I have a whole large box of very-slightly-used eStop switches available to me. I was planning to use some to wire up my KRC-1 for automatic-run operation. Does anyone out there know for sure what the amperage/current rating of the safety circuit is? Thanks in advance!
5 amp switch ok for eStop on KRC-1?

I have not measured it on a robot (yet) but loop current on safety circuits is normally few mA (well under 1A).

Measuring it may not give you a true reading as often safety circuits are pulsed rather than pure DC.
But I'd agree at mA.Sent with Tapatalk.

true but diagnostic pulse is very narrow making next to no difference
