CNC Z32 S15 Fz
Z32 Central Unit with PC-Panel dimensions. Suited for cost effective solutions with, not renouncing to Z32 high performances:
- 15" TFT Touch screen
- USB ports available on the industrial PC port
- Conneced to Master Link MLKFZ with ethernet cable
- Can be shipped together with the miniqwerty alphanumeric keyboard MKCN
- LAN connection availability and teleservice
- Solid state Hard-disk
- Available only with FlorenZ operating system, cannot host the ZFlash programming software
MKCN Mini Qwerty Keyboard
- USB connected
- Italian layou
- Long-stroke silicon keys: 86 keys + 12 function keys
The Master Link MLK-FZ card manages the data exchange between the central unit of the Z32 CNC FlorenZ Series and all the peripherals (servodrives and I/O's).
The MLK module connections are:
- RTE (Real Time Ethernet): connection with the Z32 CNC central unit
- Z-Link: optical fiber bus for digital I/O's, analog references, analog inputs, encoder inputs (2mS sampling time)
- Z-Star2: optical fiber bus for SPevo digital servodrives (250μS sampling time)

- Allows PE3 I/O modules mounted beside (see I/O Modules description)
- Manages Z-Link I/O peripherals
- Manages directly up to 8 SPevo digital servodrives through the on-board Z-Star2 channel
In case no expansion card (EXP-FZ1, EXP-FZ3) is present, up to 8 PE3 I/O modules can be connected directly to the Master-Link, like it's shown in the picture:

I/O Z-Link Modules
- The Z-Link optical fibre bus connects I/O peripherals to the Master-Link MLK
- The Z-Link is a loop optical fibre connection: departing from the Master-Link, connecting all the peripherals, and returning back to the Master Link
- Up to 25 peripherals are supported, with a mix of any type in any order
- Length of a single optical-fibre connection (between two consecutive peripherals): up to 30 m
The optical fibre, is totally immune to electricl noise. This means a complete compliace with EMC regulations.
Architecture scheme
D.Electron designs and produces digital drives for:
- 400Vac brushless motors (axes)
- 400Vac linear motors (axes)
- 400Vac torque motors (axes)
- 400Vac induction motors (spindles)
- 400Vac field-weakiening synchronous motors (spindles)
Z-Star2 drives system is composed of a power supply module that generates the 600Vdc bus and various power modules connected to the DC bus.
The communication between drives and Master-Link is done through an optical fibre connection: the optical fibre connection departs from the Master-Link, passes through all the servodrives and returns back to the Master-Link creating a loop connection, also called Z-Star2 channel.
