EZPlug G251-4 Interface + G251SOLO Option
|
Rear view of the BladeRunner AIO G251-4 module showing
the Posi-lock EuroPlug motor plugs. Simply strip
the ends of the motor cables and insert them into the screw
terminal plugs. All units below come with plugs on the
cables and tested. They quickly plug or unplug from
the 4 Euro-Plug jacks in rear. ON/OFF from the BladeRunner AIO front
panel. A fault or Power Off will safely shutdown the
motor DC instantly, and discharge the DC bus in 2 sec or
less. New 5th Axis Option uses our G251-SOLO interface Kit that breaks out the 5th axis signals and gives you 4 full independant axis of motion (one axis is hardware slaved) so you can now have a rotary axis in addtion to a full 3 axis machine with Dual Gantry drive (4 motors). Power supply has plenty of reserve power for 5 motors.

We provide an innovative MACH power management
Plug-in that displays the BladeRunner AIO conditions and
the load with Fault messages that pinpoint the exact cause of
the fault/shutdown. Now at a glance you can see the real
time conditions of your controller. Axis load is
displayed on the Load Graph and the blended load (total power
draw) is displayed in a DRO and as a Horizontal Load
Bar. Screen sets, MACH3 Profiles and the Management
plug-in is FREE.

Based on years of experience in home shop CNC
and industrial controls, we have designed this product to have
built in diagnostics. Coupled with pre-configured
profiles for MACH, initial setup is a snap. Our
innovative Total Modular Design means you can easily upgrade
one section without buying a new controller. Using a
Motherboard with embedded processor we created a product that
is easy to upgrade, easy to repair, easy to own and easy to
look at! Our high speed processor monitors each G251-4
axis for overload and does a cental power shutdown if value exceeds a threshold. We also watch the DC motor power
and clamp anything that could harm the drives. To
complete the safety monitoring we read and display the
internal temperature. Virtually any condition that harms
electronics is detected. When we shut down power we turn
off the AC to the Motor Power supply. A PWM FET circuit
provides DC discharge and dynamic braking (Load
Dump) |

One of the important parts of this design is a fantastic
new product in itself: The Ultimate BreakOut Board (UBOB III)
has been shipping for over a year and is the next
generation of single port low cost breakout. With features like buffered, low noise outputs and total
isolated inputs it would equal any BOB on the market at any
price HOWEVER, factor in the expansion options and the new
PORT STRETCHER technology and you get
features unavailable on ANY other card. You get 4 axis
of high speed Step & Dir, + 8 more channels (that's not a
misprint) of low speed general relay driver outputs, and 9 channels of
fast isolated inputs (also not a misprint) ALL FROM A SINGLE CABLE AND ONE PARALLEL
PORT!. |

BladeRunner AIO internal electronics . |
A miracle of packaging, we fit all of the electronics in a
standard NEMA industrial case with room for expansion cards in the
future. The BladeRunner AIO is designed to be tough and
reliable. Connect the PC ports to the side, plug in the motors on the other side and plug in the AC and you have everything ready for basic operation. Everything plugs in with connectors and any sub-assembly/module can be pulled in minutes. .
All you need to work on, or upgrade, the BladeRunner Series
is a small flat-blade and medium Phillips blade
screwdriver. NO SOLDERING, NO HAND WIRING, NO
CHANCES FOR MISTAKES.

Standard Table I/O Card ships with all
BladeRunners and has two power Relays and
inputs for 4 homes and 4 limits (one input), E-stop and Aux (9
inputs total; all isolated. Card is installed
inside the BladeRunner AIO Box at the factory and can be mounted remotely if desired |
Custom
Mach screens and one-button install gives you instant
setup. |
