The command (code: WS) to set the control method, SCHEDULE No., safety
shutter, LD ON/OFF status, guide light ON/OFF status, automatic laser power
value transmission ON/OFF status, etc. by specifying equipment No. is ex-
plained below.
CH1/CH0 Equipment No. (CH1 = tens digit, CH0 = units digit)
SH3/SH2/SH1/SH0
Schedule No. (SH3 = thousands digit, SH2 = hundreds digit, SH1 = tens digit,
SH0 = units digit)
The data range is 0000 to 0255, and the schedule No. to be changed is en-

5: Control by external input/output signals (Output schedules are set on
the personal computer.)
* The cnt value that can be set from the personal computer is "0" and "2." If
another value or □ (space) is set, the control method cannot be changed.
It is impossible to set "Control by external input/output signals" or "Mainte-
nance mode."
* The maintenance mode is used for our engineer to perform maintenance.
Usually, this mode is not used by customer. In the maintenance mode, the
control method cannot be changed.
* When the CONTROL keyswitch is turned OFF, the control method is re-
turned to "0: Control by laser controller" (when the control by external input/
output signals is OFF).
* To change the control method, blank all the other items.
When the control by external input/output signals (EXTERNAL CONTROL) is ON
The control by external input/output signals has priority over the other control
methods. When "0" or "2" is entered from the personal computer, the control
method is as shown in the following table. The order of setting does not matter.
