I was more referring to changing the Brake/Coast state while the robot is in operation using a signal input.

Is there actually an associated connector that goes with the speed controller? Just looking at it, it looks like you're expected to just connect the 3-pin PWM and 2-pin limit switch cables directly into the port at their associated pins (like the front panel button/LED pinouts on a PC motherboard).
