1. Introduction
PoKeys products line consists of simple, easy-to-use USB and network devices with the extended list
of features making them powerful input/output devices. PoKeys57CNC features both USB and
Ethernet connectivity, giving user an option to select the preferred connection for the application.
The device is highly adjustable and as such requires no complex knowledge on device programming.
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 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.
A dedicated PoExtBus/PoNET connector can be used to extend the number of digital outputs for
additional 80 outputs in the form of either relay outputs or open-collector outputs. It can also be
used to connect various additional peripherals (e.g. PoKeysKBD48CNC pendant) and I2C sensors.
Third-party application developers that are adding the support for PoKeys devices, are encouraged to
use the supplied communication DLL that can be simply used in the different .NET framework based
applications and various other programming languages that provide support for ActiveX interface.
There is even an open-source cross-platform C library available at https://bitbucket.org/mbosnak/pokeyslib.
To aid developers that are communicating with PoKeys devices on the low-level, the extensive
documentation on device communication protocol can be downloaded free of charge from the
product webpage.

2
Supply input
Negative power supply (ground)
PoKeys57CNC requires external 6-26V power supply to be connected to the board in order for the
device to operate correctly (device may not operate according to the specifications if the external
power supply is not present). The device uses switching power converter to scale down the input
power supply to 5V. The power supply should be capable of providing at least 2.5W.
The PoKeys57CNC v1.2 features a jumper to select the power supply source. Move the jumper to
the ‘USB’ position during testing the board without the external power supply connected. Otherwise,
put the jumper to the ‘EXT’ position.

be used
DB-25 (LPT-port) IO connector
Warning: on PoKeys57CNC v1.1 the pinout is not compatible with the LPT-based stepper drivers since
the physical pin numbering sequence in PoKeys57CNC v1.1 differs from that of a real DB-25
connector. Check the pinout diagrams above.
The connector on the PoKeys57CNC v1.2 is compatible with the LPT-based stepper drivers.

6. Installation
6.1. Using USB
PoKeys57CNC is a USB 1.1/2.0 compliant device.
Step 1: Locate a free USB 2.0 port on your
computer (1) and PoKeys57CNC board (2) and
connect them with a standard USB cable.
Step 2: Connect the PoKeys57CNC board to an
appropriate power supply (3).
Step 3: Install PoKeys software
Step 4: Open PoKeys application, connect to
your PoKeys57CNC device and enable Fast USB
interface (go to Settings > Enable Fast USB
interface).
Step 5: Remove the USB cable from
PoKeys57CNC device and insert it again. The
computer will find a new device and search for
drivers. See FAQ section of the manual if driver
installation fails.
6.2. Using Ethernet - direct connection between PoKeys57CNC and computer
Network firewalls must allow all traffic on TCP/UDP port 20055 between PoKeys57CNC device and
PoKeys-related software running on a computer.
Step 1: Locate ethernet ports on your computer
(1) and PoKeys57CNC board (2) and connect
them with RJ-45 cable (standard network cable).
Step 2: Connect the PoKeys57CNC board to an
appropriate power supply (3).
Step 3: Configure your computer's network card
with a static IP address in the 192.168.x.x range
Step 4: Install PoKeys software
Step 5: Start PoKeys software, select the
PoKeys57CNC device in the list and click on
'Configure' button. Select the unique IP address
for the PoKeys57CNC device in the same range as
the computer's network card

6.3. Using Ethernet - PoKeys57CNC connected to a network with DHCP server
Network firewalls must allow all traffic on TCP/UDP port 20055 between PoKeys57CNC device and
PoKeys-related software running on a computer.
Step 1: Locate ethernet ports on your router (1)
and PoKeys57CNC board (2) and connect them
with RJ-45 cable (standard network cable).
Step 2: Connect the PoKeys57CNC board to an
appropriate power supply (3).
Step 3: Install PoKeys software
6.1. Using USB and Ethernet
PoKeys57CNC device can also be connected to computer by using both the USB and Ethernet
connection. In this case, applications will detect two instances of PoKeys57CNC devices and USB
connection will be selected by default by third-party applications.
Follow the above instructions on connecting the PoKeys57CNC device over Ethernet and USB.
6.2. Motor drivers and peripherals installation
Connect motor drivers to dedicated 10-pin axis motor connectors, marked as MOTOR1, MOTOR2 …
MOTOR8.
Connect pendant to the dedicated pendant connector.
