System Overview¶

Major Components¶

Emergency Stop¶

The emergency stop system is a normally closed circuit and must be plugged in for the CNC controller to operate. It is recommended to keep it within easy reach during machine operation so it is quickly accessible if the machine needs to be emergency stopped.

To activate the emergency stop, press down on the red button. The machine will come to an immediate stop and all outputs connected to the CNC controller will be turned off.

In order to clear the emergency stop, twist the red button clockwise until it releases.

Motor Disable Switch¶

The motor disable switch can be found on the side of the box below the fan. Using the motor disable switch will disconnect power to the motor drives and motors. This works as a safety measure and allows you to perform maintenance, manually move the machine, or disconnect and reconnect motors without any danger to the motors or drives.
