From Phidgets Support

New Phidget motor controllers include an E-Stop circuit that can be used to trigger a Failsafe state.

E-Stop Input Terminals Result
Shorted Normal operation
Open Failsafe state activated

The E-Stop input is shorted with a jumper wire by default. If you would like to implement an E-Stop system, we recommend connecting a normally-closed (NC) switch to the E-Stop input.

Other Considerations

The E-Stop circuit does not physically interact with the supply voltage or the motor connection. You should not wire your motor, or your supply voltage to this circuit.
