Network
The board needs to be connected via a CAT5 or CAT5E cross cable. We advise using properly shielded SF/UTP network cables. The default IP address is 172.22.2.100.
Location of the Network connector on the controller
﻿
Make sure that the PC the board is connected to is correctly set up and has the correct IP address, and there is no IP address conflict.
USB
The USB port on the iCNC600 is used just for updating the firmware, operating the controller through USB is not possible. For instructions on how to upgrade the firmware, follow the instructions on the Firmware upgrade﻿ page.
Location of the USB connector on the controller
﻿
AX1 - AX6
These connectors contain all signals related to connecting drives.
The tables below are generalized for each of the axis connectors, for Axis 1 replace the occurrences of x for 1 (E.G. ENABLEx+ becomes ENABLE1+)
