4) Detect RF Tube Status Interface
Communicating with the FanCtrl board.
The laser status is feedback to the TL board via the FanCtrl board.
- Life led: Input voltage over 48V, always on
- Center led: RF Tube Temperature Alarm. (Poor heat dissipation can lead to high laser temperatures and laser malfunction, this led will always be on.)
- Right led: RF tube preheating, led is always on; preheating completed, led is always off.
5) 232 Serial Port
Communicate with controller board, show the working status of the some parts on the panel;
The 232 serial port on the TL board is connected to the RT-LINK on the controller
Signals transmitted via RTLink:
-
① Working status: small icons on the upper right corner of the screen.
-
② Standard and intelligent mode:
User can control the start or end delay time of exhaust and air assist. Switching the standard and intelligent mode.
- ③ Users can control the red light of red dot pointer.
- ④ Rotary connection detection.
- ⑤ Control the brightness of led lamp.
- ⑥ Emergency stop button detection, if it's been pressed, here is an alarm error on panel.
- ⑦ Flame alarm, if the heat sensor is triggered, here is an alarm error on panel.
- ⑧ Doors status detection.
- ⑨ Laser source status detection.
6) P1 Interface
Connection of door sensor checking board; Feedback of door cover status to TL control board
7) Three Buttons on the TL-Timing
- SET button: switches and manually controls OUT1-OUT7 outputs 24V.
- UP button: increases the delay time.
- DOWN button: reduces the delay time.
(Adjustable delay time for OUT3 and OUT5 24V outputs.
When the machine is energized, the set value of the Smart Mode on the operation panel is transmitted to the TL board through the controller, forcing the original value to be modified;
However, the values set by the TL board cannot be transmitted to the operator panel through the controller and modify its values.)
