External feed hold or stop

Hi Tormach,

Is there a way I can send a feed hold or stop signal from an external controller to the machine? I have an 1100MX. Thanks!

USB I/O

RELEASE NOTES FOR PATHPILOT V2.14.4 July 2026 ENHANCEMENTS All l You can now use the USB IO Kit to control the machine and report machine status through user-assigned input and output mappings. For example, an input can trigger cycle start or a custom MDI command, while an output can signal whether the machine is ready or if a program is running. This makes it possible to build automated workflows with external systems. To enable IO mapping, go to the Settings tab and select USB IO Kit, which displays the IO Mapping tab. (PP-4532)
