3.8 Head-Control Cable (P4)
A straight through 14-conductor cable
(PLCAB0489) connects the FiberCUT
®
head to the controller. See
Route this cable away from high power and
high voltage wires to prevent interference.
This cable is a high-flex cable designed for
robotic applications, but minimizing the
amount of exposure to movement and
flexing can increase the life of the cable.

3.9 Remote I/O Options
The remote I/O option in the FiberCUT
®
controller simplifies the hardware
integration into the laser processing cell.
Instead of using the discrete I/O
connections in the customer I/O connector,
the integration can consist of a relatively
simple cable. Four different protocols are
available to support most industrial
networks.
Device configuration files (EDS or
GSD) and supplemental manuals are
available for download from the

Some controllers also include analog
voltage and temperature readings for
monitoring purposes. Voltages are
reported as 12-bit numbers, where 0-
4095 = 0-5V. Temperatures are
reported as hundredths of degrees
Celsius, where 0-7000 = 0.00-70.00°C.
The (4) sections that follow provide
specific data mappings for each
controller configuration.
