Yes, I will make that call today. I though I saw a hint of non-continuity on pin 15 of the Dsub25 gender changer.

The emulated box is unchecked. I'm using an SPST switch for ann estop. It reads 0.2 ohms.

Are you referring to the actual switch I'm using for an estop? Or a "button" in the UC100 in/out monitor?

Watching the UC100 in/out monitor closing or opening the mechanical switch does nothing. No change in the monitor... Red box stays red regardless of switch being open or closed.

The only time that Estop light goes out is for the split second after I press reset... Then it goes blank for a half second or so, then back to red.

can you please post your XML again?

you said Emulated is unchecked, the XML you posted earlier says emulated is checked.

if your e-stop Switch is connected to pin15 the led in UC Monitor shouls Change if you Switch it.
