Emco PC Turn 55 retrofit

The AC95 is the same board that was in mine. X104 is your 16 pin ribbon cable, which provides the step and direction signals to the stepper driver (in my case, the 3 phasen SM karte). Your spindle drive is going to connect through X107, in my case it was X107 and X1070 for the lenze vfd. Yours looks different, but I think it's still doable. I believe yours will wire more directly to the analog spindle IO of a 7i76 than mine did, in fact and considering mine was fairly easy, yours looks to be as well, from a schematic standpoint, anyway.

I highly recommend getting an IDC16 breakout board on amazon. It's like 14 bucks and eliminates having to strip the ribbon cable wiring. I'm doing a video series on my build, which I think will help you immensely. The stepper control hookups appear to be similar, the turret controller is the same.

This is all still really fresh in my head, so anything you have any questions on, feel free to ask. I might be able to help.

Oh and by the way, i wound up just yanking the ductwork covers and pulling out every wire that wasn't clamped to the mounting plate. It came together way easier after that :lol:

Cool , Thanks for that , the manual will make it a bit easier, I had started following the pins on the board and noting what they were connected to , but this will make it much easier and much less likely the smoke will escape.
Thanks Again

Anytime. I'd still be picking through it if emco wanted to be real pricks about it. It was nice of them to freely offer up the diagrams we both needed. I tried getting info on a prolight with a completely opposite result :lol:

yep saw you mention that on your you tube channel, some people don't understand that if they help you this time the next time someone says what should I buy , your going to favor the people that are helpful
.

I am thinking of reusing the front plate of the AC95 card, and building some Wisemuller optimate connectors onto a new pcb board behind it , that way I wont have to alter any of the original wiring , just build the control card onto the back of the AC95 face place.
