solid state relay...Came with my CNC kit.

yep, just what I use mine for in conjunction with the PID controller. It turns on low voltage when temperature falls too low, and the SSR turns on 120v fan to send more oxygen to my coals.Inkbird SSR for PID Temperature Thermostat Controllers

some people use a control voltage to turn on a routerSuper, thanks gents.
I plan to use contactors to turn on the 110V and 220V AC power to the two power supplies.
I'm struggling to see a need for this in my CNC enclosure.
Oh interesting. Everything will go through the Masso contoller. Servos are all step and direction controlled including the servo that I'll be using for the spindle.some people use a control voltage to turn on a router
Coolant or mister pump control.Oh interesting. Everything will go through the Masso contoller. Servos are all step and direction controlled including the servo that I'll be using for the spindle.
That's a definite possibility though wouldn't I just use a solenoid? (asking naively...)Coolant or mister pump control.
It's the control of the solenoid that is the issue. If it's a 12V solenoid and your Masso controller has 5V output it won't run. So first question to answer is what are the specifications of the outputs on the controller?That's a definite possibility though wouldn't I just use a solenoid? (asking naively...)
The problem with relays is that the contacts arc because they switch on power when the voltage may be at a peak. The SSRs only switch at the zero crossing so they are easier on the equipment. You can generally run them with a lower voltage output. For example a 12V relay needs a diode across the windings and needs to have 12V to switch on. The SSRs don't need that and can often be switched on with just 5V so a perfect companion for your interface board.
It is 5V so I'll need something to trigger the solenoid.It's the control of the solenoid that is the issue. If it's a 12V solenoid and your Masso controller has 5V output it won't run. So first question to answer is what are the specifications of the outputs on the controller?

The power supply for the drivers is a monster 48V, 20A unit, I wonder if the original owner intended to use it to trigger that.I’m using an ssr on my electric kiln and on my hot tub controller boards. Nice way to energize large loads
