From Phidgets Support
New Phidget motor controllers include an E-Stop circuit that can be used to trigger a Failsafe state.
| E-Stop Input Terminals | Result |
|---|---|
| Shorted | Normal operation |
| Open | Failsafe state activated |
The E-Stop input is shorted with a jumper wire by default. If you would like to implement an E-Stop system, we recommend connecting a normally-closed (NC) switch to the E-Stop input.
Multiple Motor Controllers
If your project uses multiple motor controllers with E-Stops, our controllers have been designed so that all E-stops can be wired in parallel to a single button.
Other Considerations
The E-Stop circuit does not physically interact with the supply voltage or the motor connection. You should not wire your motor, or your supply voltage to this circuit.
