POWER TERMINALS AND CONFIGURATION JUMPERS Regulated +5VDC@ 1A is required to power this board. WARNING Check the polarity and voltage of the external power source and connect the 5VDC and GND. Overvoltage or reverse-polarity power applied to these terminals can cause damage to the board, and/or the power source.
External Enable Pin. The card must be provided with a 5VDC signal to enable operation. This feature has been added to externally control the status of the outputs. An external switch or a Safety Charge Pump can be added to provide the enabling signal. When the enable signal is not present, output signals send high impedance state.
Safety Charge Pump “SCHP”. (Pin 17). This board takes advantage of Mach ability to send a specific frequency through one of the pins of the parallel port when the program is in control of the system. CNC machinery can be very dangerous, and you could have a risk of the machine doing something different that what you intend the machine to do if the program loses control of your system.
Selecting the SCHP operation mode The Safety Charge Pump can be activated or deactivated depending on the jumper position 1-2: SCHP OFF 2-3: SCHP ON Note: When the Safety Charge Pump is activated, the EN terminal is active and a valid SCHP signal is present, pin 17 will go high.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL This function lets you control your spindle with PWM signal. It converts the PWM signal into an analog (0-10VDC). This function can also be used on many DC motor controllers by replacing the potentiometer that controls the speed. Requirements: It requires a power supply external +12VDC@ 30mA for the analog output WARNING: To keep the output signals optoisolated, these must not have...

Relay 1 and 2 They can be used to control the VFD. The relay specifications are shown in this table. ELECTROMECHANICAL RELAYS SPECIFICACTIONS Maximun Current (AC) 7A@240VAC; 10A@125VAC Maximun Current (DC) 15A@524VDC; 10A@28VDC Electromechanical Relays Specifications Replacing a Potentiometer: This circuit can be used to replace a potentiometer of DC moto. These speed controller circuits are very commonly used by SIEG, KB Electronics, and many other oriental machines.
Electromechanical relays. (Pin_1 or Pin_17) This RELAY is activated with the PIN_1 or PIN_17, set jumper as sample in the image. PIN_1 PIN_17 Mechanical relays are very flexible because they can be used for AC or DC and come with NO and NC (Normally Open and Normally Closed) positions. The relay specifications are shown in the below table.
