Installation

and

Please read these operating instructions completely before you proceed with installing and
operating this product. If there are any questions regarding the contents of this manual, please
contact BJJCZ.

Steps For Safe Operation

Please observe all the safety instructions regarding a laser system(include but
not limited to the laser source, scan head and every specifics described in this
document)
Always turn on the power of this product and the power supply for the scan
head first before turning on the laser. Otherwise there is the danger of
uncontrolled deflection of the laser beam.
This product is intended for controlling a laser scan system. Therefore all relevant
laser safety directives must be known and applied before installation and operation.
The customer is solely responsible for ensuring the laser safety of the entire system.

Please observe all laser safety instructions as described in you scan head or scan
module manual, and this manual.

Carefully check your application program before running it. Program errors can
cause a system breakdown. In this case neither the laser nor the scan head can be
controlled.

Protect the board from humidity, dust, corrosive vapors and mechanical stress.

For storage and operation, avoid electromagnetic fields and static electricity. These
can damage the electronics on the product. For storage, always use the antistatic
bag.

The allowed operating temperature range is 25 10.

The storage temperature should be between 20 and +60.

Pin definition
There are 3 groups interface on LMCDYN board. CON1 is digital galvanometer interface,
CON2 is power and laser control interface, CON3 is IPG laser interface.

CON1: Digital Galvo interface

15 connector.. Also we provide a
CON1 can be connected to digital galvo directly with DB
DB1
transfer board, which can be used to transfer the digital signal to analog signal that can be
connected to the analog galvo.
Note: to use digital galvo, we need to connect the input signal NO. 3 (Pin17 of CON2)
to GND, otherwise the signal cannot be identified correctly by digital galvo.
The pin definition of CON1 is shown in figure 2.

Wiring for digital I/O

I/O that can be connect to GND
As name suggested these kind of I/O can be connected to switch and then to the ground.
SGIN0SGIN1SGIN2SGIN3 are of these kind.
The following schematics are typical wiring for these kind of signal.

Pic 2-7

wiring for general input pins

Dynamic control board User Manual

Pic 2-8

recommended wiring for general input pins

For these pins the resistor of the switch should be below 100ohm.

General input SGIN4SGIN5

The typical and recommend wiring of general input signals SGIN4SGIN5 are shown in fig
8.

Fig 8 IN4IN5

Whether to introduce R1 depends on the voltage. The goal here is to ensure that the input
current is between 10mA and 15mA. If the voltage is over 12V, we recommend a
current-limiting resistor. Assume the current you choose is 12mA, and then the resistor is
calculated as follow:

Out0/1/2 are TTL signals. Out4/5/6/ can be configured as OC outputs or TTL outputs
through jumper.
If an output is in TTL mode, The output must not be short circuited or wire to GND directly.
Otherwise the board can be damaged.
If a output is in OC mode, the typical wiring diagram is shown below, if you want to drive a
inductive instrument, the COM signal(PIN3) must be wired to the anode of the power supply.
The maximum driving current and voltage are 250mA and 40V respectively.

IV. Software manual

Note: To use dynamic focus function, user must use EzCad2.0.13 UNICODE version
(20080222) or later, and the dongle must enable the function.
1. Please refer to the following steps to setup the parameters: the field; distortion
adjust; scale adjust; the dynamic focus parameters.
2. If the field parameters are changed, please adjust the dynamic focus parameters
again.
Parameters setup in EzCad
EzCad divides the mark field into 10 concentric circles; the round center is the center of
the mark field. Each field corresponds a different Z offset value. When marking through
different fields, the software output the corresponding Z position automatically.
Run EzCad2.EXEclick Param(F3) Dynamic FocusThe setup dialog is shown as
figure 15. User can setup all Z offset values of the 10 fields, or adjust the Z offset value of one
field.

Enable Dynamic Focus: Check it to enable the function.

Dist. To center (%): The distance to the center. Shown in percent value of the maximum
marking field. Assume that the marking field is 500mm 500mm, then the maximum radius
is 250mm.

Dynamic control board User Manual

The 1st zone (10%): means the circle region with central point of the mark field as the
center of circle, and 25mm radius
The 2nd zone (20%): means the ring region, with central point of the mark field as the
center, and the radius 25mm 50mm.
Other zones is analogous
The 10th field (100%): means the region with central point of the mark field as the center
and the radius greater than 225mm.
Offset Z: Offset Z value corresponding to each zone.
Switch Automatically: If user checks this option, the software would mark the test graph
one by one in the 10 zones when the Start Test button is press down. If un-check the option,
graph would be marked only in the specified zone.
Micro adjust Z: Slightly adjust the Z offset value while clicking button Add Z and Sub Z,
or checking Auto Add/Dec Z. Add or decrease value is determined by the Micro increment in
the Advanced dialog box. If this option is not checked, the value is determined by Increment
Z.
Auto Add/Dec Z: Automatically add or decrease Z value, then mark the test graph in
specified zone. Note that if we check the Switch automatically option, this option would be
ignored. In test procedure, if Add Z button is pressed, the software would increase the Z value
automatically and continue working; if Dec Z button is pressed, the software would decrease
the Z value automatically and continue working. Once the most suited Z Value is found, you
can press Stop Test button to stop the test.
Add Z: Increase the Z value, and corresponding output voltage is increased.
Dec Z: Decrease the Z value, and corresponding output voltage is decreased.
Start Test: Start the test procedure. Move the Z axis to appointed position and mark a
rectangle there. The rectangles size can be set in the Advanced dialog box.
Stop Test: Stop the test procedure.
Save: Save the Z values to a file.
Load: Load the Z values from saved file
Update All: Update all of the Z values. The hardware output is not updated when we
modify the Z-value manually. In this case we must click this button to refresh the data.
Z Reverse
ReverseReverse the movement direction of Z axis.
Advanced: Click this button, the Advanced dialog box is shown, see figure 16.

Length of Test Rect: The size of the test rectangle that is marked in the appointed zone.
Please note that the size should be adapted with the mark field size. Assume that the mark
field is 500mm 500mm. Then the maximum circle radius is 250mm and the gap distance of
each ring zone is 25mm. So if we set the length is 30mm or greater, the rectangle would across
two or more zones. For mark field greater than 200mm 200mm, please use the default
value 10mm.
Mark Speed, Jump Speed: Set the speed that the software using in marking.
Increment Z, Micro Increment Z: Set the movement value of Z axis in test procedure.
Linear Mode: Whether using the linear interpolation arithmetic to calculate the Z values.
