Manual for details on how to configure this behavior.
4.5.10 E-STOP (Connector JP6)
This connector provides access on the SMC base board to the laser connector J18 ESTOP_LOOP and
ESTOP2_LOOP signals. The ESTOP_LOOP pin on Connector JP6 goes to Pins 20 & 49 on Connector
J18. Likewise, The ESTOP2_LOOP pin on Connector JP6 goes to Pins 24 & 50 on Connector J18
This connector permits a PLC to access to the Interlock/Safety control signal for the laser when direct
cabling between the laser and the SMC (e.g. IPG-YLP) or SMC Laser Adapter (e.g. SPI) is used. VCC
and GND signal are provided on the connector to facilitate pulling the ESTOP_LOOP to an appropriate
state when the interlock is being bypassed.
The following figure contains the pinout drawing for the E-STOP connector JP6.
Note: There is no active monitoring by the SMC of the ESTOP_LOOP signal.
