UDP 68: BOOTP (This is for when the configuration jumper is on).

UDP 67: BOOTP (This is for when the configuration jumper is on).

UDP 9: The Discard Port (Used for initial presence detection).

If you chose not to use the SCU, you will NEED to open the following UDP ports required for communications with the Ethernet SmoothStepper. A short video is also provided to help guide you along with other documentation.

Our Getting Started guide will walk you through the specifics of setting up your SmoothStepper and the computer, and test out the communications. The new version 2.0 of the SCU also includes our Windows Performance Tuning feature which will optimize your PC to run with Mach and a SmoothStepper.Ĭlick here to download and install the SCU. Installing the SCU (System Configuration Utility) Please follow this sequence and you should have a successful installation. Installation of the Ethernet SmoothStepper is meant to follow the order of the sections on this documentation page. For information pertaining to the operation of Mach3 and Mach4 and CNC systems in general, there is a wealth of sources already available: It is outside the scope of this documentation page to explain the operation or configuration of CNC systems and Mach3 or Mach4 except for information that is specific to the SmoothStepper.

Each of the 2 previous links provides a short video and documentation on how to install the respective pieces of software. It is assumed that you have the recommended version of Mach3 or the recommended version of Mach4 installed on your computer and that you are using the current ESS Plugin for Mach3 or ESS Plugin for Mach4 respectively. This documentation page provides the information necessary to install the Ethernet SmoothStepper in a CNC system controlled by Mach3 or Mach4.

Our Getting Started guide will walk you through the specifics of setting up your SmoothStepper. The LPH26 ribbon cable option includes the appropriate cables for breakout boards with a 26-pin header, like the PMDX-126.Ethernet SmoothStepper (ESS) Documentation Page

The DB25 to LPH26 ribbon cable option allows the Ethernet SmoothStepper to plug directly into all-in-one motor drivers like the MX4660 or G540.

#CONNECTING PICCONVERT TO ETHERNET SMOOTHSTEPPER DRIVER#

The Ethernet SmoothStepper does not require any special software drivers, simply utilizing the standard ethernet driver provided by your operating system, and supports up to (3) 25 pin ports worth of IO (simulating 3 parallel ports). It solves or greatly reduces most potential Windows-related communication issues by providing a dedicated real-time DSP (digital signal processor) to handle the precise timing of step and direction signals. In addition to enabling the use of Mach4 with any modern PC that lacks a parallel port or runs a 64-bit version of Windows, the Ethernet SmoothStepper provides a more reliable and robust communication path between your PC and CNC electronics. It is a standard component in our Plug and Play NEMA 23 CNC Control System and Plug and Play NEMA 34 CNC Control System and is recommended with all of our Electronics kits. The Ethernet SmoothStepper is our preferred solution for the ideal CNC controller experience.
