Note : It is also possible to connect directly the FMod-IPAXESCTRL to one FMod-
IPDCMOT48/1.5 motor control card through a simple Ethernet Cross Cable (not using
the switch). In this case the system will only be able to control one (1) motor/axis.
The scheme underneath is showing the connection diagram of
the FMod-IPAXESCTRL board. The user interacts with the
MMI (Man Machine Interface), e.g. the LCD, the Keypad and
the Trackball; connected to the Axes control card. This card is
connected together with the Motor control cards (FMod-
IPDCMOT48/1.5) to a standard/industrial Ethernet Switch
(available on the market from 30.- USD) and be used in
applications like XYZ-Tables, as an example.
The axes control board and the motor control boards are
connected together to an "Ethernet 10BaseT compliant
Switch", the communication between them is done through
the UDP-IP protocol.
An optional computer (PC, Mac, ...) can be connected to the
same network (to the Ethernet 10BaseT compliant Switch) in
order to configure the parameters of the axes control card
The same Switch used to connect the FMod-IPAXESCTRL and
the FMod-IPDCMOT48/1.5 can be connected to the Internet
network (under an ADSL modem/router or a professional
Router) and therefore the system will become accessible from
everywhere (remote).
