Important Notice: Functional Limitations

The SMC4-4-16A16B CNC Controller is a powerful standalone controller, but users should be aware of the following limitations:

1. No Power-Off Coordinate Save: The controller does not retain the current work coordinates after a power outage, requiring manual re-calibration.
2. No Power-Off Resume Function: If a power interruption occurs during machining, the progress cannot be saved, and the task must restart from the beginning.

For applications requiring continuous operations or power-outage protection, consider using additional supporting equipment.

Compatible IO Adapter Card

To enhance the functionality and versatility of the SMC4-4-16A16B, it can be paired with the V3.0 IO Output Adapter Card, which supports multiple output voltage modes to meet diverse application needs.

Features of the V3.0 IO Adapter Card

1. Supports 4 Modes:
   • PWM Mode: Outputs a 5V PWM signal.
   • 0-10V Output (VCC connected to 24V): Suitable for high-voltage control scenarios.
   • 0-5V Output (VCC connected to 12V): Ideal for low-voltage environments.
   • 0-10V Output (VCC connected to 12V): Default Mode, with the onboard potentiometer calibrated for this setting.
2. Jumper Configuration:
   • Switch between modes by connecting different jumper pins.
   • Default factory setting is Mode 4 (0-10V Output, VCC connected to 12V).
3. Calibration and Adjustment:
   • If output voltage deviates after mode changes, fine-tune it using the onboard potentiometer for accurate voltage output.
4. Compatibility with the Controller:
   • The IO adapter card integrates seamlessly with the SMC4-4-16A16B, enhancing its control capabilities.
