Same specs as the popular MP3600 but with our new Direct Ethernet EBOB card and the new DTHC 5 5th generation THC. This controller comes with a Linux computer and CommandCNC software.
NOTE: We no longer supply the DB-25 cable to connect the Axis I/O (MTA250 card)
Pre-Configured LINUX PC ( New Mini PC w/2yr warranty)
Installed Drawing (Inkscape), CAD, and Demo Copy of SheetCAM (use your Windows License)
Power Cord (IEC input plug). Universal AC of 100 to 240VAC 50/60 hz
Cat 5 cables for Ethernet to PC and from DTHC 5 to PWM module (included)
Licensed Copy of CommandCNC™ Control software full featured…no expensive upgrades.
All software is perpetual license…no monthly rentals or fees .
Custom Post Processors for SheetCAM to do Automated Plasma and Router
Remote Digital (Isolated) Pickup for Plasma signals (PWMIIa)
External MTA250 Card provides screw terminals for up to 6 axis of Step & Dir (Driver interface )
Easy Dual Motor Axis (slaving) setup.
Built-in 16 input Opto isolated on rear panel for easy access. Plugs for our Ohmic Sensor or the Super Z
Connects Homes, Limits, Probes, safety switches and other NO or NC switches or sensors.
Uses new Direct Ethernet Breakout (EBOB) with expanded Inputs and Outputs
Rear mounted Dual Power Relay Outputs to control AC loads up to 15A from software
Option for Quad Relay connector to expand relays to 6
Oxy Fuel Profile in CommandCNC and external relays for 120V solenoids (not furnished)
Compatible with all CandCNC Rotary Plasma Cutting options
Full Router support including POSTS for SheetCAM and Vetric VCarvePro and Aspire method. Supports toolchange and tool-setter for router
Can use al of the add-ons and expansi options for our full G5 and G5XL complete controller systems
THE MP3700 – DTHC 5 is an advanced Ethernet connected Breakout Board, (EBOB) a 5th generation High Speed Digital Torch Height control and a hardware companion to CommandCNC™. It can be used to build simple or sophisticated CNC plasma or plasma router tables using steppers or servos as long as the drivers can take discreet step and direction logic signals. THIS IS YOUR BEST CHOICE for a running Plasma or Plasma/router table to continue to use the power supply, motors and mechanics. Not all motor drivers are compatible so check your driver specs first. If your current controller is self contained with proprietary software this WILL NOT plugin and run!
Want o build a high function, cost effective Plasma or Plasma/Router /Multi-use CNC table . On a budget? Combine the MP3700 Kit with a DC power supply, Moor drivers and matching motors (up to 6) and a handful of AC side components and you have a highly capable machine that has features you can only find on high end commercial machines.
One of the buying options is a Plasma Connection Kit that does the final connection to your plasma for automation control. Some models have standard pin-out connectors and internal voltage dividers. Others do not. While most plasma with arc start (pilot arc) will work they will need to use the Universal Connection kit offer in the choices.

Plasma Connection Kits
Once you have the MP3700-DTHC 5 and its optons selected and in your cart then its important to find the proper THC connection Kit that ties your plasma to the Digital Pickup (PWM Module) that comes with the MP3700-DTHC5
The MP3700-DTHC5 is the perfect solution for the retrofit of older controls , confusing low feature import controls or to front end your own stick built plasma or multi-use table. you won’t find another controller that is wired and ready to go with a fraction of the features at anything close to the same price. This is not a single card unit that only works with plasma . Not only is it a full featured motion control and digital Torch height contro, l but it uses an industrial Operating System (LINUX) that is Open Source and not bloated with embedded “features” you can’t turn off. Every MP37700 SHIPS WITH A PRELOADED MINI PC , Setup and read y to customize to your machine /table and get running fast.
Scared of LINUX? Don’t be. It is 100% GUI (even our setup and configuration tools) and it talks to any Windows network, or uses any memory stick . Transfer files and use compatible applications on either platform SheetCAM (unlicensed) comes preloaded on the PC along with drawing and CAD programs. if you have a valid license for TNG on Windows it will work on the LINUX PC as well. Process your files on either platform.
Profession multi-panel User Interface for CommandCNC running on LINUX
Upgrading your Current Import (Chinese) Control
Lets face it . A lot of cheaper tables (and a couple that are not so cheap) opt for the cheap import controls and THCs from China . Often the mechanics and even the motor sand power section are just fine but those controls and software with confusing User Interfaces, weird Terms and just plan poor engineering can make operation of those machines less than pleasant.
There are a lot of import tables from China and most use the “Starfire” type LCD panel or something similar and typically a “stand alone” THC with a panel full of knobs or screen settings and no integration into the actual toolpath . Performance is limited but price “bary low”.

Baileigh
Laguna
Piranha
Xtel and other direct from China brands.
In most cases the table is mechanically sound and they use good quality power, drivers and motors and most have a good Z axis with collision detection and touch off options on the Z. Its the Software, Motion Control and THC that are junk.
So what can you do? You have a lot invested in the table already between the base purchase and the freight in. How about we replace the FRONT END motion controls and the software and turn it into a user friendly, highly flexible and feature rich system and do it all for a fraction of the cost of a whole new table!
Is it hard? Not really. Its a process of tracing some wires , taking notes and having some basic wiring and reading skills. We are here to help . We have done upgrades or helped customers do the upgrades on a wide range of import plasma and router tables .
