We recommend a transformer or power
supply rating of 100VA to 160VA, depen-
ding on the employed motors and the volta-
ge level of the supply. We would be happy
to give you an advice. To follow the EMC
regulations an adequate supply filter has to
be used in addition the transformer used in
your application.
Attention:
When decelerating a stepper motor acts as a generator. This causes the supply
voltage to increase. The voltage should not exceed 45V= to avoid damaging the
drivers. This danger is more likely with higher supply voltages.
2.5 X10 – Control signals
All control signals are feed in by the 25-pin female D-Sub type connector. The signals are
switched to ground and are designed in a way that also weak ports on modern computers
are able to drive them.
The pin out is...
Pin 1
Relay 1, e.g. main spindle on/off
Pin 2
Direction motor X
Pin 3
Clock motor X
Pin 4
Direction motor Y
Pin 5
Clock motor Y
Pin 6
Direction motor Z
Pin 7
Clock motor Z
Pin 8
Direction motor 4 (option) or relay 2
Pin 9
Clock motor 4 (option) or relay 3
Pin 10-13 Forwarded inputs, e.g. for signals from limit and
reference switches
Pin 14
PWM signal or relay 2, e.g. coolant pump on/off
Pin 15
Output for ready signal or signal from limit
or reference switches
Pin 16
Toggle signal or relay 3, e.g. chuck for tool changer
Pin 17
Current reduction input (active low), toggle or PWM
signal
Pin 18-25 Signal ground (0V, GND)
Together with our CNC control software
PC-NC CNC-Control, WinPCNC
and
X4Step
there are no compatibility problems driving a 3 or 4 axes mechanic. Of course any other
software with pulse and direction output signals can be used.
