3. Setup
3.1 Interface Overview
The controller features a 1.8-inch color screen, a rotary knob, and several buttons for operation:
- FWD (Forward): Initiates forward rotation.
- REV (Reverse): Initiates reverse rotation.
- SET: Enters settings menu.
- ENT (Enter): Confirms selections.
- Knob: Adjusts parameters and navigates menus.
- LS (Limit Switch) Indicator: Shows limit switch status.
- Out (Output) Indicator: Shows output signal status.
- M:11 (Motion Mode): Displays the currently selected motion mode.
3.2 Wiring Instructions
Ensure the power supply is disconnected before making any wiring connections. The controller requires a DC 12-24V power supply.
Power Supply: Connect DC 12-24V to the designated power input terminals.
Motor Drive Connection: The controller outputs 0V pulse drive signals in a common anode (5V) configuration. Connect the pulse and direction signals to your stepper or servo motor drive according to the drive's specifications.
Limit Switches: The controller supports 4 limit switch inputs (X1, X2, X3, X4). For NPN normally open proximity switches, connect the brown wire to 24V, the blue wire to 0V, and the black wire to the respective limit interface (X1/X2/X3/X4).
Expansion Buttons: Three expansion button interfaces are available for custom control inputs.
Output Signals: The controller provides 4 output signals (Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4) capable of driving devices under 500mA, such as indicator lights or solenoid valves.
Communication Interface: The communication interface supports Modbus protocol via serial port, Bluetooth, or 485 for host computer and APP control.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Basic Operation
The controller can be operated directly using the front panel buttons and knob. The 1.8-inch color screen provides real-time feedback on motor speed, pulse count, and current motion mode.
- Adjusting Speed: Use the rotary knob to adjust the motor speed (r/min).
- Direction Control: Press FWD for forward rotation and REV for reverse rotation.
- Settings: Press SET to enter the settings menu, use the knob to navigate, and ENT to confirm.
4.2 Motion Modes
The SMC05 controller supports 20 distinct motion modes, offering flexibility for various applications. Detailed operation steps for each mode can be found in the full instruction manual (if available). Below is a summary of the modes:
| Number | Action Sketch |
|---|---|
| 01 | The motor works with [knob] |
| 02 | Keep rotating after pressing and holding the button, and release the stop |
| 03 | Press the button and keep rotating, then press again to stop |
| 04 | After pressing the button, according to the set distance (number of pulses), forward rotation arrival delay or reverse rotation arrival delay, cycle |
| 05 | After pressing the button, rotate forward or reverse according to the set distance (number of pulses) - delay, cycle, and return to zero at the end of the cycle |
| 06 | After pressing the button, rotate forward and backward according to the set distance (number of pulses) and cycle |
| 07 | Cyclic positive and negative rotation between two limit positions. Abbreviation: forward rotation to limit stop delay reverse rotation to limit stop delay |
| 08 | After the button is pressed, the forward rotation or reverse rotation - in place delay is performed according to the set time. loop |
| 09 | After pressing the button, turn forward or reverse according to the set time - delay, cycle, and return to zero at the end of the cycle |
| 10 | After pressing the button, it will rotate forward and backward according to the set time |
| 11 | Press and hold the button motor forward rotation or reverse permanent rotation, release the button - delay - return to zero |
| 12 | Press the [FWD] key and the motor will continue to turn forward to stop at limit 1. Press the [REV] key and the motor will continue to reverse until stop at limit 2 |
| 13 | Press and hold the [FWD] key, and the motor will always turn to the limit stop; (not reaching the limit position. Loosen and directly reverse) loosen the motor until the limit stops |
| 14 | Power on for automatic operation or press [start] to press the set distance for forward rotation, and then press [start] to press the set distance for reverse rotation |
| 15 | Power on for automatic operation or press [start] to press the set distance to rotate forward, and then press [start] to reverse to zero |
| 16 | Power on for automatic operation or press [start] to press the set distance to cycle forward and reverse. Abbreviation: forward delay (F-07) - reverse delay (F-08) |
| 17 | Power on for automatic operation or press the [start key] for positive and negative rotation delay cycle between two limit positions |
| 18 | Press and hold the [FWD] key to rotate forward, stop delay in case of limit 1, and stop delay in case of limit 2 in case of automatic reverse |
| 19 | Press and hold the forward and reverse adjustment positions, press the Start button to set the distance for forward rotation - delay cycle, and then press the [Start ] button to reverse the set distance - delay cycle |
| 20 | Four limit signals control the movement to four positions respectively |
4.3 PC and APP Control
The SMC05 supports dual-end control via a host computer and a dedicated mobile application, enabling real-time monitoring and operation. This allows for advanced configuration and control beyond the physical interface.

5. Maintenance
The SMC05 controller is designed for durability with waterproof and dustproof silicone buttons. To ensure longevity and optimal performance:
- Keep the device clean and free from dust and debris.
- Avoid exposing the controller to extreme temperatures or high humidity.
- Do not use harsh chemicals for cleaning; a soft, dry cloth is sufficient.
- Regularly check all wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your SMC05 controller, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Power: Verify that the DC 12-24V power supply is correctly connected and providing the correct voltage. Check power cables and connections.
- Motor Not Responding: Ensure all motor drive wiring (pulse, direction) is correctly connected to both the controller and the motor drive. Confirm the motor drive itself is powered and configured correctly.
- Incorrect Motion: Review the selected motion mode and its parameters. Ensure limit switches are correctly installed and functioning if used.
- Communication Issues (PC/APP): Check Bluetooth or serial port connections. Ensure the correct software/app version is installed and the device is properly paired/connected.
- Display Issues: If the screen is blank or flickering, check power connections. If the issue persists, contact support.
For complex issues, refer to the detailed technical documentation or contact the manufacturer's support.
