Max32 is a USB stepper controller indexer. It was designed to
be used by
programs running under MS Windows. Its frequency output remains consistent
regardless of OS timing. Commands
are sent from a PC USB port to Max32. Max32 will
send step, direction and enable signals to 4 motor driver boards.
E-stop and limit switch signals are brought into Max32 to
stop motion signals. PC software can poll Max32 for e-stop,
limit and auxiliary digital input conditions. The auxiliary
digital outputs (for relays) and analog signals can be set by the
PC. For a complete CNC system you must supply a PC and 4 Stepper
Motor S/D Drivers to interface with the motors. Max32 will
not connect directly to the motors.
