I ) Architecture générale

In the left the hardware of Cnc controler is just interface between Computer and machine ( no software )

When computer send impulsion to steppers motor drivers of CNC, the communication between computer can use

• parallele port : there are limit to use computer with // port to control CNC, the fréquency can’t be very high (maxi 35khz)
  there latence for step signal between CPU and // port.
  A a lot of computer don’t have // port now
• Sérial or usb port card : more performance than // port because have processor manage step but there électronic card are a little expensive and use special software, need use the software of the card.

In the right the Cnc controler have all hardware and software to manage machine with autonomy
The computer is to send the machining file ( Gcode ) in memory of CNC controler and after computer can be unplug.
Like controler of big professional CNC in industry.

II ) Electronic control with smoothieboard

For save SD-Card need use Win32DiskImage if you have windows OS

I ) Présentation

Les contrôleur Syntec 6MA sont des contrôleur 3Axes et les Syntec 6MB sont des contrôleur 4Axes

Le nouveau contrôleur 6MD-H permet de piloter les servo moteurs Yaskawa avec une connection série USB.

Controleur Syntec 60WE

Parmi les avantages de ce controleur il y a le protocole EtherCat et le système Build-in CAD/CAM
