Setting the Control Method, SCHEDULE No., Branch Shutter, etc.
The command (code: WS) to set the control method, SCHEDULE No., branch
shutter, high voltage ON/OFF status, guide light ON/OFF status, automatic laser
power value transmission ON/OFF status, etc. by specifying equipment No. is
explained below.
CH1/CH0 Equipment No. (CH1 = tens digit, CH0 = units digit)
SH1/SH0
Schedule No. (SH1 = tens digit, SH0 = units digit)
The data range is 00 to 31, and the schedule No. to be changed is entered.
For □□ (spaces), the current schedule No. in use is entered.
cnt
Control method
0: Control by control panel
1: Control by external input/output signals (Output schedules are set on
the laser controller.)
2: Control by external communication control
3: Maintenance mode
4: (Missing number)
5: Control by external input/output signals (Output schedules are set on
the personal computer.)
* The cnt value that can be set from the personal computer is "0" and "2." If
another value or □ (space) is set, the control method cannot be changed.
It is impossible to set "Control by external input/output signals" or
"Maintenance mode."
* The maintenance mode is used for our engineer to perform maintenance.
Usually, this mode is not used by customer. In the maintenance mode, the
control method cannot be changed.
* When the CONTROL keyswitch is turned OFF, the control method is
returned to "0: Control by laser controller" (when the control by external
input/output signals is OFF).
* To change the control method, blank all the other items.
When the control by external input/output signals (EXTERNAL CONTROL) is ON
The control by external input/output signals has priority over the other control
methods. When "0" or "2" is entered from the personal computer, the control
method is as shown in the following table. The order of setting does not matter.
