SYNTEC 6A Controller Hardware Specifications
This document is only for Engineering Department
Description:
The Syntec 6A Series Controllers are based on embedded systems architectures and are
equipped with 8-inch LCD displays and universal text key panels. The systems come with
integrated servo axes, spindles, and hand wheels. USB ports are also available on the front
panel. This series provides high stability, ease of use, and high reliability at a low price.
General Specifications:
●3-axis servo positioning and control
●Universal text key panel
●1 spindle DA (+/-10V), including one Encoder
●Dedicated matrix scan port on the operation panel
●1 dedicated hand wheel axis, including 7 IN signals
●2 USB ports are provided on the front panel, supporting hot swapping
●16 Direct Input points
●Adapter ( 100~240V AC 50/60Hz ) included
●16 Direct Output points
●Operating ambient temperature 55°C

Connector Pindefine:
External Input Interface (X1):
The controller itself provides a total of 16 I digital input signals to use with the MLC.
Direct connections can be made to various types of test and sensor devices (such as
proximity switches, micro switches, etc..) for use with the TB16IN, thereby simplifying wiring.
●This is a Source input. (Commonly known as: positive common +COM)
Internal circuit
●We also provide input terminal block modules (TB16-IN) with finished wires, which you
are welcome to take advantage of.
●If you do not wish to use TB16-IN, you can also connect your own wires.
●Standard wire lengths: 1.8M 3.5M 5.5M 8M.
●Input terminal block module (TB16-IN) support information:

External Output Interface (Y1):
Direct connections can be made to various driving switches (such as electromagnetic
contactors, relays, etc.) for use with TB16OUT, thereby simplifying wiring.
●This is a Source input. (Commonly known as: positive common +COM); each Output
has its own independent short-circuit protection. When the short-circuit protection is
triggered, the external load is cut off. The operational current allowed for each output point is
150 mA; please do not exceed this limit.
Internal circuit
●We also provide input terminal block modules (the TB16-OUT Series) with finished

wires, which you are welcome to take advantage of.
●If you do not wish to use TB16-OUT, you can also connect your own wires.
●Standard wire lengths: 1.8M 3.5M 5.5M 8M.
●Output terminal block module (TB16-OUT) support information:
Operation Panel Matrix Scan Interface (H/K):
●In terms of application, the matrix scan interface circuit is divided into the Data
16 outputs, including 8 DC transistor outputs and 8 DC/AC Relay
outputs.
The maximum allowed output for each transistor is 24V/2A; it must
be confirmed before usage that loads will not exceed these limits.
The maximum allowed DC output for the 16 transistors is 24V/2A.

●Please note that the VEXT and GND power source wirings can only withstand
voltages within the 5VDC ±10% range. We recommend using the 5V European-standard
terminal provided by the controller itself for wiring.
Please do not connect the 24VDC from the machine to the HardKey European-standard
power source terminal.
