Laser program
To enable laser radiation in ROBOT mode, a laser program (program
nos. 1–50) must be specified. Laser programs can be created via the
program editor LaserNet software and stored in the internal memory of
the laser (see section LaserNet program editor [}106]). If no laser pro-
gram has been set, laser program 0 is automatically activated. In this
case, the laser is emitted using the preset laser power as soon as the
corresponding signal has been applied. Upon removal of the signal, the
laser emission is interrupted.
General program
sequence
6. The input signal Request laser will be sent by the external opera-
tor control of the laser. Without this signal, all other input signals
that may be set will be ignored.
As output, the signal Laser assigned is set by the laser.
7. The input signal Laser ON switches on the laser power supply.
As output signal, Laser ON is sent when the laser power supply has been switched
on successfully and has reached its nominal output voltage.
If no failures are active, the laser outputs the signal Laser ready.
8. The input signal Program number selects a laser program.
As an output signal, Program number is sent as confirmation.
9. The input signal Program start enables the laser emission.
If no program number is set, the laser operates with program number 0.
In this case, the output power must be set via LaserNet or an external
interface (analog interface or fieldbus). The laser emission remains en-
abled as long as the signal Program start is set or until the signal Pro-
gram stop is sent. As long as a program is active, the laser sends the out-
put signal Program active. When a program is finished, the laser sends
the output signal End of Program. If a program was interrupted unex-
pectedly by a failure, the laser sends the output signal Program inter-
rupted.
