Connecting The Cabling - Proxxon FF 500 CNC Commissioning Manual

7.2. Connecting the cabling

How to connect the devices to each other is illustrated in the schematic sketch.
Caution!
Connect the mains cable to the CNC control MCS and to your computer at the very
last and make sure the mains switch at the rear of the CNC control is set to "O",
meaning switched off! Do not in any case switch on any electrical device, be it the
computer, the CNC control, or the machine itself before the connection of the cables
is completed!
The connection
sockets on the CNC
control are all located
at the rear of
housing:
The connection cable
of the three stepping
motors is inserted in
the provided sockets of
the CNC control. They
are identified
accordingly as "X", "Y"
and "Z" of
respective CNC axes.
For your information:
The "implied" X axis is
horizontal in
longitudinal direction of
the cross table, the Y
axis is also horizontal
but at right angles to
that, and the Z axis
describes the vertical
traversing of the milling head at the column.
The mains cable of the milling machine is inserted in the provided socket at the rear
of the CNC control. The spindle motor is switched on and off by the CNC programs.
Please leave the insertion of the mains plug of the computer and the CNC control in
the mains socket outlet for the very last.
The communications cable included in the delivery is used to connect the CNC
control to the control computer. It is inserted in the appropriate socket at the control
and connected to a serial interface at the computer.
These are often called "serial" or "COM" and usually have 9 pins. If the connection at
your computer has 25 pins instead of 9, you will need a corresponding adapter.
