1.1 Introduction
The latest upgraded 5 axis breakout board is specially designed for the CNC single axis 2-phase
stepper driver controller, such as M542, M542H, MA860H, 2M542, 2M982, DM542(A),
DM860(A) etc. single axis stepper driver controller series. With this 5 axis breakout board, any
1-5 single axis stepper driver controllers can be directly controlled by the PC via the MACH3,
EMC2, KCAM4, etc.
1.2 Features
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.
Output 0-10V analog voltage for inverter to control the spindle speed.
