This section explains the devices and connectors required for laser welding by
external input/output signals (EXTERNAL CONTROL).
Connect the PLC to the EXT.I/O (1), (2) or (3) and EMERGENCY STOP connectors
provided in the front of the main unit to control the main unit by executing the program
from the outside. EMERGENCY STOP functions to shut o the power supply of the
main unit when an emergency stop signal is received from the PLC at occurrence of
an error in another unit provided on the manufacturing line.
Also, for preventing hazards, a remote interlock must be connected as a matter of
duty. The REMOTE INTERLOCK connector is connected to the interlock of the door
of the chamber or room for laser welding. If the door is suddenly opened, the branch
shutter is closed to cut o laser light.
The plug, socket and case models of connectors are as follows.
