MPG Pendant
CAUTION: When installing the pendant on MASSO, E-Stop pin 1 must be used, or the pendant E-Stop button will not function. If using MASSO G3 Touch, move the black wire from E-Stop pin 2 to E-Stop pin 1. If using MASSO G3 with existing E-Stop buttons, move the E-Stop wire from pin 2 to pin 1.
INFORMATION: Jogging with the MPG can only be performed in the F3 JOG screen.
INFORMATION: The MPG can be used on the F2 screen in combination with F11 (Feed Rate Override) and F12 (Spindle Speed Override).
A wired MPG (Manual Pulse Generator) can be connected to MASSO to jog machine axes and control functions such as feed and spindle overrides.
A ready-to-use MASSO MPG pendant is available for purchase from the MASSO website.
MPG Pendant Wiring

Extension Cable
If using a DB15 extension cable between MASSO and the pendant, ensure that:
- All 15 pins are connected
- The cable shield is connected end-to-end
If the shield is not connected, the pendant will not function correctly.
Installing MPG Connector on MASSO G3 Touch
- Pass the cable through the rear slot of MASSO
- Remove the D-connector plastic shell and install as shown
- Move the black E-Stop wire from E-Stop 2 to E-Stop 1
- Secure the cable to prevent strain on the connector
MPG Inputs
- All inputs are optically isolated and rated up to 24V
- Inputs can be monitored in the
F1-Setup screen for troubleshooting
The input logic can be inverted if required for third-party pendants.
For the MASSO pendant, all inputs 
must be set to No in the invert column.
