Use of In8 with Gecko 540 <Solved>
Posted: Sun Mar 30, 2025 7:09 pm
SW is CNC12 V5.30
I am trying to connect an Acorn Rev 4 to a Gecko 540 (DB25) and attach a touch probe and a Touch plate.
According to S14980 IN5 is ESTOPOK. I have the E-Stop connected per S15980 on Pins 10 and 11 I have limits NO NPN working and home works fine.
I can attach the Touch probe to IN6 and IN7. That works fine
I need 2 more input for the touch plate. The Touch off is NC and from what I read you need 2 inputs for a NC device.
So I am trying to free up more pins.
But if I assign the ESTOPOK to IN5 per the diagram (S114980) in the Wizard the drives are disabled and nothing moves. If I go into the Wizard and move to back to IN8 the drives start working again. (After cycling power etc)
I am trying to get 2 inputs to hook up touchplate.
Is there something else I need to when I move the ESTOPOK to PIN 5.
