Your controller will enter a Failsafe state in the following circumstances:
* The Failsafe timer has elapsed. For more information, view our [[Failsafe Guide]]
* The E-Stop circuit has been opened

When your controller enters a Failsafe state it will apply the Failsafe Settings listed below and reject all communication until the software channel has been closed and reopened.

===Failsafe Settings===
There are two Failsafe settings that can be customized for your application:
* Failsafe Braking Enabled
* Failsafe Current Limit

====Failsafe Braking Enabled====
=====Disabled (Default Behavior)=====
When disabled (default behavior), your controller will not attempt to slow down your motor upon entering a Failsafe state, it will allow it to coast (freewheel) instead.

=====Enabled=====
When enabled, your controller will forcefully slow down your motor upon entering a Failsafe state, which will often cause power to flow back to your supply (i.e. regenerative braking).

====Failsafe Current Limit====
This will supersede the [[#Current Limit|Current Limit]] and [[#Surge Current Limit|Surge Current Limit]] when the controller has entered a Failsafe state.

===Other Considerations===
The Failsafe timer mentioned above can be enabled or disabled through an API. The E-Stop circuit is always enabled and cannot be disabled. If you do not intend to use it, you must leave the inputs shorted.
