Brake Release Connector
The 9-pin Brake Release connector provides low-active input signals to manually release the
brakes on Joint 3 and Joint 4. This can be used as an alternative to the Brake Release button.
The digital inputs on this connector meet the same input level requirements as the XIO inputs.
