Regulating power to a servo with a relay

Does anyone know if its legal to do this? I wasn't sure if this violates <R48>. It seems fine to <R48>'s statement, but then doesn't seem to look legal in part B. Also <R57> states that servos must be controlled with signals from the digital sidecar, which is still true in our case.

We are using a relay to cut power to a retract servo so we can stop it where ever we want but still using the signal wire on the digital breakout board to control the direction of the servo.

Thanks,
Ethan
