Thanks for the reply. The image on the link shows a pair of pins
labeled Gnd & Ebl. After testing I found these are 0v and 5v when the
driver is running normally, but there is no 5v when the drive has
tripped. I've connected an LED in series with a 1k resistor between
these terminals so it lights up when the drive is enabled ( close
enough to what I wanted ). In parallel with the LED have taken the 5v
from each drive to the control box. I will need to use these signals
for an Emergency Stop without connecting them together.
I'll post a sketch of my final circuit for anyone who is interested.
Regards, Glen.
