The sending 

command is not 

accepted with NAK 

response.

The requested operation 

can be controlled only by I/

O with the current DIP switch 

setting.

To control the following commands with the serial 

communication, turn ON DIP switch No. 2 and restart the laser 

welding machine.

•  Laser pumping (LSR)

•  Shutter open/close (SHT)

•  Guide Laser (GID)

•  Laser radiation for measurement (SPT)

“Reception mode ON” 

is not set for command 

reception permission (MKM 

command).

The laser welding machine does not accept commands except 

the following unless it is in the “reception mode ON” status. For 

command transmission, set “reception mode ON” for “command 

reception permission (MKM command)”.

•  File selection by file No. (FNO)

•  File selection by file name (FNN)

•  Shutter open/close (SHT)

•  Command reception permission (MKM)

•  Laser pumping (LSR)

•  Trigger counter reset (CTR)

•  Status checking (STS)

•  Lasing trigger (MRK)

•  Position and power adjustment per trigger (SEO)

Alarm or Warning occurred.

All commands except the following are refused while alarm or 

warning is active.

When alarm occurred:

•  Status checking (STS)

When warning occurred:

•  Status checking (STS)

•  Shutter open/close (SHT) (Only for closing request, and 

readout)

•  Command reception permission (MKM) (reception mode ON 

and readout only)

Two or more command data 

are transmitted at the same 

time.

After sending the command, confirm the response data from the 

laser welding machine. Do not send the next command before 

receiving the response.
