## Overview

PoKeys57CNC is a versatile CNC controller combining motor driver capabilities with advanced PoKeys device features. It supports up to 8 stepper/servo motors, offers USB and Ethernet connectivity, and includes 5 analog inputs with 12-bit resolution and filtering. Fully compatible with Mach3/Mach4 and programmable via PoBlocks, it enables sophisticated automation and peripheral control, making it a powerful choice for professional CNC setups.

## Description

PoKeys57CNC is a blend between general purpose PoKeys device and motor controller. The device is targeted primarily for controlling up to 8 STEP/DIR signal driven motors (stepper motors, servo drives, etc.) in various applications with the addition of powerful PoKeys device features. Device contains dedicated connectors for connections with motor drivers, pendants, (HD44780-compatible) LCD module, etc. In addition, 5 analog inputs with 12-bit resolution are available. The device also features four galvanically-isolated open-collector outputs and isolated 0 to 10 V analog output. The device runs the PoIL core and is fully compatible with PoBlocks graphical programming software, bringing Programmable Logic Controller to a motor controller board. PoBlocks can be used to simply automate different peripherals and interchange data with other software applications that are using PoKeys57CNC device. PoKeys USB products integrate support for virtual USB keyboard and USB joystick, which can be used to emulate a standard USB keyboard and joystick. Digital input pins can be mapped to virtual keyboard and joystick keys, while analog inputs can be mapped to virtual joystick axes. Configuration is simple by using our intuitive graphical PoKeys configuration application, where each function can also be tested.

Review: Solves many problems - Worth the upgrade from the pokeys 57u. Lots of nice periphrrals, isolated outputs, relays. Ethernet is the way to go. No more grounding issues from usb being earth.
Review: Not worth the Headache, Stay clear of this board - Wired according to Manual and verified through various video ref online including Pokeys57cnc and Mach3 ref videos from BuildYourCNC.com. Powered it up and "NOTHING"... DRO on Mach3 software move but the motor does not. There is no "Absolutely" no tech support for this product. There are various gripe online about the same problem but seems they had to figure it out themselves as well. The Manual is so confusing that I had to search online for clarification from other user. I have a plasma CNC with Arduino that works just as well without the headache. I had a Mach3 USB board on this CNC before and I thought I would upgrade but that turn out to be nothing but headache. I will be putting back the Mach3 USB board. Stay clear of this board.

## Features

- Supported by Mach4 and Mach3 PoKeys plugins
- Modbus TCP support (access to digital IO, analog inputs, encoder values, digital counters values, PWM outputs, LCD display, PoExtBus devices, matrix keyboard status),
- 28 digital inputs or outputs (software configurable) with pull-up resistors and available as virtual USB keyboard keys. There are additional 4 dedicated digital outputs,
- 5 analog inputs (12-bit) with digital low-pass filtering (4 analog inputs also include analog low-pass filter with 1.9 kHz cut-off frequency)
- third-party support via communication DLL library and extensive protocol specification document that allows porting to other systems.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with windows 10**
A: Yes, it works with Win10/64.

**Q: where can you get the connector for the estop no where to buy it in the USA**
A: e-stop wires to terminals.  We have lots of hardware for this on the cnc4pc website.

**Q: is this USB ?**
A: It has both, USB and Ethernet.  You can run it with either.

**Q: Building my cnc router. i want 4axis, automatic tool changer, electronic tool setter and control the spindle. can i do all these with this controller?**
A: Yes, you can.  Make sure you map the I/Os needed and know how to wire them.  You can use Mach4's PMC to set up the logic of the ATC.
