I'm adding a laser to my CNC router and posted a tread quite a long time ago trying to figure a way to set it up. Numerous people suggested a DPDT coil relay and I finally ordered it and now I'm not quite sure how to wire it up.
The basic system is a 120v AC to 12v DC power supply that runs to the Laser Module. This is the lasers main power source. The laser then has a "Trigger wire" That when it receives 12v DC positive it turns on the laser. My CNC router has a software controlled outlet 120v AC that will turn on and off at the correct times while in the cnc Control mode. I want this outlet to trigger the 12v positive DC supply and fire the laser. Hopefully I have the correct relay its a Omron G2r-2 its 5A 250V AC / 5A 30V DC rated. 8 pins on the bottom DPDT. Not sure how to connect it to make this all work. I googled diagrams but can not find one that fits this situation.
I have attached a diagram to hopefully make it more clear, Your help is much appreciated!!!
