Laser Processing by External Com-
munication Control
(RS-485 CONTROL)
1 . Operation Flow
This section explains an operation flow of a laser processing by external com -
munication control (RS-485 CONTROL) .
The following methods for laser processing operations are available: control from the
laser controller (PANEL CONTROL), control by external input/output signals from the
PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) connected to the connector (EXTERNAL CON-
TROL), and control by sending a command from the connected personal computer
(RS-485 CONTROL).
At the control by external communication (RS-485 CONTROL), the original customer-
developed program is executed on the personal computer to set laser output sched-
ules and read monitor data and various types of status.
* PLC: Programmable Logic Controller This unit exerts sequence control by executing the pro-
grammed contents of control in sequence. This is often called Sequencer (product name of Mit-
subishi Electric Corporation).
