Universal Serial Operator Control Logic Board
Introduction 1
INTRODUCTION
The Universal SOCLB (Serial Operator Controller Logic Board, henceforth referred to as SOCLB) is
Delta Tau’s latest innovation for the CNC industry. The SOCLB represents the latest advance in
providing industry-standard open-architecture solutions for the machine tool industry.
The SOCLB is a true USB (Universal Serial Bus) plug and play multi-purpose I/O controller specifically
designed to control machine tool front panel I/O for Delta Tau’s Advantage CNC systems. Machine tool
front panels I/O are those inputs and outputs that are commonly required to operate most machine tools.
The SOCLB interfaces to the Advantage CNC system through a single USB (Universal Serial Bus)
interface connection. This unique interface design dramatically reduces overall system wiring and wiring
complexity.
Important Notice
Delta Tau has qualified the SOCLB for operation under the Windows 98, Windows 98SE (Second
Edition), Windows ME (Millennium Edition), and Windows 2000 operating systems. The SOCLB will
not operate with Windows 3.0 and 3.1, Windows 95, Windows N.T. version 3.51, or Windows N.T.
version 4.0 operating systems. None of these operating systems support USB devices properly and will
not allow the SOCLB to operate reliably.
This manual details the software installation and normal operation of the SOCLB with the Advantage
CNC system and lists the optional hardware configurations for the SOCLB.
The SOCLB operates seamlessly with the Advantage 8xx series CNC systems. Optional interfacing is
possible with the Advantage 600 or Advantage 700 operator control switch panel with the addition of
SOCLB Option 3.
The Advantage 8xx Operator Control Panel
The standard SOCLB provides easy interfacing to the standard Advantage 8xx series of CNC systems.
The standard SOCLB features the following machine control functions:
Machine Control Function Action
Auto Mode Make pushbutton, one input
Axis Select 16 position grayscale (X, Y, Z, A, B, C, U, V, W standard)
Block Delete Make pushbutton, one input
Coolant On / Off Make pushbutton, one input
Cycle Start Make pushbutton, one input
Feed Hold Make pushbutton, one input
Feedrate Override (0 ~ 150%, Typical) Analog input, 8 bit
Jog Minus (-) Make pushbutton, one input
Jog Plus (+) Make pushbutton, one input
Machine Zero Make pushbutton, one input
Manual Pulse Generator (Handwheel) 100 pulses per revolution encoder generator
MDI (Manual Data Input) Mode Make pushbutton, one input
Optional Stop Make pushbutton, one input
Single Block Make pushbutton, one input
Speed Multiply Low (x1) Make pushbutton, one input
Speed Multiply Medium (x10) Make pushbutton, one input
Speed Multiply High (x100) Make pushbutton, one input
Spindle Forward Make pushbutton, one input
Spindle Override (50 ~ 120%, Typical) Analog input, 8 bit
Spindle Reverse Make pushbutton, one input
The Advantage 8xx and the SOCLB also feature eight user-assignable pushbuttons standard for additional
machine functionality. These inputs can have either a green or a red LED assigned to the button when
their condition is true.
