Beamicon2 Breakout Board 

 

Interface board for 

CNC control up to  

4 axes via Ethernet 

 

Installation manual 

Version 1 

 

 
Brief product description 

The interface board allows the operation of up to four stepper motor or servo output stages with the Beamicon2 CNC software.  A 
normal network connection with RJ45 cable is used for data transfer from the PC. No LPT port is required, and the well-known 
limitations  of  step  frequency  and  timing  problems  are  a  thing  of  the  past.  The  board  can  be  adjusted  to  many  different 
configurations. Depending on the selected configuration, additional functions  such as control of a  frequency converter or speed 
controller, reference switches, up to 2 relay outputs and an output for a holding brake are available. 

All signals are galvanically isolated from the PC, so that a maximum of noise immunity is achieved. All machine-side signals 

are  designed  for  24V  level,  ensuring  robustness  and  compatibility  with  industrial  sensors.  Ready-made  connection  cables  for 
BEAST  stepper  motor  power  amplifiers,  UHU-DC  servo  controllers  and  brushless  servo  systems  (BLAST,  SpeedCube  and 
Sanyo-Denki R-series) are available (not included), so that quick and error-free wiring is possible.
