IONICUBE is a 1-4 axis motherboard for IONI Servo Drives. IONICUBE provide four slots for IONI drives as well as terminals and connectors for motor power, feedback devices, I/O and SimpleMotion V2.

Features

IONICUBE has been designed multiaxis robotic systems such as CNC machines in mind. On-board features include:

• Carry up to 4 ION drives
• On-board regenerative braking resistor
• Each axis can have mechanical end switches and homing switch
• Motor holding brake drivers for each axis
• The first 26 pin ribbon cable connector is laid out so that it’s directly connectible to traditional CNC controllers (parallel port, SmoothStepper etc).
• The second 26 pin connector has extra I/O for drives and analog setpoint inputs for custom applications
• No separate break-out-boards needed
• Charge-pump input for safety
• E-stop switch input (safe torque off)
• PWM to 0-10V converter for VFD spindle
• Two relay drivers
• ARGON Servo Drive compatible encoder connector pin-out
• RJ45 connectors for SimpleMotion V2 usage and configuration
• On-board 1.5A 5V regulator to power drive logic and feedback devices
