1. General
The CSMIO/IP-A product was designed for professional customers, who want to equip their machine tool
with an efficient, stable and flexible CNC control system for a reasonable price.
The main designing assumption was working stability – hence the PC connection via Ethernet (its physical
layer is galvanically isolated and protocols we use ensure reliable and fast transmission even in tough
industrial environment). Practically any others interfaces do not provide the continuity and reliability of
transmission on such a high level as the ETHERNET. That is why it is currently the worldwide standard for
high-speed digital communication.
Another important assumption was simplicity of installation. CSMIO/IP-A does not require any external
electronics for proper operation. Inputs/outputs signals are inside optically isolated, filtered, protected
against short circuit, overheating etc. Of course, all I/O signals are adjusted to industry standard 24V. The
device is enclosed in a compact cover, mounted on a DIN-rail, what makes that mechanical and electronic
installation in a control cabinet takes less time and is even simpler.
CSMIO/IP-A product works with Mach3 program because of its low price, popularity and enormous ability
to adapt to specific requirements. To meet customers' needs, who prefer +/- 10V servo drive control
standard, the CSMIO/IP-A was equipped in such an interface, and very fast encoder inputs allow for taking
full advantage of encoders with large number of pulses per rotation, and the same let you to achieve such
a precision and speed, which previously were unavailable in this price sector.
