I am terribly sorry about saying the inhibit being pullea high, I opened the manual and you are correct, its low.
Like you said lcnc will not have a feedback for the enable signal itself from those drives, it just assumes they enable when commanded.
Go with the e-stop approach or use one output to turn on/off the existing relay.

Hi Craig!

Those are insane machines! Great job!

Are them all controlled by LinuxCNC?

 
We created our own real-time system under Windows.
The axis interface was a PCI board with 12 DACs (16bit) and 24 quadrature encoder interfaces (we do dual-loop feedback) so this was PC-Based.

I have thousands of CNC tube-bender controls, worldwide.

Had enough of the PC and so now we switched to microcontrollers but with an Android-based HMI.

This year, I intend to introduce a TRUE open-source CNC metal forming control that utilizes ubiquitous hardware that anyone can obtain for pennies

All axes controlled by the RPi Pico. Any number of axes.
HMI can be any Android device such as phone, tablet, or panel-pc.

It's time that this stuff was simplified
