If zero-clamp speed control is selected, set the motor speed level at which zero-clamp is
to be performed.
Conditions for Zero-clamp
Zero-clamp is performed when all the following conditions are met:
a) Zero-clamp speed control is selected.(Bits A and B of memory switch Cn-01 are set to
1 and 0, respectively.)
b) P-CON (1CN-41) is turned ON (0 V).
c) Motor speed drops below the preset value.

3.4.4 Using Holding Brake
1)
Outline
Holding brake is useful when a servo drive is used
to control a vertical axis. A servomotor with brake
prevents the movable part from dropping due to
gravitation when the system power is turned OFF.
NOTE
The built-in brake in Servomotor with brake is a de-energization operation type, which is
used for holding purposes only and cannot be used for braking purposes. Use the holding
brake only to retain a stopped motor. Brake torque is more than 100% of the rated motor
torque.
