    Hi! I’m wondering if it’s possible to wire fault lights to the limit switches. I’m using an old control panel and the hole for light is already there. I would like to have the indicator light for easy of finding the fault or if the machine is left running. I know it’s not necessary, but since I’m using the machine in a industrial setting, I would like to have the easy of finding the fault. I’m assuming I would need a 5v LED to wire to the switch. How would I wire in?

    I’m using the BBx32.

    While I’m at it, I would also like a running indicator light to come one when the plasma fires. Is this possible?

    Hi! I had this in electronics thread but no response. I’m wondering if it’s possible to wire fault lights to the limit switches. I’m using an old control panel and the hole for light is already there. I would like to have the indicator light for easy of finding the fault or if the machine is left running. I know it’s not necessary, but since I’m using the machine in a industrial setting, I would like to have the easy of finding the fault. I’m assuming I would need a 5v LED to wire to the switch. How would I wire in? I also thought about switching the limit switches to 24v to get power to some lights. Can the openbuilds extension limit switches handle the 24v?

    I would also like to have a running light for the plasma machine once it fires, I’m wondering if I light can be wire to Relay1 in line with the plasma?

    I’m using the BBx32.
