19 24V inputs for home switches, While a versatile product for new machines and touchpads, sensors, start/stop switches, retrofits of many kinds, CS808 was designed as a and more direct replacement for Chinese controllers. It is Can be configured to be used with S3CNC, designed, built, tested and supported in the USA.
User's Guide: 1.0 3-17-2020 1: CS808 Overview The Stepper3 LLC CS808 is a general purpose 4 axis stepper and servo CNC controller. Below is an annotated diagram of all of the physical connections that can be made to the controller and features such as LEDs, Ethernet motion control interface, and the product version.
CS808 CNC Motion Controller User's Guide: 1.0 3-17-2020 1.1: 24VDC Input The image above shows the connector location for the 24V power input. There is an LED indicator light that shows that power is present. The minimum required power supply must be at least a 25W 24V power supply (such as Meanwell P/N: RS-25-24).
User's Guide: 1.0 3-17-2020 1.4: Charge Pump Safety Circuit The CS808 features a built-in charge pump safety circuit. This ensures that without connection to the host computer software or when the software is disabled, none of the outputs can be activated. In order to enable the charge pump, you must configure the signal in the S3CNC, Mach4, or Mach3 software as below.
3: Digital Inputs The CS808 consists of 3 digital inputs per axis and 7 general purpose digital inputs for a total of 19 digital inputs. The inputs are sinking (wire one terminal of a switch to ground) or NPN (use NPN sensors).

Depending on the version of the CS808 controller you have, you will either see 4 50 pin Mini D Ribbon cable connectors or a black cover plate in center of the CS808 near the X, Y, Z, and A servo labels.
The table below shows the pinouts for these signals. It also shows the CS808 signals the Yaskawa signals are electrically connected to so that you do not connect anything to the terminal blocks. The X, Y, Z, and A motors all share the same enable and reset outputs.
User's Guide: 1.0 3-17-2020 7: Ether-Mach and S3CNC If you are using S3CNC, please see the S3CNC manual for configuring your I/O. All I/O for the CS808 controller can be setup within the S3CNC configurator. If you are using Mach3 or Mach4, you may reference the Ether-Mach plugin and manuals at ether- mach.com.
