Ex controller schematics

• How Are the 8 inputs used? Is it something like 5 for the limit switches, 1 for the tool setter, and 1 for air pressure sensor? Does that mean there is an unused one, or does the setter use 2 inputs?

Input1	NC	Estop
Input2	NO	XYZ Prox
Input3	NO	Y2 Prox
Input4	NO	Mobile Touch Plate
Input5	NC	Fixed Touch Plate
Input6	NC	Spindle Fault
Input7	NO	Air Pressure
Input7	NO	Plasma Float
Input8	NC	Touch Probe

What is the pinout for the cable with the tool setter? I was thinking of comparing my existing one to the one that came with the ex controller, but hadn’t yet reverse engineered the cable.

The tool height setter is wired NC

What are the pinouts for the aux 3 and 4 ports? I have opt’s xt-50 laser and imagine it can be hooked up through them, but haven’t really investigated that yet either.

Wiring for the laser is the same as it was on Mach systems, so you can use this guide:
