A CNC machine tool operator control panel interface board that connects to the CNCPC via a USB port. The Operator Control Panel Interface Board is intended to be an affordable, reliable, alternative to traditional methods of building CNC control operator control consoles/panels. The USB-BOB provides inputs for the most commonly used operator controls in a package that installs quickly with minimal fuss saving on wiring/installation labor and CNC controller inputs. It features inputs for three standard rotary encoders with integrated push-button, three MPG hand-wheel encoder inputs, 12 optically isolated switch inputs, and 12 open collector LED outputs. The USB-BOB can be used in conjunction with Centroid’s popular Virtual Control Panel or without.
