8.2ANALOG/PWMINPUTMODE

In Analog/PWM input mode, the speed and direction of the motor is controlled by the analog               
voltage or PWM signal. The valid input range is 0 – 5V and it’s very easy to control by using                   
a potentiometer. For example, the motor can be controlled by a joystick or foot pedal with               
potentiometer.

NOTE: The Analog/PWM signal to stop the motor (2.5V if SignMagnitude mode is off,             
0V otherwise) must be available when the SmartDriveDuo60 is turned on. Else, the driver             
