The HiCON Integra is a motion controller designed for use with Mach4 CNC software and Digital Drives (stepper/servo motors) using Ethernet communications. The HiCON Integra provides excellent integration with Mach4, proven by hundreds of satisfied end-users since 2011. The controller generates a hardware synthesized motion pulse train using state-of-the-art FPGA technology that offers extremely smooth motion profiles compared to low cost controllers in the market. The HiCON Integra is packed with a comprehensive set of features for your CNC applications, and provides an all-in-one solution for controllers and breakout boards that greatly simplifies system integration and maintainence.

Note: The HiCON Motion Controller line is intended for use with Windows 10. Prior Windows versions are unsupported.

Note: As Mach4 has become the mainstream CNC software, Mach3 Plugin development is now frozen. Mach3 will only work with 7766 and won't work with the new Integra 7866. The old Mach3 files are still available in case you like to downgrade the software on the 7766 controller. We provide tech-support for Mach4 based installations only

Most CNC applications will only require the Integra base controller. However, advanced applications can benefit from these addons:

HiCON-MACRO^[1][2]: This software feature allows the user to write custom programs (in C and BASIC languages)which can be downloaded to the controller for fast execution. Advantages of HiCON-Macro Include:

• Real-time program execution
• Ultra-fast I/O manipulation (eg. Tool Changer)
• Extends Mach 3/4 Functionality
• Run as standalone unit - No PC Required during operation

HiCON-EXTIO^[1][2]: This software feature extends the number of available I/O by enabling ports J7 and J8. Useful if the built-in inputs and outputs are not sufficient. This feature also enables Mach4 Sync Outputs (M62/M63).

HiCON-ADC^[1]: This software feature allows the use of the 2 analog inputs located on J6.

ArcPro Plasma features^[1]: M4ARCPRO software feature allows the use of ArcPro Plasma screen. 77ISO is required to read the plasma analog voltage. For packages and more information visit ARCPRO page.

INTG-CLOOP^[1][2]: This software feature allows Closed-Loop operation and enables Step/Dir channels 0-3 and Encoder channels 3-6 on J8, as well as Step/Dir channels 4-5 and Encoder channels 7-8 on J7. Using the 7737 Board greatly simplifies wiring for Encoder Feedback and Step/Dir channels on J7 and J8.

7737 Board^[2]: The pn7737 Differential Step/Direction and Encoder Board allows access to the Step/Direction and Encoder channels on J7 and J8 plugs, and allows a simple plug-and-play setup using standard RJ45/Ethernet cables. When used with Drive Interface Board (EPx-DIB) for Maxsine AC Servo Drives, this board provides almost plug and play installation. In order to use encoders for Axis Feedback purpose, 'Closed Loop Activaion' must be purchased.

7535 Board^[2]: The I/O Termination board (7535P or 7535N) provides 24 Volts optically isolated digital I/O. Each board has 16 input terminals and 8 output terminals. All I/O terminals are clearly marked for quick and easy installation. Upto two 7535 (N or P) boards can be plugged into HiCON Integra, providing additional 32 Inputs and 16 outputs (24Volts 1Amp).
