    Default E-Cut 4-Axis Controller card - need help

    Hi All,
    I am upgrading my K2 servo mill with an E-cut 4-axis controller card and was wondering if anyone has used this card. K2, as always, has been useless, and now seem to be gone. The card itself seems to be of good quality, but the wiring diagrams are vague on how or where to connect the servo encoders and E-stop. I have schematics, but they are in Chinese and I am not savvy enough to understand some of the input and output logic. I've attached some pix. Hopefully we can sort this out and help others also.
    Also, K2 has a custom breakout board attached to the G320x drivers. Have no idea what the pinout is.

    Appears to be a USB card and also it mentions Modbus?

    The modbus appears to be a CAT cable connector. No mention anywhere as to function that I can find.
    Here are the English pinout specs. for the card. I'm guessing that the general purpose inputs should somehow accommodate the encorders?

    hey guys, i too have this board. ecut v1.2
    although with countless hours of play with the board i got spindle control stepper motor control limit with pnp sensors. i'm building a mill.
    it sure would be great to find people with experience with this board that is willing to share their experience with wiring setup and mach3 setup. i still need to figure out auto z measuring, flood mist control.
    also i forgot to mention i have a 24 v version but still running it on 12v at the moment
    anybody else interested?
    I'm running nema 42 stepper motors and 2.2 kw spindle with inverter 220 vac and pnp limit sensors

    I have an E-Cut too, and the card delivers wrong step to step motor drivers, I have tested with a leafboy77 cards and then it works as it should. Have you had similar problems? I run the card with 24 VDC.

    No but that sounds like an config problem you can fix in mach 3 i think. if your computer tells ecut to do 1 pulse and ecut does something else you probably have a defective card

    check in menu config/motor tuning. and also see what your stepper drivers are set at. stepper drivers can be set to different stepping and micro stepping

    ecut comes with a plugin for mach3 and changes all the preferences

    Hope this helps

    good luck

    Hi matrix7y7y, also I have e-cut like a controller board. I am trying to connect the A-Axi but Mach 3 doesn't accept. Do you know something about it?

    Hi Olena, you probably have a 3-axis version of the card. Although it looks the same as 4-axis version, the firmware does not support the 4th axis (A axis).
