System compatibility

Compatibility description: M.1300.6357 belongs to Giddings & Lewis PiC900 analog I/O family. Compatible with PiC900 CPU, motion control boards and Centurion series analog servo amplifiers. Widely fitted on heavy G&L horizontal boring mills.

Function

Function description: M.1300.6357 is multi-channel analog output board manufactured by Giddings & Lewis. It performs digital-to-analog conversion for PiC900 CNC system. It receives digital command data from the rack backplane and outputs stable ±10V analog voltage to servo drives and spindle control unit to regulate motor speed. Onboard filtering suppresses industrial interference for smooth analog signal output. It is legacy analog command spare for heavy G&L CNC boring mills.

Installation

Installation steps: Follow lockout/tagout safety procedure before installation. Cut off rack +5V and ±15VDC analog power. Insert M.1300.6357 board into PiC900 rack slot and secure gold finger connector. Connect shielded analog signal cables to output terminal block. Calibrate channel offset and gain via PiCPro. Power on rack, verify ACT LED status and check analog output signal accuracy.

Interface

Interface list: PiC900 backplane gold finger connector, multi-channel analog output screw terminal block,on-board POWER / ACT / FAULT LED indicators for Giddings & Lewis M.1300.6357.

Diagnostic

Troubleshooting: No analog output: Check ±15V reference power, terminal wiring or D/A channel damage. FAULT LED lit: Output short circuit, backplane communication failure or reference voltage anomaly. Signal drift: Temperature drift, poor grounding or aged analog component.
