Optional Components for DSPMC System
Most CNC applications will only require the base unit DSPMC 7762S. However, the 7762M version is also available if your application requires the use of analog inputs. Advanced and production applications can also benefit from these add-ons:
DSPMC-MACRO[1]: This software feature allows the user to write custom programs (in vb/BASIC language)which can be downloaded to the controller for fast execution. Advantages of DSPMC-Macro Include:
- Real-time program execution
- Ultra-fast I/O manipulation
- Extends Mach3/Mach4 Functionality
- Standalone Operation (No PC Control)
DSPMC-SNT[1]: This software feature is a specialized tool for EDM Machines. It allows the DSPMC to read an analog input at an ultra-fast scan rate and activate a digital output at the moment the voltage reading goes above or below a configured threshold. This feature is available only on the DSPMC 7762M version as analog inputs are required.
7737 Board: The pn7737 Differential Step/Direction and Encoder Board allows access to the Step/Direction and more Encoder channels and allows a simple plug-and-play setup (with any standard RJ45/Ethernet cable) when used in tandem with a Drive Interface Board (EPx-DIB) for Maxsine AC Servo Drives.
7535 Board: The I/O Termination board (7535P or 7535N) provides additional optically isolated digital I/O. Each board has 16 input terminals and 8 output terminals. All I/O terminals are clearly marked for quick and easy installation.
7711 Board: This board allows access to connections located on DB25 ports of the DSPMC via screw terminals.
7729 Board: The pn7729 EtherCAT Adapter Board is an extension to the DSPMC that is designed as a solution for EtherCAT capabilities with Mach3 and Mach4. EtherCAT greatly simplifies wiring Servo Drives to the motion controller while maintaining command and feedback signal integrity.
