Emergency shutdown

I use my VESC-drive to control a rail-bound teaser-machine from a distant place. If by bad chance the RC-Tx drops out while the machine is running it will continue to move on.

Is there a setting that I did not find until now that turns the drive off or set it to minimum whenever the RC-Rx does not receive a valid signal?

This is a safety issue. Any suggestions to resolve this will be highly appreciated

In the app setting you will find a safety timout value that defines how long to wait after a signal drop. After that time the VESC will cut back the power. You can also define a timeout brake current that is applied if the signal is lost.
