4.11.3 Other Manufacturer Parameters

Machine Configuration

Machine Type: In most cases, the general engraving machine should be selected and other types

used for specific purposes.

Transmission Mode: generally choose “Belt Stepping Type”, the control algorithm will be

changed a little when other types are selected.

Feeding Mode: single-way mode and two-way mode for optional. If it is single-way feeding, it is

unnecessary to check the coordinates, feeding can be conducted in the single-way mode; if it is

two-way feeding, the system will check the maximum and minimum coordinates. The odd

sequence means feeding should be done to one direction and the even sequence means feeding

done to the other direction. The initial direction for the first time can be changed through setting

the directional polarity or modifying the plus and minus values of the feeding length. This

parameter is valid only when the “Z axis function” is configured to “Drive for Feeding axes”.

Power-Off-Restart Delay: it can be set to be 0~3000ms. After the electricity grid power-off, the

power supply of the system will be not dropped to 0V at once. There is a delay during the time.

The delay value set here should basically consistent with the actual off-delay value. If the

deviation of set value is larger, on the de-energizing for continuous engraving, either the figure

processed for the second time is not closed with that before the cutoff, or it is coincided with that

too much.

Prompt

After modified the configuration parameters in the manufacturer parameters,

such as directional polarity, control mode, laser type and laser PWM frequency,

the system should be reset. Such a modification can function upon the resetting

of the system.

Enable Parameters

Enable Cover Opening Protection: If enabled this item, the controller must connect the

protection wiring, otherwise, the machine will not work.

Enable the blower: if use wind signal of output port to control the blower switch as layers, you

must enable this item, otherwise, the wind signal outputs other signal.
