I didn't see an edit button, so I attempt to add on to my story.
I just went ahead and dropped another wire down from my pc to this break-out board adding the 12volts and continued trouble shooting. I found that I had assumed port 0 was the first and only port, mine is port 1. With port one and pin 10, I got ESTOP working. I then disconnected the 12volts and ESTOP no longer worked.
I want to believe the person I talked to at Automation Systems knows his product, so I think it's likely I have a counterfeit, and that someone made some unnecessary dependencies on the 12-24 volt VCC.
Hat off to Ger21! Many thanks!
