Figure below shows an isolated PLC output module switching the Laser Enable signal from a
+5 V source.

PLC switched Laser Enable circuit
RJ45 output circuitry
The Interface B (RJ45) connector has three user outputs that communicate laser status to the user’s control
system. As described in Table 3-6, the three outputs, Laser OK, Temperature OK, and Voltage OK are
ESD protected, but are not optoisolated. The Laser OK output is high (+5V) when lasing is possible, oth-
erwise the output goes low (0V) when a fault is detected. Temperature OK is high when laser temperature
is within limits; otherwise the output goes low if laser temperature rises above thermal limits. Voltage OK
is high when the DC supply voltage is within limits; otherwise the output goes low if an under/over voltage
condition is sensed.
Note: OEM v30 outputs are voltage sources. Each output can source only 20 mA typical, 40 mA maxi-
mum, to a ground referenced load (the ground reference, GND, is Pin 8). The control board will
be damaged if this current limit is exceeded.
The Interface B (RJ45) connector also includes a +15 VDC output voltage source, DC Out, that provides a
maximum current of 250 mA.
Table below provides RJ45 output circuit specifications while the following figure illustrates the output
circuit’s equivalent internal schematic.
