Hi,
This Shizouka I am retrofitting has a built in motor control panel consisting of a number of relays. It is designed to take momentary M3, M4, and M5 commands. So when mach outputs a steady signal for M3 and M4, and no signal for M5, it causes some issues. My first step in dealing with this was to use a normally open, normally closed relay between the mach signal and the motor control panel. This works for controlling the motor, but screws up the estop circuit (built into the motor control panel) which is a normally closed circuit. I purchased some interval relays to change the signals going from the relay to the motor control panel to momentary and am going to try that. Is there a way to change the way mach sends out M3 and M5 commands to momentary signals on separate pins?
Thanks,
Bill
