Reconfigurable PCB for brake operation of exit and entrance crossing gate mechanism

A crossing gate mechanism comprising:

• a brake including a brake relay coupled to an electric motor configured to operate a crossing gate arm of a crossing gate,
• a configuration logic circuit connected to the brake relay, and
• an internal power source,
• wherein the configuration logic circuit is configured to operate the brake relay in a first gate mode or in a second gate mode, the first gate mode being an entrance gate mode and the second gate mode being an exit gate mode,
• wherein the first gate mode is based on a first logical control and the second gate mode is based on a second logical control that is inverted with respect to the first logical control, and
• wherein, in the second gate mode, the internal power source provides power for operating the brake relay, and
• further comprising an entrance/exit gate jumper configured to enable the electric motor to provide assistive force to the crossing gate arm when in operation,
• wherein the brake relay receives the control signals from the entrance/exit gate jumper configured as an exit gate jumper, the control signals being based on voltage levels provided by the internal power source to the exit gate jumper.
