4-Gang 1-Way Switch To Control 3 Power Supplies and a Router Independently

Forgot to mention the SSR is used to enable the coolant pump which uses the same Power Point I suggested for you

Rod, drives should be mounted vertically, as noted in their manuals.

Yeh, that is due to a bigger stuff up. The enclosure is 400 x 400. I removed the backing plate and I carefully marked out all mounting bolts and inserted nutserts everywhere to mount everything. Then mounted everything only to find the backing plate was not square like the enclosure! So the plate is rotated 90 degrees from where I planned.
400 x 400 is really too small but it was what I could get at the time due to COVID. Made for a really messy install because of no room for slotted conduit

I would do this a but differently
Let the mains power come in and use some DIN rail terminals from Ocean controls. They have some Bus bar connectors to join a few together so that are all common. you'll need some green earth terminals as well
Grab something like this industrial power point but seperate the two pieces and flush mount to your enclosuere
www.tropac.com.au/10-AMP-250V-3-Flat-Pin-Switched-Socket
Use the switch as your main power switch and the power point for your router. Put a household breaker on a Din rail for circuit protection
So now you need to switch your router from your 7i96s.
You could use a Jaycar SSR (you also need the heat sink on this page)
www.jaycar.com.au/solid-state-relay-4-32...a-switching/p/SY4084
Or you could use a contractor from tropac but make sure it will switch with 24v DC (some are AC), you may end up with a 3 phase one
www.tropac.com.au/search?keywords=contactor
Between your mains power and the 7i96s, use an EMI filter www.jaycar.com.au/240v-ac-emi-filter/p/MS4001. Then run the mains power to your 5v and 24v power and 36 volt power.
For your estop, Jaycar's one has  1 x NO and 1 x NC contactor. set it up so that the NO side switches 24v to an input and the NC side is on the mains power to your stepper motor supply and your router power point. The goal is that hitting estop will turn the router off and disable motion. We also want to send a signal back to the 7i96s so it knows estop has been pressed. the 7i96s will be powered on all the time.

Hope you have followed thaf!


 

Good afternoon Rod,

Thank you for your guidance and instructions. I am very overwhelmed... I am going to study the solutions suggested by tommylight and Rob ( unknown ), I feel comfortable because they are simpler than this. As my knowledge progresses, might be I can take on this solution.

My friends are all programmers, none of them know electronics. I can only ask questions online, and study using online resources. I find that it is hard for me to get through some issues.

Thank you and best regards,

...behai.
 

Here's an explanation of "Latching Relays", which is what my schematic shows. I made up some PCBs to make the connections easier.

Good evening Rob,

Thank you for the article link. In principle, I understand how it works.

Best regards,

...behai.
