Title: G100 digital inputs - how can I use them?
Post by: peter.nttl on July 07, 2007, 12:28:52 PM

I want to be able to use the various G100 digital inputs to control the G100 digital outputs through Mach3/G100 software.
I am using Digital input 1 for the e-stop, but need to use other digital inputs to monitor the state of external hardware, e.g. enclosure open or closed, or various other safety control switches, and then operate or inhibit other parts of the system.
As an example, if the enclosure is open, inhibit the G-code from running.
Is there a way of using the Mach3 software to switch on or off selected digital outputs, depending on the state of 2 or more digital inputs?

Peter

Hey Peter,
    I think you can get what you want. Depends on what you want as to how to go about getting it. I have sent you a personal message.
