I have three of the older G320, so I assume that I will need to use the
ERR/RES manager circuit or an equivalent.

Do you by chance have a PC layout for it, so I don't have to reinvent the
wheel. I can do it, but it does take time.

I was planning on using the ERR/RES Manager circuit, with the addition of the
SPDT switch added so that I could also shutdown or reset manually, in the way
that Dan describes. Also I want to use a NC contact on my EStop Switch, so
that it also shuts the Gecko's down. I will also drop out the main contactor
to remove all power on an Estop.
My years of an Electrician/Electronics Tech, show here when I desire a method
of redundant means of shutdown.
So I assume that because I have the earlier G320's, that I will have to use
the older ERR?RES Manager circuit, is this correct.
I am doing an EMCO COMPACT 5 LATHE and hopefully will have it up and running
soon, then the questions will start on how to do"LATHE" with the various
software.
thanks,
