Up to 16 laser units can be controlled from a single personal computer. The
equipment configuration and connector connections are shown in the following
figure.
⇒
For controlling multiple lasers by single personal computer, it is necessary to
register equipment No. (NETWORK #) for each equipment. Set equipment No.
without duplication. If duplication of equipment No. exists, a data collision will
occur on the communication line and the laser cannot be correctly operated.
⇒ The RS-232C/RS-485 conversion adapter is an option separately sold. Purchase
it as required. For details, refer to the Introduction Part, Chapter 1 "Options" on
page 27.
⇒
Prepare the program and its development environment for laser control on the
customer side.
⇒ Connect the shielded portion to FG (frame ground) inside the laser equipment
only when using the shielded cable. Do not use as SG (signal ground).
