General Mach Discussion / Re: How to connect buttons in Mach
« on: March 06, 2011, 04:25:54 PM »
I have buttons on my panel for coolant, they are momentary and work via a Brain, so if the code puts the coolant on and I want it off I just press the panel button, no need for a toggle.
Dont know what people have toggles for as I dont think I have seen any.
On my panel I have a latching switch for spindle enable/disable and also for power drawbar on the mill but really they are not through Mach as such. The enable gets a signal from Mach to my drives but goes to the spindle drive via the latching switch, Mach doesnt care if its open or closed. The enable switch is NC and NO and I feed the NO back to Mach and have my start button look at the input so that if the drive is disabled Mach sees it and will pop up a message telling me to enable
