use digital input for machine-power

hello,

i'm trying to connect my isel-controller to emc. so i designed a new controllerboard - with some troubles ...
i found out how i can monitor my lpt-port today. it works great and i found the needed input for the emergency stop.
i found also the pin which tells emc that the machine is powered on but i can not find a signal which i can use for setting the state in emc.

here is my configuration for my inputs:

pin 10: ref. switch x
pin 11: ref. switch y
pin 12: ref. switch z
pin 13: emergency stop ext.
pin 15: --> power on (i used digital input 0)

the normal way to use the isel-machine is like emc: power on the main switch, release emergency stop (pin 13), power on the controller (pin 15)

is ther any possibility to tell emc that the digital input 0 is used for power on?

i hope, you know what i mean and sorry about my english ... i'm from austria

greetings

hi john,

thanks for your answer. it looks like that is what i need.

is there any documentation which describes the single points (what ist flood, jog, joint ...).

and i have another question: how can i set the toolchange-position?

thanks a lot
