Retrofitting a 1986 Maho MH400E

Sorry, my mistake, I confused the 7A1 relay with the SH1 start switch in my last post. I wired the second pole of the SH1 start switch to V.Button.0.

The way I like the machine to operate is this
1 close the K1 and wait for linux-gmoccapy to boot
2 press off all the estop boutons, doing so the power bouton on the gmoccapy from grayed becomes ready
3 press the double hard bouton next to soft power bouton and the machine starts, oiler-indramat… ext (and the power bouton goes green)
4 if I press again power bouton (hard or soft) the machine will power off
If something is not ok, as soon I let go the bouton everything goes off (not estop)
If something goes wrong in wiring the machine will power off , if something goes wrong to software everything powers off (not in estop but in power off)
I don’t know if this the proper behavior of a cnc machine, I haven’t use cnc in the past

I don’t think you make something wrong, I simply prefer that behavior of the machine

I will use the MAHO 28X2-4 pin from relay board to feed motion.enable pin on linuxcnc so the controller knows if something went wrong.

In you approach is that when everything is power off gmocapy will show emergency off even if all the emergency boutons are on, when you press estop everything is power up except the servos, in this state gmoccapy will show emergency bouton on and power bouton off, and then when you press the power bouton servos goes on and gmoccapy show power on.
In my approach I have described what happens in previous post.
Is there a standard (or mainstream approach) to describe what is the proper behavior of a machine to the estop and power boutons.
