OVERVIEW: DTHCII to DTHC IV UPGRADEIn the following pages you will:

Open the Bladerunner Enclosure and unplug some cables and remove theDTHC/DTHCII (UBOB ) Sub-Assembly

Put in the new DTHC IV or DTHC IV Ether-Cut sub assemblyReconnect one ribbon cable (AXIS I/O) and the wires to the Table I/OMount the new Sub-Assembly module to the enclosureMake the physical connections (cables) to the devicesProceed to the connection of the software install/update using the Master

Installer .Add the 4 port hub and the in the case of the Ether-Cut setup the Ethernet

port on the PC and test communicationsOpen your old MACH Profile and retrieve the Motor Tuning (Steps per Unit,

Velocity and Acceleration for each axis. Write them down.Open the new DTHCIV or Ether-Cut profile (ICON) and put in the motor

tuning using the MACH Config menuUse the DTHCIV Manual to setup and tune the DTHC IV response and Motor

The following 12 pages are an addendum to the

DTHCIV Setup and Config Manual. This addendum is

to be used in conjunction with that manual to do a field

upgrade of the Bladerunner AIO Controller

Page:A1

CandCNC

FOR USERS THAT HAVE PURCHASED THE DTHCII TO DTHC IV UPGRADE

The frontpanel serial cable (RS232) 4 wide cable from the UBOB to the front panel is nolonger used.

DB9 RS232 serial port is no longer used

1. The upgrade to the DTHCIV consists of a sub-chassis swap rather than a module orcard level swap. This is done because the UBOB card has to be modified and setupdifferently. The Table I/O card is positioned differently to allow clearance for other cardsabove it and to allow the AC lines to the relays to reach.2. The swap is straight forward with most cables being in the same place.

Power Supply information is no longer displayed on the screen.3. . All backside communication is via theC3BUS RS485. The new DTHC IV sub-assembly comes with an RS485 input connectoron the front plate4. Once the hardware is swapped make sure MACH3 is updated to version 3.043.067or later. Never go DOWN in revision numbers. The proper revision number is in ourinstaller CD and our Manuals Page on the CandCNC website.5 The on the CD or from the website has choices for installingeither the DTHC IV (parallel port) and the Ether-Cut (Ethernet port) installer. Select theInstall menu item for what you have: Either the DTHC IV or the ETHER-CUT but NOTBOTH!6. The DTHC IV WILL NOT WORK without the C3BUS RS485 4 Port Hub installed andworking. If you already have the C3BUS 4 port Hub (aka USB to RS485 4 port hub)installed from a previous setup go ahead and run the

Master Installer # .exe

USB485 4 Port Hub installer. Itwill update drivers you need and you will have updated firmware available in theUSB_HUB4 folder on your C drive.

QUICK START NOTES for DTHCII

to DTHC IV UPGRADES

DTHC/ DTHCII to DTHCIV and Ether-Cut UPGRADE CHECKLIST¨ With the BladeRunner disconnected from power, Open the Front cover andbeing careful not to unplug front panel cables set it out of the way so you canaccess the UBOB sub-assembly module.

On your older module make note of the connections to the Table I/O module.You will find wiring locations for the older and the new REV 10/12 Table I/O card.The existing inputs for homes, limits and the AUX relay OUTPUTS will be moved tothe new sub assembly. If your wires are not color coded label each pair withmasking tape (i.e. XHome, Yhome, etc) Because the DTHC IV no longer uses theTHC UP and THC DOWN and the THC ON inputs to MACH the MACH Profile isdifferent . DO not try to run the DTHC IV or the ETHER-CUT products from anolder MP3000 or Bladerunner profile...It will not work correctly

Unplug the 25 pin Axis I/O cable from the UBOB card. It is the cable that runsback to the G251-4 motor interface card (connects to the MTA150 in largerPlazpaks and Bladerunner Servo systems). Do not pull on the ribbon cabledirectly. Work the connector back and forth in the header while pulling up to freethe cable from the PC Board header. Label the ribbon cable with a marker as“Axis I/O”

DTHC/ DTHCII to DTHCIV and Ether-Cut UPGRADE CHECKLIST

Remove the 6 front panel screws that hold the Sub-Assembly module in place

and remove the module from the enclosure and set it aside.

Mount the new module into the enclosure using the 6 self-tapping screws. Do

not over tighten.

You may need to unmount the ESS module from the sub assembly to access

the terminals on the Table I/O. To do so, remove the two front panel screws onthe ESS module and pull the ESS out of the way (IF YOU DISCONNECT THECABLES TO THE ESS USE THE CABLE CONNECTION DIAGRAM IN THISSECTION TO PROPERLY RECONNECT You can possibly damage the ESS if youconnect the cables incorrectly)

Make the cable connections from the control PC and any external modules to

your new DTHC IV or Ether-Cut system and run the Master Installer application.Use the DTHC IV Setup and Config manual to install and test the C3 Bus 4 portHub, the computer Ethernet communications port and to do the setup andcalibration of the DTHC IV.

Carefully disconnect the DC power to the UBOB card. Note the wire colors .

Most newer UBOB cards only have one DC INPUT (12VDC). If you have an olderBladeRunner that has both 12 and 5V cables running to the inputs you will notreconnect the 5 V side. Clip the exposed wire on the 5V side and insulate them

from touching each other or anything in the inside of the enclosu On most

UBOB cards the 12v input are removable screw terminals that plug onto tovertical posts. If you have that type on your old UBOB simply pull up on the screwterminals and it will unplug
