Input Controller Wires This unit supports 100v or 240v input systems (normally a single phase supply). If you have a three phase system then you need to order the special three phase cable for this machine and add a three phase input box. These are available separately (see below).
Example Controller Wiring Diagrams This design has 4 wires in to the three control lines and one power input.
CP-X1 - These wires are connected to the x axis and y axis controls
CP-X2 - These wires are connected to the x axis and z axis controls
CP-X3 - These wires are connected to the y axis and z axis controls
B+ - This wire is connected to the power supply
Example Front of User Interface Panel This shows an example of the front of the user interface panel, you can see how the control wires are connected up and what buttons and controls are available.
General Notes/Information
- IMPORTANT - Before using this machine you need to ensure the CPU is turned on. This will power the digital speed controller.
- For more information see the users guide supplied with the machine. This can be downloaded from our support section.
- You will need to use a potentiometer to set the speed of the X and Y axis to your requirements. The variable speed control is too sensitive to touch and does not have a mechanical limit switch, therefore you will need to use a "proportional" variable resistor to limit the speeds.
- We suggest you use variable resistors from 100% to 10% maximum resistance. Note the "numbers" along the sides of the knob are not the resistance values but the percentage of maximum resistance for the part number.
- All the controller wires have two clips on them at each end to keep them in place, these should be removed so they can easily be connected to the machine.
- The inside of the control box should be covered when not in use to reduce the risk of the electronics being damaged by dust or water.
- The height of the control box can be adjusted, this should be high enough to prevent fingers from touching the controls, and low enough so it is a comfortable distance away from the user.
- The black cable supplied with the controller should be used to connect it to your machine.
- We supply the controller with the cable connected directly to the machine. This allows the controller to control the power
