Parallel Port breakout boards, motherboards, and dedicated accessories / K1 relay not working
« on: April 29, 2019, 07:54:42 AM »
I need help to get my K1 relay to work. I am trying to power my router on/off
I have a PMDX 126 BOB with ESS running Mach3
I'm not sure if the problem is in a mach3 setting or a BOB or ESS setting.
My CNC router is up and running so I assume my charge pump is working fine.
I have tried the following.
I am running in Jumbo mode. Dip switch settings
1-open
2-closed
3-closed
4-closed
5-open
6-open
7-closed
8-closed
JP1 and JP2 both in multimode. I have 110volts to one side of K1 relay but no power out and no LED next to the relay.
Inn Mach 3 config (spindle setup) relay control: disable relay control is unchecked and M3 output#2
Config output signals: outputt#2 enabled – port1 – pin 16 --active low (red X)
Mach 3 is adding M3 and M5 to the G-code and I try the MDI input M3 I have “No Joy”
I have tried meany other settings without success.
What should I try next?
Thanks Onthemarc
