1.1 Superior Capability in Technology and Productivity

The MACHINEMATE CNC Family provides you with innovative high performance technology
to handle the ever-increasing demands of today’s automation industry. The modern and
fully open CNC architecture using a single powerful CPU gives you leading edge CNC
performance and flexibility.

This specification provides the general information about the Hardware of the
MACHINEMATE CNC family.

1.2 General hardware components

The basic models of MACHINEMATE CNC includes following hardware components:

CNC control unit with:

Motherboard Pentium or Celeron processor
(its performance depends on the order)

Graphics board SVGA

1 or 2 serial interfaces COM1, COM2 (RS232C)

2 PS/2 interfaces Keyboard and mouse

1 parallel interface LPT1 (Centronics)

2 or 4 USB interfaces Peripheral devices (2 USB ports on the L2 & LW or 4

USB ports on the eCNC).

Network interface EtherNet 10/100 interface. Standard on LW. Optional on

L2 & eCNC (MM93).

Hard disk the hard disk uses an IDE interface.

MACHINEMATE CNC installed on the hard disk;

Windows 2000 software installed on the hard disk;

CNC-axes board PCI – board for analog axes interface.

PCI – board for Sercos interface (1 or 2 fiber-optic rings)
with 24 digital inputs and 16 digital outputs on board.

CNC operator’s panel Available in 2 sizes that can be remotely mounted up to

33 Ft (10 meters) from the industrial computer (IPC):
1) 19 X 12.25 inches (483 X 311.5 mm) with full alpha
numeric keypad and 12.1 inch TFT flat screen at 800 X
600 pixels.
This 12.1 inch TFT size is also available with an optional
Touch Screen.
A second option in this 19-inch size is a 15-inch Touch
Screen TFT. This unit does not have a built in keyboard.

2) Same size panel but with 15 inch TFT flat screen at

800 X 600 pixels. There is no alpha numeric keypad on
the panel.

Basic switches & Push buttons for ‘NC-Start’, ‘NC-Stop’, ‘Jog +’ and ‘Jog -‘
pushbuttons are available. (Note: These switches are not mounted
M166 & M167 and wired by MACHINEMATE INC).

Gray/binary code These switches are used for feedrate override and for
switches spindle speed override. (Note: These switches are not
M165 mounted and wired by MACHINEMATE INC).

Machine Tool Builder’s A Machine Tool Builder’s Panel (MTBP) is available.

Panel This panel includes the basic requirements for a machine
tool operator: emergency stop push button, cycle start
and stop push buttons, jog plus and minus push buttons,
feed rate and spindle speed override pots, and a number
of auxiliary push buttons.
There are two versions: 19“ rack mount and slim line.

MTBP – Auxiliary Panel A MTBP Auxiliary Panel is available.

This 19“ panel includes a handwheel (or manual pulse
generator, MPG) and 16 auxiliary push buttons.

Handheld Operator The Handheld Operator Station provides a remote station

Hardware Specification
PAGE 5
Station for the operator. This station includes the basic
requirements for manual operations: a handwheel (or
manual pulse generator, MPG), an axis select rotary
switch, a feed rate multiplier rotary switch, an emergency
stop push button, and two push buttons (typically used
for the axis jogging).

External floppy or CD An external floppy drive or CD reader or CD read/write

can easily be added utilizing the USB ports.

MMMIO PLC The MMMIO (MACHINEMATE Modular Input Output)

components system is the hardware component system for the PLC.
Available are digital and analog input and output
modules. Each interface module is plugged into a module
box and each module box can carry two interface
modules. Stopping brackets and a termination plug are
needed. The connection to the MACHINEMATE is done via
the high speed Superbus using cables that are available
in different lengths.

External Modem An external USB Data Modem is standard on the eCNC.

It is optional on the L2.

Fieldbus Master An optional Fieldbus master is available. The supported

fieldbus technologies are Interbus (MM91), Profibus
slave (MM92), Profibus master (MM97), Can-bus
(MM98), DeviceNet (MM99).
