- Page 1 Kronos Robotics How To Series Super-PID Wiring V2.01 Copyright 2012 Kronos Robotics n this project, you will be shown you step-by-step how to wire your Super-PID up for partial control of your router. www.kronosrobotics.com...
- Page 2 Tools Needed For This Project • Phillips screwdriver • Small Flat head screwdriver (Super-PID Terminals) • Small Phillips screwdriver (G540 Terminals) • Wire cutters/ strippers Other Items Needed For This Project Super-PID • Super-PID Controller • Regulated 5v power supply PowerSupply • Hookup Wire...
- Page 3 Prerequisites See router conversions. You should also download the Super-PID instructions. They can be found here: Instructions Warning The triac and metal heatsink should always be treated as LIVE and dangerous and connected to the AC mains. This is the safest option.
- Page 4 Attach the 5v power supply to the mounting board using double stick tape or mounting screws. Attach the ground wire (green), the white wire (neutral) and the black wire (line) as shown in Figure Figure 1 Super-PID Wiring Kronos Robotics...
- Page 5 Step 2 Attach the Super-PID to the mounting board using double sided tape or mounting screws, as shown in Figure 2. Attach a red wire between the +5v on the power supply and +5v on the Super-PID. Attach a black wire between -5V on the power supply and GND on the Super PID.
- Page 6 Step 3 Attach the first lead on the potentiometer to the P5 terminal on the Super-PID. Attach the center lead on the potentiometer to the POT terminal on the Super-PID. Attach the last lead on the potenti- ometer to the PG terminal on the Super-PID, as shown in Figure 3 Figure 3 Super-PID Wiring Kronos Robotics...
- Page 7 Step 4 Attach a wire between terminal 5 on the G540 and terminal RUN on the Super-PID, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 www.kronosrobotics.com...
- Page 8 Step 5 From the cord going to the router, connect the black lead to the terminal on the Super-PID marked MA. Connect the white lead to the terminal marked MN. From the cord going to the AC power source, connect the white wire to the terminal marked N.
- Page 9 Step 6 - Configure Output Port Open the “Ports and Pins” form and select the Output Signals tab. Change the Output #1 settings to those shown in Figure 6 Figure 6 www.kronosrobotics.com...

- Page 11 Step 8 - Test Power up your CNC and ensure that the software is in active mode (Reset = Green). When you hit the “Spindle CW” button shown in Figure 8, you should see the Super-PID go into run mode.. Hit it again and it will click off. If it does not go back and check your wiring and configuration.
- Page 12 Conclusion In this configuration the Super-PID operates in much the same way as the Relay control does. While this step takes us closer to total control over our router it’s not enough. In the next project I will show you how to use Mach 3 to control the speed of your router. Super-PID Wiring Kronos Robotics...
