C11G- MULTIFUNTCION CNC BOARD    

Rev. 8.2 

User manual Rev. 2 

 

1. Overview 

This  card  has  been  designed  to  provide  a  flexible  interface  and  functions  to  your 
computer projects, by using the parallel port control software. This board comes as  a 
response  to  many  customers  that  have  been  asking  for  a  faster  way  to  connect 
devices and reduce the possibility of wiring errors. 

 

2. Features 

 

• 

IEEE 1284 Standard compatible. 

Includes  the  circuitry  recommended 
by  the IEEE  1284  Level  1  standards 
for 

bidirectional 

parallel 

communications  between  personal 
computers and peripherals

 

 

• 

PULL-UP 

or 

PULL-DOWN 

selection for inputs. 

 
 
 
Includes  jumpers  to  select  the  best 
input 

configuration 

for 

your 

application. 

 

 

 

Buffered 

inputs 

and 

outputs. 

Outputs are buffered through the use 
of  high  speed  and  high  current 
buffers  allowing  the  card  to  output 
the  signals  without  using  the  power 
from the parallel port. It can take the 
+3.3 or +5vdc signal from the parallel 

port  and  deliver  solid  +5vdc  at  24 
milliamps. 

 
 

 

Microcontroller based SCHP

. 

 

This 

board 

comes 

with 

microcontroller 

that 

allows 

the 

implementation 

of 

complex 

algorithm for sampling and analyzing 
the SCHP signal. 

 

Built-in Variable Speed Control. 

    It  has  an  optoisolated  analog  0- 

10VDC output that will convert a step 
signal  into  an  analog  signal  that  can 
be  used  to  command  a  commercial 
VFD.  This  analog  can  be  adjusted 
using on-board potentiometer, so this 
board  can  be  adjusted  to  other 
voltages. 

 

Two 

Electromechanical 

Relays 

with NO and NC positions. 

     Mechanical  relays  are  very  flexible 

because they can be used for AC or 
DC  and  come  with  NO  and  NC
