FMod-IPAXESCTRL User Manual v.1.5
2. Overview
The FMod-AXESCTRL is a board used to control a maximum of 3 DC-
motorized axes (card FMod-IPDCMOT or FMod-IPECMOT). The main
advantage of this card is its communication protocol (Ethernet: TCP/IP-
HTTP) which allows it to be connected to a standard Ethernet network. In
addition, the board follows the IEEE 802.3af standard which allows it to be
powered through the Ethernet cable (PoE-Powered Device).
The FMod-IPAXESCTRL board works without the use of a computer (PC
or Mac). It communicates independently with the selected FMod-IPxxMOT
devices (motor control cards) through the Ethernet network. It can also be
easily configured with any standard web-browser, using its internal web-
pages (http server onboard).
A (4x20char) LCD can be connected in order to locally display information,
and a trackball + keyboard are the available inputs to handle the axes.
This diagram shows all peripherals that can be connected to the board.

FMod-IPAXESCTRL User Manual v.1.5
Connection architecture (Ethernet)
The figure below shows the connection diagram of the FMod-IPAXESCTRL
board. The user interacts with the MMI (Man Machine Interface), e.g. the
LCD, the Keypad and the Trackball, which are connected to the Axes
control card. This card is connected together with the Motor control card
(FMod-IPDCMOT48/1.5) to a standard/industrial Ethernet Switch (available
on the market from 30.- USD) and is used in applications such as XYZ-
Tables.
The axes control board and the motor control boards are
connected together to an “Ethernet 10BaseT compliant Switch”.
The communication between them is done through the UDP-IP
protocol.
An optional computer (PC, Mac, …) can be connected to the same
network (to the Ethernet 10BaseT compliant Switch) in order to
configure the parameters of the axes control card
The same Switch used to connect the FMod-IPAXESCTRL and the
FMod-IPDCMOT48/1.5 can be connected to the Internet network
(under an ADSL modem/router or a professional Router) and
therefore make the system accessible from anywhere (remote).
Note : It is also possible to connect the FMod-IPAXESCTRL directly to an FMod-
IPxxMOT motor control card through a simple Ethernet Cross Cable (not using
the switch). In this case, the system will only be able to control one (1)
motor/axis.

3. Quick start
This section is intended to help users to quickly plug the module into their
system and establish a connection between the computer used for the initial
configuration and the card. Detailed information about hardware and
software can be found further in this document.
You can find the board factory communication settings on the label that is
found on the board and on the box.
The MAC Address is the 48bits unique identifier on Ethernet networks. The
IP Address can be modified. The complete procedure is described further in
this manual.
Note: If the module has already been configured and the IP address has been
changed to an unknown value, you can retrieve an SOS IP address (on label) by
pressing the “SOS button” when the card is operating normally.

This device is not intended to be used in a medical, life-support or space product. Any failure
of this device that may cause serious consequences should be prevented by implementation
