3.5 Control Box Interface
3.5.1 Terminal Block Connections
There are 3 analog outputs (HSU,
Position and Process) available
through the terminal block
connection.
Each analog output signal is
referenced to Ground.
ANALOG OUTPUTS
OUTPUT
DESCRIPTION
HSU Out
See
The HSU output signal (0-10V)
indicates the standoff distance of the
tip and the part.
In general two types of output curves
are available; linear and optimized.
Additional curves may be added
according to customer requirements.
GND
Analog Ground
Pos Out*
The Position Output signal (0-10V) is
set using FiberCUT
®
2D Monitor or
the IE interface.
~ It is scaled linearly from 0 to 30mm,
500mbar, or 100°C depending on the
assigned function.
GND
Analog Ground
Proc Out
The Process Monitor output signal (0-
10V) indicates the status of the laser
cutting process.
~ Interpretation requires significant
processing by
the user’s machine to
determine pierce through and loss of
cut values.

There is one analog input (Pos In)
available through the terminal
block connection.
ANALOG INPUT
INPUT
DESCRIPTION
Pos In
The Pos In signal (0-10V) is used to
set the position of the focus relative to
the moving nozzle assembly.
There are 4 digital outputs
(Ready, Touch, In Pos and
SVON) available through the
terminal block connection.
Each output is a solid-state
relay connected to Out Com
when active.
DIGITAL OUTPUTS
OUTPUT
DESCRIPTION
Ready
The Ready output indicates the
head is communicating, the moving
nozzle assembly is in position and
the HSU is operating with no fault
conditions.
Touch
The Touch output indicates that the
tip has contacted the part or
another conductive surface.
In Pos
The In Position output indicates that
the moving nozzle assembly has
reached the commanded position.
NOTE: This output is NOT an
indication of the tip standoff
distance.
SVON
The servo on output indicates that
the servo holding the tip is active.
Out Com
The Output Common allows users
to configure the outputs for either
sourcing or sinking.
~ Connect Out Com to 24 V DC for
“sourcing.”
~ Connect Out Com to 0 V DC for
“sinking.”
