Yes I've fitted loads of them and they are top notch piece of kit.
Only down side to the IP-M is if you need slaved axis then it doesn't home to independant Home switches for each motor but other than that they are excellent with industrial quality and bullet proof 24v I/O and built in speed controller. Best of all they remove the need for a BOB which can't be under estimated what an advantage that is.
Software and support is top notch has well.
I only try to use Cslabs controllers these days when building machines if the budget can run to it and even then I'll sometimes Trim else where to make it so can use if doesn't.!. . . . Recommended it in a heart beat.Last edited by JAZZCNC; 06-11-2015 at 11:01 PM.

Having just converted my Chinese 1325 from DSP to MACH3 and the CSLABS IP-S (with much help and advice from JAZZCNC) I would heartily recommend the CS-labs kit. Like having a new machine

Good to hear.
My PC sometimes freezes in the middle of a job and the motion controller rarely but however does loose communication with the PC, causing unexpected stops. So I need to replace both the motion controller and the PC.3 axis CNC/router / Alu profile frame....25mm Alu Cutting bed X=500mm Y=300mm Z=110mm.....Supported 25mm X rails ....Supported 20mm Y rails....Supported 20mm Z rails.....2.2kw Chinese WC spindle.....

I bought a gigabyte brix compact PC that I have mounted inside the control cabinet, very compact and does the job very well, very low power usage as well.

Mine cost me 180 Euro with 500gb HD and 4GB ram. didn't think it was too bad, only uses 11watt of power in standby as well. Doesn't come with OS though. (nice avatar by the way, is that your bike?)

guys quick question, if I decide to get the CSMIO-IP-M with leadshine EM806, do I have to use resistors to limit the current of pul/dir signals? it is mentioned in the driver document but is it really necessary since output is so low from the CSMIO?

I've got this controller with am882 drivers. If the am882 step and direct ports are featured with 5v then the datasheet says no resistors are needed, and on the csmio-ip-m it's says somewhere in the manual that the step and direct outputs are at 5v so I've not installed and resistors.
