MB-02-V6 Bidirectional Breakout Board

US$43.00 Ex GST
US$47.30 Inc GST

The MB-02-V6 is a simple but robust breakout board that provides a convenient and safe way to interface your CNC components to your PC via the parallel port. Additionally the Breakout board may be used to connect your CNC components to a Smooth Stepper or other motion system.

The MB-02 provides screw terminals for all printer port signals. The 5Vdc power for the MB-02 can be obtained from the USB connector, pin 26 of the ICD connector or via the 3.5mm screw terminals.T he form factor of the MB-02 Breakout board PCB has been designed for easy installation. Due to its compact size, it can also be easily installed into CNC controller enclosures. The main features of the MB-02V6 Bidirectional Breakout board are;

```
Small PCB footprint 92mm(L) x 65mm(W) 
```

Four 4mm mounting holes (supplied with matching stand-offs)

```
Single 5V dc power requirements.
```

USB-B connector can be used to provide 5V supply from PC

“Common” supply terminals are selectable as 0V or 5V

Pull-up resistors on inputs and outputs ensuring known output/input states

Separate Pullups for Inputs, Outputs and D2-D9 pins

Pull-ups voltage selectable between 0V or 5V

Active high and Active low Enable inputs

All inputs and outputs are buffered and capable of supplying 24mA

Inputs can be 3.3V, or 5V logic levels

Parallel port pins D2 - D9 can be configured as inputs or outputs via jumper

DE-25 Female connector and IDC26 header for connection to PC/SmoothStepper.

Designed to work with popular CNC software such as Mach3, TurboCNC, EMC2, etc.

Designed to work with popular CNC hardware such as SmoothStepper, GeckoDrive, Rutex, etc

3.5mm terminal block connectors for easy installation and maintenance.
