2.2.1 Mk3 AXIS connector
Each connector controls one motor driver. Controller has 9 connectors for axes 1-9. This means 9 axes
which can all be moved at same time.
Axes are usually named like this: Axis 1=X, Axis 2=Y, Axis 3=Z...
On some machines this can be different. For example Foam cutter uses axis names such as Axis 1=A,
Axis 2=Y, Axis 3=U, Axis 4=V. Lathes use Axis 1=Z, Axis 2=X. Configuration of axes, as well as their
naming can be set in File/Settings/Axes.
CONNECTOR PIN DESCRIPTION:
+5V: +5V power. Motor drivers can take power for logic circuit or common anode connection
from the USB controller.
ERR: Error signal from driver to controller.
STEP: Provides a STEP signal of minimum 25 us pulse width or 50% duty cycle at higher
frequencies to the motor driver.
DIR: Provides DIR or DIRECTION signal to the motor driver.
ENABLE: Provides an ENABLE signal for motor drivers. When the ENABLE signal is lost, due to
output command, E-Stop or limit switch activation, motor drivers will deactivate.
A dedicated E-Stop switch connected to the CTRL or INPUT connector can control the
signal. It can also be operated by limit switch activation, software command or on
shutdown of the control software.
This arrangement provides a useful safety feature that can be user-configured to operate
under manual and/or computer control.
GND: Ground connections.
