Product Overview

S4000 CNC NUMERICAL CONTROLS

The new CNC Series combines the easy and powerful programming system and user friendly
interface of the S3000 series, with the WINDOWS® operating system, offering more graphic and
multimedia tools, and making the CNC more flexible and adaptable to standard market software
applications.

The S4000 Series, continuing in the Selca tradition, is ideal for milling, high-speed finishing of dies and
molds, and for production machining where execution speed, surface finish and quality are very
important.

The S4000 CNC has a powerful architecture based on double CPU’s: the first one a Pentium class
processor that manages the user interface and external CAD/CAM applications, the second
one with a Motorola processor that manages the machine tool in real-time.This architecture allows
the CNC to perform extremely complex calculations in the very short time needed for high-speed
milling, while making it possible for the operator to simultaneously program the CNC using all the
special features of the Selca software.

The S4000 CNC’s are available both in digital (D) and analog versions.

The models belonging to the S4000 Series are:

• S4060D digital
• S4045PD digital • S4045P analog

2. SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

The CNC system is comprised of the following two

basic modules:
– CENTRAL UNIT
– VIDEO DISPLAY / KEYBOARD UNIT

CENTRAL UNIT
The Central Unit consists of a rear rack mount
chassis available in various widths supporting the
backpanel and the main power supply.
It provides slots for a number of electronic boards
(double Eurocard size) which slide into the rack
and connect to the backpanel.
It also includes a chassis bay for installing various
single Eurocard option boards.
Central Unit
The power supply is provided by a 24V continuous
current.
Optional boards in Eurocard format can be
installed in the rack to increase analog or digital
input and output circuits, or for specific devices.

VIDEO DISPLAY / KEYBOARD UNIT

The Video Display/Keyboard Unit includes:
– PC board with Pentium class processor
– Integrated Floppy Disk and Hard Disk
– Optional CD-ROM for S4000 Series and
standard to S4060D VC4000
– 12-inch TFT colour Display with touch screen TA4000
and pen for touch screen for S4000 Series and VTC4000
15-inch version for S4060D. A 17-inch model is
available for all CNCs belonging to the S4000
Series
– Complete alphanumeric Keyboard
(WINDOWS® type)
– Joystick (Optional)
– Lighted Keyboard (Optional).
The Video Display/Keyboard Unit is connected to
the Central Unit through a fiber optic cable.
The Video Display/Keyboard Unit can be supplied as:
– VTC4000 with 12-inch Video Display Unit

3. VIDEO DISPLAY/KEYBOARD
UNIT OPTIONS

The Video Display/Keyboard Unit is supplied with

the following options:

HARDWARE OPTIONS CDROM

CDROM
Optional drive for CD’s (standard to S4060D).
COM422-485/4000
Hardware module for RS232-RS422 signal
conversion needed for serial connections of over
15 metres.
RAM256
Optional memory expansion module from 128 MB
to 256 MB. (Standard on S4060D). COM422-485/4000
RAM256 is recommended for accelerated graphic
editing simultaneous with CAD program execution
where a high blocks per second speed is required.
RAM256 is necessary for the installation of CAM
applications on the CNC.
JOYSTICK
Optional panel-based pointing device assembled
on the lower part of the keyboard.
The option is available only for VTC4000 and
VTC4000/15 Integrated Video Display Keyboard RAM256
Unit.
LIGHT4000
Lighting option for Keyboard consisting of a
system of LED’s integrated into a special flap that
replaces the standard lift up protection flap.
The option is available only for VTC4000 and
VTC4000/15 Integrated Video Display Keyboard
Unit.
SDU
JOYSTICK
An optional power Shut Down Unit is useful in
cases of frequent or accidental power failure. It
replaces the previous UPS unit. Rebooting is
normally problem free following incorrect CNC
shutdown as a result of sudden power blackout.
Incorrect closure of WINDOWS® can however,
cause the loss of files.
The 1,2 Ah SDU Shut Down Unit (optional) ensures
that all data is saved on the Hard Disk when PC
activity is shut down but does not save programs
opened in Edit mode.
The device is connected in series to the Video SDU
Display/Keyboard Unit’s 24V DC power line.

I/OMIX-A BOARD OPTIONS

The I/OMIX-A board has the following options:

ENCSIN4-A
This optional module provides an optimal optical
scale and sinusoidal encoder interface at an eco-
nomical price. The kit consists of the board with 4
EXENCx5 axes plus four ENC-A counters and OPTION KEYS Board
cable connectors.
The ENCSIN4-A module for encoders and optical
scales with sinusoidal signals has an internal
multiplexer with a x 5 interpolation factor.
Measurement resolution is one twentieth of the
channel pitch, for example, if the linear scale pitch
is 20 microns, resolution will be 1 micron.
The input signal can be 1 V peak-to-peak or 11 µA
peak-to-peak.
The maximum input frequency of the sinusoidal
signals is 25 KHz.
Where better resolution or higher velocity perfor-
mance is required the dedicated optional board
MODENC described in chap. 6 should be used.
The ENC-A device is required for each encoder or
optical scale transducer with sinusoidal signals.
It consists of a special counter and a high-density

The EXENC is a piggyback expansion module that
will allow the addition of up to 4 more axes to the 3
axes already available on the I/OMIX-A board.
Each additional axis requires the ENC-A option.
Filtering circuits limit the maximum input frequency
to 300 KHz (18,000,000 impulses per minute that
the board multiplies by 4).

EXAI/O EXENC

11. REMOTE I/O MODULES

A full range of Remote Input/Output modules are

available for Numerical Controls belonging to the
digital S4000D Series. These modules are con-
nected to the System Central Unit via fiber optic
cable.

The modules are protected inside robust metal
cases compliant with EMC standards, and may be
mounted either directly on a wall or on DIN rails.
The RIO-OP-B module does not comply to this as it
has been designed to be fixed onto the machine’s
command panel.
The modules are provided with service power
supply circuits and contain the devices that control
communication with the fiber optic cable for the
interchange of information with the central unit.

The remote I/O modules are connected to one

another and to the MASTER board via a fiber optic REMOTE I/O MODULES

16. MODULAR MACHINE PANEL

Together with the S4000 Series CNC, we intend to

offer Machine Tool Manufactures a series of fitted
modules to customise the Machine Control Panel.

Various combinations of Control Modules (MC..)

are available. These modules can be mounted
either horizontally or vertically on two optional
frames.

More than one panel, in accordance with the

number of interface signals, can be assembled on
the same machine.

Panels are connected to the CNC with traditional

block terminals or alternatively using the fiber optic
RIO-OP-B I/O module.
If necessary the RIO-OP-E can be used.

Ready-made cables are used to connect Control

Modules to block terminal modules or the VERTICAL PANEL
RIO-OP-B.

All luminous commands have light-emitting diodes

(LED) and therefore do not require the
maintenance needed by traditional bulbs.
