4 Description of Interface Signal for MainBoard
4.1 Interface of Main Power Source CN0
This control system employs single 24 power supply. For a certain
margin, it is suggested to select 24V/2A power. Besides, this system is
compatible with 36V power, that is to say, the 36V power of Motion
driver can directly be connected to this main power port of this system,
but generally it is not suggested to do so.
4.2 Panel Signal-Cable Interface HMI
The panel signal-cable is a pin-to-pin cable, which is included in the factory shipper
bill.
4.3 Udisk Interface
Udisk is a USB-AM interface. The controller may visit the u-disk by this interface.
4.4 PC-USB Interface
PC-USB is a USB-BM interface. The controller may communicate with PC by this port.
4.5 Ethernet Interface
Using this interface, the mainboard can communicate with PC by 10/100MHZ
Ethernet.

externally connected with the relay, the relay coil is broken over
when it works; no influence is produced when it suspends working.
When its work ends or is stopped manually, the relay coil will be
cut off.
5
Wind
General output for blower control. When the blower control is
enabled, this port will output the control signal of the blower,
otherwise it will output other special control signals. When the
blower is connected and its control enabled, the blower switch can
be set separately on each layer. If the relay is connected
externally, the relay coil will be broken over when the blower is on;
the relay coil will be cut off when the blower is off.

24V Power positive output (If the interface of main power source is
powered with 24V power supply, this pin should be 24V; if it is

port; when the stepped-down pedal is held for not less than
100 ms, if the machine lies idle, it can be started for work; if
the machine is in the working state, the work will be
suspended; of the machine is in the suspension, the work will

be restarted, that is to say, the function of the pedal switch is
the same as that of the “Start/Pause” key. If the interval time to
the first stepping-down of the pedal should be less than
100ms when the pedal is stepped down once again, the
second stepping-down of the pedal will be considered invalid
by the mainboard.

the protective signal can be inputted from this pin. This pin can
be enabled and prohibited. This signal is not inquired by the
mainboard if this pin is prohibited; if this pin is enabled, when
the input is high-leveled or this input port is suspended, the
machine will be protected, the work suspended and the laser
closed.

The spacing polarity is optional, that is to say, when the motion axle reaches the
spacing position, it will trigger a low-level signal so as to make the corresponding LED
(under the cover) light; when the motion axle leaves the spacing position, it will trigger a
high-level signal or disconnect the spacing signal so as to make the spacing indicator go
out, but when it leaves the spacing, the corresponding indicator will light and the spacing
polarity become positive. The mistaken setting of spacing polarity will result that the
spacing can’t be detected when the system is reset so as to lead to the collision of axles.
The pin definitions of Z/U axle spacing input CN3 are the same as CN4.

The polarity of directional signal for driver pulse signal can be set. Where a certain
axle is reset, it will move to the opposite direction of machine origin, which means the
polarity of directional signal for this axle is not correct. In such a case, the connection
between this axle and the motor driver can be broken first (otherwise the mainboard can
not be detected to the spacing so as to lead to the collision of this axle), and then such a
polarity can be corrected after this axle is reset completely. Upon the correction, the reset
key can be pressed against to reset the mainboard.
And, the Pulse signal can be falling edge valid or rising edge valid. The default setting
is falling edge valid.
The Pulse signal and the directional signal are all OC outputs. The
Controller must be common anode with the motor driver

When the water protector 1 is enabled, the mainboard will detect

forcibly close the laser to suspend the work in progress and the
system will warn. If the water protector 1 is not enabled, the
mainboard will not detect the input port of water protector 1 and so
the water protector 1 can be unconnected.
Water protection input must be 24V logic level.
