Session 1: How to set up safety wiring?

In this tutorial you will connect MachineMotion V2 to Vention safety peripherals. The goal of the safety system is to immediately power off all actuators connected to the MachineMotion controller upon an E-stop event.

Follow these seven steps to create a functional safety configuration:

1. Wire the E-stop safety OUT to the Y splitter

2. Connect the safety interlock to the Y splitter

3. Connect the safety cable to the male port of the Y splitter

4. Connect the safety cable to the safety IN of the parent MachineMotion

5. Connect the yellow jumper to the safety IN port to close the safety circuit of the E-stop switch

6. Connect the safety OUT of the parent MachineMotion to the safety IN of the child MachineMotion

7. Connect the yellow jumpers to the unused pendant port of the child MachineMotion

8. Connect the pendant cable to the pendant port

9. (Optional) If you want to connect to a different external safety, connect the safety cable with pigtail into the safety IN port instead
