Safety instructions
Please read this section carefully before installing and using the LMCV4-FIBER-E control card. If
you have any questions about this document, please contact BJJCZ.
1. Safe operation steps
Observe all safety instructions for lasers (including but not limited to those described in
lasers, galvanometers, and related sections of this document)
Turn on the laser power at any time after turning on the computer power, LMCFIBERV4
control card power, and galvanometer power. Otherwise, it may cause damage due to an
uncontrollable laser beam.
We recommend that you use a shutter to avoid damage from uncontrolled lasers.
2. The security part of the customer's responsibility
LMCV4-FIBER-E is designed to control a laser scanning system. Therefore, all safety
instructions for the laser system should be understood and implemented by the customer. The
customer must strictly comply with the relevant safety instructions and be solely responsible for the
safety of the laser system used.
Security rules may vary from country to country. It is the customer's responsibility to comply
with all local regulations.
Please check carefully before running the software. A software error may cause the system to
stop responding. In this case, the galvanometer and laser are uncontrollable.
Please avoid damage to the board caused by moisture, dust, corrosives and foreign objects.
When storing and using the board, please avoid electromagnetic field and static electricity
damage. They can damage the electronics on the board. Use an ESD bag to store the card; wear a
well-grounded ESD-preventive glove contact card.
Please ensure that the board is stored in an environment of -20°C to+60°C. The permissible
operating ambient temperature is 25°C±10°C.

1、Overview
The LMCV4-FIBER-E dedicated marking control card is a control card specially developed
for marking machines using pulsed fiber lasers. It is connected to a PC via a USB interface.

The words "MODEL:LMCFIBER" and "REV:20141022" are printed on the upper left of the
board, as shown in Figure 1-1.

1.2 main feature

Use the DB25 socket to output the laser control signal and connect it directly to the pulsed
fiber laser through a 25-pin cable.
The galvanometer control signal is a digital signal, which can be directly connected to the
internationally accepted digital galvanometer.
Flight marking: It can be connected to the rotary encoder to detect the speed of the pipeline
in real time and ensure high-speed marking.
Support single-machine multi-card working mode. One computer can simultaneously
control 8 sets of LMCFIBER marking control cards for parallel operation. 8 sets of control
cards can process different content. [Note: Requires computer USB channel support]
Extended axis (stepper motor/servo motor) output: It can output the direction/pulse signal
of two channels to control the stepper motor (or servo motor), which can be used for shaft
rotation or splicing.
16 universal input digital signals (TTL compatible). IN0~IN13, XORG0(IN14),
YORG0(IN15). Among them, IN0~IN3 are designated as laser state input signals are
introduced by CON2 (LaserST0~LaserST3).
8 general-purpose output digital signals (TTL compatible). Out0-7 is output from the
CON5 socket. Among them, Out0~Out3 are TTL outputs; Out4-7 can be set to OC or TTL
output by jumpers.
LaserErr signal, output when the laser status is wrong, is the OC output, can be connected
to the relay.
ReMark (repeated engraving of the cached content) Signal: used for marking the same
content and requiring high-speed marking. (If the marking content contains variable text, or if
the marking content is too large to be saved in the board, it must be connected to the
general-purpose input signal.)
Compatible with USB2.0.

2、Electrical connections
2.1 Interface Description
2.1.1 power supply
The control card requires a 5V DC power supply. A 5V/3A DC power supply is
recommended. The power is connected from the 4/5/12/13 pin of the CON4 socket.
Pin CON4 Name Description
4、5 VCC +5V. Positive power supply
12、13 GND GND. Negative power supply
2.1.2 CON1 : DB15 galvanometer control
The galvanometer control signal is a digital signal that can be directly connected to the
digital galvanometer. Since the digital signal transmission protocol used by the digital
galvanometer is not exactly the same, it is necessary to confirm which transmission protocol is
used by the digital galvanometer. Our company also provides a digital to analog adapter board,
which can also be converted into an analog signal output by connecting the conversion board
to an analog galvanometer.

It is necessary to determine whether the external resistor R1 is based on the actual voltage
value of the external power supply Vin to ensure that the input current is between 10mA —
15mA. If the input voltage is greater than 12V, it is recommended to connect the current
limiting resistor R1 in series with the control card. Assuming the input current is 12mA, the
input resistor R1 is calculated as follows:

2.4.3 Output Signal Out0——Out7

The output signal Out0/1/2/3 is a TTL output, and Out4/5/6/7 can be set to an open-drain (OC)
output or a TTL output via jumper JP8/9/10/11.
The TTL output must be protected from short circuits or grounding, as this can damage the
board. When the output signal is TTL output, the output current is guaranteed to be 5mA.
When using the open drain output, refer to Figure 2-11. In particular, when connecting an
inductive load (such as an inductive relay), be sure to connect the COM signal (pin 3) to the
positive terminal of the power supply. OC output, which allows a drive current of 250mA and a
