The machine works off of 220 3 phase ac but I am pretty sure the e-stop is 24volts DC. I will try to get more information as I really need to figure out how to get the e-stop on the mach 3 to work when the e-stop on the machine is pushed as it is dangerous the way I have it now, The only thing the mach 3 operates is the steppers that control X,Y, and Z so if it is running a program and the machine e-stop is hit it stops the spindle where it is at the time but the X,Y and Z continue to run it makes for broken tools. The machine is very powerful and dangerous in that state. Thanks again MN300 for trying to help. I can send a more detail diagram of the machine but some of it has been changed as when I installed the Mach 3 I did away with the tape reader and some of the boards that control the X,Y,and Z steppers. There is plenty of room in the cabinet to add things. Thanks again and I wish I was more versed in electrical wiring to tell you more. I will see what extra I can come up with to add to this thread. I use the machine but it is dangerous in this state.
