5 Axis USB Powered Parallal Port Interface CNC Breakout Board

Description The latest upgraded 5 axis breakout board is specially designed for the CNC 2-phase stepper driver controllers. The breakout board uses high-performance three-state bus drivers 74HC244 and Schmitt inverter 74HC14. The input signal is shaped, and filtered to make the drive capability of the output signal more stable and stronger. With this 5 axis breakout board, any 1-5 Microstepper driver controllers can be directly controlled by the PC via the MACH3, EMC2, KCAM4, etc. parallel-control CNC software. [!] Note This board use parallel port to communicate with computer, the usb is used for providing power to the board. This breakout board is just an 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 drive the stepper motors directly. If you need to connect the e-stop and limit switch, you’d better connect the 12-24v power supply to this board.   Features High performance, cost-effective Maximum support 5-axis stepper motor driver controllers Compatible with MACH3, Linux CNC (EMC2) etc. parallel-control CNC software USB power supply and peripherals powered phase are separated to protect computer security All the signals are opto-isolated which can protect your computer security 5-input interface to define the Limit, Emergence-Stop, Cutter alignment etc Wide input voltage range: 12-24V, and with anti-reverse function One relay output control interface, accessed by the spindle motor or the air pump, water pump, etc Compatible with all the 2 phase microstep drivers in the market Output 0-10V analog voltage for inverter to control the spindle speed Shape Pulse and direction signals. Data transfer speeds of up to 10MBit/S Amplification, filtering, enhancement processing drivers enable signal Applications Suitable for a wide range of 2-phase microstep drivers in the market, such as M542, M542H, MA860H, 2MA2278, 2M542, 2M860 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.
