Hi. I tried to find the answer in the already created topics, but there is no scheme anywhere, and I don’t understand it very well myself. Tell me how to connect the stack lamp to the ruida controller, I know what outputs I need and what they are responsible for, but I need a circuit. And will it b…

I believe the wiring is CN1 Pin 4 Status for “Job Running”, Pin 3 Out 1 for “Machine is Idle”, Pin 2 Out 2 for “Alarm” [image]

[image] Stroonzo: Pin 3 Out 1 for “Machine is Idle”, Pin 2 Out 2 for “Alarm” The manual says “General output, with the function reserved.” My years in hardware/software educated me that when it says that, you can’t depend on it. Even if you measure it while in operation, it could have some …

Do you suggest not using these outputs and using only the output with the name status?

If you want it to work for the product life, you can’t use anything that’s ‘reserved’ by the manufacturer. That term means they can use for and what they wish. I suspect Lightburn has a better line into what these controller are capable of. The previous graphic probably came from China. If it’s w…

You guys had tweaked my interest so I did a bit of digging: [image] Lamp and Bell Enable Ruida controllers Within Manufacturing Setting on the Ruida RDC 6445G there is a section for Lamp and Bell enable. Does anyone know what this means?

We were hoping you’d explain it to us :slight_smile: I’ve been looking through these manuals. Most of the technical seems to contradict itself. One manual stated that it would drive 300ma, the other 500ma, same model. Some say reverse diodes are required, other do not. Thanks I’ll also look… …

Sorry Jack, posted the wrong link: [image] Out1 Out2 RDC6442 Ruida controllers Any one know about out1 and out2 in the RuiDa RDC6442? Lightburn has what looks like control in “Cut Settings Editor” Any connection Phoenix494 Laverne Oct '19 Further to this discussion. …

What does that mean exactly? We know the kind of opto isolators on that board or not capable of more than about 20ma… So what does it mean to the user that they are opto isolated? One of mine says similar but the current limit is 300ma. All of these people testing it with leds… :frowning: My poi…

I would have thought that the General outputs are provided so that Vendors can add options to the machines that can be controlled by the controller or through software. Opto Isolation may not mean much at all to the average user and most likely those same users wouldn’t be looking to modify their ma…
