Compensation:

due to the momentum in all the moving parts. This coasting distance is

shut off the motor but will continue to monitor the distance that the
machine coasts. If the machine coasts too far, then the controller will shut
off the motor earlier. If the machine doesn’t coast long enough, the
controller will run the motor slightly longer. In order to prevent over
