3.3.2 Terminal Block Connections
There are 3 analog outputs
(HSU, Aux and Process)
available through the terminal
block connection.
Each analog output signal is
referenced to Ground.
ANALOG OUTPUTS
The HSU output signal (0-10V)
indicates the standoff distance of the
tip and the part.
In general two types of outputs
available; linear and optimized.
Additional output curves may be added
to accommodate customer
requirements.
The Auxiliary Output is a user-defined
signal (0-10V) set using FiberCUT
®
2D
Monitor or the Industrial Ethernet
interface.
~ This output is scaled linearly from 0
to 30mm, 500mbar, or 100°C
depending on the assigned function.
The Process Monitor signal (0-10V)
indicates the status of the laser cutting
process.
~ Interpretation requires significant
processing with the user’s machine to
determine pierce through and loss of
cut values.
Figure 23
There is one analog input
(Lens In) available through the
terminal block.
ANALOG INPUT
The Lens In signal (0-10V) is used
to specify the target position of the
lens.
The input is scaled linearly from 0-
30mm from the Home position.
Actual travel is limited to
27.5 mm.
There are 3 digital outputs
(Ready, Touch and In Pos)
available through the terminal
block connection.
Each of these outputs is a
solid-state relay connected
to Out Com when active.
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The Ready output indicates that the
head is communicating, lens is in
position and HSU is operating with
no fault conditions.
The Touch output indicates that the
tip has contacted the part or
another conductive surface.
The In Position output indicates that
the lens has reached the
commanded position.
The Output Common allows the
user to configure the outputs for
sourcing or sinking.
~ Connect Out Com to 24 V DC for
“sourcing.”
~ Connect Out Com to 0 V DC for
“sinking.”
