UBOB - The Ultimate Breakout Board

INT

The UBOBII is a third generation, powered, isolated Breakout Board. It is a unique andradically different design from our previous Breakout products.

A breakout board is designed to take low level logic signals from a PC parallel port and buffer(amplify) them and shift them to standard 5 volts from a lower logic type such as the newer 3.3Vlogic levels found in a lot of new Motherboards and laptop parallel ports. In addition it providesa level of protection on the INPUTS from the noise and spikes of the outside world using

. That breaks the grounds apart and prevents noise from being transmitted across acommon connection. The UBOBII uses an external regulated power source. It has a specialDC-DC converter on the board that supplies the floating power for the Optoisolated inputs andis not connected through a common ground. The internal logic runs on a PC referenced (sameground as the PC) + 5VDC. The other voltage is a +12VDC supply that provides a voltagesource to drive the external relays on the Table I/O Card (and optional Quad Relay Board)

The limiting factor of all breakout cards is that there are only a specific number of discreetinputs and outputs on a standard parallel port. The parallel port has the following I/Ocapability under control of MACH or EMC:

12 high speed outputs for Step & Direction and/or relay interface. Typically 8 are used for 4axis of motion, one is used for the Charge Pump (more about that later) and three are open forauxillary outputs (relays, enable pins, etc). Even more limited is the inputs. There are only 5and one is for E-stop. That leaves the other 4 for Homes and limits, probes, index inputs, etc.

The UBOB is the first BOB design to utilized an advanced thatexpands the I/O FROM A SINGLE PORT to: 9 high speed (step & Dir + Charge Pump)outputs,and 8 low speed aux outputs for relays. All 8 lines are double buffered and can handle severalhundred milliamperes of current each. The inputs are expanded from 5 to 9 providing theadded inputs to setup probes, or handle other external signals (external rotary encodersCANNOT be used).

The UBOBII in conjunction with MACH software uses “Virtual Ports” to communicate with thesignals from the UBOBII. Port 1 inputs (pins 10, 11, 12, 13 and 15) are in parallel with port 8(virtual port) pins of the same pin numbers. Thus the signal for port 1 pin 11 is shared with thesignal from port 8 pin 11. The outputs are muxed (a process that lets 3 outputs in MACHcontrol 8 individual outputs) and show up as PORT 4 (virtual port). Two of the outputs are usedto connect to Expansion Modules (DTHC or ISS-02). The other 6 are double buffered

and designed to drive external relays or similar loads and areaccessible via the Table I/O card. The Port Expander is controlled from the ccc_UBOB.dll plug-in loaded during the auto install. If you are having trouble with the virtual inputs and outputs notworking (ports 8 and port 4) then make sure that plug-in

The UBOBII is design to be a stand alone BOB and port interface or to interface with ourEZPlug© Gecko Interface Cards to quickly build anything from a 3 axis table top router/mill to a5 axis 5 X10 router/plasma table.

The following document covers setup, configuration and testing of the basic UBOBII includingthe setup in MACH3. Several of the common optional cards are covered. If you bought a“Builders Pak” or other package deal this manual can serve as a reference for all of the cards.in this manual. You can always purchase them at any time and upgrade your UBOBII.

IMPORTANT!!

The UBOBII requires the version of MACH shipped on the CD (or later versions we can certify) ANDour MACH specific plug-in (UBOB.dll). IT WILL NOT WORK WITH OLDER MACH VERSIONS THAN3.042.020 and the PLUG-INs MUST be installed and configured for the outputs to work correctly.Please take a few minutes to go down the QUIK START List to make sure you have the basics in

place.

QUIK START LIST.

Do the following setup with a motor(s) disconnected from your table (or drive belt removed) to confirm propersetup and motor rotation/direction

MACH version from CD (or download) installed/updated. Version 3.042.020 required (See Addendumsection for software step-by-step)If you have a version of MACH running with another Breakout make a copy of the (entire) MACH folder as

a backup. You can open it and retrieve the motor tuning and other custom settings to save time.from CD or Download Run INSTALL and files show up in MACH

Use the MP3000-Install. That will setup the UBOB and all the cards.Open from MACH3 menu and verify CCC_UBOB plug-in is ENABLED (Green Check)

For Builders Pak and modular products see the section on hooking up power. The UBOB needs a sourceof +5 and +12 both at 500ma. The Universal Power Pak supplied with the Builders Pak (and all MP3000and BladeRunner Products) will provide the proper power for the UBOBII and external cards. See the pageson hooking up the power.Power up UBOBII and connect to computer (PC) parallel port one (Port1)

Serial port interface is required for basic operation. On UBOBII ONLY (no Expansion Modules) installsthere is no serial communications. The UBOBII serial is a pass-through for other CandCNCdevices/expansion cards.Connect the Table I/O card and

The proper Ports and Pins configuration for the UBOBII is in the MP3000 profile(XML). When you selectthat profile in the MACH loader you should only have to make changes in the and

(Dir change). The only other changes might be in as to the homing direction.Make sure in MACH running the MP3000 Profile you can come out of RESET. See the UBOBII jumper

detail. If you are running without a CandCNC Power Controller Box (ESP or Power Commander) J6 MUSTbe in place to bypass the remote Power EPO signal. It is designed to keep you from coming out of reset IFyou have that remote (NC relay contacts) on the power supply.Turn all the power off and connect up the Axis I/O cable to the MTA100/MTA150 Card. That card is

designed to be a multi-purpose breakout for direct (screw terminal) connections to motor drives that useStep & Direction and a Common connection, or by using ribbon cables, connects directly to our EZPLugStepper or EZPlug Servo interface cards. Sections of this manual cover the interconnects.The circuitry in the UBOB requires that the Charge Pump signal from MACH be OFF in RESET The defaultsetup profile has that set right...do not change it.Once you have the motor drives connected and DC power to them (supplied by a separate DC motor powersupply). the motors should “lock up” when DC power is supplied. Start with just one motor (X). Confirmlockup and then with the UBOB powered up and the DC power to the motor drives jog the X axis from thekeyboard using the left and right arrow keys.Confirm the other axis jogs by moving the X motor

The Inputs for Homes, limits, probes, etc are via the Table IO card and into the Table I/O connector to theUBOBII. There are also two relays on the Table I/O card that are controlled by Output1 and Output2 inMACH. By default those outputs are setup to be triggered by Spindle on/off (M03/M05 G-code commands)and by M06 and M08 for the output2. There are also buttons on the Program Run Screen we supply. Wehave included charts to show all signal lines from/to the Table I/O and the other I/O on the UBOBII andexternal cards. In most cases all of those signals are already setup (correct ports and pins) in the XMLprofile. You may need to ENABLE some of the signals but pin mappings do not need to be changed unlessyou want to re-map certain inputs to specific inputs.

POWERING THE UBOB FROM OTHER SOURCES THAN THE UNIVERSAL POWER PAK

If you do not have the External Universal Power Pak, you can power the UBOBII from several sources. Both inputvoltages now share the same ground with the PC (PCGND). The PC +5. The parallel port on a PC DOES NOTHAVE a source of +5 other than leak pull-ups on logic lines. The USB part has a +5 line and the internal power

supply of most PC’s has a +5 and +12 output. You can get tap plugs that allow access to the internal volatges on aPC. The wires used to power hard drives and CD drives has +5 (Red Blk pair) Yellow Blk pair is +12. Make sure

meter the voltages and note the wire colors!

You can supply the +5 from any regulated +5 power that can handle a minimum of 250ma. Examples are wallplugtransformers, Desktop power supplies (for some laptops, etc) and open board power supplies from hobby sources.

The ..1 solderless (crimp on) terminals are marked with PC+5 and PCGND for the 5 volt input.

The +12 input can be a separate power supply rated at 500ma or higher with the same ground return. Most dualoutput power supplies share the same ground connection so will work for the required voltages. The +12 drives the

relays.

THE UBOBII uses an onboard isolated DC-DC converter to power the isolated inputs for all of the opto isolatedinputs. You no longer have to worry about a separate floating supply.

TABLE I/O II CARDThe TableI/O card provides a breakout of inputs and outputs. It connects to the UBOBII via a 25 pin

computer cable into the TABLE I/O plug (see overlay next page). The card can be close to or up to 20ftfrom the UBOBII card. You have the option to mount the card close to the UBOBII and pull the Homesand other inputs into the card or you can mount the card out on the Table and connect all of the inputswith short runs. Having the Power relays out on the table for larger machines can be an advantage.

About Inputs

Although the INPUTS are named on the drawing all inputs are general and can be used for any input function.The names listed reflect what each input is mapped to in the setup files . You have the option touse any input and even re-map it in the software. The THC inputs (UP , DOWN and ARC OK) should not beused for other inputs IF YOU ARE USING the DTHC Torch Height Control with plasma. You can use thoseinputs for different functions for Router or Milling setups. Since each setup (profile) is independent youcould elect to have inputs do different things in different profiles. In this version of the Table I/O we haveremoved any PORT 2 inputs and added ALT inputs that can be used ONLY with our EMC2 drivers (notcompatible with MACH3). If you are using the card with our UBOB based products and MACH3 thendisregard the ALT input terminals

we provide

TABLE I/O -16

Note the Table I/O -16 is a revision of our Table I/O card. Most ofthe terminals the same location (with the exception of the EPO

terminals. This card has been changed so it can be used with bothMACH3 and EMC based systems. If your unit has the new TABLE-

IO 16 as shown follow this wiring diagram. The earlier modeldiagrams can be used to interface the signals you need, Like the

Example of hooking up AC load to Table I/O Main Relay

Mount TABLE I/O Card in protective insulated case. Exposedterminals if used with AC voltage (outputs) are dangerous and

should never be exposed to liquids or metal chips. Use the rightsized wire for the AC load you want to control. If you do not have

electrical skills and experience working with high voltage AC or DCcircuits do not attempt hooking up equipment using the Table I/Opower relays. USE COMMON SENSE. Don’t work on any circuit

“live” (with power to the wires).

MTA150 Motor Driver Interface CardThe MTA 100 provides a remote (or local) brekaout card to access the 5 sets of step & dir signals fromthe UBOBII card. When placed in a separate cabinet with the Motor Drivers and/or power supply, the

MTA150 can be mounted so the DB25 connector (AXIS I/O In) can be used with a standard M-F DB 25extension cable and IDC Adapter at he UBOBII Axis I/O Heder to make avaialble all the signals for

using Step & Direction based drives. The Card also has additional connectors that provide interface toan external G540 4 axis Gecko Driver product and headers to plug in CandCNC EZPlug Stepper or

Servo Interface cards. Axis I/O interface to the UBOBII can also be via the 26 pin IDC header behindthe DB25 connector labeled as AXIS I/O. 5th Axis (B) signals are provided using the B channel signalsfrom the UBOBII but independant 5 axis motion (not hardware slaved) requires a 2nd parellel port card.The following pages show several different type of hookups to common motor drives and to our EZplug

cards. The are for illustration only and should be used as guides.

IDC to DB25 Male RibbonAdapter

TO Port 2Interface connector. Locatedon rear of BladeRunner andBladeRunner II units.

BASIC PORT2 INTERFACE CARD CONNECTIONS

OPTIONAL LongerDB25 M to DB25 FExtension Cable canbe used on either endto connect to PC portup to 15ft away.

Connect directly into PC Parallel Port 2Connector OR use DB25 F to DB 25 MEXTENSION cable

DB9 Adapter (Male) forConnection of MPG101BHand Controller

The following pages cover an OPTIONAL expansion card for hooking up ut optional MPG101Bhand controller and/or added inputs off of the Table I/O Card.

There is only one jumper on the card and it controls whether the PORT 2 uses the Charge Pumpsignal from the UBOBII. The default is that the CP signal is BYPASSED (not used). Since theoutputs are typically the signals that give problems when the CP is off (during power up or reboot ofthe PC) and the PORT2 only has two outputs (for a B axis) the active CP (jumper to pins 2-3) isonly needed if you are using 5 motors/drives.

You can purchase a PORT2 Interface Card and add it at any time. If you purchase an MPG101 aPort2 Interface Card is SHIPPED WITH IT (Included) along with the proper cable adapters.

THE PORT2 INTERFACE IS NOT A 2nd PARALLEL PORT FOR YOUR PC. IT IS A POWEREDBREAKOUT CARD with isolators and buffers that goes between the inputs and the actual ParallelPort on the computer.

NOTE: Any MP3000 Product ordered with a PORT2 Interface OR an MPG101B has the Port2Interface card installed inside the case (front panel) and has the connectors for the Parallel Portcable and the MPG101 (DB9) installed in the panel. The Card gives you the option to mount it closeto the Parallel Port, close to the UBOBII or away from both ends by using extension cables of thecorrect gender. No matter where you place the card it needs protection from moisture and flyingmetal cuttings.

Virtual Port Pins (MACH)

Virtual Outputs (MACH)

PORT1 I/O Pins

Virtual Pins are used to provide mapping to shared inputs and muxed outputs. They are setup in MACHusing Non-Hardware Port numbers.

Start Install of MACH3 software by clicking on the MachProgram/ file . If you alreadyhave a version of MACH on the PC, you will be prompted to upgrade the version. Let it upgrade. If you have aversion than 3.042.20 then be aware that while there will probably be no problems we have not testedthe custom drivers (plug-ins) with versions after 3.42.020. You will see the screen above when you start theinstall.

MACH3ver3.042.020.exe

NEWER

Software Install InstructionsIf you are installing from the Support CD you can find the MACH3 ver 3.042.020 in the BladeRunner\MACH-PROG folder as . If you are installing from a web download you will first have to UNZIPthe files you downloaded and place them in a Folder on your PC. Name the folder something that you can easilyidentify later. Unzip the files all into that folder (MACH3 program, BladeRunner-Install.exe, etc)

While MACH will run under Windows Vista a lot of other programs you may need won’t. Vista uses LOT’s ofresources so your PC needs to be the fastest one with 2G of RAM to have a shot at making it work. We do notcurrently support Vista so PLEASE don’t call and ask for support for MACH from us if you are running anythingbut WIN2000 or XP (any level).

Mach3VersionR3.042.exe

A NOTE ABOUT HARDWARE (PC) THAT YOU NEED TO RUN MACH:

1. Not all hardware is compatible with MACH3 regardless of how fast the PC is. It’s rare that a PC rated over1.8GHZ won’t run MACH but not unheard of. Usually the problems show up as jerky motor movements, badmotion in running code and other control problems. Things like Inputs and Outputs and not getting any motormovement is NOT typically a MACH / PC issue. If in doubt about the ability of the PC run DriverTest.exe (WithMACH not running) located in the MACH3 folder.2. The minimum computer recommended is a 1 GHZ processor with 256MRam. We find that a 1.8 or 2.4 GHZwith 512M RAM tends to work better especially if the MB has on-board video. The higher you can run the corefreq in MACH the more Steps per Second you can get and the smoother the pulse train of those steps. Thereare also Windows processes that can effect the timing in MACH. Never run realtime virus protection or other“tray” programs not need for basic Windows functions.

After You Install MACH you will see that it has placed 3 or 4 ICONs on your Desktop in Windows. To check theinstall click the Mach3Mill Icon and make sure MACH loads and you get a screen. That setup/screen WILL NOT

RUN the BladeRunner and does not have the correct Plug-ins for the UBOB (used in the BladeRunner). YOUSHOULD NOT EVEN HAVE YOUR HARDWARE CONNECTED TO THE PARALLEL PORT AT THIS POINT!

The Next step in the install is to find the INSTALL.EXE either in BladeRunner Folder on the CD OR in theUNZIPPED BladeRunner-Install.zip file.

The BladeRunner Auto Install does the following:Installs the custom XML (Profile) and SET (Screen file) files into the MACH3 directoryInstalls the 3 custom Plug-ins used in all of CandCNC’s products including the Pendant plug-in. If you are

not using the serial communications or pendant you can disable the plug-ins in MACH later. It won’t hurt toleave them running.

Adds in the proper side files for the screen files (embedded VB)Removes the default Icons MACH installs on the Desktop (except for LOADER) and puts a BladeRunner

Icon on the Desktop so you can start your BladeRunner directly from that ICON.Removes unneeded XML’s from MACH so they don’t show up in the Loader List.Replaces the MACH engine with a special engine configured for the UBOB

Below are a few of the dialog windows you see when running the CandCNC BladeRunner Install:

NOTE: The BladeRunner Monitor section of the screen (Lower right) will not display parameters if you do not havethe Serial Port on your PC connected to the BladeRunner Serial Input on the front panel. See the BladeRunnerUser Manual for more informatrion.

After you finish the BladeRunner Install Process:Reboot the PC and select the BladeRunner Profile by using the Desktop Icon OR from the

BladeRunner Entry in the Mach Loader list.Go to the Quik Start Section and hook up your hardware.
