For inductive loads, it is recommended to place a diode (known as freewheeling diode) anti-parallel with the brake (i.e., Anode connected to the negative pole of the
brake and cathode connected to the positive pole). Standard rectifier diodes such as 1N4002 or 1N4934 are appropriate for the application. These will prevent
inductive kicking (voltage rise when current through the inductor falls to zero).
Actually, there are other options to avoid inductive kicking. Instead of a diode, a varistor or a RC snubber in parallel with the brake can also be used. This will
improve transistor turn off time.
Next figure show how to connect an inductive load to Jupiter outputs (GPO1 can also be used).
