hello

Do you know what does 'coast' mean in sinamics?

Hello RetroK;

Here is a simile for coasting:

You are driving your car on the highway, and apply the brakes. The car then decelerates quickly, and comes to a stop.

Now you are driving once more, and decide to ltake the foot off the gas pedal. Without gas getting to the engine, the engine provides no power and no acceleration and the car slowly loses speed until coming to a standstill. This is called "coasting", when the deceleration comes from de-energizing the power source (see the message you attached) and the stopping time will not be controlled.

In many applications in industry electric motors do not require precise deceleration or rapid braking and can be left to coast to stop on their own, de-energizing the controls.

Hope this helps,

Daniel Chartier
