1. Introduction
1.1. General description
RosettaCNC Board A is an ETHERNET motion controller that manages up to 4 interpolated axes. The ETHERNET port (instead of
USB) ensures fast and secure transmission thanks to the protocol and at the e galvanic insulation with the PC connection.
Does not require the use of external electronic parts or protectors. The power supply is integrated and protected, The inputs
and outputs are equipped with opto-insulator that guarantee, together with the metal container, high resistance to
electromagnetic interference. The outputs are protected from short circuits and allow you to directly connect inductive loads
(relays or solenoid valves), without having to add external components.
The control outputs of STEP/DIR type are generated by a powerful FPGA That allows to reach operating frequencies of 300KHz
(with stable duty cycle at 50%) making it possible to use both step-by-step drives and servo drives.
Rosetta CNC Board commands the axes using a look ahead that allows you to achieve high interpolation speeds.
The product can possibly be equipped with a handwheel, supplied already complete with connector, alternatively, it makes
available inputs for the jog connection joystick type and other useful control signals.
Rosetta CNC Board is equipped with removable spring connectors to allow quick wiring, highly reliable and free to vibrations.
1.2. Symbols used in the manual

2. Safety
RosettaCNC Board it's powered in low voltage, 24VDC, the I/O line are opto-insulated and the PC connection is galvanically
isolated, therefore the device is not a direct threat to the health and life of the user.
The design of a complete control system (electric panel), should draw attention to different aspects of, so that the whole
machine system does not become a danger during the use.
It's good practice to always use NC contacts for the limit switches and for the emergency button So that a wiring error or a wire
disconnection always lead to machine shutdown.
Special attention must be paid to the emergency stop circuit: The control system must be designed in such a way the that
when you press the button for emergency stop, the machine immediately interrupts the movement of all axes. You should also
consider the possibility of failure of particular components of the system, as the main controller, or the axes control units.
The safety of the machine is never the responsibility of the RosettaCNC
Board Controller
Here are two examples of connection. The first uses the Safe Torque Off (STO) input Present in drives.
The second uses a safety device to control the chain of emergency signals.
Both are only example schemes and each installer must then design its own
scheme suitable for the machine according to the regulations.
