E-stop Input

[garrettpen]

Does anyone know what voltage the e-stop input expects? I currently have it hardwired to my power supply (just got the controller and got the wiring done except for this tonight), but the estop is still flashing. I checked and there is voltage on e-stop pin 2 (I have a stand-alone switch, no pendant). I can go into the settings and invert it, but then the estop doesn't work at all. Thanks!

i think that is 12 to 24 volts in. Try cycling the estop button

if it's off when power up then turn on then off then on again should clear it

Hi garrettpen,

As Guy said the Estop has to be cycled. You cannot permanently wire the Estop to the Masso Positive without a switch.

This video will tell you everything you need to know about wiring the Estop button. Don't worry the video shows a G2 as the G3 is the same.
Hope this helps
Cheers Peter

@garrettpen - Anything about 3.5V should trigger the input.

Test the Masso input by:

• Remove your existing wire to E-Stop Pin 2
  
• Go to the F1-Setup screen so you can watch the status
  
• Use a short piece of wire to make a circuit between the positive terminal on Masso and the E-Stop Pin 2 connection, the status on the F1-Setup screen should change as the circuit is made/broken (the E-stop LED on the Masso controller should also change color)
  

A lot of of E-Stop style switches have two parallel contacts. There is a chance that you have wired up to a terminal on the separate contacts and therefore will never make a circuit (simple mistakes can be made when burning the midnight oil).

A few more specifics, the wire going to E-Stop pin 2 is on the output of the power supply. My E-stop switch is inline with the 110v going to the power supply, this way when I hit the e-stop it shuts down the power supply and cuts power from pin 2. Right now I can cycle the switch and the estop input always shows high. Even when I check with a multi-meter it shows there is no power on pin 2.

@garrettpen

soumds like you have things wired in an unconventional manner, I would refer to the instruction video that @cncnutz sent and wire and set up accordingly before you cook something. If you want the e stop to cut power to the p/s you will have to look at doing that in parallel to e stopping the Masso without actually effecting how that e stop system for the Masso works
