  1. Control Panel to Mainboard (HMI): Connect the control panel to the HMI port on the mainboard using the provided panel mount cable.
  2. Ịnye ọkụ: Connect your machine's power supply (e.g., 24V DC) to the designated power input terminals on the mainboard. Ensure correct polarity.
  3. Stepper Drivers: Connect the X, Y, and U axis stepper motor drivers to their respective ports on the mainboard. These typically include Pulse, Direction (DIR), and +5V connections.
  4. Mmachi mgbanwe: Connect the limit switches (X, Y, U axis, and potentially Z axis if supported by your machine) to the 'LIMIT' input terminals.
  5. Laser Control: Connect the laser power supply control signals (L-AN, L-ON, PWM, Gnd) to the 'LASER' output terminals.
  6. Auxiliary Outputs/Inputs: Connect any auxiliary air assist, water protection, or other sensors to the 'OUTPUT' and 'INPUT' terminals as required by your machine configuration.
  7. USB/Ethernet: For data transfer and software communication, connect your computer to the 'PC-USB' port or 'Ethernet' port on the mainboard using the appropriate cables. A USB flash drive can be connected to the 'Udisk' port for file nyefe
