Bonus! Acorn Relay Module now included with all Acorn CNC controller kit orders
Plug and Play Relay Outputs with the Acorn CNC Relay Board! Direct connection to the Acorn board with the supplied ribbon cable makes connecting and getting a relay board up and running a 5 second operation. The Plug and Play relay module allows CNC controlled connections to various CNC devices such as VFD’s, solenoids, lights, fans, pumps, motors, other larger relays and contactors in a compact format. The 8 relay module contains eight SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) high current relays (10 AMPS at 250 VAC,and 10 amps at 30 VDC) which can directly control any device rated at or below the maximum rating of the relays. If higher current devices are required these relays can then in turn control larger relays or contactors to control the higher current device! Relay module has on board LED indicator lights for each relay
(Note: A 1920x1080 wide screen LCD Display is required and a Touch Screen is recommended.)
1.) The PC CPU must have a SINGLE CORE minimum benchmark of 1500. You can look up a CPU’s benchmark # using this web site.

Notice that this is the “Single Thread” benchmarks chart.
Using a CPU with a single thread benchmark rating higher than 1500 is required
2.) While not required...it is highly recommended to use a SSD (solid-state drive) We only recommend Intel or Samsung SSD’s
3.) minimum 4 Gig’s of Ram
4.) Windows 10 that is configured for CNC control use see Step 2 below.
5.) Ethernet port
