Title: Estop Circuit Enable using Mach Output?
Post by: bmwilson55 on June 15, 2017, 03:01:26 PM
I have a pilz controller that is used for my estop circuit.  One of the requirements to enable the safety circuits is a relay controlled input to the pilz controller.  I am retrofitting my router with a CSMIO controller and using Mach, but I did not see an obvious way to energize an output from mach in order to get the safety control circuit to enable.  I don't really know why the previous motion controller had an output that was required by the safety circuit, but my guess is it was energized when the motion controller was either powered up, or it might have been based on a software estop reset that triggered it.  Is there a way for me to trigger an output in Mach either when I hit the reset button or some other button or?  Thoughts?  Thank you
