Note: USB connection is not galvanically isolated 7.2. Using Ethernet - direct connection between PoKeys57CNCpro4x25 and computer Network firewalls must allow all traffic on TCP/UDP port 20055 between PoKeys57CNCpro4x25 device and PoKeys-related software running on a computer. Step 0 (prerequisite): install PoKeys setup package (version 4.7.9 or newer)
7.1. Using USB and Ethernet PoKeys57CNCpro4x25 device can be connected to the computer by using both the USB and Ethernet connection. In this case, applications will detect two instances of PoKeys57CNCpro4x25 devices and USB connection will be selected by default by third-party applications.
Note: if PoPendant is connected to the PoKeys57CNCpro4x25 over CAN, PoKeys pins 3-6, 9-11 and 15- 16 will represent the state of the PoPendant signals (axis and step selection switches), as in PoKeys57CNC.
– green for the activated (HIGH state) and white for the unactivated (LOW state). Not all squares that are rendered in this display represent an actual pin on the PoKeys57CNCpro4x25. To change the digital output state, first enable ‘Enable output control’ option, then either left or right click with mouse on the square representing the digital output to activate or deactivate this output.

Fast encoders are disabled so only ultra fast encoder is relevant. At the bottom of the window, there is a command button that can be used to reset the encoders’ values. Note: if PoPendant is connected to the PoKeys57CNCpro4x25 over CAN, encoder 1 will represent the encoder on the PoPendant itself.
8.3. Pulse engine PoKeys57CNCpro4x25 is a hybrid device between a PoKeys57CNC device and a set of PoStep25-256 stepper motor drivers. As such, it contains an external pulse generator on-board, which is driving 4 stepper motor drivers by STEP/DIR signals with maximum pulse frequency of 125 kHz.
Enable backlash compensation: check this option to enable the backlash compensation in PoKeys device. 2. Pulse generator options: PoKeys57CNCpro4x25 contains an external pulse generator on- board, thus external pulse generator option with ‘Extended IO’ must be selected. 4 axes are enabled by default.

PoKeys57CNCpro4x25 user manual v1.00 Security Due to exposed nature of a network device, an authentication mechanism was implemented in network PoKeys that allows three levels of access rights: Full access (default): the device is fully accessible from the network Read-only access: unauthorized users are allowed only to fetch a limited set of data from the device, while an authenticated users can acccess all functions of the device Full lock: unauthorised users can not neither read or write to the device.
Modbus PoKeys57CNCpro4x25 device supports slave (server) operation of Modbus TCP communication protocol. Modbus TCP compatible devices on the network can read the values from the device and set the outputs. To elevate the security, user can define which peripherals are accessible via Modbus TCP.
PoKeys57CNC contains PoIL core that is fully compatible with other PoKeys devices. Read the separate PoIL core documentation for more information. Due to the omission of the 3V lithium backup battery, PoKeys57CNCpro4x25 does not support value retention in case of power failure.
1. Disconnect PoKeys57CNCpro4x25 device from USB and remove power supply. Unscrew and remove the aluminium cover of the device to access the PCB board and the jumper. 2. Locate the jumper between the USB and ETHERNET connector on the PoKeys57CNCpro4x25 device and short the pins as shown below: 3.
Yes, both USB and Ethernet connections can be connected at the same time, but USB connection will have a priority over Ethernet. Windows can not find drivers for PoKeys57CNCpro4x25 device The drivers should automatically be installed by PoKeys setup package. If this is not the case and...
