3.4 Analog Inputs
3.4.1 Analog Input (ANALOG-IN,
ANALOG-GND)
 0 to 5VDC (input range)
 Selects standoff height. Working
range is 1V to 4V (1V=>0.5mm;
4V=>2.0mm).
3.4.2 Analog Output (ANALOG-OUT)
 0 to 5VDC
 There are 5 different output
options available. See Section 5.6
for setting the preferences.
1. HSU Voltage:
A non-linear voltage representing
the stand-off distance between the
tip and work piece.
2. Linear Pot Voltage:
A linear voltage representing the
physical position of the FiberCUT
®
drive mechanism.
3. Electronics Temperature:
A voltage indicating the
approximate temperature of the
electronics contained in the head
(°C = V x 10).
4. Collimator Temperature:
A voltage indicating the
approximate temperature of the
collimating lens (°C = V x 10).
5. Lower Assembly Temperature:
A voltage indicating the
approximate temperature of the
FiberCUT
®
focus lens and cover
glass area. (°C = V x 10).
 The temperature reading is
NOT for the nozzle assembly
alone.
3.5 Digital Outputs
 Specifications: 5 to 24VDC, 250mA per
output
 All outputs are configurable for
sourcing or sinking depending on the
connection made to OUT-COM.
3.5.1 In-Position (IN-POS)
IN-POS indicates that the tip is within
range of the selected standoff height.
Typically IN-POS provides a
handshake back to the motion system
that the tip has reached the part and
is ready to begin processing.
3.5.2 Retracted Position (RET-POS)
RET-POS indicates the head is at the
retracted position. Typically, RET-
POS provides feedback to the motion
system indicating the head is parked
at the retracted position.
3.5.3 Tip Touch (TIP-TOUCH)
The TIP-TOUCH signal indicates that
the tip has electrically contacted the
part or an object. This can occur
during normal processing and does
not produce a fault.
3.5.4 Crash/Fault (CRASH)
CRASH indicates that the head is
currently in a crash or fault condition.
Check the STAT1 – STAT4 for
information about the crash.
3.5.5 Output Common (OUT-COM)
 Connect +V to OUT-COM for
sourcing (active high) outputs
 Connect 0V to OUT-COM for
sinking (active low) outputs.
