redPOWER QUBE Cased Fiber Laser User Manual
7.6.10 SK2 – Ethernet
The Ethernet port can be used to connect the QUBE Fiber Laser to a LAN or the network port
on a single PC. The port uses standard RJ45 connectors. A standard straight through cable is
required for connection to a LAN. For direct connection to a PC a cross-over cable needs to
be used if the PC network card doesn’t support auto cross over detection.
FiberView version 3.5.2 or higher needs to be used for control of the QUBE Fiber Laser over
an Ethernet connection.
7.6.11 SK95 – FCMS
For correct operation, the plug supplied fitted into SK95 must not be removed.
7.6.12 SK99
SK99 is provided for use by SPI Lasers service personnel only.
7.6.13 Minimum Interface Connections
Initially, the minimum connections to allow the laser to operate will be to the Process cabinet
door interlock switches connector (PL81), the External Interlock and Remote Reset connector
(PL91), the cooler interlock, (PL96) and a Serial (PL1) or Ethernet, (SK2) port. The serial
interface should be connected to a PC which has FiberView software installed.
The minimum hardware connections needed to operate the laser are shown in Table 13.
Table 13 Minimum Interface Connection
If process cabinet door interlock switches are not used, PL81 pin 1 should be
linked to pin 2 and pin 3 should be linked to pin 4.
If the external interlock is not used, PL91 pin 3 should be linked to pin 4 and pin
5 should be linked to pin 6.
If the cooler interlock is not used, PL96 pin 1 should be linked to pin 2.
