Note
The interface cables of the digital I/O interface and the fieldbus
interfaces must be connected with the ground terminals at the
cable entry system via the shielding braid.
The cables for the safety and EMERGENCY STOP circuits must
be connected with the ground terminals at the cable entry sys-
tem via the shielding braid if the cable length > 30 m.
This measure is necessary to ensure that the electromagnetic
compatibility requirements (EMC) of the laser device are met.

Sample integration 3 of a laser device with 3 laser outputs
shown above describes the properties of the sample integration
for light path 1 (LP1):
■ The laser device has 3 laser outputs controlled by shutter
switches.
■ The laser device is controlled by an external control (e.g.
PLC) via a fieldbus interface of the CPX V4 Basic.
■ In this example, the laser pulses are triggered via the real-
time interface of the CPX V4 Basic.
■ The laser light cable of LW1 is connected to a programma-
ble focusing optics (PFO).
■ The PFO is controlled and monitored by an IIO board of the
laser control unit.
■ The laser device is switched on and off via the switch-on
interface of an external control (e.g. PLC).
■ An external laser warning lamp is connected to the connec-
tor X21 of the ASV3 subassembly of the LW1.
■ The 1-channel safety circuit (X24) of the ASV3 subassembly
of the LW1 in the plugged connector is bridged by a wire
jumper.
■ The 2-channel safety circuit (X25) of the ASV3 subassembly
of LP1 is connected to an external safety contact, which is
connected to the system's EMERGENCY STOP and safety
door safety circuit via a user-supplied external safety control.
To integrate the laser device into additional systems, the
safety circuit of the ASV3 subassembly for light path 2 (LP2)
and light path 3 (LP3) can be connected in the same fashion.
■ The laser device is connected with a panel PC via an Ether-
net network. It is optionally possible to connect a PC or lap-
top instead of the panel PC.
■ The central shutter is not available for every laser device
type.
Note
The cables for the EMERGENCY STOP circuit must be con-
nected with the ground terminals at the cable entry system via
the shielding braid if the cable length > 30 m.
This measure is necessary to ensure that the electromagnetic
compatibility requirements (EMC) of the laser device are met.

Parallel I/O interface Use of the parallel I/O interface and an external control (e.g.
PLC) allows the user to:
■ request the laser device.
■ Switching the laser on and off.
■ select a laser program.
■ start and end the selected laser program.
■ evaluate important status signals of the laser device.
■ switch off the laser in the event of external faults.
■ acknowledge monitoring messages of the laser device.
■ reset the the laser device's control after a fault.
■ switch the pilot laser (if available) on and off.
Real-time interfaces Use of real-time interfaces and an external device (e.g. control
cam) allows the user to:
■ externally trigger individual laser pulses.
■ start laser pulses in real time.
Sync I/O interface The Sync-I/O interface allows the user to:
■ synchronize the sequence of a laser program to external
events.
■ synchronize the external sequences with the sequence of a
laser program.
Decentralized I/O interface The digital I/O signals of the physical interfaces X31, X32 and
X33 are redirected via OPC UA to an external control through
the decentralized I/O interface. The TruControl 1000 laser
control can neither read inputs nor set outputs when this is the
case.
Application example: TruMark Station 5000 with TruMicro Mark
2000 and the TruTops Mark® software.
Further Information The parallel I/O, real-time, sync I/O and decentralized I/O inter-
face of the CPX V4 Standard are described in detail in the inter-
face description "Digital I/O interface of the CPX – parallel I/O,
real-time, sync I/O and decentralized I/O interface of the CPX
V3 and CPX V4 Standard", doc. no.: 18-22-91-A2-BA.
You will find a detailed description of the real-time and sync I/O
interface of the CPX V4 Basic in the interface description "Real-
time and sync-I/O interface of the CPX V4 Basic", doc. no.:
18-23-04-A1-BA.
Notes
■ Further optional fieldbus interfaces can be connected to the
laser control via "TRUMPF Peripheral Bus" interface (see
interface description "TRUMPF peripheral bus, doc. no.:
18-22-12-A1-BA").
■ The functions above are also available via OPC UA (see
interface description "OPC UA for CPX", doc. no. 09-14-11-
A6-BA). An OPC UA client is connected to the Ethernet LAN
interface X6B. The OPC-UA interface is not real-time capa-
ble.
■ The interface cables of the fieldbus interfaces must be con-
nected with the ground terminals at the cable entry system
via the shielding braid.
This measure is necessary to ensure that the electromag-
netic compatibility requirements (EMC) of the laser device
are met.
The optional interface "Analog input for AEF" allows the user to
externally define laser parameters in the form of voltage or cur-
rent signals:
■ Laser pulse power
■ Pulse duration
■ Pulse frequency
You will find a detailed description of the analog input interface
in the interface description "Analog input AEF for CPX", doc.
no.: 18-21-45-BA.
The diagnostics for the TruControl 1000 laser control (CPX) sys-
tem can be displayed in the TruControl 1000 software with
every user level via the >Diagnostics >TruControl 1000 Laser
control (CPX) dialog.
