But I don't know if I am configuring M62Px correctly.
I associated Spindle on (therefore M3) with relay 1 and spindle forward with relay OC 1.
But how and where is it declared that M3 = spindle on and where is written that M62P1 + = *********X?
Following the tests M62 / M63Px does not work with the gcode (above), M3 activates relay 1 and relay OC but M63P1 does not cut OC.

No need to use spindleOn/spindle ffw for M62P*, just set pokeys oc to an Mach4 output (ex. Output2) and use M62P2/M63P3 with follow code of G0/G1, be sure that u have the latest upgrade of pokeys software/board. There is a plugin from 10/2021 and software vs is 8.85.

Yes ok I saw for the mach4 output, I will try the config.
On the other hand on pokeys we find that the soft version:
  PoKeys v4.5.0 Configuration and PoBlocks (8.9.2021) .exe (53.41 Mb)
and PoKeys Mach4 plugin version 8.78.0.4342 + manuals.zip (7.5 Mb) with date of 09/2020
I don't see a plugin version of 10/2021.
Otherwise my softwares are ok.
I'm doing tests tonight.

Regards
Thank you

Hi
I just tried the config.
I have mapped the output 0 on pokeys with the output OC1.
(see picture) and do the gcode with M62P1 but no activation of the OC1 output.
I looked for other solutions, put the output on an Enable or put OC2 (M62P2) but ditto, I have the latest version mach4, pokeys57cnc, plugin mach4 and firmware. I also checked the M62 / M63 option in the plugin
I also saw that there are macro files in the M162 and M163 macros folder, what are they used for?

If you have any suggestions, I'm interested
Thank you

Hi, first to activate Output0 you need to do M62P0 and follow with movement, like:
M62P0
G1 X10 F300

I also saw that there are macro files in the M162 and M163 macros folder, what are they used for?
Don't know, i don't have those macros and every macro is used base the machine use.

Yes ok I saw for the mach4 output, I will try the config.

I get from polabs support the latest, i don't know if i can share it here or is ok for you. I had problems with M62 too before i upgrade plugin/software, don't spend time figure it out without upgrade the versions. Ask polabs for newer or tell me to send it to you.
