1. An auxiliary communication interface device, comprising:

  • a multi-pin machine connection removably connected to a machine;

    a multi-pin robot connection removably connected to a robot disposed proximate the machine;

    a relay board disposed proximate the machine and the robot and within a common operation range of the machine and the robot;

    a first plurality of input relays adapted to receive voltage signals from said multi-pin machine connections;

    a second plurality of input relays adapted to receive voltage signals from said multi-pin robot connection;

    said first and said second plurality of input relays adapted to transmit voltage signals to a first plurality of output relays, a second plurality of output relays, and a third plurality of output relays,wherein said first plurality of output relays is adapted to transmit voltage signals to said multi-pin machine connection,wherein said second plurality off output relays is adapted to transmit voltage signals to said multi-pin robot connection,wherein said third plurality of output relays is adapted to transmit voltage signals to an Input-Output board;

    wherein said Input/Output board is adapted to receive voltage signals and to transmit communication signals;

    an Ethernet port; and

    a serial communication port wherein said serial communication port provides information via said relay board.
