Please read this book before using the product to ensure proper use of the controller and its related software.
This book provides information on how to install and operate Radonics PC-Pro LAN and PC-Smart controllers for router machines. Having basic knowledge of industrial electricity is essential to make use of this information. Information about the drive motors used in the machine and their wiring is also required as supplementary information for the necessary electrical panel setup.
By installing the interface, default settings are installed that can be used as a wiring template by accessing the program’s settings. Inputs, outputs, and axes are present in these settings. However, based on the conditions, different wiring templates can be applied, and by changing the program’s settings, the hardware can be synchronized with the software.
Radonics offers several interfaces for router machine startup, with the XYZ-Router interface for simple 3-axis routers and the XYZA-Router interface for 4-axis rotary routers being the most commonly used examples. By installing them on the computer, pre-configured settings for inputs and outputs are installed.
Who can benefit from using this book?
- This book is intended for the following users
- People responsible for installing or wiring Radonix controllers.
- People responsible for setting up Radonix controllers.
- People responsible for setting up Radonix controller software.
- People responsible for troubleshooting and maintaining CNC machines with Radonix controllers.
- People who intend to present a project based on CNC machines.
- Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in serious injury or death.
- Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in minor or serious injury to the controller.death.
- Indicates an operation that is not recommended and may cause a disruption in the controller’s performanc.
- Do not connect the controller power supply to the city power or 220V, incorrect connection can cause serious damage to the controller.
- To prevent noise, use shielded cable and foil for connecting to the encoders of the drives.
- Before connecting the controller to the power supply, check the wiring again and make sure the connections are correct.
- Make sure to correctly ground the electrical panel and computer case, otherwise the generated noise can cause incorrect operation of the computer and software.
- Pay attention to the wire size during wiring, otherwise the resistance created in the wire can cause incorrect data transmission.
- Before using the controller and software, set the software parameters correctly, otherwise it may cause serious damage to the mechanical system.
- Please do not touch the controller while using it as it may cause an electric shock.
- Only people with electronics knowledge should be responsible for maintenance and repair.
To facilitate easier understanding of the text, some commonly used terms that may need explanation are briefly described below:
Interface
The main interface of the Radonix Cam-Pro program with the user, which is actually what the user sees on the computer and communicates with the controller through.
Variable
All numerical and string data available to the user to create changes in the user interface display, motion, and response are called variables.
Function
Programs that allow the controller and/or the user to execute specific commands and instructions, and enable communication between the controller and the user.
Parameter
Refers to internal variables of the controller and/or interface that allow the user to create changes in the program execution process and/or changes in the motion of the system.
Key
Can include both hardware and software keys, which can be defined based on the type of application.
