Chapter 1 X8 Wire Cut System

1.1 Introduction

Software：
X8 Wire Cut Automatic Programming Software System ， Is a highly intelligent graphic
interactive software system.。Through the simple and intuitive drawing tools, will be to cut the
shape of the parts to be painted out; according to the requirements of the process, will be painted
out of the graphics layout and other processing. And then through the system processing into a
certain format of the processing procedures.
X8 Wire Cut Automatic Programming Software System （ Abbreviation X8 System ） is a
Linux platform based on cutting line coding control system, users with X8 software according to
the processing drawing graphics processing, 2D data generation line cutting, and parts processing;
in the process, the system can control the machining speed and machining parameters, the control
of different processing requirements. This method of processing graphics, is the combination of
CAD and CAM system in the field of wire cutting.The system has the operation functions which
has atuo-control of cutting speed,real-time show during the cutting,preview of processing etc.At
the same time,the system can provide complete protection of all kinds of emergency,out of opwer
system halted etc. To avold reject the workpiece.
Hardware：
X8 wire cutting automatic programming software system hardware by the independent
development of the embedded system, dedicated to the high frequency of the main chip 800MHz,
carried out a special optimization for large data operations., The hardware of the whole system is
optimized and the power consumption is very low, only about 5W. Sealed by a special fully
enclosed aluminum box, in the harsh environment of the line cutting processing site, high stability,
excellent performance.

2、the direction of XYUV 4 axis can be adjustable,the drive motor can beset at 5-phase
3、Real-time monitor the processing status of X、Y、U、V axis on machine；
4、Preview of processing ,real-time show processing,The processing graphic can be
5、Can be used for the multiple-process,if bring the maintainable function of process
6、Adopt 4 axis linkage control technic to process taper workplace, process the top and
7、Support auto-alarm,system will alarm when the processing finished or emergency,the
8、Support time-delay for clear angle,delay time when processing the angle of the
9、Support pitch compensation: can sub-compensate the pitch error of machine.
10、Save the processing status auto matically when power off,continue to work when
need to set the processing technics for the graphic;meanwhile ,support 3B and G-Code
generated by other software.All kinds of processing ways can be comblned together
flexibility (processing ways include Continuous,single
segment,forward,Converse,Reverse etc.)

2.X8_L Interface
Note:1. Pin 21,22,24,25 is used for five-phase stepper motor,not suitable for three-phase stepper
motors.
2. Pin 13 high frequency switch:connects to a relay touch point in card.The relay touch
points are closed(or opened when change jump HFJ5),when high-frequency is opened.And vice
versa when high-frequency is turned off.
3. Pin 17 machine off:connects to a relay touch point in Card,as starting-up the contacts
are normally open (Change Jump StopJ7 to normally closed state),when machining is finishing the
contacts will be connected for four seconds and then disconnected. When connected,it connects to
0V.
4. Pin 14 18 19 connected to a DC12V from outside.
5. Pin 15 not used for factory setting,can be used for another machine off switch point.
