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.

• Input/Output Configuration
  • Keyswitch
  • Throttle Input
  • ANIN Input
  • Switch 1
  • Switch 2
  • Switch 3
  • Driver 1
  • Driver 2

Keyswitch

The KEY_HIGH and KEY_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 Input

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

ANIN Input

The ANalog INput 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.

Switch 1

Switch 2

Switch 2 has a configurable function:

• Quickstop/Fault input

Switch 3

Switch 3 has a configurable function:

Driver 1

Driver 1 is an open-collector output that can be used for:

• Fault indication

Driver 2
