    Robotic Arm and Mach3 interface

    I am trying to utilize the 24 volt dc output signal from a robotic arm to cycle start a cnc mill that is using the Mach3 software. Not sure where to begin!

    Assign an input in Mach for C/S and use the 24v output on the robot to pick up a miniature relay, the contact on the relay would be fed to the P.P. input.
