General Mach Discussion / E-Stop not working
« on: April 29, 2017, 05:16:46 PM »
I have a breakout board (KL-D825-5) from Automation Technologies.
It shows the E-Stop to wiring in to P10 and GND. I have done so.
In Mach3 software the setting is in Config/Ports& Pins/Input Signals.
EStop is green checked Enabled, Port# 1, Pin number 10, Active Low is green checked.
I mouse click the Red Reset button in the Mach3 software, hit the E-Stop external button with my hand...nothing changes state and the machine can run the motors with the up/down arrow keys etc.
The EStop did not work. I have played around with the settings a little but nothing works. I have not wired in any of the other limit switches because I wanted to be sure each would work independently of each other before wiring them altogether in series to set the limits of the table work space and EStop, emergency would all work properly. Any suggestions to trouble shoot or test this?
Oh, I also tried the Automated Setup of Inputs, selected EStop, and activated it with no results showing.
