    Gecko G540 multiple estop wiring diagram request

    What would the circuit look like to wire two additional e-stops for a gecko g540 used in conjunction with Mach3? I have one on the controller box but need another two around the workshop. I’ve tried a few wiring variations out today but i’m flummoxed by this.

    Any links or diagrams most welcome.

    3 Normally Closed E-stops wired in series.

    Correct. However when we wired a test NC E-stop after the primary it not triggering Mach3?

    Then you wired it wrong.
    If you have 3 normally closed switches in series, activating any one of them will open the circuit and trigger the input.
