Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Simply Introduction

DDSMXV5.0 is designed by our Studio, it is a CNC system based mach3.Its version

is 5.0 now.You do not need to add other Hardwareand you can complete the signal conversion
from the G-code to the movement of the stepper motor drive control. This card is compatible
with most stepper drives and servo drives. And it is perfect weapon to replace mach3 parallel
interface board. DDSMXV5.0 include DDSM3V5.0 DDSM4V5.0 DDSM5V5.0
DDSM6V5.0they are 3456 axes mach3CNC card. These 4 cards use the same Hardware
platformDDSMXV5.0.They are limited to 3,4,5,6 axes for different voice of customer .They
use the same manual.

A)USB PORTThis interface is connected to the computer through a USB line. You can
use the software mach3 to control this board, Note that you should use a USB2.0 cable
with shielding and ferrite core, and cable length should be not more than 2 meters.
B)6-axis stepper motor control signal outputaxes are defined as X\Y\Z\A\B\C from left

to right. Each axis is defined as COM+\CP-\DIR-. They are positive common, negative
pulse, negative direction. This card is common positive connection, so CK+ and DIR+ of
Stepper driver should be connected to COM+. This board does not support the common
negative connection. See as Figure2-2. This card doesnt have EN signal, Most drives on
sale should not connected to the EN signal.

Figure2-2. Stepper motor driver connection

C)Spindle control port. This port does not need referenced voltage. It supply speed

control voltage to Frequency Converter. Define as VSOPWMM7M80V from left

The parameters are defined as follows:

Steps perPulse equivalent ,it is number of pulses required with axial movement 1mm, This
can be calculated by lead screw pitch and motor drive segment. Such as pitch 2.5mm,2-phase
motor 8 segments, Calculation method is 8*200/2.5=640
VelocityThe speed is the axial velocity, Units is mm/sRecommended settings 1500.
AccelerationUnits is mm/s2Recommended settings 200.
Step PulseStep Pulse Cannot be set, its 2.5us in default.
