Introduction

When operating locally, using throttle or pedal inputs, it is possible to command the motor to go in reverse via a switch or a message over the network. This page describes the available inputs and how to configure the parameters accordingly.

Reverse inputs

Firmware 6.018 and older

Cruise/Digital input 1 is the only input option.

Typically a single throw switch is used between Cruise and Ground.

Firmware 6.019 and newer

Available input sources include Cruise/Digital input 1, PFS/Digital input 2 or network.

For Cruise or PFS, typically a single throw switch is used between your selected input and Ground.

For network, a command must be sent to Remote Digital Commands bit 15 Enable reverse.
