2.8 Accessories for the
RTC6 PCIe Board
Only hardware extensions from SCANLAB should be
used in combination with the RTC6 PCIe Board. In
addition to the RTC6 PCIe Board and its software
package, the following accessories can be obtained:
• XY2-100 Converter, page 44
• Laser Adapter, page 44
• Data Cables, page 44
• Slot Cover with 9-pin D-SUB Connector for
“2. SCANHEAD” Socket Connector, page 45
• Slot Cover with 15-pin D-SUB Connector for
“MARKING ON THE FLY” Socket Connector,
page 45
• Slot Cover with 15-pin D-SUB Connector and
9-pin D-SUB Connector, page 46

, see Chapter 17 ”Appendix B:
The UFPM Extension Board”, page 929.
• The following component can be used with
RTC6 PCIe Boards:
– “RTC5/6 varioSCAN 40 FLEX Extension”
extension board (#128683)
(2)
• The following components cannot be used with
RTC6 PCIe Boards:
– EXT1 extension board for the RTC5
(#123804)
(3)

2.8.1 XY2-100 Converter
The XY2-100 Converter (Accessory) allows the
RTC6 PCIe Board to control scan systems which are
equipped with a conventional XY2-100 interface.
2.8.2 Laser Adapter
The SCANLAB laser adapter is plugged into the 15-pin
LASER Connector of the RTC6 PCIe Board. Then a 9-
pin female D-SUB connector of this adapter provides
the same signals and pin-out as the 9-pin
LASER connector of the RTC4/RTC5. See also Section
”Laser Adapter (Accessory)”, page 76.
2.8.3 Data Cables
To connect the RTC6 PCIe Board to scan systems,
SCANLAB offers appropriate cables in a variety of
lengths – either conventional cables for electrical data
transfer or polymer optical fiber cables or optical data
transfer. See also Chapter 4.5.3 ”Data Cables
(Accessories)”, page 71).
(1) Recommended for users with ANALOG controlled
lasers, who want to achieve pixel output frequencies
> 100 kHz, see set_pixel_line.
(2) Can also be used with RTC6 Ethernet Boards. Requires
Y cable #116050 (see Figure 79) and flat ribbon cable
#105446. In addition, the customer has to supply a 1:1
cable (plug 1: identical in construction to Würth
61201023021, 10-pin, female; plug 2: see under
Notes, page 889).
(3) Developed for RTC5. Cannot be used with
RTC6 PCIe Boards due to mechanical reasons (collision
with cooling element; replacement: UFPM Extension
Board, page 929).
