etherStop interface
The front of the etherStop interface contains:
1.
BIG RED BUTTON
–
Depress this button
to emergency stop your laser. The button will
latch in the down position when pressed, twist
it clockwise to reset the switch.
2.
Reset button/Emission indicator
–
The
laser requires a reset signal to begin laser
emission after startup or after an interlock has
been opened. The emission indicator will
illuminate or flash to indicate the state of the
laser system. Refer to the “Laser Startup”
section above for details on the startup
sequence.
3.
Key switch - This key switch is part of
the remote interlock loop and must be
actuated to permit emission from your laser.
Remove this key to prevent unauthorized operation if the control station must be left
unattended.
The etherStop
interface is only part of the laser projector’s interlock and saf
ety system. In order to
close the remote interlock loop and permit laser output, the following conditions
must
be met:
1.
The key switch must be turned to the enabled position, if you cannot pull the key out of the
switch it is in the enabled position.
2.
The BIG RED BUTTON must be in the “up” position
on all connected pendants.
3.
The Laser port (green) on the etherStop pendant must be connected to the laser via either
etherStop port on the laser.
4.
The last pendant in the daisy chain must have an etherStop terminator installed in the Remote
port
5.
Once these conditions are met, the emission indicator will flash once every three seconds.
Pressing the reset button will then cause the system to enter the Emission Delay state, and the
emission indicator will flash once per second.
6.
At the end of the Emission Delay period, if all interlocks remain satisfied, the emission indicator
will illuminate solidly, and the system will be ready to emit when an appropriate control signal is
provided.
The etherStop system can control up to 10
lasers “daisy chained” together. For larger systems or
systems where chaining is not desirable, please contact us for more information on our Nexus line of
etherStop hubs.
