You mean to attach it directly to the pins on SS board with the appropriate connector? I just read thru the SS manual again, here's some specs:
6 axes of coordinated movement plus a spindle.
Spindle control may be Step & Direction, PWM, or discrete on/off.
Maximum Step Frequency is 4 MHz
I/O: Port 1: 12 Outputs and 5 Inputs
Port 2: 12 Outputs and 5 Inputs -or- 4 Outputs and 13 Inputs
Port 3: 6 Inputs (3 differential and 3 single-ended)
Grand Total: 24 Outputs and 16 inputs, or 16 outputs and 24 inputs, depending upon
configuration.
All outputs are 5V CMOS logic.
Port 2 pins 2-9 have CMOS thresholds (input and output).
All other inputs are TTL, except for 3 of them that are differential and are intended to be used with an
encoder. Except for Port 2 pins 2-9 and the differential inputs, all other inputs are Schmitt Triggers.
All outputs capable of sinking or sourcing 32 mA.
32mA isn't a whole lot for controlling some relays, so I may have to do something there. Easy enough though.
Thanks for the help, makes alot more sense now...
I sent an email to
www.warp9td.com asking about availability (I got on the waiting list a week or two ago just incase). If they are still 4 weeks out, do you know if they have any dealers that sell their products for them that may have some in stock?
