The latest 3rd generation breakout board has been upgraded to the intelligent, professional and industrial-level interface board set by re-designing the PCB board, embedding intelligent memory chip (professional version) and upgrading the external manual control tools (control pad and display panel).
Actually, the 3rd generation breakout board set has two types of versions, one is the standard version , and another is the professional version. Compare to the standard version, the professional version mainly has two more functions than the standard version, one is the "computer G-code recording function", and another is the "manual programing function". Except these two functions, these two types of versions have no other differences.
With the embedded intelligent memory chip, the professional version of this 3rd generation 5 Axis breakout board can easily record MAXIMUM 4 Axis' (X, Y, Z, A Axis) G-code running on the CNC software (e.g. Mach3, EMC2, KCAM4, etc..) of the computer, and then rerun the recorded G-code to make the stepper motor work without the computer any more.
Furthermore, the upgraded external manual control tools (display panel and control pad) on the professional version can be not only used for manually controlling the stepper motor, but also manually programming the G-code . All the manually Programmed G-code will also be recorded in to the embedded intelligent memory chip, and then we also can easily run the recorded G-code to control the stepper motor. Considering that the computer G-code recording function is enough for all the four axis working without computer, to avoid repeated function, the manual programming function is mainly designed for one axis to make linear motion, therefore, the four axis cannot be manually programmed simultaneously. This function is widely used on working which just need one Axis, such as RBI machine, Conveyor etc..
In short, the qualities and functions of the new 3rd generation advanced 5 axis breakout board are revolutionized from the previous version. So, we believe that these two types of versions must satisfy different users for microstep drivers on CNC DIY.
The item you are watching is the 5 Axis Standard Version (BCD-S) , if you need the professional version, please feel free to contact with us.
Please note: This board use parallel port to communicate with computer, the usb is used for providing power for the board.
High performance, cost-effective
To manually control the stepper motor, both of the standard and professional drivers have been equipped with the display panel and control pad.
Automatically identify both of the computer and control pad, functions of the computer and control pad can be switched intelligently for each other without any interference.
Display panel can real-time trail the running path of G-Code on the computer or input by the control pad, and then completely and synchronously display the changing of MAXIMUM FOUR axis' (X, Y, Z A axis etc.) values on its screen, it is completely synchronous with the values' changing on the FOUR coordinates of Mach3 .
Both of the standard version and professional version are compatible with the Mach2, Mach3(Default Software), LinuxCNC(EMC2), KCAM4 CNC Software , etc.. Besides, the professional version also can automatically trail the path running path of G-Code from the CNC software (e.g. Mach3, EMC2, KCAM4, etc.) of the computer and record the G-code into the memory chip; Easy to repeatedly run the G-code to control the stepper motors without computer.
The professional version also supports manual programming via the control pad, as long as input the required values on one axis and record them in the memory chip of the driver, and then run these recorded values to drive the axis to make linear motion, widely used on RBI machine, Conveyor and so on.
Automatically finish Tool-settings on X, Y, Z Axis via the control pad , without the support of the computer.
Two ways to get power , 5V DC power supply or USB port to get power from PC directly.
Compatible with all the 2 phase, 3 phase and 4 phase microstep drivers in the market.
Automatic circuit protections function when the wirings between the breakout board and microstep drivers are incorrect.
Two-stage signal processing , smooth signal transmission, powerful anti-jamming.
With Relay output control interface, available to control the spindle motor, air pump, water pump, etc..
5 Types of input control in manual control interface, to set Limit, Estop, Midpoint-Setting, Cutter-presetting/Tool-Setting etc..
Parallel port communication
Suitable for a wide range of 2 phase, 3 phase and 4 phase microstep drivers in the market, such as M542, M542H, MA860H, 2MA2278, 2M542, 2M860, 2M982, DM542, DM860, 3M565, 3MA860, 3MA2290 etc..
For advising, such as brand, architechture mould, badge, nameplate, display boards, doorplate, furniture decoration, etc.It can be used in various kinds of machines, such as X-Y tables, labeling machines, laser cutters, engraving machines, pick-place devices, and so on.
This breakout board is just a interface board, NOT a stepper driver board, it must work together with the microstep drivers(eg. MA860H etc..) to control the stepper motors. So, it CANNOT control the stepper motors solely.
