coasting rather than by
dynamic braking when the main circuit power supply or the control power supply is 
OFF, arrange the sequence externally so the current will be cut off for wires U, V, and 
W.
• To minimize the coasting distance of the linear servomotor to come to a stop, the
zero-speed stopping method is factory-set for alarms to which the zero-speed stop 
method is applicable. The DB stopping method may be more suitable than the zero-
speed stopping method, however, depending on the application. Change the method 
to the DB stopping method as required by the application.
For example, for multiple axes coupling operation (a twin-drive operation), machinery 
damage may result if a zero-speed stop alarm occurs for one of the coupled shafts 
and the other shaft stops by dynamic brake. In such cases, change the method to the 
DB stopping method.
