The Encoder Expansion Board can support standard differential quadrature encoders or BiSS serial protocol encoders. Standard encoders must have output levels compatible with the specifications in the “ENCEXP Specifications” table found in the manual. Standard encoders have “A” and “B” signals to transmit position information. A signal edge must be produced for every count of position change, which may limit the top speed, particularly on high resolution models. Check both the encoder’s maximum frequency and “quadrature encoder input frequency” in the “ENCEXP Specifications” table in the manual to determine the maximum RPM an encoder is capable of before use. More information is available in the Encoder Expansion Board user manual.

USB-BOB has been through a 4 month alpha tester program with excellent results.

The Centroid USB Operator Control Panel Interface Board (aka “USB-BOB”) is a CNC machine tool operator control panel interface board that connects to the CNCPC via a USB port. The Operator Control Panel Interface Board is intended to be an affordable, reliable, alternative to traditional methods of building CNC control operator control consoles/panels. The USB-BOB provides inputs for the most commonly used operator controls in a package that installs quickly with minimal fuss saving on wiring/installation labor and CNC controller inputs. It features inputs for three standard rotary encoders with integrated push-button, three MPG hand-wheel encoders, 12 optically isolated switch inputs, and 12 open collector LED outputs. The USB-BOB can be used in conjunction with Centroid’s popular Virtual Control Panel or without.

The USB-BOB is plug and play with preprogrammed button and knob functionality: Many common functions like Cycle Cancel, Tool Check, Feed Hold and Cycle Start along with Rapid Override, Spindle Speed Override and Feedrate Override are preprogrammed and user select-able with easy drag and drop installation.

In addition to these pre-programmed controls, all controls are user configurable through Centroid’s CNC PLC language so user can customize both the button or knob functionality to suit their application and tastes.

Common uses:
• Physical buttons and knobs for core/common operator functions simplifying the design for a hard operator console
• Supplement Centroid Virtual Control Panel with physical controls without using up any CNC control board inputs
• Add separate Rapid Override to Centroid Legacy control systems that did not have this feature.

What makes the OAK CNC board a superior solution?

The Oak board has a real closed loop system, this sytem has the feedback devices closely monitor the output and any disturbance will be corrected in the first instance. Therefore high system accuracy is achievable. This system is more powerful than the open loop systems and can be applied to the case where the output is subjected to frequent change.
