Description
Works with UCCNC, Mach3 and Mach4 Software
The AXBB-E is a motion controller and breakout board combination with ethernet interface.
The device can communicate with a connection to the control computer’s network card. The
connection can be built with direct connection or via router/switch devices in a local area
network (LAN).
The device can be used to control machine tools with stepper or servo motor controls with
step and direction interfaces.
The controller can output a maximum of 400kHz stepping frequency and can work with
upto 6-axes, however only 8 dedicated step and direction signal pins for 4 axes are wired out
on the board, but the I/Os on the software side are freely configurable to any pins making it
possible to use all 6 axes if required.
The breakout board functionality is done with the onboard high speed optocouplers,
transistors and buffer ICs.
There are 8 non-isolated outputs to be used as step and direction signals.
There are 8 isolated outputs to drive relays, solid state relays, laser controller or anything
else which require isolation.
There are 6 isolated inputs to input signals of sensors, switches and pushbuttons.
There is one safety charge pump circuit with isolated output.
In addition to the breakout signals there is one IDC26 port on the board which has standard
LPT port pinout. An IDC26 to DSUB25 cable (not included) can be used to connect an
additional standard LPT port compatible breakout board to the device to extend the number
of I/Os if required.
The board also has 2 analog input channels which can work with externally connected
potentiometers (not included). The recommended potentiometer full scale resistance is 1k to
10k Ohms.
The analog input channels can be used to control the feedrate override and the spindle speed
override in the software.
There is also one 0-5V or 0-10V (jumper selectable) analog output channel. The analog
signal can be used for example to control the speed of a spindle motor with a variable
frequency drive (VFD).
