Re: Runaway CIM motors

Did a limit switch jumper on the Jaguar fall out? It is possible that the Jag is trying to get back from a limit condition. Full on is not the general failure on these devices. It happens but it is vary rare. If the PWM cable is left inserted and you disable the robot, does the motor continue to spin?
