Capital Network Workstation Client Install


If you have Capital installed on a network, in order for the workstations to run you must also perform a network client install on each workstation.  This will prepare the station to run our programs.


The program winclient.exe contains only the components needed for a workstation to run the program from the server. It is not the entire program. If you do not have Capital installed on your server, please contact us at 517-324-9100 or email customerservice@capitalrating.com to get it.

To download Capital's network install program:

  1. Click Download WinClient Now below.

  2. When this dialog below pops up select Save. Should any security questions come up just click ok to each. File Save Dialog
  3. In the Save As dialog, browse to the drive and directory on your file server where Capital is installed. Once there save Winclient.exe. File Save Browse Dialog

Bl-mach-v1.1 D302 =link= Jun 2026

You must use a true DB25 parallel cable . Note that generic "USB-to-Parallel" converter cables often do not work for real-time CNC control.

Flexible input levels support 5V drivers for broad hardware compatibility.

To configure the board in Mach3, navigate to under the config panel and use the following parameters: Bl-mach-v1.1 D302

: Ensure your PC's BIOS is set to EPP or EPP+ECP mode for the LPT port to ensure bidirectional communication (essential for limit switches).

| Specification | Detail | | :--- | :--- | | | Mach3, KCAM4, EMC2 (LinuxCNC), Mach2, Master5, Turbo CNC, Step2CNC | | Computer Interface | 25-pin D-Sub Parallel (LPT) Port | | Power Input (Logic) | +5V DC via USB port or external supply | | Power Input (Peripherals) | +12V to +24V DC, with reverse polarity protection | | Number of Axes | 5 (X, Y, Z, A, B) | | Inputs (Opto-Isolated) | 5 (for E-Stop, Limit Switches, Probe) | | Outputs | 17 general purpose LPT ports, 1 relay (for spindle on/off) | | Analog Output | 0-10V (for VFD spindle speed control) | | PWM Output | Yes (on P1, for spindle speed control) | | Driver Compatibility | Works with 2-phase stepper drivers, common anode or common cathode | | Dimensions | Approximately 70mm x 90mm x 20mm | | Relay Specs | SRD-05VDC-SL-C, switching capacity up to 8A at 25V AC | You must use a true DB25 parallel cable

Includes a protective function against reversed power supply polarity. BL-MACH-V1.1 D302 Technical Specs Summary Specification Compatible Software Mach3 (and parallel port-based software) Axis Support Up to 5 axes (X, Y, Z, A, B) Isolation Optical coupling on all inputs Spindle Control 0-10V Analog Output & 5V Relay Peripheral Power 12V-24V DC Digital Power 5V USB (or external) Dimensions 70×90×20 mm Weight Typical Applications

The (often cataloged in component databases under technical batch or firmware identifiers like D302 ) is one of the most reliable and affordable 5-axis breakout boards available for DIY CNC builders and small-scale industrial automation. Designed to act as the bridge between your master computer and individual stepper or servo motor drivers, this board interprets commands from control software via a parallel port interface to orchestrate precise machine movement.
