I am just trying to assign CNC12 macros to functions such as "raise the dust hood" on my output relay board. I wrote this test macro. Fired everything up, homed the machine, but I don't see Relay 5 changing state. What am I doing wrong? (note: I tried M95/5 also just in case my logic was swapped - no result).

N100 ;Insert your code between N100 and N1000
M94/5 ;turn o Relay 5 for output control test

;------------------Example Macro for DustFootActivate Output---------------------------
;Use Aux 10 and Aux 11 to Turn on and Off DustFootActivate Output
;M94 is used to Turn on a variable in PLC which in turn activates logic in the PLC
;M95 is used to Turn Off the variable
;Remove the ";" infront of code below in mfunc57 and mfunc58 to use

;M95 /28 ;Turn Off DustFootActivate

N1000 ;End of Macro

By the looks of your report, I believe you have relay #2 set for "DustFootActivate", which is toggled on/off with M94/28 and M95/28. The M94/# M95/# does not reference the relay #.

I was working off the wrong set of G-Codes. I now see outputs are controlled by M6x/M8x where ON for output 1 is M61 and OFF is M81, etc. Seems to be working now and makes sense. Thanks @sword.
