 1. Brief Description of the EC300 Motion Controller:
For firstly of all we thank you for your interesting in our product and for reading this user’s guide.
The EC300 is a high-performace external motion controller for Mach 3 software, with ethernet interface,-
supporting standard MPG and Digital Dream MPG.The device can communicate with a connection to a control
computer’s network.The network connection can be built with direct connection or via router/Swith devices.
The computer connects to the EC300 via a standard Ethernet cable.It’s the best to shiled the communication
Ethernet cable to ignore the interferences.An advantage of the Ethernet compared to a USB is that the cable
length maybe as long as 20 meters.The maximum length for a USB cable is 5 meters,and that is pushing it in a
noisy working environment.Another advantages is that Ethernet uses transformers for coupling the data
signals,which galvanically isolates the computer from the downstream electronics.
The device can be used to control machine tools with stepper or servo motor controls with pulse and direc-
tion interfaces;the controller can output a maximum of 300kHz stepping frequency for each axes and can work
with upto 6-axes.The Controller is 3-6 Axis for user’s options.
This user’s guide describes how to establish connection between the device and controler computer,the
device and stepper/Servo drives and spindle motor,how to setup the LAN network and the device for the
communication.This document also describes the inputs and outputs,the electrical parameters and properties of
the motion controller.It guides the users how to run the device with Mach 3 software,and how to set the parame-
ters in the software.
Here is the brief description for the device:
1) Motion control 3-6 Axis(X,Y,Z,A,B,C) for option,max frequency output 300Khz/Axis;
2) Ethernet Connection with Mach 3 Software;
3) Main power supply 24VDC,Current should higher than 1A;
4) IO Power is 24VDC power supply input,current should higher than 1A. (By the IO power supply,system
already supply the power for IO ports.So no need the external power supply for IO port anymore.);
5) 12 opto-isolated digital input ports,10 opto-isolated digital output ports;
6) 1 analog output port of 0-10V adjustable speed for spindle (can change to PWM output port);
7) ARM motion control chip;
8) Compatible with Standard MPG and also Digital Dream MPG

VSO connects to Speed adjustment which defined by voltage 0-10V.

The relationship Max. Spindle speed and current spindle speed is as below:
VSO(Output Voltage)=10*current spindle speed(S)/Maximum Spindle Speed(Max.S).
For example if we set the Max Speed is 24000,and we need the current spindle speed is 18000,then
VSO=10*18000/24000=7.5V.
The following picture 5-7 is the setting method of Max. speed in Mach3 software.

 6.4 Motor Tuning and Setup
Click Main Menu ‘Config’,select the ‘Motor Tuning’ from its pop-down menu:

Then the screen display as below:

Mach3's Menu -> Config -> Motor Tuning (and Setup).

The Step Pulse and Direction Signal fields are used for a Ethernet Port connection from your computer to
your hardware.
The Steps per Unit, Velocity (Units per Minute) and Acceleration fields are critical for tuning your
motors. The Steps per Unit is determined by your hardware for each axis. The velocity is the maximum
speed you want your axis to move. The acceleration is the maximum acceleration rate your motors should run
at (to prevent stalling or missed steps). This needs to be done for each of your axes.
Don’t forget to save the data when you finished the data setting of every axis.For example,you click Z
Axis,and save all the datas into the column,then you must click “SAVE AXIS SETTING”,then the datas can
be saved.

 6.5 Port and Pins Setup
First, make sure you have your Motor Outputs assigned correctly (Menu -> Config -> Ports & Pins as below:

Then go to Right Lables: Motor Outputs and start to configurate as below:

This page is to select the stepper motor control pins. Because Stepper motor control pins address are fixed by
the controller board, So here only need to define the Pin address(No.s),we can define other parameters meter.
To make sure the Z axis to the right direction(Up is ‘+’,down is ‘-’), Z axis’s “Dir low” should be set to”√”.Oth-
er axes’s should be set as the user’s request.

Second, make sure that you have your home switches assigned correctly (Menu -> Config -> Ports & Pins ->
Input Signals). While you could use a single input for your X, Y, Z, and A homes, it is much better to have them
as separate inputs! Our EC500 controller has plenty of inputs available and it allows Mach to home all of your
axes at the same time if you wish (although you typically have your Z axis home after the rest of your axes so
you don't crash your head).

Digital Dream Mach3 Motion Controller Page -19 EC300 User’s Manual
 Here you can configure according to your actual needs the corresponding function. Optional Function include
XYZABC 6axis’s Upper and lower limit、XYZABC 6axis’s HOME point. We set upper limit and home of
XYZA to 3456 corresponding IN3/IN4/IN5/IN6 of the Controller board.
