Input/Output Configuration

Note

The available IO pins vary by controller model. For details, refer to the model specifications. This section describes the most common setup choices.

KEY SWITCH HIGH and KEY SWITCH LOW

The KEY SWITCH HIGH and KEY SWITCH LOW signals are used to switch the controller on and off. Configuration options for the keyswitch include:

  • Key off deceleration: controls how quickly the controller stops after a key-off or quickstop event
  • Shutdown time: configurable period of time after the key-off event before the controller turns off.
  • Idle Timeout: a period of time after which the controller will automatically shut down if not used.

THROTTLE POT CENTER Input

This is a proportional, analog voltage that represents the user's throttle input. Refer to the Throttle page for configuration details.

ANALOG IN Input

The ANALOG IN is a second proportional input. Depending on configuration, it can be used to:

  • Scale the main throttle input (Max Speed Pot),
  • Accept a voltage from a motor temperature sensor.
