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.

Part, Vise and Fixture Probing: Automatically Set Zero points fast and accurate.
3 axis CNC Touch Probe triggers in all directions. Use the KP-1 probe to quickly and accurately find zero points on a vise, fixture or part. Eliminate operator error when setting zero points, finding edges, or center locations of bosses or bores, slots and webs. Eliminates the need for a center finder or an edge finder. You’ll never have to spend 30 minutes using a center finder to locate the center of a bore again. The probe will find and set the center of a bore in just seconds. In addition, the probe can be used to verify part dimensions and locations, 3D digitizing and many other applications. The KP-1 mounts in any 1/2″ tool holder and has concentric adjustment screws. Also compatible with Mach3/4, WinCNC, LinuxCNC, Pathpilot and others.

-Weight of probe and ½”shank 0.40 lb
-Over travel limit angle (X,Y) +/- 12 degrees from vertical
-Over travel limit (Z-) 0.25” (6.25mm)
-Patented concentric alignment (spindle/tool holder/probe body run out adjustment)
-The KP-1 Probe closes the input on the CNC controller when triggered.
-The KP-1 Probe is equipped with a detection wire so the CNC control knows that the probe is plugged in
-Works with Centroid’s Probe Protection mode which prevents probe crashes while user is jogging

The AcornSix D-Scout Interface board provides six drive axes of RS422 compatible differential drive output signals as well as 4 additional Scout RJ45 expansion ports. The D-Scout board is commonly used when AC servos drives are being employed with the AcornSix to make use of the superior quadrature step and direction signal communication protocol that the D-Scout board provides. The additional Scout ports facilitate easy connections with a common shielded Ethernet cable to any Centroid Scout communication protocol equipped product such as the PLCEXP1616 (#14575), Scout Operators Control Panel (#14612) and the Encoder-Scale Input board (#15330).

D-Scout user information is contained within the AcornSix manual in Appendix B starting on page 115
