Quick question,
Reviewing my Clearpath to Acorn schematic and shows the E stop wired to ENB1. Understood.
My question is, do I need to run the other axis Enable lines through the E stop as well?
I have a feeling that once you kill one motor, Acorn shuts the whole thing down, correct?
Thanks

Re: Wiring E stop
Estop means Full Halt to everything. All motors and spindles stop.
wiring per drawing S14885 which is for multiple Clearpath Servo motors.

Re: Wiring E stop
Other options are:
1) run one side of the enable circuit thru a relay so that it can be toggled on/off if needed
2) if using the 8 relay board, set OP1 as "OKFaultOut" and one relay will toggle power to contactors, the other the ClearPath enable circuit
3) if desired, use an estop that has 2 circuits, use one for the enable cicuit
All relays should "dump" on an estop or reset, so they do not have to be run thru the estop circuit

Re: Wiring E stop
Thanks Keith,
Didn't see the multiple motors diagram earlier.
