GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FIPBB01 is a simple , cheap , buffered nonisolated parallel breakout board . It
supports four output control signal groups to drive four axis C C machine. Each
signal group supports three control signals ( Enable , Direction and Clock ) . Two
output relays could be enabled via DIP switch for additional spindle control. FIPBB01
also supports five dry contact inputs for travel limit switches.
FIPBB01 features
1- Four output control signal groups. labeled X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis, V-Axis.
2- Ena , Dir , Clk control signals are available. For pin assignment and address show table1.
3- LED indicator for each output signal.
4- Two output relays 5V coil / 3A contacts (resistive load).
5- ormally open and normally closed contacts are available.
6- LED indicator for each output relay.
7- Five external inputs (dry contact).
8- LED indicator for each input status.
9- All outputs and inputs are brought out via pin header and screw clamp connector for flexibility.
10- no requirements for external power supply. Card is supplied from USB port.
11- Dimension: 180 x 70 x 18 mm.

2 – Yellow LED labeled DIR is turned off.
3 – Red LED labeled CLK is flicked.
The activated outputs also are highlighted on main window.
5 – To test motor V click the associated buttons for V axis ( up button labeled (V+) and
down button labeled (V-) ).
When up button is Pressed
1 – Green LED labeled ENA is turned on.
2 – Yellow LED labeled DIR is turned on.
3 – Red LED labeled CLK is flicked.
When down button is pressed
1 – Green LED labeled ENA is turned on.
2 – Yellow LED labeled DIR is turned off.
3 – Red LED labeled CLK is flicked.
The activated outputs also are highlighted on main window.
6 – To test the input just apply the input and the state of inputs will be updated continuously
every 100 msec.
The activated inputs appear as highlighted boxes labeled (O ), and the inactivated inputs
appear as dimmed boxes labeled (OFF).
Note
1 - All inputs are active low. I.e. to active an input apply ground (GND) to it .
2 – The status of input LED is opposite to the input state. I.e if the input is activated
(connected to ground), then the LED is turned off and vice versa.
