Sorry for my ignorance, but how to I match the outputs to the relay?????

By the way where does output 2 on the DB25 go to?? (sounds stupid I know)

Also on the NEJE schematic it shows +12vdc going to a common pole on the relay? why?

Output 2 is the PWM Output when IT is assigned in the Wizard. You must use DB25 Output 2. PWM is not available on any other output currently.

This drawing is on every schematic:

SAFETY FEATURE! Hit the Estop and it kills the laser. Output 1 is assigned NoFaultOut. When CNC12 is on line, the normally open contacts close and complete the circuit. Hit the Estop and it OPENS, killing power to the laser. If you use an Estop contactor controlled by Output 1 (NoFaultOut) then just use a spare contact on the Estop relay.....

Where would I find information on how to turn relays on and off and how to match the outputs to the relay. I need to be able to turn the laser on/off from the panel. I know the laser button on the VCP runs M37 but how is that setup?

Thanks for your help

Information is here: viewtopic.php?f=60&t=3397

What is the purpose?
Just to locate the start of the part or?
You could use MDI

I need to understand??
Excuse my ignorance but how do I run the outputs through MDI??

No,
In F3 MDI
Use M37 Sxxx to turn it on (Where Sxxx= the desired power, low number if just to get a dot)
M38 to turn it off
