ATC Interface PCB Kit TTS/BT

This ATC Interface PCB Kit is a controller for operating your ATC on M Series and Series-3 machines. It is designed to communicate within the native Path/pilot 2.XX software environment, No proprietary firmware/software, all files are open source found within the Path/pilot control software.

This ATC interface supports TTS and BT30 configurations

Installation is as simple as USB plug and play recognition. Includes Pyboard v1.1 installed on header pins, USB to TTL adapter, and Micro SD card with preconfigured ATC path/pilot files as well as super easy to follow detailed Instructions and color Diagrams for point-to-point wiring.

This ATC Interface PCB is designed, built and tested in the USA.

Micro SD Card to USB Adapter Required (Not Included)

What it does:

• USB to TTL adapter simply provides 2-way Communication between Path/pilot and ATC system via USB port on you PC/controller.
• Pyboard v1.1 is the Brain of the ATC system it takes commands from Path/pilot and directs functions on the Interface PCB using the specific commands(files) stored on the Micro SD card. Then reports back to Path/pilot it has completed the task successfully.
• Interface PCB is just that an interface between the Pyboard and all of the electronics needed to make a functioning ATC. These functions use electronic components that switch the pneumatic solenoids on/off, read signals from the proximity sensors during tool change operations, control the stepper driver/motor for carrousel rotation, as well as receive input signals from pneumatic power drawbar peddle or push buttons, and air low pressure sensor.

Interface PCB connections:

• 4 Pneumatic solenoid outputs ( Air Blast, Air Cylinder, Pneumatic Power Drawbar, and Spindle Brake (BT30)
• System 24VDC input
• USB to TTL connections (RX/TX and 5VDC/GND)
• 1 opto isolated N/C Low Air PSI input
• 2 opto isolated Power drawbar activation input from peddle or push button.
• 2 opto isolated N/O 24VDC Proximity Sensor input for Carrousel and Home.
• 1 opto isolated VFD Zero rpm input.
• Step/Direction/5v for carrousel/tray rotation stepper driver.
• Easy to install wiring via screw terminals.
