5 AXIS STANDARD BREAKOUT BOARD

The breakout board in this kit is professional version, which has been upgraded to an intelligent and industrial-level interface board set including control pad and display panel. Compared to standard version, professional version mainly has two more functions. One is the "computer G-code recording function", and the other is the "manual programing function".

Please note: This board uses parallel port to communicate with computer, the USB is used for providing power for the board.

Computer G-code recording function

With the embedded intelligent memory chip, this 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, after which you can control the microstep drivers and stepper motors via using the recorded G-code without computer.

Manual programing function

The upgraded built-in manual control tools (display panel and control panel) not only can be used for manual motor control, but also for manual G-code programming. Manually programmed G-code will be recorded onto the embedded intelligent memory chip, after which you also can easily control the microstep drivers and stepper motors with recorded G-code. This function is widely applied in RBI machine, Conveyor etc.

The stepper driver board controller in kit is a high performance microstepping driver adopting of 32-bit DSP, pure sine wave subdivision technology. With this technology and the self-adjustment technology (self-adjust current control parameters) for different motors, the drive motors can run with less noise, lower heating, smoother movement and have better performances at higher speed than most of the drivers in the market.

High performance, cost-effective.
Parallel port communication.

Automatic G-code recording for motor control.

Manual G-code programming for motor control without computer.

Equipped with the display panel and control pad for manually control the stepper motor.

Automatically finish Tool-settings on X, Y, Z Axis via the control pad, without the support of the computer.

Automatic circuit protections function when the wirings between the breakout board and microstep drivers are incorrect.

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 Mach.

2 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.

2-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, Tool-Setting, etc.

Compatible with the Mach2, Mach3(Default Software), LinuxCNC(EMC2), KCAM4 CNC Software, etc.

The 5th axis (B axis) on the breakout board can be used as a PWM signal output interface for controlling frequency inverter via software (e.g. Mach3 etc.) to adjust speed of main spindle.
