redPOWER QUBE Cased Fiber Laser User Manual
If this input is set when entering Remote Control and the QUBE Fiber Laser is in the
ON state, it will remain switched to STANDBY.
Clearing this input while in Remote Control will put the QUBE Fiber Laser in the OFF
state.
However, if this function is un-configured from the Machine Interface, the QUBE Fiber Laser
can be started using serial communications or FiberView in Remote or Local Control mode.
The Machine Interface would then be used for the Laser ON command.
Laser ON (IN1, Pin 4)
This takes the QUBE Fiber Laser from the STANDBY state to the ON state. A positive edge is
required for this input to act. If the QUBE Fiber Laser is not in the STANDBY state the input is
ignored.
If the QUBE Fiber Laser is in the ON state, and is put into Remote Control with IN0 set
and IN1 set, the state will remain the ON state.
Trigger Source Select
This needs to be defined for one of the Inputs and set to select external Trigger. If it is clear,
the internal Trigger will be used. When using external Trigger exclusively, this input needs to
be held high continuously. If this function is not defined on the Machine Interface the active
parameter set setting is used.
7.6.5.5 Laser Control Inputs
The QUBE Fiber Laser can be controlled in Remote Mode by using the inputs on the Machine
Interface. Ensure Remote Control Status is true before using any of the inputs. Connection
details are shown in Table 10.
Table 11 shows the full list of functions that can be configured to apply to any of IN0-IN6.
