PMDX is now shipping the PMDX-126, an upgrade
of, and replacement for the PMDX-125 Multimode
Breakout Board.
New features include:
Inputs can now accept 24 volt PNP sensor signals
directly. Many commercial routers and other machines
that are upgrade candidates were originally delivered
with PNP proximity sensors and this feature makes it
much simpler to upgrade them. No external resistors
are required. The inputs still directly support NPN
sensors, electro-mechanical switches, and 5 volt logic
signals without external resistors or power sources
being needed.
Touch probe signal merge feature allows an active
high digitizing probe and an active low tool touch-off
probe signal to be combined into a single "probe" signal
presented to Mach or other CNC software. No more needing
to juggle software configuration based on the task at
hand. Designed to work well with the probing features
in the new MSM (MachStdMill) screen set.
Option card slot enhanced to allow for future options
that provide feedback to the host.
The K2 relay can now be reassigned to pin 14 of port 2
so it can be used even when pin 14 of port 1 is needed as
the direction control bit for a PMDX-106 or PMDX-107.
The PMDX-126 is a functional superset of, and mechanically
compatible with applications that previously used the
PMDX-125.
