Connection for 24V spindle motor
The connection for the 24VDC spindle motor is controlled by an IRF024 N-channel MOSFET with a maximum load of
10A. Since the MOSFET is not cooled, the maximum load capacity should not be used. However, this is still quite
sufficient to operate a 775ER type motor. The speed of the spindle motor is controlled by pulse width modulation
(PWM).

Connection for 12V PWM laser module
A PWM-controlled laser module can be connected to the red, 3-pin connector. Please note that either the spindle motor
or a laser module is connected to their respective connectors. Simultaneous connection and operation of spindle motor
and laser module is not supported by the control module.
