Chapter 1 BASIC INFORMATION The SP-ICE 2 control card contains a complete processor system for real time control of up to four scan heads and two laser units. The control card can be operated fitted into a PC or as a stand-alone unit connected through a LAN interface to a host computer.
Health) certification. CAUTION: Switch on the PC or the stand-alone SP-ICE 2 control card first, before switching on the laser system. In this way you can avoid an uncontrolled action of the laser when switching on the SP-ICE 2 control card.
Chapter 1 Customer Support The RAYLASE support services are available for your problems either in respect to the product or the accompanying manual. Before calling for support, please make sure you refer to any appropriate sections in this manual and the manuals on CD that may answer your questions.
Storage temperature: ..................-20 °C to +60 °C Humidity rel.: .................. 80%, non-condensing Fuses The voltage inputs and outputs of the SP-ICE 2 control card are guarded against overcurrent via a self-resetting fuse. Voltage input / output Current consumption 5 V laser / I/O interface 100 mA max.
Chapter 2 Overview The SP-ICE 2 control card can be easily adapted to individual requirements. For this purpose the card is equipped with connectors, jumpers and status LEDs. In the following figure these elements are shown. In the legend references to the corresponding descriptions are given.
3 kΩ ESD protection ± 10kV Analog output Amplitude 0 V to +10 V ± 1% Output current 5 mA max. Bandwidth 1 kHz DAC resolution 16 Bit Noise ratio (1 GHz) 60 dB min. RAYLASE SP-ICE 2 MN043 / v1.0.2...
Chapter 2 2.4.2 Scan Head Interface At the 25-pin D-SUB connector, a RAYLASE XY(Z) scan head can be connected. All signals are compatible with the XY2-100 standard interface with RAYLASE functional extensions. XY2-100 Signal Signal Diff.Output- SENDCLOCK Diff.Output+ SENDCLOCK Diff.Output- SYNC Diff.Output+...
2.4.3 LAN Interface The SP-ICE 2 control card is designed as LAN component. Via PCI-bus it can be controlled from the PC, in which it is installed. Connected to a LAN, it can be controlled from every other PC within the same network. Normally the total communication with the connected PCs is per- formed via the LAN interface.
Chapter 2 2.4.4 Laser Interface 2 At the 34-pin male connector add-on cards can be connected. With the additional cards, spe- cific laser interfaces can be realised. Please contact RAYLASE in case of interest. Signal Signal TTL Output /PB0 TTL Output /PB1...
Signal Polarity of Laser Modulation (LM) With a 2-pin bridge plug the polarity of the LM-signal may be inverted. The LM signal is emitted at laser interface 1 ( page 10). LM = laser modulation RAYLASE SP-ICE 2 MN043 / v1.0.2...
With the option Marking-On-The-Fly objects can be marked in motion, for example when mov- ing along a conveyor. The movement is measured via up to three position encoders. Based on these moving informations, the SP-ICE 2 control card is able to adapt the marking process to the actual motion.
2.4.7 Interface for Slave Control At this 26-pin D-SUB female connector, up to three RAYLASE SP-ICE2 slave boards can be connected. This makes it possible to operate up to four laser beam scan units with one SP-ICE 2 control card in parallel. For further information please contact RAYLASE.
SP-ICE 2 control card. If required, please contact RAYLASE. 2.4.11 Via a 2-pin shorting plug the SP-ICE 2 control card can be resetted. After a reset, the jumper has to be removed. MN043 / v1.0.2...
Via the battery, time and date is buffered. The buffer time is approximately 6 days, after the control board was been connected to a power supply or plugged in a PCI bus. For RAYLASE internal use only 2.4.15 Versa-Interface (for internal use only) The Versa-Interface is based on a SPI-interface which can be adopted to specific needs.

The SP-ICE 2 can be installed as an autonomous Card, as external device connected to a net- work or directly connected inside the PC. The according preparations for each operation are described consecutively.
3.2.1 Ethernet LAN with automatically assigned IP-Address (DHCP) The following procedure describes how to connect the SP-ICE 2 in a LAN that uses a DHCP- Server to automatically assign network addresses. This is the default configuration as shipped. The steps have to be performed only when to return to the DHCP mode.
3.2.3 Direct connection with automatically assigned IP-Address (APIPA) The following procedure describes how to connect the SP-ICE 2 directly to a PC. Thereby the network addresses for the PC and the control card will be assigned automatically in the range of the APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing).
