Initial Speed Detection (ISD_EN) decides if speed detection is required to resynchronize if the motor is spinning or to stop the motor irrespective of speed and restart from stationary state. In high inertia applications, ISD helps optimize the startup by reducing startup time significantly.
In Figure 3-1, the motor was forced to brake and start from stationary even with sufficient BEMF available for direct pass-off to closed loop as ISD is disabled. In Figure 3-2, Motor resyncs with the drive and ramps up to commanded speed due to ISD being enabled.
