2 General Information
2.1 Objective
The objective of this document is to familiarise the laser integrator with the Integrator
Development Board (IDB) for SPI’s K1.1 OEM Fibre Lasers.

2.2 Overview
Figure 2 Overview of OEM Fibre Laser with IDB
The IDB makes integrating SPI’s kW class OEM Fibre Lasers easy by minimising the number of
inputs required. The IDB is connected to the OEM Fibre Laser with three cables, as shown in Figure

2, which are available in a kit from SPI1. The laser integrator provides a 24V supply and a minimum
of three logic and two analogue inputs. These are all that is needed to control the OEM Fibre Laser.
If required the laser integrator has the ability to connect to the OEM Fibre Laser’s many analogue
and logic signals.
The IDB contains part of the laser safety circuit, including the board-mounted safety relay. The
laser integrator’s system safety interlocks must be connected to the IDB safety circuit to ensure
that the rating of the laser safety circuit is not compromised.
2.3 Introduction
The IDB has 4 basic functions:
 to provide a safety circuit certified to be PL=e that works with the shutdown relays in the
OEM Fibre Laser and the dual redundant interlock on the laser integrator’s process cabinet.
 to provide a convenient method of providing the sequence of reset pulses necessary to

reset the OEM Fibre Laser.
 to provide a simple interface to the laser integrator’s controller.
 to provide a convenient break-out location for the logic and analogue outputs from the
OEM Fibre Laser.
SPI’s OEM fibre laser incorporates several features which, when correctly integrated, protect the
user and the OEM Fibre Laser itself in the event of a fault. Those that principally protect the OEM
Fibre Laser are implemented within the OEM Fibre Laser. Those that principally protect the user
require additional action by the laser integrator to operate correctly.
Within the OEM Fibre Laser, shown as a red box in Figure 3, the current to the pump diodes
passes through the output contacts of two relays which provide safe, reliable disconnection of
high currents in safety critical situations. The shutdown relays must be integrated with the laser
integrator’s control and safety systems (cabinet door and E-stop). No power will be emitted from
the OEM Fibre Laser unless the shutdown relays are closed by the laser integrator’s control and
safety systems. Unless the shutdown relays are open the OEM Fibre Laser is not in a safe state and
it must be assumed that there is laser emission. The shutdown relays have forcibly guided
contacts, protective separation between the coil and control contacts and the output contacts, and
have the output contacts in one row. The main contacts of the two shutdown relays are connected
in series to give switching redundancy, and, to enable good diagnostic coverage to be achieved,
they have additional control contacts, both normally open and normally closed, to allow
monitoring of the movement of the main current-carrying contacts.
1 Part number PT-K00173

Figure 3 Overview of Safety and Monitoring Functions with IDB
Figure 3 shows an example of the use of the IDB positioned between the OEM Fibre Laser and the
laser integrator’s process cabinet and safety circuit. The IDB, which is connected to the OEM Fibre

Laser by three cables, is indicated by the green box. The laser integrator must provide 24V DC,
which powers the IDB and is fed through to the OEM Fibre Laser, and analogue and logic signals to
the IDB to operate the OEM Fibre Laser. In addition the laser integrator's safety circuits must be
connected to the safety relay which is incorporated into the IDB. In Figure 3 the cabinet door
interlock is shown connected directly to the IDB. If the IDB is required to respond to other safety
related control functions they first should be combined using a further safety relay, suitable for
applications up to PL=e, category 4 per ISO 13849-1 or SIL CL3 per IEC 62061, before being
connected to the IDB. In Figure 3 the E-Stop is shown connected in this manner.
It is the laser integrators responsibility to design, prove and certify the safety functionality of the
integrated laser system incorporating the IDB.

3 Installation and Operation

This section describes the integration of the OEM Fibre Laser using the IDB. Before proceeding
please refer to all sections in the OEM Fibre Laser Product Manual covering safety, environmental
and electrical specifications, component inspection and OEM Fibre Laser installation.
3.1 Installation
The installation and mounting of the IDB in the integrated laser system should
 isolate the IDB from conducting surfaces using the standoffs provided.
 use good quality screened cables to connect between the IDB and the OEM Fibre Laser. The
specified cables are recommended.
 provide strain relief to avoid any tension on the cables leading to the IDB.
 minimise the risk of mechanical damage during operation.

 be away from any possible water spillage. The IDB does not present an electric shock
hazard as the voltages on it are all below the SELV limit, but the presence of water will
damage the IDB and prevent it functioning correctly.
 allow air to flow freely

 protect it from any falling objects.
 protect it from dust accumulation.
 provide a fire barrier to the rest of the integrated laser system. Although the chance of the
IDB acting as a source of ignition is extremely low, this is good practice.
The IDB is provided with through holes at each corner to enable it to be mounted with M4 bolts. It
can be mounted in any orientation.
Figure 4 Mounting Hole Locations
The power dissipation of the IDB is less than 3W.
3.2 Required Integrator Connections

The locations of the connections to the IDB are shown in Figure 2.

3.2.1 Grounding
Figure 5 Grounding arrangement with IDB

While the IDB itself does not require grounding, for safe operation, to comply with regional
electrical codes and to reduce the possibility of interference in the control and monitoring
electronics the OEM Fibre Laser, 24V DC Auxiliary PSU, laser integrator 5V DC power supply and
Diode PSU must be correctly grounded.
A star arrangement, as shown in Figure 5, is recommended. The star is connected to the negative
terminals of the 24V DC Auxiliary PSU, the Diode PSU and the protective conductor terminal of the
OEM Fibre Laser. The OEM Fibre Laser’s protective conductor terminal is an M5 threaded hole and
requires a fixing torque of 2Nm. The connections to the 24V DC Auxiliary PSU and the Diode PSU
should be made as close to the PSUs as possible. The protective conductor shall support a fault
current of 50A. The recommended wire size is 10mm2.
3.2.2 24V Supply

The 24V supply is connected via the 4 way screw terminal J6. Terminals 1 and 2 are connected to
24V and 3 and 4 to 0V. 24V and 0V are clearly marked on the IDB. The connected power supply
should be capable of supplying 2.0A. The 24V supply also powers the control and monitoring
electronics of the OEM Fibre Laser.
The 24V supply must be NRTL2 certified and adequately protected against short circuits.
3.2.3 Safety Circuit

To ensure safe operation, the laser integrator’s safety circuit must be connected to the 4 wire
screw terminal J11 as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6 Connection of J11 Connector to Cabinet Door Interlock Switch
When connected in this way, if the cabinet door interlock is not closed then the laser cannot be
placed in the READY state. As soon as the interlock is opened the laser will stop emitting.

3.3 Logic Levels

In this section the names of electrical connections are given in bold. Logic lines are asserted by
applying a voltage in the range 2.0 to 5V and de-asserted by applying a voltage in the range 0.0V
to 0.8V. These logic levels are illustrated in Figure 8.

Figure 8 Logic Levels
3.4 Starting the OEM Fibre Laser
Figure 9 LED and Connector Identification. Terminals 1 marked by arrows
When the OEM Fibre Laser is first powered on some alarms may be triggered. This is normal. In
order to clear the alarms a sequence of pulses must be supplied to the OEM Fibre Laser. One
function of the IDB is to provide this sequence to the laser. The status of the start sequence can be
seen by the number of flashes of the “Heartbeat”. The Heartbeat may be observed as a blue LED

mounted on the IDB, indicated in Figure 9 and as an output on the customer interface. To start the
laser the following sequence should be followed:
1. Ensure that these conditions are fulfilled.
a. 24V is supplied to the IDB.
b. The cabinet door interlock is wired correctly and is CLOSED.
c. The three cables connecting the laser to the IDB are correctly attached.
d. Heartbeat is flashing with 2 pulses.
2. Apply a logic High signal to Master Reset on the user interface for a minimum of 100ms.
Once the sequence is started the signal may be removed. Provided there is nothing to
prevent the laser starting the following sequence will occur:
e. The IDB will attempt to close the safety relay on the IDB.
f. When the safety relay is closed the shutdown relays within the OEM Fibre Laser will
close.
g. The IDB sends reset pulses to the OEM Fibre Laser. This can be seen on the green
LED marked “REFLEX”, indicated in Figure 9.
h. Provided no alarms are present the red LED marked “MSTR”, indicated in Figure 9,
will be extinguished.
i. The IDB then sends the ready signal to the OEM Fibre Laser. This can be observed
by the green LED marked “RDY” next to the user interface connector.
j. Heartbeat will then flash with 5 pulses.
3. Refer to the Product Manual for full details of operation in continuous wave (CW), analogue
modulation and digital modulation modes. To obtain a CW output from the OEM Fibre
Laser:
k. Set Simmer Set to 0V
l. Set the power required by applying a voltage to Power set. The voltage should be
between 500mV and 10.0V corresponding to output powers between 50W and 1kW.
m. Set Modulate to logic High
n. Set Laser ON Request to logic High
o. Laser emission will start

3.5.2 Safety Circuit

The safety relay used on the IDB has two channels and both channels must be closed and not be
shorted together for correct operation. The safety relay will detect any fault condition and will not
close. If the safety relay does not close Heartbeat will output three flashes. On the relay body there
are LEDs for both channels of the relay marked “CH.1” and “CH.2”. (The LEDs are identified in
Figure 10.) Once the relay has successfully closed both LEDs will be illuminated. If one of the
interlock switch circuits is broken the safety relay will open but only one of the LEDs will
extinguish.
Figure 10 Safety Relay LED Identification
3.5.3 Noise
If the OEM Fire Laser shows unpredictable behaviour, there may be noise on the analogue and,
especially, digital signal lines. Ensure that screened cables are used and that the OEM Fibre Laser
and IDB are grounded as shown in Figure 5.

3.5.4 Alarms
Figure 11 Alarm Tree
Master Alarm, Internal Alarm and Optical Alarm are combinations of lower level alarms, as shown
in Figure 11.
Faults and remedial actions are described in Table 11 and in more detail in the Product Manual.
Relays Open is asserted if the shutdown relays are open. Close the shutdown relays as described in
Section 3.4 before proceeding
Pump Diode PSU Alarm is asserted if the pump diode PSU voltage is low or absent. Ensure that the
pump diode PSU is providing a voltage to the OEM Fibre Laser before proceeding.
Hardware Alarm is asserted if the OEM Fibre Laser’s internal diagnostics detect a fault. In this case,
contact SPI and do not proceed.
3.5.5 Alarms
If a alarm condition remains after the alarm clear pulses have been sent to the laser, the master
reset signal (MSTR) will still be present. To indicate this, the Heartbeat will flash four times. The
reason for the master reset signal not being extinguished will be shown by the red LEDs next
connector J4. All of these alarms are also available as logic outputs. Note that some outputs are
active low and some are active high. See the connector descriptions in Section 3.6 below for
details.
An alarm will cause the OEM Fibre Laser to shut down but will not cause the shutdown relays in the
OEM Fibre Laser or the safety relay on the IDB to open: only opening the interlock will cause the
safety relay and shutdown relays to open. If an alarm appears it may be cleared by deasserting the
Laser Reset signal on the user interface then reasserting it. The reset pulse sequence will be
applied to the OEM Fibre Laser to clear the alarm but the safety relay will remain closed.
3.6 Connector Details

The remaining connectors on the IDB may be used to provide additional monitoring of the OEM
Fibre Laser by the laser integrator’s system. Refer to Figure 9 for connector locations.

These connectors pass through the outputs of the OEM Fibre Laser. In the sections below the same
descriptions used in the OEM Fibre Laser Product Manual have been used, so that, for instance,
Internal Alarm refers to an internal alarm in the OEM Fibre Laser, not in the IDB.

3.7 Operation with Digital Interface

When the OEM Fibre Laser is connected through one of its digital interfaces – Ethernet, RS-232,
RS-485 and CAN bus - three modes of operation are available to control or monitor the OEM Fibre
Laser. (These modes are separate from the three modes of operation of the OEM Fibre Laser:
continuous wave (CW), analogue modulation and digital modulation.) The functions available using
analogue and logic signals are retained and further monitoring and control functions are added.
The mode setting is non-volatile, so the laser powers up in the mode it was in when it was turned
off.
More details of the modes are given below, with a summary of the key differences in Table 14
below.

3.7.1 Mode A
Mode A is easy to add to an existing installation which uses the analogue and logic interface, and
allows the additional monitoring channels to be read. In this mode the parameters available on the
Analogue and Logic Interface can be read back from the OEM Fibre Laser but none can be set. The

OEM fibre laser can be reset following a alarm shutdown in this mode, but this is not
recommended.
3.7.2 Mode B
In mode B the power and all other all parameters can be set and read back from the OEM Fibre
Laser but to obtain laser emission appropriate logic levels must be applied to the pins of the
Analogue and Logic Interface connector of the OEM Fibre Laser as described in the Operating
Instructions section of the Product Manual. This is to ensure that laser emission cannot be
commanded remotely.
The OEM fibre laser can be reset remotely in this mode following a alarm shutdown, but this is not
recommended.
The OEM Fibre Laser can be operated in continuous wave (CW) and digital modulation modes but
analogue modulation is not available as Power set and Simmer Set are not used.
3.7.3 Mode C
In mode C the power and all other all parameters can be set and read back from the OEM Fibre
Laser and laser emission can be commanded. Ensure that sufficient laser safety measures are in
place before using this mode.
In this mode the OEM Fibre Laser can only be operated CW.
It is not necessary to connect to the Analogue and Logic Interface in this mode, but the analogue
signals on it are still available, however the digital lines are disabled.
3.7.4 GUI
In all modes a GUI (Graphical User Interface) running on a Windows PC can be used to monitor the
full status of the laser including alarms, digital status outputs and analogue monitoring and
diagnostic outputs. For operation over the digital interfaces refer to OEM Fibre Laser Digital
Interface Manual SM-S00361 or OEM Fibre Laser GUI Manual SM-S00363.
