General safety instructions
Only operate the controller indoors. Protect the controller from excessive heat and moisture, including con-
densation.
Do not turn on the controller if you suspect errors or obvious damage. In this case, secure the device against
being switched on again until it is guaranteed to function properly. If in doubt, we will be happy to advise you
at any time - give us a call.

Introduction
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us by pur-
chasing the mini controller parts set. Before installa-
tion, we recommend reading through these instruc-
tions completely and then proceeding step by step
as described.
Purpose of use
The set of parts described here is supplied by So-
rotec for the construction of a three-axis control for
CNC machines, especially of the „Hobby-Line“ type.
Any purpose other than that stated is not covered by
the instructions.
Tools needed
Common hand tools such as screwdrivers of various
shapes and sizes, wire cutters, etc. should be availa-
ble. In addition, the following tools are required:
• Wire stripper
• Crimping pliers for ferrules
Danger!
Only carry out the work if you are familiar with the
necessary actions familiar and appropriate
tools are available.
Sorotec GmbH assumes no liability for damage to
property or personal injury occurring during assemb-
ly or operation of the control!
Danger!
The electrical structure described here works in the
low voltage range below 60 volts, which is harmless
to humans. Nevertheless, pay careful attention to
possible sources of error (insulation, grounding, ...)
in order to ensure trouble-free operation. Short cir-
cuits in particular can damage parts of the system or
causeres.

• Mount the fan 9to the housing 1using the
fan screws 32 as shown in Figure 4.
Note
The fan should blow into the case. The ow direc-
tion is marked with an arrow on the edge of the
fan.
• Placetheltereeceonthefancoverand

1 Front cover adapter module
• Install the cable glands in the holes in the
connection panel. The alignment of the nuts is
sometimes important, see also Fig. 15 on page
10.
• Place the 3D-printed front cover that you
received with the adapter module into the cut-out
of the connection panel. See Fig. 5.
Note
The cover is not part of the scope of delivery
for the controller. It is included with the adapter
module.

Assembly of the modules
Motherboard („MiniBOB“)
For this section you will need: #
1 Motherboard 4
4 Cylinderhead screw M3 x 6 35
4 Spacer nut M3 x 18 28
2 Spacer nut M3 x 20 29
1Fuse 2 A 18
Note
Before you touch one of the circuit boards, always
rst touch a good conductive earth connection
(e.g. a water pipe) in order to dissipate any static
charge that may be present.
• Assemble the main circuit board 4with
cylinder head screws 35 and the spacers 28
and 29 , as shown in Fig. 9.
• Insert the 2 A fuse 18 into the fuse holder.

Jumper
• Check the jumpers on the circuit board.
Without using the optional axis extension, the
jumper contacts of CH-A and CH-B should be
unassigned.Ifnecessary,youcanndtheexact
assignment in the option description on page 16.
The jumpers on the main circuit board from top
to bottom (see also Fig. 10 and sheet 4/5 of the
circuit diagram):
1. n/a
2. Probe: Tool length sensor connection to main
board (“MB” for motherboard) or to IO module
(“HomeA”, 4th channel). Default is MB.
3. LPT24: For Beamicon „HomeA“, other „GND“.
4. WDT: not used
5. AUXS: AUX selectable. The default is „OPT2“.
When using the optional IO module FC laser
alarm „OPT1“.
6. ESTOP-Signal: Type of emergency stop
release. For EstlCam and Benezan „H-active“
(default).
Attention!
Correct setting of the jumpers is absolutely essen-
tial for the correct functioning of the control. If you
have any questions, we are happy to answer them
by phone.

1 Adapter module
1 Connection cable
2 Cylinderhead screw M3 x 6 35
2 Spacer nut M3 x 20 29
Note
The adapter module and the matching connec-

Note
The assignment of the cable for the adapter mo-
dules is 1:1. Pin 26 of the Estlcam adapter module
cable is not connected. The corresponding core of
the cable is therefore severed.
