Professional Breakout Board for Ethernet Smooth Stepper with Enhanced Features

The C25XP is a comprehensive breakout board designed to simplify wiring and expand the capabilities of the Ethernet Smooth Stepper Motion Controller. This board converts the ESS's IDC header pins into convenient screw terminals while adding integrated safety monitoring, spindle control, and status indicators for a complete CNC control solution.

Key Features:

Breakout Board Functionality:

• Converts Ethernet Smooth Stepper IDC header connections to easy-to-use screw terminals
• Ethernet Smooth Stepper Motion Controller sold separately (can be bundled at time of purchase)
• 51 total I/O pins across three ports (31 inputs, 20 outputs)
• Status LEDs for all input/output connections to indicate functioning peripherals
• DIN rail mountable design for professional panel installation

Software Compatibility:

• Compatible with Mach3 and Mach4 CNC control software.
• Works with Ethernet Smooth Stepper (ESS) plugin for Mach4.
• Includes complete configuration files and installers for seamless software integration.
• Supports Safety Charge Pump integration with Mach3/4 for system activation control.

Enhanced Safety Systems:

• Microcontroller-based Safety Charge Pump (SCHP) monitoring
