exceed 500ma inputs homex the home inputs are required for the machine to be able to detect the ‘home’ position the home input can be configured into two modes, each mode describes what type of switch or sensor is connected if the switch or sensor is activated, it means that it will switch either to ground (0v) or to a voltage, in this case, 24v a switch or sensor that switches to 0 (negative) is called npn, and a switch or sensor that switches to 24v (positive) is called pnp pnp = input should be ‘high’ (24v) to detect the switch/sensor being activated npn = input should be ‘low’ (0v) to detect the switch/sensor being activated please note, that all home inputs are either npn or pnp currently, it is not possible to mix the input types the software expects one type of input to be used and will not work correctly if the jumpers are set differently this mode selection is done via several jumpers each jumper corresponds to an input jumper input jp2 home1 mode npn or pnp jp3 home2 mode npn or pnp jp4 home3 mode npn or pnp jp5 home4 mode npn or pnp jp6 home5 mode npn or pnp jp7 home6 mode npn or pnp the image below shows how the input operates switching in npn mode when in npn mode the input needs to switch to ground to be activated switching in pnp mode when in pnp mode, the inputs need to switch to +24v to activate normally open versus normally close as described above, our hardware supports npn and pnp another important condition is using normally open (no) or normally closed (nc) sensors this no or nc indicates whether the output is active (nc) or non active (no) when the sensor is not activated the nc sensor has an extra benefit; if, for any reason, the cable to the sensor is cut, it will automatically report the sensor's activation since this would indicate that the sensor is activated if a no sensor is used, the machine will try to home without ever detecting that sensor, potentially causing damage to the machine of course, our software needs to know what the input is supposed to be when it is not activated therefore, this can be configured in our software, a button will configure the home inputs to the correct settings based on their value when the sensor is not activated, preventing you from having to think about what it is supposed to be drvalm input the drvalm can be used to report problems with the motor driver each connector has an alarm input available the alarm inputs pins of all axes are wired together it is assumed that the alarm output of the drives are open collector outputs so that the alarm outputs of all drives can be coupled together so, each output can pull the alarm input low to generate an alarm please check that the motor driver alarm output is configured to be ‘open’ if not active the image below shows such a setup below is image that shows the input circuit of the alarm input the alarm input is active if the drvalm+ input is pulled low make sure you test the alarm input before starting to use it run/pause inputs the run and pause inputs can be used to start or stop a job externally however, they are also used when you want to connect a wired external pendant if the software is in jogwheel modus these inputs are used for zeroing the position (start) or selecting the axis (pause) using the pause or run input is simply connecting a push button to it, with one side connected to ground and the other to the input of the board in the image below is a schematic of each digital input see also chapter “9 connecting and setting up a wired handwheel” for more info on how to use these inputs as part of a wired pendant the pause and run inputs have a maximum input level of 5v and will be damaged if 24v is applied aux inx inputs the auxiliary inputs are digital inputs, used to retrieve the status of an external signal, for example a switch each input has a pull down, this means that when no signal is connector the board will see a ‘low’ signal connecting an input to 24v will cause the board to detect an ‘high’ signal in the image below, you see the input circuit for each aux input the image below shows how to connect a switch to an aux input anx inputs the analog inputs can have several functions reading external values for control controlling the feedrate selecting an axis or multiplier in a wired pendant application the analog inputs have an input range of 0 3 3v, applying voltages that exceed this voltage will damage the inputs and even lead to the failure of the controller for this application, the 3 3v (avdd) is made available on pin #20 of the respective connector do not use this voltage for other applications! if you want to test this input, a simple 10k potentiometer can be used as shown in the image below using this potentiometer to control the feedrate can be changed in the application setup it should be indicated that an analogue input is used for more info about reading the input please have a look at the manual about writing macros and reading i/o’s for more info about how to use the analog inputs for a wired pendant have a look at chapter “9 connecting and setting up a wired handwheel” hw a/hw b inputs the hw a/hw b inputs can be used to connect a handwheel for exactly setting the position of an axis or changing the feed rate the position of the axis can only be changed if the software is in the jogwheel mode the image below shows how a pendant can be connected to these inputs see also chapter “9 connecting and setting up a wired handwheel” for more info how to use these inputs as part of a wired pendant in the image below is a schematic of each digital input the hw a/hw b inputs have a maximum input level of 5v and will be damaged if 24v is applied e stop input the e stop input is used for indicating an emergency below the input circuit is shown for the e stop input for using e stop, the input signal needs to switch to 24v, in the image below this is shown exterr input the ext error input can be used for indicating any external error has occurred the behavior of this input can be indicated in the setup of the application below the input circuit is shown for the ext error input for using exterr, the input signal needs to switch to 24v, in the image below this is shown probe input the probe input has a dual use it can be used for the tool measurement, measuring the height of a tool, or it can be used for probing an object if both tools are used, they can be connected together to this input however, make sure that they both use the same kind of output signal below the input circuit is shown for the probe input for using probe, the input signal needs to switch to 24v, in the image below this is shown spindlex input the spindlex input can be used to connect an external sensor that indicates the rotation of the spindle or used in case of tapping when used in a lathe application the spindlex has a maximum input level of 5v and will be damaged if 24v is applied below the input circuit is shown for the spindlex input to use the spindlex the input signal needs to switch to ground to be active the image below shows this the spindlex input has a maximum input level of 5v and will be damaged if 24v is applied outputs stepx/dirx/enablex outputs these outputs can control up to 6 axes simultaneously each output has an output level of 5v and can sink or source around 15ma per output the maximum step frequency is 400khz not all motor drivers are capable of supporting step frequencies up to 400khz if you notice that the motors are not moving at all or show erratic movement, try to lower this frequency also, consult your motor driver datasheet for the supported frequency please note, the enablex output is simultaneously switched for all axis at the same time depending on how the e stop hardware behavior is configured these outputs can be switched off in case of an e stop condition each axis output has two enable outputs, these signals are used to enable the motor driver the difference between these two signals is that one signal is a digital +5v signal, and the other is an open collector docid\ qf6pe5wfovvy6cnd0lxt signal this helps in connecting the controller to different kinds of drives the enable signal with an open collector output is able to switch higher voltages compared to the +5v output in the image below such an output is shown an open collector output means it switches the connected wire to gnd this enables the user to switch devices that do not need the same voltage rating as the controller sysready output the sysready indicates that the system is active this output is an open collector docid\ qf6pe5wfovvy6cnd0lxt output chargepump output the chargepump signal is a signal that is toggled around 10hz with a duty cycle of about 50% it is internally used for resetting a watchdog system that checks that the board is still alive; that circuit will generate the sysready signal the absence of this signal shows that the controller is no longer responsive also, the sysready output will deactivate this output is an open collector docid\ qf6pe5wfovvy6cnd0lxt output please note, the frequency of this signal can vary if the controller is moving axis in that case, the frequency can go down to about 7 3 hz the use of this signal is not recommended, instead, we integrated a hardware solution which is the sysready signal this solution uses the charge pump signal so will also indicate when the controller is active however, it is not influenced by the activity of the controller since the sysready signal is generated in hardware instead of software it is safe to use that signal to indicate that the system is operational so even if the board somehow would stop working the circuitry will switch off this output toolon output the toolon output is used to activate the tool that is used in the application this output is an open collector docid\ qf6pe5wfovvy6cnd0lxt output depending on the spindle driver, it might be necessary to use a relay to switch the tool on it is advisable to use a solid state relay to switch on heavy loads like a spindle motor because this will also optically isolate this input again external interference signals tooldir output the tooldir output is used to control the direction of the associated tool this works for regular spindles and stepper spindles these outputs are open collector docid\ qf6pe5wfovvy6cnd0lxt outputs and therefore require special attention when connecting depending on the spindle driver, it might be necessary to use a relay to switch the tool direction cool1/cool2 outputs the coolx output is an output to control the flow of any coolants that might be used these outputs are open collector docid\ qf6pe5wfovvy6cnd0lxt outputs if a large load is switched it is advisable to use a (solid state) relay here as described in the toolon section pwmx outputs the pwm outputs are open collector docid\ qf6pe5wfovvy6cnd0lxt outputs an open collector output means it switches the connected wire to gnd this enables the user to switch devices that do not need the same voltage rating as the controller by default, the pwm uses a frequency of 5khz, but this can be set in the software by setting the system docid\ s1l78fd4wqkz4xhehcjlb be advised that pwm1 and pwm2 are also used by the pwm volt1 and pwm volt2 respectively this means that these pwm outputs can not be addressed separately if these are in use pwm volt outputs the cnc760 controller contains two 0 10v outputs, these outputs are combined with one pwm output each so, this output can only have one kind of signal there are 2 jumpers that can be used to configure the behavior of this output output signal type the top jumper selects what signal is present on the output either 0 10v (default) or the standard pwm signal these outputs use the existing pwm outputs of the board if the pwm output is selected this output will be an open collector docid\ qf6pe5wfovvy6cnd0lxt output output enable behavior the bottom jumper selects whether the output is enabled when the ‘system ready’ is available, the default behavior, or that it is controlled via the auxo1 output please note that if the auxox is used, that output can not be used for other applications aux outx outputs these outputs are generic outputs that can be used for any application this output is an open collector output some aux outputs may have duplicate functions, these are described in the table below if these conditions are met, the respective aux output is unable to be used to control something else separately aux output condition alternate function 1 jp15 is set to
