9 APPENDIX E - SMC-LSR-05 COHERENT C70
LASER ADAPTER
9.1 INTRODUCTION
The Coherent C70 Laser Adapter provides convenient connectivity from the SMC Laser Connector
(J18) to industrial automation-style connectors and to the RJ45 connector used with the Coherent
model C70 CO2 laser. Status signals from the RJ45 are reconditioned to drive 24V circuitry to
facilitate monitoring by a PLC. In addition, the Coherent C70 Laser Adapter provides a local laser
modulation signal that is remotely switchable and adjustable to facilitate laser alignment for CO2
lasers.
The Coherent C70 Laser Adapter has the following features:
• Direct laser signaling support via a RJ45 connector
• Reconditioning of TTL laser status signals to 24V to permit PLC interfacing
• Local laser modulation generation with remotely switchable on/off and power (duty-
cycle)
Mating connectors for the 3.5mm Phoenix Contact strips are available from many sources. The
screw-type mating connector number is MC 1,5/xx-ST-3,5 where xx is the number of pins.
