Single ... Operation by external input signals (EXTERNAL CONTROL)
The following diagram shows the lapse of time in the case where a signal is sent from
the PLC, schedule signal is input, and then laser light is output from branch unit 1.
*1
Output when the LD power supply is started. The laser is not turned ON. Repeating ON/
OFF operation aects the lifetime of the electromagnetic contactor. Always turn this ON
when in use.
*2 2ms min. Control changeover time
*3 5s max. LD power supply start time
*4
Schedule signal acceptance time (time from a schedule signal input till establishment of
schedules) About 200 ms is required when the active heat control function (option) is en-
abled and the heat detector setting is changed.
*5 1s max. LD output preparation time
*6 150ms min. Shutter operation time
*7
Laser start signal acceptance time (time from a signal input till an output) Time from the
laser start signal till oscillation is 50 to 100 μs after the time set on the CONFIG screen.
*8 Time required for the end signal to be output after a laser output
*9
Time required for outputting a signal to indicate whether the laser energy is within the set
upper limit value (HIGH) and lower limit value (LOW) of monitor output
In *4 and *7, the acceptance time is 16 ms but can be changed to 0.1, 1, 2, 4 or 8 ms on the CONFIG screen.
In *8 and *9, the output time is 20 ms but can be changed to 30 or 40 ms on the CONFIG screen.
