Operating principle
A voltage ramp is used to implement soft stopping. With the ramp-based stopping function,
the motor voltage is decreased along a linear, negative voltage ramp.

Description
Ramp-down time
The length of the ramp-down time defines the time within which the motor
voltage is reduced from line voltage to 0 V.
It may take longer for the motor to actually coast down to a standstill.
