Duet 3 Tool Distribution Board

$24.99

Type

In stock, ready to ship. Documentation can be found here.

This board allows for the connection of up to 4 Duet 3 Toolboards to the Duet 3 Mainboard at one time, greatly simplifying the CAN-FD bus and power wiring. 


Features:

The documentation contains more details, a summary of the feature set is here:

  • 2-way barrier strip for power in.
  • Four 2-way JST VH connectors for power out to tool boards, individually fused.
  • Two RJ11 connectors for CAN bus in/out to connect to Duet 3 main board and expansion boards.
  • Four 4-pin JST ZH connectors to connect CAN bus to four Tool Boards.
  • Four pairs of 2-pin jumpers to bypass unused tool board CAN connectors.
  • CAN bus termination jumper, for use if the CAN_OUT RJ11 port is not used.

The Tool Distribution Board is supplied with a connector pack containing the following:

  • 4 of 4-way JST ZH tails 150mm with fitted plug (CAN to tool boards)
  • 4 of 2-way JST VH housing & crimps (Power to tool boards)
  • 2 Fork connectors (Power in)
  • 9 loose 2-pin jumpers, for fitting to the CAN bypass 2-pin headers and CAN bus termination 2-pin header as required.
  • 4x M3 nylon washers for mounting holes

A loose 500mm RJ11 cable is also supplied for connecting the CAN_IN port to the Main Board, Expansion Board, or other tool distribution board.

As of May 12th, 2021, all Duet3D products purchased from Filastruder will be eligible for a 12-month limited warranty. For more information, visit http://www.duet3d.com/warranty.
