With the all the old electronics removed, it is time to start building up the Basic Mach3 System. First things first, Breakout Board and Charge Pump. I really like the Charge Pump integrated in Mach3, this allows for ALL outs to be tri-stated when the system is not RESET.
The only part we kept in the electronics cabinet was the 3 Phase Power Switch. We ran 220VAC to the switch fused with 40AMP breaker, so we have 110VAC or 220VAC available on the output of the switch. A switcher PS provides 5VCD and 12VDC, an analog PS was used 24VDC, and a transformer is used to generate 90VAC and 200VAC. The solid state relays will be used to switch the pneumatics for the tool changer, enable the oilier and the control the Spindle 200VAC Cooling Fan built into the spindle. A second relay is connected to the charge pump out to enable the 24VDC Z Axis break.
