Performance parameter of the DM500

1) Max. 4 Axis;2-4 Axis linear interpolation,any 2 axis circular interpolation;2) 7 opto isolated digital outputs,8 opto isolated digital inputs;3) Support every Input and output port definition by users.4) The controller need 2 power supply,one power supply is for system power,one is for input and output ports power.Both input power is 24V,2A.5) Open-collector output, Max. output current is 500mA,can power the relay directly;6) Differential Pulse and direction output signal,Max. 500Khz per axis;7) Spindle Control: 3 I/O ports control 8 different speeds(3 lines 8 speeds),1 I/O control the Start/Stop;8) The System Support standard G-code.Also Support the popular CAD/CAM software,such as ArtCam,-MasterCam,ProE and so on.9) USB flash disk support for G code file input;10) The control system can preview the process path before machining,and it makes the system more steady,working smoothy and precise;11) Acceleration/Deceleration Mode: S curve;12) Support un-limited size file for machining;13) Manual/Automatic machining function;14) Support the operation to Start a G code from a specific line;15) Support for “Power Cut” recovery. Data is automatically saved;16) Support time-lock function;17) Support 4 kinds operation rights:visitor,operator,admin,super admin;

The front panel consists of 23 user keys and the 3.5’’ (480*320 ) LCD.

Explanation of Abbreviations

When operating the DM500 Controller, the users will come across some English abbreviations. Here a list with explanationsFRO: Feed Rate Override SRO: Spindle Rate OverrideSRJ: Jog Speed SettingF: Feed rate, unit is mm/minS: Spindle Speed, unit rev/min. X: The coordinate code of the X axis.Y: The coordinate code of the Y axis.Z: The coordinate code of the Z axis.A: The coordinate code of the A axisBUSY: The system is busy. You still can adjust FRO and SROREADY: READY mode, any operation can be doneRESET: Reset mode, controller is in “OFF” mode, no operation can be performedCONT: Continuous mode, each axis can be manually jogged with the arrow keysStep :Manual Step Mode，each axis can be jogged in defined stepsMPG: MPG mode. Operate the machine with the MPG (Manual Pulse Generator)AUTO: Run G code. Auto is showing when file is processing

Notes and Warnings

Keep away from exposure to moisture or water. This product contains sophisticated electronics and must not get wet.Wiring warning: the IO input terminal of this controller supports equipment with source power (such as Inductive Proximity Switch ). When using this kind of equipment, pay attention to the polarity. Avoid the +terminal to be connect with GND. This controllers has analog output for spindle control (0-10V). Please avoid this terminal to ever connect with GND as damage to the controller may occur.Operation warning. Please observe all security measures when operating the machine. The ESTOP must be connected and properly labelled. In case of a problem, press the E-stop at once to avoid damage to humans, animals and the equipment.High voltage danger. The CR8-500 is connected to18-32V DC. Obey and follow the electricity safety rules of your country when connecting this equipment.

Notice:1. The users should prepare two power supply switch for each controller.One is for the controller system,one is for the Inputs and Output ports. 2. 24V GND is the power supply for the controller,COM+ and COM- is the common terminal for Input and Output ports.3. The Low voltage for input signal is effective.By default it is the NPN switch. 4. The pulse and direction signal is differential output.
