Re: Dynamic Brake/Coast Modes?
Scott,
This is not using the PWM interface, ever. The Brake/Coast jumper is a pulled up input. Close the contact to common and it pulls down into the other state on those devices that use this feature. So you are supplying a closing contact to ground and no voltage in either state. This is my preferred method of interfacing to external control electronics. I don't like volts...
