Ethernet Smoothstepper CNC Motion Controller

The Ethernet Smoothstepper (ESS) CNC motion controller is manufactured by Warp 9 Tech Design (http://www.warp9td.com/). It connects to a PC via an on-board ethernet port. The ESS has 3 output ports utilizing 26-pin IDC connectors. Adapter cables can be purchased to convert the 26-pin IDC to DB-25, commonly used on many CNC breakout boards and stepper motor drivers.



The ESS replaces the older method of connecting to CNC motion control and stepper driver devices via a parallel port by creating signals designed to mimic a parallel port. The ESS is capable of the following specifications:



Maximum Step Frequency = 4 MHz

6-axis coordinated motion

Spindle control via step & direction, PWM, or discrete on/off

Up to 24 signal outputs and 16 inputs, or vice versa.
