Technical SpecificationsModel：M.1017.3888 (Alternate PN:503-26683-01) Brand：Giddings & Lewis Product Type: Rack mount MMC Ethernet option communication module for PiC900 CNC system

Module Feature:Function: MMC Ethernet network interface module for G&L PiC900 CNC platform, provides TCP/IP network connection for program upload/download, parameter backup, remote fault diagnosis and controller data exchange for heavy horizontal boring mills and machining centers. Interface: 10/100Mbps Ethernet RJ45 port + auxiliary serial port Onboard network processor for industrial Ethernet protocol handling Supports PiCPro software connection over LAN Data exchange with MMC motion control boards via backplane bus LED indicators: OK, LINK, ACT, FAULT diagnostic status lights Hardware self-diagnosis: Link integrity detection, packet error check, backplane communication test Programming software: PiCPro for IP address configuration, network parameter setup and module diagnosis

Electrical ParametersRated supply:24VDC control power Power consumption:Max 4.2W

Mechanical & Structure:Mounting:Cabinet rack slot mount Weight:0.75kg Protection class:IP20

Environmental:Operating temperature:0℃ ~ +50℃ Ambient humidity:5~85% non-condensing Certification:CE Status:Manufacturer discontinued legacy MMC Ethernet communication module

System compatibilityM.1017.3888 belongs to Giddings & Lewis MMC motion control family. Compatible with PiC900 CPU, MMC multi-axis motion boards and PiC900 rack backplane. Widely fitted on G&L 70A horizontal boring mills and PMC CNC boring machines.

FunctionM.1017.3888 is MMC Ethernet option module manufactured by Giddings & Lewis. It serves as the network gateway for PiC900 CNC system. It establishes TCP/IP connection between CNC controller and host computer. Users can transfer G-code part programs, backup/restore machine parameters and read system alarm logs remotely via Ethernet. The module exchanges network data with MMC motion control cards through rack backplane bus. It is a critical network spare part for legacy heavy G&L CNC machine tools.

InstallationFollow lockout/tagout safety procedure before installation. Cut off module 24VDC control power. Mount M.1017.3888 into cabinet rack slot. Connect 24VDC control wiring and RJ45 Ethernet cable. Configure static IP address and network parameters via PiCPro. Power on module, verify LINK/ACT indicator and test file transfer function.

Interface24VDC terminal block,RJ45 ethernet port,auxiliary serial port,backplane gold finger connector,on-board OK / LINK / ACT / FAULT LED indicators for Giddings & Lewis M.1017.3888.

DiagnosticNo network link:Check Ethernet cable, switch port or IP address conflict. FAULT LED lit:Backplane communication failure or onboard hardware fault. Slow or interrupted file transfer:Network cable quality issue or incorrect network configuration.
