Take a look at this page on my website.
gnipsel.com/linuxcnc/configs/7i77.html
If you look at page 16 of the 7i76 manual you will see that you need to connect 8-32vdc to field power. Typically you use 24vdc relays with a CNC machine.

Thank you, I did some research and looked at your website. I shoudnt have used the 5v Arduino relay with a signal line. I just ordered a 24v normal relay.
Thanks for the help

Be aware that there is a max current rating of about 40mA for a relay and it is preferable to fit a fly back diode across the coil .
