(Pin4# of DB25d) terminal. 5.2 Operation mode setting YLPM series lasers provide different operation modes according to the selection of control mode and working mode. In internal control mode, the working mode of the laser is determined by the HMI. In the external control mode, the working mode of the laser is determined by the electrical levels of Pin 15# and Pin 16# of DB25.
Operation Manual YLPM Series Fiber Laser Note: After the main power supply of the laser is started, the laser enable signal (Laser-ON) can be turned on only 5S later. 5.2.1 Internal control mode: “CW” working mode Set to "Internal Control" through the HMI software on the host computer, and then select "CW"...
Operation Manual YLPM Series Fiber Laser 5.2.2 Internal control mode: “PWM” working mode Set to "Internal Control" through the HMI software on the host computer, then select "PWM" working mode, and finally set the PWM program parameters. When the Laser-On command is activated, the output optical power is adjusted to the ION value set by the different PWM programs.
