There could be something in the wiki that might help.
What I have on most of my machines, is a signal out connection between motion-enable and some ssr's that shut down all motor power at the ac in point. In the case of two of them, I have a soft-start delay that when turning on starts power thru a 200 watt 50 ohm resistor and sets a timedelay which fires 3 seconds later, otherwise the supply inrush (too many uf's in the filter caps for a 1 hp+ dc motor) trips a 25 amp service breaker, so now I can use a 20 amp in the service box for that circuit. Legal on 10 ga romex. Since that same circuit is alternate action, it may be possible to feed a push button, normally open, into it which would insert the signal only for as long as the button is pushed. But I've not done it, yet. I bought a doorbell button only to find its on all the time because of its night light bulb. I also bought a couple of the smashit to shut it off switches from LMS, as used on the baby 7" lathes, but found their logic to be backwards to what I wanted to do, they give 2 closed contacts when unlatched, and open both when slapped. But figureing out where to mount them and train me to hit them instead of f2 on the keyboard, which I should do because the keyboard might not be focused on the main axis screen. Thats caught me out several times on the G0704 and broke a tool or 3. And what ever you do, should also unhome the machine since the machine may coast when the power goes away. In short, its a problem still in search of a solution at my place too, that when found should be added to the wiki. Something we can all use. > > > > > "ELS!
