Emergency Stop Relay
-
I have wired a relay to turn my router on/off when jobs are started and ended. I have also inserted appropriate commands into the pause.g and resume.g macros to stop and start the router as well.
I however cannot find a way to make the relay turn off the router when I hit the hardware emergency Stop button.M950 J1 C"e1stop" ; Assign Pin1 to e1stop M581 P1 T0 S1 R0 ; Enable Emergency Stop M582 T0
Is it possible to do this or is my only option to make the emergency Stop button cut power to everything?

It's just my opinion, but if it's a safety-critical thing, an Estop button should kill all AC power to the equipment it's intended to stop.
Software-controlled Estops should really be labeled "stop-suggestion" button.
