I HAVE BEEN TESTING THE POWER OUT OF 24 PIN EE CONECTION ON ROBOT ARM. WHEN I FORCE AN OUTPUT ROBOT I/O I HAVE .5 VOLTS WHEN ON AND 0 VOLTS WHEN OFF IS THIS AMOUNT OF POWER ENOUGH TO SWITCH A RELAY ON AND OFF DO I NEED SOME SPECIAL SWITCHING I NEED TO SUPPLY 24 VOLTS TO RELAY HAVE BEEN FINDING IT DIFICULT TO GET MY HEAD AROUND SETTING UP THE PROCESS I/O PCB THE MANUAL IS NOT THAT USER FRIENDLY I AM SHURE THERE IS A SIMPLE WAY TO TURN ON AND OFF A COUPLE OF CONTACTORS THANKS AM I ON THE RIGHT TRACK IN USING THE ROBOT EE I/O AND NOT THE ADD I/O PROCESS THANK YOU

I am not sure, but I think the outputs on the RJ2 fanuc EE connector are NPN. As in, when the outputs are on, they supply a ground path. They do not source power.

Thank you Nation. if that was correct may be one of the constant 24 volt pins 17 18 19 20 connect to one side of a switch and the other side of switch connect to say pin one which will go to ground the way I tested for .5 volts was from the o volt pin 8 to pin 1 I could force output to pin 1 and were able to turn on and off does this sound logical

That sounds like it should work.
