I did try.
I have configured ENABLE # 0 with PIN1 output
for security I used a relay.
the relay is activated / deactivated simply by pressing ENABLE / DISABLE in Mach4.
the M211 and M210 macros have no effect.

Hi,
just above you wrote "You don't address a pin in Mach4, you use an API for Machs core to set a signal"
currently I do not have any pins that enable the servos, they are always physically connected to SERVO ON.
just decide on which pin to intervene and I try ..

My PIN was just a hypothesis, since the macros have no effect.
Use CSMIO / IP-S of CsLab

Hi,
Today I loaded macros and called via MDI.
But nothing happened.
Question:
it seems to me that the PIN that needs to be turned on or off is missing in the macro.

Hi,
today when I come back from work I try the macros.
can you explain their function to me? because I did not understand well.
do I insert them in the macros folder?
can I do from MDI? I called the macros M210 and M211.

I tried this sequence.

1- I made home aces.

2- moved Z axis halfway.

3- I physically disconnected wire in servo OFF.

4- moved Z axis through Jog (DRO of moving, but Z axis remains physically still).

5- connected wire in servo ON (motor active).

After the sequence 5, nothing happened.

Physical axis and DRO of Mach4 were in two different positions.

Hi,
yes, it's correct as you say. if I disable input, Mach4 executes, and engines are stopped.

When enabling drives, Mach4 and lathe axes are in two different positions.

I hypothesize solution:
it is possible to create a button in Mach4, which when pressed, memorizes DRO axes, and at the same time activates pin output  (to which I connect relay).

and at the release of this button, it will change the current DROs, with those stored previously, also deactivating output???.

if it were possible to create this button with these two functions, the problem would be solved!

Hello, I'm sorry for the very late reply, I had a lot of commitments, so I had to temporarily suspend hobbies.
I enclose the link of my drive manual.
I think, I'll have to feed the PIN9 to disable drive movement. (I'm not an expert in electronics).
thank you.
