Installation manual
Version 1
Brief product description
The interface board allows the operation of up to six stepper motor or servo output stages with the Beamicon2
CNC software. A normal network connection with RJ45 cable is used for data transfer from the PC. No LPT port
is required, and the well-known limitations of step frequency and timing problems are a thing of the past. The
board can be adjusted to many different configurations. Depending on the selected configuration, additional
functions such as control of a frequency converter or speed controller, reference switches, up to 9 outputs (24V)
and up to 16 inputs (24V) are available.
All signals are galvanically isolated from the PC, so that a maximum of noise immunity is achieved. All
machine-side signals are designed for 24V level, ensuring robustness and compatibility with industrial sensors.
Ready-made connection cables for BEAST stepper motor power amplifiers, UHU-DC servo controllers and
brushless servo systems (SpeedCube and Sanyo-Denki R-series) are available (not included), so that quick and
error-free wiring is possible.

- Page 5 Benezan Electronics NetBob2 Installation ManualEthernet CNC Hard- and software development Interface Functional description In contrast to conventional breakout boards with LPT interface, which only pass on the signals from the PC and, if necessary, adjust or amplify the signal levels, the Beamicon2 interface board has a powerful 32-bit processor, which can generate step and direction signals in real time independently of the PC.
- Page 6 Benezan Electronics NetBob2 Installation ManualEthernet CNC Hard- and software development Interface Power supply The breakout board can be supplied with an operating voltage of 15 to 36V DC. It is recommended to use a power supply with 24V and 1A to 10A current carrying capacity.
- Page 7 Use at your own risk - Benezan Electronics declines all responsibility. Some drives support setting the polarity of the ENA and ALM signals using PC software. Nevertheless, their use is not safe enough for personal protection.
- Page 8 The breakout board can also be operated together with industrial servos which support a position control mode with step/direction signals, e.g. the Speedcube controllers from Benezan Electronics or the RS1A series from SanyoDenki. These controllers have a separate connection for motor operating voltage and internal supply or have inputs for safe stop.
- Page 9 Attention: For an unrestricted operation of the breakout board at least software version V1.72 is required. You can find this or a newer version on the download page of Benezan Electronics (benezan- electronics.de/downloads) under "Beamicon2 trial version with latest features".
