This section explains the devices and connectors required for laser welding by
external input/output signals (EXTERNAL CONTROL) .
Connect the PLC to the EXT. I/O (1) or (2) connectors provided at the rear of the
main unit to control the main unit by executing the program from the outside.
Also, for preventing hazards, a remote interlock must be connected as a matter of
duty. The E-STOP connector (the REM. I/L connector when replacing our old prod-
ucts) is connected to the interlock of the door of the chamber or room for laser weld-
ing. If the door is suddenly opened, the safety shutter is closed to cut off laser light.
The plug, socket and case models of connectors are as follows.
Connector Plug / Socket Case Manufacturer
EXT. I/O (1) HDBB-25P(05) HDB-CTH(10)
HIROSE ELECTRIC CO., LTD.
EXT. I/O (2) HDCB-37P(05) HDC-CTH(10)

E-STOP HDBB-25S(05) HDB-CTH(10) HIROSE ELECTRIC CO., LTD.
⇒ Prepare a program and its development environment for laser control on the cus-
tomer side.

It is recommended to use the shielded cable for inputting and outputting the con-
trol signal.
⇒
To exhibit the shield effect, it is recommended to connect the shield of a cable to
the shield of a connector case or FG (flame ground), but it may be better not to
connect to a ground in some cases. Perform evaluation and connection to match
the operation of the overall system.
