Dual Stacked Bridge Mounting plate will mount 4
Gecko drives of any series, two on top and two on the
bottom UPDATE!! New Triple Stack models support 5 or 6
drives
ESP650 and ESP1500 not sold
individually. See Package Deals section and RouterPak or
Plazpak units that use the new ESP technology

Using a unique stacked power design we have made the electronics
part of building a professional CNC at a hobby price achievable by
anybody that can turn a screwdriver and crimp a terminal onto a
wire. Our controller card has lots of features that
simple transformer-bridge-filter cap bulk supplies don't have
but it does provide 53 to 60Volts of filtered DC at up to
10A Continuous and 15A intermittent. It will drive 3 , 4 or 5
Geckos running most sizes/combinations of steppers and servos.
If you own any of our MP1000 series products, one cable
between them provides both Step and Direction for motor drives
(double buffered) and complete power control (RUN & STOP) from
the front panel of your MP1000 box. A standard DB25
plug is also provided for direct connection to our series
of smaller breakout cards like the MINI-IO (optional MTA100
Termination Card required for MINI-IO). The parallel port
inputs and 4 added ouputs are passed through to another DB25 for use
with a auxillary input and output card (optional)

FEATURE LIST
-
Modular design is compact and
clean
- 11.75"W X 12.5"L X 4 1/5"D Design fits standard 3U
rack cases and commercial NEMA case.
-
Easy to setup. All Power
connections are .250 Crimp-on connectors
-
Unique stacked power design gives
choices of output voltages.
-
PWM dynamic braking
discharges caps in < 2 sec
-
DC output is loaded on any
shutdown to brake the motors
-
AC Side 20A latching relay is
failsafe. Any failure results in
shutdown.
- Quad AC shutdown protection
(Main Switch, Panel Breaker, AC Contactor and Electronic
softstart)
- New processor based
watchdog/control shuts down Motor Power instantly for ANY fault
condition
- Supply constantly monitors Motor
volts, Motor Current, Case (internal Temperature).
- Ultra Soft Start AC circuit holds
inrush current to levels EQUAL TO NORMAL LOAD CONDITIONS!
- Electronic Fusing acts 300
times faster than conventional fuses.
- Any shutdown sequence instantly
turns power off to motors and applies dynamic
braking
- When used with EZPlug Servo Interface Cards any drive
fault shuts down the system
- Overvoltage protection (OVP) keeps
line surges or back EMF from motors from damaging drives or
components. Instant shutdown on OVP events.
- 40,000 MFD of filter caps.
- Separate POWER and POWER
GROUND for each motor module
- Designed to provide Floating Power
to Gecko's (isolated from logic or PC grounds) for increased noise
immunity and elimination of ground loop problems. Gecko
mounting plate/heatsink is NOT grounded to chassis.
- Operation on 110 (120V AC) or 220
(240VAC) single phase (US with neutral line only)
- 220-240VAC 50HZ version
available
- Provisions for quick connect of
panel power components such as main power switch, primary
side breaker, power cord.
- When used with CandCNC
MP1000 products the RUN and STOP (power control) can also be
accessed via the MP1000 front panel RUN and STOP buttons and LED's
- NEW! ESP version adds faster
response electronics and full RS232 Multi-drop communications with
MACH3!
- Plugins for DB25 cable from most
port interface cards (eg Mini-IO, etc)
- Direct interface plug for all
CandCNC MP1000 products (via MTA 100 card)
- Sub panel allows easy mounting in
a metal or fiberglass case
- Plug compatable with our low cost
Mini-IO solutions
- Support for 5 axis or 5.5 axis (6 motors, 1 slaved)
operation when used with MP1000C series
products.

With the addition of the EZPLUG Servo or Stepper interface cards
the interconnects inside the box have dropped to vitually
nothing. The Geckos snap onto the end connectors on one side
and posi-loc motor connectors are on the other. The Gecko
"shelf" has been modified so that the Interface cards fit and will
slide up to the end of the NEMA case and provide easy external
access to both the motor and (in the case of servos) the encoder
runs

Pictured above is the new
EZPlug Dual Gecko Interface card for Servo
applications. It features power-on Reset
for both Gecko's, central fault detection (any fault on any
drive shuts down power and issues an e-stop signal) and best
of all it has Differential inputs using
standard RJ45 for UTP network cables. The connection is
so easy anyone can do it. One ribbon cable down to the
PSC650 card and two sets of power cables down to connectors on
the PSC650. Hookup takes 5 minutes or less! The
cards include 2 Differential driver cards for the servo
motors. Instablility from encoder noise goes
AWAY! $68.00 for a Dual Card and two
matching Differential drivers (for USDigital encoders with the
5 pin latching connector)

|
Pictured above the EZPug Dual GeckoI
Stepper Interface allows you to quickly mount one or two Gecko
stepper drives. Gecko current is set with handy Dip
Switches. Drive connectors are 5 wide to prevent
plugging them into a servo card. $38.00 for a Dual
Card

The Interface Cards (servo or
stepper) can be stacked top and bottom using our Gecko
Mounting plates. You can run two servos and two
steppers or 3 or 4 steppers or servos.
NOTE: For larger servos more than
two are not supported. See the PSC1500 unit for 3 or 4
servo operation |

NEMA MOLDED CASE (SPSC650 drops in and
screws down with 4 bolts)
Supplied with cutouts for our
sub-assemblies
OR
Complete Case with cutouts, fan, fan filter,
exhaust vent, Main Power Switch, External Fuse Holder, Big Red
E-stop button, Matching end plate, Decals.
|

|

|
|
Open hinged Case with all components installed and ready to
run |
Closed case ready to plug in motors (motors included with
most Plazpak and RouterPak
versions.) | NOTE: EPS650 WILL NOT
POWER 3 or MORE LARGE SERVO MOTORS! it can be
used with 2 large and 1 small or 1 stepper combo or any group of
motors with continuous ratings of less than 15A
TOTAL. The PlazPak 3 and 4 or the RouterPak 3
& 4 use our larger ESP1500 1.5KW power controller.
