CAUTION 

It is obligated by IEC/FDA/JIS that laser products shall incorporate a key-actuated master control. Actuation 

of our laser marker is basically controlled by the key switch located on the front of the controller box. 

However, in considering situations when the laser marker is operating as a part of a larger system, the laser 

marker turns on if the key switch is already in ON position, and power is supplied. In this case, be sure that 

the external system controls the operation of the laser marker with a key-actuated master control. 

In case of controlling the laser marker with the external control device, the following three connecting methods are 

applicable.

Name / Description 

Input common. In case of NPN connection, this terminal is connected to the “+ (plus)” side of power which is used for control. In 

case of PNP connection, this terminal is connected to the “- (minus)” side of power which is used for control. 

Remote input (REMOTE IN) 

This terminal is switched to ON when selecting the remote mode. (Turn it to OFF when selecting the mode other than remote 

mode.) 

The mode is being the remote mode while it remains in ON position. 

Set the DIP switch to select the remote mode with the remote input (REMOTE IN) from the terminal block. 

(Refer to “1-1-3 Shift to Remote Mode” (P.10).) 

Trigger input (TRIG. IN) 

Marking start signal. Marking is started by the edge of trigger input ON while marking ready output (READY) is ON. 

This signal also performs marking while the input is ON at even interval marking. 

Encoder input A phase/B phase (ENC.A/ENC.B) 

Encoder input at marking to movable bodies. Input up to 100kHz is possible for A and B phases respectively. 

• Use the [ENC.A] for input and connect the [ENC.B] to Input common if either of these encoders are used. 

• No. 7[ENC. A] and No.8 [ENC. B] are not used with the LP-S***W type. Do not connect externally. 

Laser pumping input (LASER IN) 

Laser pumping input. Laser is being pumped while the terminal remains in ON position. (Marking function is not available for 20 

seconds after starting pumping.) 

Shutter control input A (SHUTTER A) 

The internal shutter inside head is opened while the terminal remains in ON position. (The terminal control is available during 

shutter control Input B ON). 

Shutter control input B (SHUTTER B)/Output common (OUT COM.) 

Control by the shutter control input (A) is available during input ON. The input becomes ON by short-circuiting between X11: 

shutter control input (B) and X12: OUT COM. Normally, use these terminals in input ON. 

Do not use Shutter Input as the interlock. 

Alarm reset input (ALARM RES.) 

Alarm reset input. Removing the cause of alarm and switching the terminal to ON resets the device and automatically recovers 

the system of laser marker. 

Laser stop 1 (0V) (LASER STOP1) / Output common (OUT COM.) 

Laser stop input. This terminal is connected to the switch for the hand operated door on the device. 

Disconnecting (OPEN) between “LASER STOP -” and “LASER STOP +” closes the internal shutter inside the head to cut off the 

laser radiation. (The function relating to safety must be shut off mechanically. Therefore, wire these terminal by dry contact.) 

Laser stop 2 (A) (LASER STOP 2A) / Laser stop 2 (B) (LASER STOP 2B) / Output common (OUT COM.) 

Emergency stop input. This terminal is connected to the external emergency stop switch. Setting the Laser Stop 2 Input (A) and 

Output common to OPEN stops the laser pumping. When the Laser Stop 2 Input (B) is ON (short-circuiting between the Laser 

Stop 2 Input (B) and Output Common), control by the Laser Stop 2 Input (A) is available. (The function relating to safety must be 

shut off mechanically. Therefore, wire these terminal by dry contact.) 

At the factory shipments, the following three positions are already short-circuited by short bars. When connecting to any 

external devices, remove the short bar(s) from the terminals to be used, to connect the devices.

Control from Communication Port

3-1 Basics 

The communication port (RS-232C or Ethernet) can control the laser marker externally. This section describes the external 

control method using the communication port. 

3-1-1 Before External Control of Laser Marker by Communication Port 

� Flow 

48 

1. Check DIP Switch. 

When laser pumping/shutter control is controlled by RS-232C, check that the No.2 DIP switch is in the ON 

position. 

When laser pumping/shutter control is controlled by input terminal, turn OFF the No.2 DIP switch. 

2. Turn on the power switch for external device. 

3. Turn ON the key switch of laser marker. 

4. Coordinate the communication conditions between 

laser marker and external device. 

“3-1-4 Setting of Communication Conditions” (P.51) 

5. Set Remote Mode 

The following two methods are available to change the mode to the remote mode without turning on the remote 

switch on the controller; 1) Input the remote input (REMOTE) on the input terminal block, and 2) Turn on the key 

switch. 

(For details, refer to “1-1-3 Shift to Remote Mode” (P.10).) 

6. Externally control the laser marker. 

Control the laser marker in accordance with the description in this section. 

For communication with external devices, select either RS-232C or Ethernet port. (They cannot be used at 

the same time, or switched.) The tab selected in [Environment 3] on the environment setting screen indicates 

the valid communication port. 

The laser marker can be controlled by I/O and communication port combined. Besides the external control 

method should be decided for "Laser Pumping" and "Shutter Control" by No.2 DIP switch beforehand.

• Although the cable length between the devices is specifi ed as 100 m at maximum in the Ethernet standard, 

use of cable length below 10 m is recommended to avoid communication failure caused by noise and device 

malfunction. 

• The communication control of the laser marker through the Ethernet should be performed in a secure 

network environment. 

• Depending on the combination, there are cases where IP Address and Subnet Mask values cannot be set 

even if they are within the setting range. 

• Make sure that the IP address for the laser marker on the network is not overlapping the IP address for the 

PC. 

Otherwise, a system error occurs.

3-1-8 Communication Data Format 

Use the ASCII code basically and the shift JIS code partially as characters for communication when controlling the laser 

marker by external device. 

The characters (or character strings) enclosed with double quotation marks (“ ”) in the description below indicates that they 

uses the ASCII code. 

When using the shift JIS code, it is described in each case. 

� Command Data 

The word “command” means the instruction which is sent to the laser marker from external device. Command data is created 

with the specifi ed format. Remote control of laser marker or execution of specifi ed procedures are possible by sending the 

command data to laser marker.

CR+LF (0D(HEX) 0A(HEX)) or CR(0D(HEX)). 

Selects CR+LF or CR on the console. Refer to “2-15 Environment setting” in Operation 

Manual for the details. 

*1 A check sum can be added in case of RS-232C. 

*2 You can select [CR] or [CR+LF] for a delimiter in case of RS-232C. [CR] is fi xed in case of Ethernet. 

• The laser marker recognizes the data from the start code (STX) to the delimiter (CR or CR+LF) as one 

command data. If there exists an unnecessary character string before the start code or after the delimiter, it 

is ignored (neither an abnormal response data is returned). 

• When using the external device set by 2byte, NUL00 (HEX) can be used. 

• Add to NUL00 (HEX) before STX or after delimiter.

� Response Data 

Response data is data which is returned from the laser marker for the command sent by an external device and consists of 

the following three types. 

1. Response data for normal receiving 

The data starts with the start code “ACK”. It returns when the command transmitted is normal or the command 

processing has been completed normally. 

2. Response data for abnormal receiving 

The data starts with the start code “NAK”. It returns when the command transmitted is abnormal or the command 

processing has been completed abnormally. 

3. Readout data 

The data starts with the start code “STX”. It returns when the command transmitted is normal and the sub command 

is specifi ed to ‘R’.

3-1-9 Communication Sequence 

This chapter explains the communication (transmitting/receiving) sequence of command or response data between external 

device and laser marker. 

The sequence varies in the interrupt permission status. 

� Communication sequence at normal data setting/operation instruction 

The communication sequence where normal command/setting is transmitted from external device to laser marker is shown 

below.

� Reception timeout 

Command (Instruction/Setting Data) 

Abnormal Receiving Response (NAK) 

Reception 

Transmission 

The laser marker has “reception timeout check” function, which monitors the lapsed time of receiving the command from the 

head till the end when it receives the command from external device. The period for reception timeout is 10 seconds. If the 

telegraphic message reception has not been fully completed within the specifi ed period, the laser marker considers that any 

trouble may occur in external device or in the communication line and stops all communication process. 

The data under being received are broken. 

� Transmission timeout 

The laser marker activates “transmission timeout check” when it transmits the response data to external devices. The 

transmission timeout check monitors the whole transmission time, i.e., the time from when the laser maker starts to sent the 

response data to when the external device completely receives it. The period for transmission timeout is 10 seconds. If the 

telegraphic message transmission has not been fully completed within the specifi ed period, the laser marker considers that 

any trouble may occur in external device or in the communication line and stops all communication process. 

When the transmission timeout occurs, the whole response signal under transmission is cleared.

� Communication sequence at transmission prohibition/permission for marking status 

Generally in the communication sequence, “the laser marker returns the response to the command from external device”. 

However, the marking operation (mark end or warning under some marking conditions) timing of the laser marker can be 

checked from the laser marker when the Marking Status Sending Enable is set to on (“3-2 Communication Command and 

Function” (P.64)). 

• Communication sequence where “transmission prohibited” is set for marking status sending enable command

• The condition Nos. 31 and after cannot be set and read out. (NAK09 is returned.) 

• When the start line/end line is 31 to 99; font is 3 to 10, marking shape is proportional, arc radius and line 

width of bold character; laser power correction, speed scan correction and laser pulse cycle correction are 

out of the setting range of the LP-F10/LP-F10W, readout cannot be performed. (NAK15 is returned.) 

• At the time of setting, the character height, character width and X coordinate are converted according to the 

defi nition of the LP-S series so that they have the same layout, and at the time of readout, they are converted 

according to the defi nition of the LP-F10/LP-F10W. If any of the character height, character width and X 

coordinate exceeds the setting range in this conversion, NAK09 is returned at the time of setting and NAK15 

is returned at the time of readout. 

• In readout response, the digit of 1μm or 0.01° is rounded down. (Excluding the items with conversion 

process.) 

• When the marking shape is proportional, the kerning level should be set to level 2 that is supported by LP- 

F10/LP-F10W. 

• When the setting is performed using this command, the start point of the character string is set to the leftmost 

and the layer No. is “0”.

3-6 Notes 

3-6-1 Marking Operation and Command Transmission 

� Commands acceptable with shutter opened 

There is a restriction of command type acceptable while the shutter is opened. 

The nine commands acceptable for the laser marker while the shutter is opened are as follows: 

• Change of File No. 

• Shutter (close only) 

• Marking Mode 

• Laser Pumping 

• Counter Reset 

• Status request 

• Marking Trigger 

• Serial Offset 

• Serial Data Input 

Transmit the marking mode command (marking interruption) before either setting or reading out the command 

other than the listed above. 

� Commands acceptable during warning/alarm occurrence 

The laser marker accepts only the following commands while an alarm or warning occurs. 

• Alarm 

Status request 

• Warning 

Status request 

Shutter (close only) 

Marking mode (interruption of marking and read out of marking mode only) 

• The laser marker should be in the remote status when controlling it by the RS-232C. 

• The “shutter control” command is not acceptable when the No.2 DIP switch on the back surface of controller 


• Close the internal shutter by shutter control command or remove the cause of warning after interrupting the 

marking by marking mode setting command to release the warning (except error codes E800 to E811) by 

controlling the RS-232C. 

• An alarm can not be released by the control from the RS-232C. 

191

3-6-2 Combined Use of RS-232C and I/O Connector 

• The priority should be decided between the RS-232C and input terminal block for the commands “laser pumping” and 

“shutter control”. (They cannot be used combined.) 

• Turn the No.2 DIP switch on the back surface of controller before turning on the power to select the control (RS-232C or 

terminal block). 

• The laser radiation command (SPT), test marking (TST), guide LD indication (GID) and power check (PWM) can be 

used only when the DIP switch No. 2 is set to ON.

marker head and target surface of object are 

parallel with each other. 

Lack of parallelism may result in marking density 

variation between center and perimeter areas of 

target surface. 

Fumes may cause marking to fade. 

• Install dust collector. 

• Check that dust collector works well. 

Adjust distance between bottom surface of laser 

maker and target surface of object. 

Readjust marking conditions according to 

variations found. 

 

Distance to object may vary resulting in a change 

of marking quality. 

 

Marking quality may change. Variations in surface 

roughness include those in gloss. 

 

Slight variations may result in a change of marking 

quality. Variations in material include those in 

chemical composition.


Marking fades entirely/ 

partially. 

Marking disorder 

(Characters crushed,

Object feeder is not stable. 

Performance of laser oscillator 

deteriorates. 

There are vibrations coming from 

surrounding equipment. 

(Marking is disturbed from beginning to 

end of marking.) 

There are irregular vibrations coming 

from surrounding equipment. 

(Marking is disturbed at irregular 

intervals.) 

Start and/or stop timing of feeder does 

not match with marking operation. 

(Marking is disturbed at beginning/end 

of marking.) 

There are noises coming from 


Variations in position of objects may vary distance 

to object, resulting in instability of marking quality. 

Adjust object feeder so that position of objects 

become stable. 

Performance of laser oscillator may deteriorate 

due to aging. 

• Increase laser power setting. 

• Decrease scan speed. 

If initial marking quality cannot be reached even 

if laser power is set to 100 (upper limit), laser 

oscillator must be replaced. Contact your local 

dealer. 

Surrounding equipment such as motor and press 

may generate continuous vibrations. 

Perform vibration prevention measures. 

Surrounding equipment such as air cylinder and 

forklift may generate irregular vibrations. Perform 

vibration prevention measures. 

 

Marking trigger signal is likely to be entered before 

object is fully stopped. Marking may disturbed due 

to remaining vibration even if object is in full stop. 

Use delay timer etc. so that marking trigger signal 

turns on after vibrations are completely damped. 

 

Object is likely to start moving before completion 

of marking. 

Delay start timing of feeder or decrease scan 

speed so that marking is fi nished before object 

starts moving. 

Noises applied to head or controller of laser 

marker or lines connecting to external equipment 

may cause malfunction or marking disturbance. 

Protect laser marker against noises as follows: 

• Securely ground frame ground (FG) of laser 

marker or surrounding equipment. 

• Isolate power and signal lines from each other 

if they have been routed in parallel. 

• Shield signal line. 

• Isolate power supply for laser marker from 

other equipment. 

• Use noise cut transformer to absorb noises 

from power supply.

Pulse setting of encoder is not correct. 

Either A or B phase signal is refused. (A 

and B phase used) 

Measured number of encoder pulses 

differs from calculated one. 

Measure the number of encoder pulses and adjust 

“Number of encoder pulses”. 

Marking trigger signal is entered before current 

marking is fi nished. Do as follows: 

• Increase scan speed setting of laser marker. 

• Decrease delay distance setting of laser 

marker. 

• Reduce feeder speed. 

• Increase marking interval (interval between 

objects on feeder). 

Check setting to be sure that: 

 

Number encoder pulses = Number of pulses/mm - Twice 

 

Number encoder pulses = Number of pulses/mm - Four times 

Check that signal is applied to A and B phase 

terminals of encoder. 

Increase or decrease values in “Encoder fi ne

Increase the setting. 

 

Decrease the setting. 

Encoder is out of order. Check encoder for proper function. 

Speed changes at conveyor junction. 

Positional misalignment is likely to 

occur due to meandering motion of 

conveyor. 

If conveyors are coupled, avoid marking near 

conveyor junction. 

Secure objects to prevent misalignment.

� Communication control 

202 


Communication control 

fails 

Laser marker is not in remote mode. 

Type of connection cable used is in 

appropriate. 

Communication command is not allowed unless 

laser marker is in remote mode. 

Press Remote button on front of controller or enter remote 

mode in a manner described in External Control Manual. 

 

Use commercially available cross cable. 

(A straight cable cannot be used.) 

Laser marker has three-wire connection. (Only pins 

Nos. 2, 3 and 5 of RS-232C connector are used.) 

 

• To use an external device and the laser marker one to one, 

connect them with a commercially available cross cable (STP 

cross cable of the Category 5e or higher is recommended). 

• To use an external device and the laser markers one to 

many, prepare a hub or rooter compliant to 1000BASE-T, 

100BASE-TX, or 10BASE-T and connect them with a 

commercially available straight cable (STP cross cable of 

the Category 5e or higher is recommended). 

Connection cable is disconnected. Check for continuity using tester or the like. 

Selected communication port is 

inappropriate. 

Communication parameter settings are 

incorrect. 

Command data is not received from 

external equipment. 

Communication data format is incorrect. 

For communication with external devices, select 

either RS-232C or Ethernet port. 

(They cannot be used at the same time, or 

switched.) 

The port selected in “Environment 3” in the 

environment setting screen indicates the valid 

communication port. 

RS-232C is selected at factory shipment. 

Match communication parameter settings to external equipment. 

Communication parameter settings of laser marker 

can be viewed by selecting [Confi guration 3] from 

[Confi guration] menu. Default settings are as follows: 

 

[Baud Rate=9600bps] [IP Address=192.168.1.5]

[Parity=None] [Default Gateway=None (blank)] 

[StopBits=1bit] [Port=9094] 

[Delimit=CR] 

[Check Sum:None] 

Using commercially available line monitor or network 

analyzer, check if external equipment transmits data. 

Check if format of communication data command 

transmitted from external equipment is correct. 

• Is start code STX (02: HEX) placed at 

beginning of transmitted data? 

• Is the delimiter added to the end of the 

transmission data? ([CR] (0D:HEX) or 

[CR+LF] (0D:HEX 0A:HEX) for RS-232C, [CR] 

(0D:HEX) for Ethernet)
