Im doing a retrofit on an older sharnoa a cnc machine. I have Dmm Ac servos ess board w/ c62 bob. Im trying to hook my coolant ssr relay up . I can power the pump fine but when I go to shut it down it stays running. The input and load are connected properly . The input is the 4.95v from the ess the load is 220v.
Any suggestions?

If you disconnect the input, the pump stays running??
If yes then the SSR is blown - permanently on is a favourite failure mode for SSR's.

This is a common problem with many manufactures. A quick google search will show that . Once the load triggers the on mechanism/ circut they wont shut off until there is a certain lack of or provided volts. People use different resistors or capacitors to achieve this . Im not savy enough to know.
I have ten new solid state relays . I doubt there all bad.
could be though

Sounds like you might need a pulldown resistor to ensure the output from the board goes below the threshold voltage of the SSR.
I'm not sure of values here but a 1k resistor between the SSR input and 0v would not do any harm, can't guarantee it will work though :)

Probably does not apply in this case but...
There are various types of SSR's with the most common type designed to switch the load ON / OFF at the zero crossing point of the a.c. mains waveform - they will not operate correctly with a d.c. load.
Tweakie.

Yes, i read this as an AC 220v pump.
Sounds like the BOB output is not dropping low enough to release the SSR.
OP - can you get your SSR turned on then confirm it WILL stop the pump if the 5v signal is disconnected at the SSR?

As I wrote Im doing a retro fit. One of the older power supply for the 24v AC had a ceramic capacitor the bridges the two -+ sides together . I hooked that power supply up with that capacitor and boom it works.
I have no clue what capacitor it is because the top of the resistor is laminated in a red wax material .
At least im on the right track.

If it is a red round type of component it's probably a MOV or metal oxide varistor - a type of self resetting shunt that helps prevent voltage spikes.
Glad its moving on :)
