Thanks for the informative explanation!

22 gauge wire should only be .516 ohms at 32ft

Mike, Marty, Thanks for the help, I am sure this will help many in the future also, I have the same diagram Mike has with the 1K ohm resistors, notice how the diagram says step and direction and after just calling, Abe said to use them on both and step and direction and mentioned that they were work...

Mike
You nailed it, I had the jumpers on high setting thinking the HLFB was a 5v signal, changed the jumpers to Low and the relays closing as they should,
Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

Marty, thanks for your reply I watch all your vids on youtube. Cable length 32 ft. No resistors, I skimmed over that page 47-48 in the teknic literature but the Acorn board diagram doesnt show them, thats what was confusing. Update; I called into Teknic today and spoke with Abe, he was very helpful ...

Mike and Gary, Thanks for the information, and I dont mean to hijack this thread I didnt start. But reading thru it made me check how I'd wired mine and I tried crashing the Z into a block of wood to fault it and it never did fault this relay board, (wired to NC side to IN5 sees common) https://www....

Mike Richards,
Not sure if you were replying to my post or not, I was talking about the HLFB circuit from a SDSK clearpath motors. As drawn in the diagram it did not work. The alarm circuit opens that common IN5 and causes a fault. My proximity sensors are on IN1 AND IN2.

Nigelo, So the built in macro calls on the tool library, now I am beginning to understand it. I'm on a router. I do not have fixed tool holders and I'm unable to measure a tool Z height when one file has more than one tool. A stupid question. How do I measure a tool immediately when the M6 command b...

I wired mine as per this wiring diagram and the HLFB +GRN wont close the relays the way it is drawn, if IN2 closes that relays it goes nowhere. I had to wire mine on the normally closed side to make it work. Did I read the diagram wrong? wrong relay board?
