Editing CNC with Granite Devices drives

CNC tooling machines (mills & lathes) are one of the largest target applications of Granite Devices servo drives. This page lists needed items and steps to realize a working CNC system.
plementation of motor control. If 

==Needed items==
===Common items for all drives===
*A CNC [[controller]], such as [[Mach3]] or [[LinuxCNC]]
*Wiring materials to make connection between motors and drives
*Wiring materials to make wiring between controller and drive
**This can be aided by various third party break-out-boards (BOBs)
===Argon based system===
With [[Argon]] a complete CNC consists:
*Argon servo drives, 1 pcs per axis 
*[[Argon user guide/Motor compatibility|Motor compatible with Argon]]
*[[Argon user guide/List of things needed|Items that are needed to set-up and operate Argon drive]]
===VSD-E based system===
With [[VSD-E and VSD-XE]] a complete CNC consists:
*VSD-E/XE drive
**If using brush-DC servo motors in DualDC mode of drive, one drive is needed per two servo motors
**If using AC/BLDC motors or brush-DC motors in single axis mode, one drive per servo motor is needed
*A compatible servo motor, see VSD-E/XE manual chapter 13 for details
*12 VDC power supply for drive logic (low power)
*12-160 VDC power supply for motor (high power). For sizing and implementation of this, see VSD-E/XE manual.
*One FTDI USB adapter is needed for configuration of any number of drives
