6. IO Port in/output

※External IO port input to the machine is at 5V, use 5mA or less.
MAGIC™-L3 has a function that outputs machine operational status via IO port and receives external signals through the IO port to control operation.

l3install12.png


To operate an external device by linking to L3 status signal output, connect the signal line to the OUT port that outputs the status to operate the external device. To activate L3 by external-device status signal, connect the external-device signal line to the IN port linked to L3 operation. The function of each IO port is as follows:

l3install13.png

Power +5V Power +5V power necessary to connect external devices
Output Laser Start Auto laser engraving start upon +5V (High) signal output from an external device
Output Laser Stop Immediate laser engraving stop upon +5V (High) signal output from an external device
Input Laser ON Signal +5V (High) signal input to an external device upon laser engraving start.
Input Laser OFF Signal +5V (High) signal input to an external device upon laser engraving end.
Input Blower On/Off Signal When the blower is ON, +5V (High) input to an external device; and, if OFF, GND (Low).
