The 6A Architecture
6A Controller Description
The Syntec 6A Series controllers incorporate embedded
system architectures with 8-inch LCD displays and standard
keyboard panels. They include integrated servo axes, spindle
axes, MPG (manual pulse generator) axes, as well as USB ports
on the front panel. This series provides low prices, high
stability, easy operation, and high reliability.
3-axis servo positioning control
2 spindle DA (+/-10V) sets, including 1 encoder set
1 set of dedicated MPG (manual pulse generator) axes,
including 7 IN points
The 6TA and 6MA come standard with 32I/32O, while the 6CA
comes standard with 16I/16O
Standard keyboard panel
Dedicated port on the operation panel for matrix scanning
2 sets of USB ports on the front panel, supporting hot
plug-and-play
Adapter ( 100~240V AC 50/60Hz ) included
Operating environment temperature: 55°C

Product Features
Easily Maintainable System Architecture
Complete System Functionality
The system provides complete lathing and milling
functionalities, a simple windows-based operating interface
that is easy to learn to use, and precise synchronous
movement interpolation, allowing users to easily produce
perfected work pieces.
Advanced Transmission Mechanism
In addition to the traditional RS-485 interface, the system also
has an advanced 10/100 MHz Ethernet port as well as
hot-swappable USB ports, which boost software transmission
speeds as well as enhance convenience and stability.
This next-generation controller is built using high-density
integration technologies and incorporates an extremely
well-thought-out design. Its compact and modular design
allows on-site personnel to easily perform maintenance with
just a single screwdriver.
6A Controller
Multi-pocketed Complex Cutting cycle
-The user only needs to enter the external appearance
of the work piece, and the CNC will automatically
figure out the cutting path and cycle
-Can be used with A, R, and C
-Can perform multi-pocketed processing with one run
of the program
Graphical Dialogue
-X/Y axis single/dual-direction surface milling
cycles
-Track-type/square-type/round-type trench
rocessing cycles
-Round-hole/angled-line hole/curved-hole
checkerboard hole drilling cycles
Processing execution
-Integrated operation environment
-Processing parameter configuration
-Program coordinate and cutting tool
configurations are made on the same page
Hand Wheel Processing Simulation
The MPG can be used to control software processing speeds
Rotate the MPG forwards/backward to move the cutting tool
forwards/backwards along its path
Turn the MPG to fast and the cutting tool will move faster along its path
Turn the MPG to slow and the cutting tool will move slower along its path
Turn the MPG to stop and the machine will stop
On line ladder
-I, O, C, S inspection page
-Real-time Ladder display
-Search for components
-The PLC can issue alert messages in
Chinese and English
Alert records
-Records 200 alert messages in the alert history, with
dates, hours, minutes, seconds, and alert content
-Capable of further displaying reason for malfunction and
methods used for troubleshooting
Parameter Settings
-Parameter group configuration
-Comprehensive descriptions of the
meaning of parameters
-Password protection
-Supports user-defined parameters
Production Records
-Provides complete records for 100 completed processing
programs, including the program name, start time, total
processing time, as well as number of work pieces
-Monitors the production rate of programs in execution
Simulation
