Integrating Safety Features - Novanta v40 User Manual

INTEGRATING SAFETY FEATURES

Integrating safety features
The Integrating safety features section includes subsections:
•
Keyswitch functions
• Shutter functions
• Remote Interlock functions
V40's User I/O connector allows system integrators or end-users to integrate safety features into their
control system. V40's keyswitch, shutter, and remote interlock functions serve to enable or disable DC
power to v40's RF drive. Without power, the RF driver cannot supply PWM Command or tickle signals to
the resonator, causing the CO2 gas to remain in a zero-energy state. V40 status indicators provide users
with a quick visual indication of the laser's operational status. All power to the RF board is removed
whenever RDY or SHT indicators are Off. (Laser Ready or Shutter Open outputs open).
