Command signal
The modulated Command signal applied to Series 48 lasers has three parameters: signal amplitude, base
frequency, and PWM duty cycle. By changing these parameters, you can command the beam to perform
a variety of marking, cutting, welding, or drilling operations.
The first Command signal parameter, signal amplitude, is either logic low—corresponding to laser beam
off, or logic high—corresponding to beam on. The laser off voltage, typically 0 V, can range from 0.0 V to
+0.5 VDC while the laser on voltage, typically 5 V, can range from +3.5 V to 10.0 VDC.
Base frequency, the second parameter, is the rate at which the amplitude is switched between its low and
high logic states. The standard base frequency is 5 kHz, which has a period of 200
μ
s. Maximum PWM
frequency is 20 kHz.
The third Command signal parameter, PWM duty cycle, is the percentage of the period that the Command
signal is high. If the Command signal’s amplitude (at 5 kHz) is high for 100
μ
s and low for 100
μ
s, it has a
50% duty cycle; if the amplitude is high for 190
μ
s and low for 10
μ
s, it has a 95% duty cycle. The following
figure illustrates Command signal parameters while the following table lists PWM Command signal
specifications.

Warning: Serious Personal Injury
Always use shielded cable when connecting your PWM Command signal source to PWM Input / PWM
Return inputs. In electrically noisy environments, long lengths of unshielded wire act like an antenna
and may generate enough voltage to trigger uncommanded lasing.
