Inputs

e stop the e stop input signals that the system needs to stop immediately the e stop does not replace a proper external e stop switch, the user is responsible for having an external hardware e stop switch to switch off the machine in case of emergency the figure below shows how the input circuit is designed this image shows that a 10k resistor is used as a pull up on the input this means that if you would measure on this input you will measure 5v please note, that this is not the ‘real’ 5v but just a pull upped value the image also shows that in order to activate this input you need to connect it to ground in the image below this is illustrated for a normal open and normal closed switch it must be indicated in the software whether a switch is either normal open (no) or normal closed (nc) this is set via the ‘homing and e stop’ part of the setup screen a message will appear on the screen to show that an e stop condition has occurred please note, by default the e stop input is disabled probe the probe input has multiple functions, it can be used for determining the height of the material determining the length of a tool the figure below shows how the input circuit is designed this image shows that on the input a 10k resistor is used as a pull up this means that if you would measure on this input you will measure 5v please note, that this is not the ‘real’ 5v but just a pull upped value the image also shows, in order to activate this input you need to connect it to ground as shown in the image below if you need to connect multiple devices to this input, you can simply connect them in parallel, as shown in the image below the system will know when to consider this an actual probe or when it is a toolsetter home1 the home1 input is used for connecting the x, y, and z home switches for the machine so it knows where it is the figure below shows how the input circuit is designed this image shows that on the input a 10k resistor is used as a pull up this means that if you would measure on this input you will measure 5v please note, that this is not the ‘real’ 5v but just a pull upped value this input is used for the x, y, and z axis depending on the type of switch, normal open or normal closed, the switch need to be connected differently in the software, it must be indicated whether a switch is either normal open (no) or normal closed (nc) this is set via the ‘homing and e stop’ part of the setup screen home4 the home4 input is used if a 4th axis upgrade is activated this input takes only a single home switch the figure below it shows how the input circuit is designed this image shows that on the input a 10k resistor is used as a pull up this means that if you would measure on this input you will measure 5v please note, that this is not the ‘real’ 5v but just a pull upped value please note, that all home switches need to be the same with respect to normal open or normal close it must be indicated in the software whether a switch is either normal open (no) or normal closed (nc) this is set via the ‘homing and e stop’ part of the setup screen
