This chapter contains important information about equipment

and measures for your safety. Carefully read through the Safety
chapter, before starting the work with the laser unit.
1.1 Definitions
Danger zone ... ... is the area within and around the machine in which the
safety or health of a person is at risk by staying in this area.
The danger zone must be secured by a relevant safety device.
User ... is the person in whose premises the machine is installed,

operated and removed.
Personnel ... are the persons responsible for the transport, installation,
start-up and decommissioning, operation and maintenance (main-
tenance including cleaning and troubleshooting).
Laser marking system ...is the part of the laser system that contains the laser which is
used to depict characters and graphics elements with vector ori-
entation on the surface of the workpieces.
Laser source is a subsystem of a laser system which can be used to gener-

ate, control, and guide the laser beam for use at the beam emis-
sion opening.
Laser system is a laser marking system or a laser source as incomplete

machines1, that must be assembled with a laser unit to comply
with the authorized use.
Laser classes This laser system can have two laser classes. The class of a
laser unit, in terms of the "Laser radiation" accident prevention
regulations, indicates the potential of danger due to the accessi-
bility of the laser radiation according to the following defined
classifications:
Class 1 The accessible laser radiation is harmless.
Class 4 The accessible laser radiation is very dangerous to the eyes

and dangerous to the skin. Diffused radiation can also be dan-
gerous. There is a danger of fire or explosion caused by laser
radiation.

5. Dangerousness of the laser systems
The laser unit is equipped with safety devices and underwent a

safety test.
Despite this, operating errors, misuse or unauthorized use may

lead to danger:
■ causing serious injury or death of the operator.
■ to the laser unit and other property of the user.
Specific hazards You will learn how to protect yourself against these specific haz-
ards:
■ Dangers due to laser radiation.
■ Dangers due to electrical energy.
■ Dangers due to gas and particle emissions.
■ Dangers due to the combination of hazards.
5.1 Hazards due to laser radiation
An important aspect of the regulations is the classification of the

laser systems and laser units into certain laser safety classes
depending on the dangers through the laser radiation emitted
(see "Definitions", pg. 1‐3).
Lasers generate intensive radiation in the invisible or visible
spectral range. Both types of laser radiation can damage your
eyes and skin.

5.2 Hazards at the laser beam opening
The laser beam is emitted from the laser beam emission open-
ing at the laser marking system. The laser beam cannot be emit-
ted from any other position providing all covers of the laser
head are closed.
1‐16 Dangerousness of the laser systems 2018-08 MA-EN-370

Note
The scattered radiation from a laser marking system with visible
or invisible wavelengths is not dangerous, even when the shut-
ter module on the laser head is closed. In this condition, the
laser marking system meets the requirements of operation
according to laser class 1 without restrictions.
The laser beam and its reflections can reach your skin or
WARNING enter your eyes if the laser beam emission opening and
the processing point is not under a laser protection cover.
The laser beam could burn your skin or cause permanent
damage to your eyes!
Ø Do not reach into the optical path between the laser beam
emission opening and the workpiece while the laser beam
is being emitted.
Ø Wear laser safety glasses that are adjusted to the wave
length and the intensity of the laser beam.
Ø Make sure that the shielding is in place on all sides.
If you operate the laser system without the protective covers (class 4
laser), all persons who may be exposed to hazards must wear suitable
laser safety glasses. Laser safety glasses are available in a number of dif-
ferent versions (filtering lenses), which need to be adjusted to the wave-
length and intensity of the laser beam (TruMark 6030 (L026): 1030 nm).
Contact TRUMPF if you require more information regarding this. You can
order laser safety glasses from TRUMPF.

5.3 Hazards due to electrical energy
If faults occur in the electrical power system, switch off the laser
system immediately. Check the electrical equipment of the laser
systems at regular intervals. Defects such as loose connections
or defective cables must be rectified immediately.

When carrying out maintenance work, you may come into
DANGER contact with dangerous live parts!
Touching live parts can be fatal!
Ø Work on electrical systems or operating material may only
be performed by trained electricians or by persons
instructed and supervised by an electrician in accordance
with the applicable electrotechnical regulations.
Ø Before starting maintenance work, switch off the laser sys-
tems.
Ø Pull out the power plug or remove the power connection
cable from the supply unit.
Ø Check whether parts that are live during operation are volt-
age-free.
5.4 Hazards due to gas and particle

emission
Laser radiation can lead to gases and dusts, which are danger-
ous to health.
Particularly in respect of hazardous materials, we expressly
advise that we can only provide examples of sources of risk.
As the user of the system, you have to analyze the risk poten-
tial of the processed materials and check and take the neces-
sary measures.
For precautionary reasons and independent of the suction and
filtering devices required for the exhaust air system, it is recom-
mended to ensure a sufficient supply of fresh air in the work
areas.
Check the efficiency of the exhaust system at regular intervals.
Carry out maintenance at regular intervals. Rectify defects imme-
diately.
Dust, aerosols, and gases The following substances can be released when processing
materials using the laser system:
■ Dust (particles larger that 1 μm).
■ Aerosols (particles smaller than 1 μm). Aerosols are gases
(particularly air) that contain very finely dispersed solid or liq-
uid substances.
■ Gases

Danger of poisoning! The suction power will decline contin-
DANGER uously if the filters are full!
The operator may come in contact with substances
dangerous to health during prolonged engraving
applications!
Ø Replace the filter packets at regular intervals.
Ø Wear mouth and nose protection during deep engraving and/
or multiple marking operations. This protective gear must be
adapted to match the danger class of the workpiece to be
machined.
Thermal decomposition Substances that are hazardous to health can be released when
processing plastic materials using the laser system.

When machining plastic materials, substances dangerous
to health can be generated due to thermal decomposition!
Ø Wear mouth and nose protection when machining plastic
materials. This protective gear must be adapted to match
the danger class of the workpiece to be machined.
5.5 Dangers due to combination of risks
Avoid the laser radiation/dust combination. Otherwise it might

lead to a dust explosion.
Dust explosion! The suction power will decline contin-

DANGER uously if the filters are full!
Explosive dusts or gases can be formed!
Ø Position the suction pipe as close to the machining point as
possible.
Ø Check the efficiency of the exhaust system at regular inter-
vals.
5.6 Interlock
The safety interface of the laser marking system provides sev-

eral interlock circuits:

■ Interlock 1 Shutter.
■ Interlock 2 Laser.
Note
The number of switching cycles is unlimited on the TruMark
series 6000 (L026) laser marking system.
The interlocks have the effect that the laser radiation is emitted
from the laser beam emission opening only if the interlocks are
closed.
The integrator of the laser source must ensure laser safety
class 1.
The integrator must perform a fault exclusion for a short circuit
in its lines connected to the interlocks in acc. with DIN EN ISO
13849-2.
When an interlock is open:

■ Performance Level e, category 4, ensures that no laser radi-
ation escapes from the laser beam emission opening.
When the safety function is triggered by opening Interlock 1
Shutter, the shutter module closes after 50 ms.
Abbreviation Definition
TShutter TShutter specifies the time that elapses from
detection of Interlock 1 Shutter until the shutter is
closed.
TSynchrony In the case of two-channel interlocks, the contacts
of the safety switches involved must take on the
same state within the time TSynchrony.
Cycle Control In the case of a two-channel interlock, once the
two safety switches are closed, both switches
must be opened again before a new closing cycle
can begin. Opening and closing with only one of
the safety switches leads to an error.
TOutOff When a beam source interlock is opened, the
beam source supply is switched off within the
time T OutOff.

beam emission opening should always be taken into account.
In such a case, you must ensure that there is no risk (see chap-
ter 1 "Safety", section 5.2 "Hazards at the laser beam emission
opening").
If the laser system has been integrated into a higher-level sys-
tem with a laser protection cover, ensure that the laser protec-
tion cover has been integrated into the interlocks of the laser
system. The interlocks make sure that laser radiation only
appears at the processing point when the laser protection cover
is closed.

Note
Laser systems as incomplete machines in terms of the EC
Machinery Directive 2006/42/EG without protective cover of the
work area are always class 4 laser units and require suitable
protection measures:
Laser protective covers and laser protective filters must be
checked for damage regularly.
6.2 Exhausting vapors, gases and smoke
The laser system must be operated with an exhaust system.

Vapors, gases and smoke have to be exhausted and filtered
properly during processing with the laser system. The gases are
purified using a filter device. The filters must be adjusted for spe-
cial applications if required. The user must ensure that the per-
missible harmful substance concentration limit values are not
exceeded at the workplace.
MA-EN-370 2018-08 Measures for increasing safety 1‐25

6.3 Pay attention to thermal heating
When metal or plastic workpieces are marked, the surface may melt and
vaporize depending on the intensity and the reaction time of the laser
beam. In such a case wear heat-resistant gloves, before removing the
workpiece from the processing cell.
Tab. 1-33
6.4 Properly laying cables to the

processing unit
The cables from the supply unit to the processing unit are to be

8. Position of the safety devices
The positions of the safety devices are described in the follow-

ing.
The following safety devices are present:

■ Laser warning lamps.
■ Shutter module.
8.1 Laser warning lamps
The laser warning lamps are the emission warning devices of

the laser marking system as per the EN 60825-1 standard.
Laser warning lamps are installed:
■ on the front side of the processing unit.

description for OEM systems.
When do the laser warning At least one of the laser warning lamps lights up if the laser
lamps light up? marking system laser is switched on. It is thus ensured that a
laser warning lamp always lights up if there is a risk of laser
radiation emission.
MA-EN-370 2018-08 Position of the safety devices 1‐29

Details on switching the laser marking system on and off can be
found in the interface description.
When is laser radiation The laser warning lamps light up before any laser radiation is
emitted? emitted at the laser beam emission opening. Laser radiation is
only emitted after the laser is switched on providing:
■ the shutter module has been opened
AND
■ processing has started.
8.2 Shutter module
The shutter module is integrated in the beam guidance in the

laser head and has a safety function.
1 Shutter module open 2 Shutter module closed

Shutter module in the processing unit, diagram Fig. 12053
Safety function The shutter module goes to the CLOSED position as soon as
the safety circuit is interrupted. No laser radiation can then be
emitted. The shutter module thereby prevents persons from
being exposed to laser radiation.
Example The laser marking system is integrated in a laser unit with a

safety door or a bulkhead. The safety circuit is interrupted, e.g.
if the safety door or the bulkhead is opened or if the side cover
is dismounted on the hood. Information about the control of the
shutter module can be found in chapter 7 "Interfaces" and in
chapter 8 "Communication"

1.1 Operating and display devices
Operating devices (1) include a mouse and a country-specific

keyboard for entering the data. The display device (1) is a
monitor (see "Fig. 1085", pg. 3‐3).
1.2 The control system
The control system (2) (see "Fig. 1085", pg. 3‐3) controls and
monitors all the internal functions of a laser unit and the interfa-
ces to external equipment, to which the laser unit is connected.
MA-EN-370 2018-08 Structure of a laser unit 3‐3

The control system (2) converts operating and control com-
mands into actions and displays the operating statuses of the
laser unit.
The control system (2) contains safety devices to allow safe
operation of the laser unit.
1.3 The power supply
The power supply (3) takes electrical energy from the mains sup-
ply and feeds it to the components of the laser unit (see "Fig.
1085", pg. 3‐3).
1.4 Cooling system
A laser unit provides reproducible machining results only within

a narrow scope of the operating temperature depending on the
design. The excess heat generated in the laser components
must be carried off through the cooling system (4) (see "Fig.
1085", pg. 3‐3).
In laser units, distinction is made between the following depend-

ing on the type of heat transmission
■ Air cooling.
■ Contact cooling.
■ Water-air cooling.
■ Water-water cooling.
1.5 Laser
The word LASER stands for : Light Amplification by Stimulated

Emission of Radiation.
Due to their amplification process type, laser generate light with

special properties .
The following image shows the structure of the laser (5) sche-
matically (see "Fig. 1085", pg. 3‐3):

1 Rear mirror 4 Output coupling mirror
2 Pump source 5 Laser beam coupled out
3 Laser medium
Laser design, diagram Fig. 1025
Their important components are

■ an active laser medium (3) (see "Fig. 1025", pg. 3‐5). The
laser light is generated or amplified in the laser medium.
■ an optical resonator. A resonator consists of mirrors (1,4)
(see "Fig. 1025", pg. 3‐5) that reflect at least a part of the
light back to the active medium. This leads to reamplification
and thus greater total amplification.
■ One or more pump sources (2). They supply energy to the
laser medium (3) which is required for amplification of light
(see "Fig. 1025", pg. 3‐5). This process is called pumping.
A part of the light leaves the optical resonator through the out-
put coupling mirror (4) and is available as laser beam (5).
Depending on the laser medium used, a distinction is made

between
■ Solid-state lasers.
■ Liquid lasers.
■ Gas lasers.
In case of solid-state lasers, depending on the geometry of the

laser medium, a differentiation is made between
■ Rod lasers (solid-state lasers).
■ Disk lasers.
■ Fiber lasers.
The diode lasers play a special role. In case of diode lasers, the
active medium is a semi-conductor. Unlike the other solid-state
lasers, diode lasers are not electrically pumped via a light
source but electrically directly through electrical flow.

Operating modes In case of lasers, the following operating types are differentiated:
■ cw mode, also named continuous wave mode (continuous
wave).
■ cwm mode, also named modulated continuous wave mode
(continuous wave modulated).
■ Pulsed operation.
cw mode In the cw mode, the laser emits a laser beam constantly and
with constant power.
cwm mode In the cwm mode, the power of the emitting laser beam is peri-
odically interrupted.
Pulsed operation During the pulsed operation, the laser emits laser beam in the
form of extremely short pulses with extremely high peak pulse
power.
Various methods are used for generating short pulses.
The easiest method is based on the pulsed operation of the
energy source. This method mostly has the disadvantage of a
considerable reduction of the average power. Due to the interrup-
tions of the pumping process, less energy is supplied to the
laser medium. The peak pulse power - the maximum power in a
pulse - is relatively slightly more than the average power in the
CW mode.
In case of other methods, the energy source is operated continu-
ously and only the laser radiation is emitted in the form of short
laser pulses. In the pauses between the short laser pulses, the
constantly pumped laser medium helps in saving a lot of energy
for the amplification of laser pulses which explains the high emit-
ted peak pulse power. In case of typical pulse durations in the
range of a few nanoseconds, peak pulse powers are attained
that exceed the average power by more than a factor of 1,000.
Examples of such methods are

■ Quality switching.
■ Amplification of short pulses in constantly pumped optical
amplifiers (oscillator amplifier system).
■ Cavity dumping.
1.6 Optics motion sytem
The optics motion system (7) (see "Fig. 1085", pg. 3‐3) contains:
■ Components for moving the deflection mirrors and lenses of
the beam guideway system.

A motion system comprises:
■ Movable holding fixtures for:
− Workpieces
− Laser
− Lenses
− Deflection mirrors
■ Guideways, spindles, gears.
■ Electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic drives.
The motion system (7, 12) (see "Fig. 1085", pg. 3‐3)can be
guided manually or with the help of an automatic control system
(2). Position data can be incorporated by the control system (2)
and used for controlling the motional values.
Scanner head During material processing, the laser beam must be able to
cover a certain marking field on the workpieces. A scanner head
may be used for this purpose.
The scanner head as optics motion system (7) contains rotating
mirrors (3, 4), which are installed on the galvo drives (1, 2). The
galvo drives allow high deflection speeds with high accuracy as
required for the marking process.

1.7 Focusing lens
The laser beam must be focussed on a higher power density for

material processing. A focusing lens is used to do this. The
focusing lens (2) is installed in the focusing adapter (1).

1.8 Laser protection cover
The user and environment of each laser unit must be protected

from escaping and harmful laser radiation using suitable meas-
ures. One suitable measure is to attach a laser protection cover
(9) (see "Fig. 1085", pg. 3‐3) around the processing point. Suita-
ble measures are described in chapter 1 "Safety".
Note
The laser unit may be operated only with a complete laser pro-
tection cover (9), which shields every harmful radiation from the
user and the environment of the laser unit.
1.9 Exhaust system
Laser radiation can lead to gases and dusts, which are danger-
ous to health. The laser unit must be operated with an exhaust
system (10), (see "Fig. 1085", pg. 3‐3) which exhausts and fil-
ters the resulting gases and dusts properly.

More information regarding this topic can be found in chapter 1
"Safety" of this document.

2. Properties of the laser radiation
The following properties of the laser radiation are different from

the radiation from other light sources:
Monochromatic Laser radiation is extensively monochromatic. The wavelength of

the laser radiation has only a little spectral bandwidth. Thanks to
this property, optical elements (lenses, mirrors) can be opti-
mized for the specific wavelength.
Coherent All parts of the radiation not only have almost the same wave-
length and thus the same frequency, but also oscillate with the
same phase position - “in synchrony“. This makes it possible to
focus the laser radiation properly.
Parameters Laser radiation is described by specific parameters. The suitabil-

ity of the laser beam for certain applications e.g. in material
processing can be evaluated with the help of these parame-
ters. The most important parameters are explained in section
2.1.
2.1 Laser radiation parameters
The beam properties of a laser are determined by the following

parameters:
Wavelength Laser radiation can be regarded as waves. Depending on the

laser type, a specific fundamental wavelength λ0 is created.
1 Fundamental wave 3 Third harmonic

2 Second harmonic
Wavelength and frequency, diagram Fig. 1031
Frequency The associated frequency of the light is inversely proportional to

the wavelength f0 = c /λ0, where c is the speed of light.
Frequency multiplication By frequency multiplication, the second, third, ... harmonic can
be created from the fundamental wavelength. This creates laser
3‐12 Properties of the laser radiation 2018-08 MA-EN-370

radiation with 1/2, 1/3, ... times the fundamental wavelength
(see "Fig. 1031", pg. 3‐12).
Example YAG laser

Fundamental wavelength: 1030 nm
Frequency doubling: 515 nm
Frequency tripling: 343 nm
Frequency quadrupling Tab. 3-1
Beam diameter The beam diameter d indicates the diameter of the laser beam.
The beam diameter d can have different values at different
points of the light path.
Divergence and beam diameter, diagram Fig. 1028
Beam waist diameter The beam waist diameter d0 is the beam diameter at the focal
point and therefore the smallest diameter which a laser beam
reaches after a focusing lens. The smaller this value is, the
higher is the power density in the focus (see "Power density").
Divergence The angle Θ by which the beam in the so-called far-field devi-
ates from parallelism is called divergence.
Beam quality Beam quality is defined as:
Fig. 1027
and describes the focusability of a laser beam.

The theoretical best value of the beam quality is M2 = 1. Actual
laser beams always have a beam quality of M2 > 1.
Cross-section area of a The cross-section area of a beam is the area through which the
beam laser beam passes vertically. It can have different values at dif-
ferent points of the light path.
MA-EN-370 2018-08 Properties of the laser radiation 3‐13

1 Laser beam 3 Focal point
2 Focusing lens
Cross-section areas of a beam at different points, diagram Fig. 1030
The cross-section area of the beam has the smallest value in

the focus (3).
Pulse repetition frequency The pulse repetition frequency F determines the number of laser
pulses per second. Typical pulse repetition frequencies of lasers
with quality circuit are between 1 kHz and 200 kHz.
Pulse duration Pulse duration t is the time between the 50% values of power
of the rising and falling edge of a pulse – the half-height width.
Q-switched rod laser: pulse duration, diagram Fig. 1047
Power Power is an important parameter of the laser.

In the case of laser pulses, a distinction is made between:
■ Peak pulse power Pp.
■ Average power Po.
The peak pulse power is the maximum value of the power
within an individual laser pulse. It is generally several kilowatts.
A low average power (few watts) with short pulse duration in the
ns range leads to very high peak pulse powers of several kilo-
watts to over one hundred kilowatts.
Gauss beam Lasers with extremely high beam quality (M2 < 1.5) usually gen-
erate almost a Gauss beam. The power distribution across the
beam cross-section of a laser beam corresponds to Gaussian
normal distribution. The diameter of a laser beam wherein
86.5% of the power is provided is defined as the beam diameter.
Irradiance Power density is a measure for the power with reference to a

certain area. Power density IP is a measurement for peak pulse
power PP based on the beam cross section surface in focal
point AF.
For all laser processes, there is a process threshold in the form
of a minimum necessary power density for status changes of
the processed material.
Example:
Glass: 10 GW / cm2,
Metal: 0.1 GW / cm2 for engraving.
The necessary power density at the processing location is ach-
ieved by providing a particular laser power at a lowest possible
focal diameter. The smallest possible size of the focal diameter
is determined by the wavelength, beam quality and the focusing
lens being used.
Pulse energy In the power/time diagram, the energy of an individual laser

pulse corresponds of the surface under the curve of a single
pulse.
MA-EN-370 2018-08 Properties of the laser radiation 3‐15

Pulse energy, diagram Fig. 1029
Power course
1 Sample power course of older 2 TruMark 6030 (L026) power

solid-state laser course
Power courses, diagram Fig. 12054
The curve of the mean laser power according to the pulse repe-
tition frequency depends on the laser crystal used in the resona-
tor, the type of frequency conversion and on the laser wave-
length. The pulse repetition frequency, at which the average
power almost reaches a constant value (1)(2), is referred to as
the laser operating point. The figure shows a sample power
course from an older solid-state laser (1). Unlike older lasers,
the TruMark 6030 (L026) (2) does not rely on frequency.
Pulse-to-pulse stability The pulse energy/peak pulse power of successive actual laser
pulses is not always the same. The pulse-to-pulse stability is a
measure for the variation of the pulse energy/peak pulse power
of individual laser pulses around their mean value.

3. Material marking
Materials can be processed in different ways with the laser

beam.
The following sections explain:

■ How the laser beam impacts on the material during process-
ing.
■ The influence of the laser parameters on the processing
result.
3.1 Effect of the laser beam on the

workpiece
The effect of the laser beam on the material depends on the fol-
lowing factors:
■ on the material to be processed.
■ on the wavelength of the laser beam.
■ on the focusing lens.
■ on the set parameters such as:
− Laser power.
− Deflection speed.
− Pulse repetition frequency.
It is decisive that the material absorbs the laser beam. Only
then can the energy of the laser beam produce the desired
effect on the material.
The processing can show the following effects:

■ Ablation.
■ Engraving.
■ Color change.
■ Annealing.
■ Foaming.
AblationProcessingAblationA Workpieces with a thin outer coat can be marked by ablation of

blation the outer coat with laser light.
Examples:
Colored, anodized aluminum, finished workpieces, laser marking
films
The material of the outer coat is removed or evaporated by the
effect of the laser beam. The coat below it thus becomes visible.
The laser beam can also be used for ablation of functional lay-
ers, e.g. semiconducters and metallic oxides.
MA-EN-370 2018-08 Material marking 3‐17

Examples:
Insulation of conducting paths, insulation of functional surfaces,
trimming of resistors
The material of one or more layers of a multi layer material
structure is ablated or evaporated by means of the laser beam
and can be structured definitely in such way.
Engraving When engraving, the laser beam ablates material such that
depressions are created in the material, similar to the mechani-
cal engraving process. Depending on the material, engraving
may change the color of the material, which makes the contours
even more visible.
For engraving, you need a relatively high pulse power: 5 kW to
over 100 kW depending on the requirements and material.
Color change Mainly in the case of plastic materials, the effect of the laser
beam may change the color of the material. This may happen
because of:
■ thermal effects
or
■ photochemical effects.
The surface structure of the material mostly remains unchanged,
i.e. there are no elevations or depressions.
The pulse power for the color change is low in comparison to
engraving (< 5 kW).
Annealing Certain types of metals (steel, titanium) can be marked by gener-

ating annealing colors. The energy of the laser beam must then
be dosed such that the temperature on the processing point is
sufficiently high. The energy is significantly higher than for color
changes in plastic materials (see above). The annealing colors
on the surface of the workpiece are then created by tempera-
ture-dependent oxidation. If the energy is too high, the beam will
cut into the material.
Foaming Markings on certain plastic materials can be generated by foam-

ing. The laser beam causes the material to melt at certain
points. This generates trapped gas bubbles and alters the mate-
rial such that a raised marking is generated, which also mostly
differs in color from the unprocessed material.
Note

marking with laser radiation, please contact the TRUMPF Sales
Department or the TRUMPF Application Consulting.

4. Structure and function
Thanks to its compact and modular design, your laser marking

system can be integrated very flexibly into the most varied laser
units.
The simplest laser unit is the manual work station. Here, the
operator positions the workpiece manually or by means of a sim-
ple device.
Complex units have a multi-axes motion system with actuating
drives and connection to a higher-level control system.
Such systems can, for instance:

■ Position workpieces automatically.
■ Mark workpieces of multiple size of the marking field through
segmentation.
■ Mark workpieces with a curved surface using a rotary axis
through cylinder segmentation.
■ Mark workpieces with variable data automatically.
The cooperation of components of a laser unit in automation sol-
utions is determined in sequential programs.
A Laser marking system is the part of the laser unit that con-
tains the laser which is used to depict characters and graphics
elements with vector orientation on the surface of the workpie-
ces ( Chapter 3 "Product description", Fig. 1085). The laser
beam is steered above the surface of the workpiece with a vec-
torial image, so that it generates the contours of the marking
image as continuous lines. The opposite of this image is the bit-
map type image that can be created by means of dithering.
During the marking process with the laser marking system, the
material is ablated, melted or thermally discolored.
Main components of the The following installation specifies the typical components of a
laser marking system TruMark 6000 series (L026) laser marking system. The scope of
delivery of your laser marking system may vary according to
your order.

Then, the interfaces of a laser marking system, which are most
important to you as the user, are presented.
Supply unit The supply unit comes in a 5U rack-mount design (see "Fig.
11750", pg. 3‐21). It contains the pump light cable (1), the
pump unit (2), the power supply (3), the cooling unit (4) and the

Supply unit operating The supply unit controls and monitors all the functions of the
principle laser marking system. Interfaces in the supply unit can be used

to externally control and monitor the laser marking system, e.g.,
with a PLC. The connection cables of the peripheral devices
must be bunched together in a cable bundle together with the
cables for using interfaces of the control equipment. Clamping
fixtures (14) for the electromagnetic shielding and strain relief
are provided for the cable bundle at the cable bushing.
Control computer The control computer is an additional rack-mount component.
Control computer Fig. 11752
The control computer is specially adapted to the requirements of

the laser marking system respective hardware and software .
The control computer has a protection class of IP20.
Hardware Characteristic features of the hardware are:

■ The interfaces and the connections of the boards are acces-
sible from the rear of the control computer.
■ An internal USB stick with 16 GB memory capacity for creat-
ing backups for the series 1 control computer.
■ Fieldbus interfaces allow processing of control signals and
recording of operating values.
Operating system The control computer comes with the Windows 10 operating
system.
To operate and control the laser marking system, the control
computer runs the control program TruTops Mark®.
External software Since numerous time-critical processes are controlled and moni-
tored when operating the laser marking system, TRUMPF can-
not guarantee trouble-free operation of the laser marking system
if other programs are installed on the control computer.
Note
Do not install any other software on the control computer of
your laser marking system. Software not explicitly recommended
for installation by TRUMPF can cause errors and malfunctions.

Errors and malfunctions caused by installation or operation of
software which is not recommended, will not be corrected within
the scope of the warranty.
TRUMPF cannot be held liable for damage resulting from
the installation of software which is not recommended.
Laser properties The laser marking system contains a solid as laser medium in
the form of a laser rod. Due to this special shape, the solid-
state laser is referred to as rod laser.
The rod laser is structured as a Q-switched system. The follow-
ing diagram shows the schematic structure.

Structure of the laser marking system, diagram Fig. 11753
Operating principle of the The pump module (10) continuously excites the laser rod (2)
laser with the pump light coupled in by means of an optical fiber (6)
for the generation of laser light. The laser light is reflected on
the end mirror (1) and output coupling mirror (4) and excites the
laser rod (2) during each cycle for the generation of further laser
light. This procedure is referred to as amplification. The system,
consisting of the end mirror (1), laser rod (2) and output cou-
pling mirror (4), is the resonator. Part of the laser light is let
through the semi-permeable output coupling mirror as a usable
laser beam (9).
The permeability of the internal Q-switch (3) and the external
modulator (5) for laser light can be influenced electrically or elec-
tro-acoustically. The impermeability of the Q-switch (3) for light
is referred to as blocking. The energy content of the laser rod is

gradually increased while the Q-switch is disabled. The stored
energy content is released as a laser pulse by the output cou-
pling mirror (4) if the Q-switch is set to permeable.
The modulator driver (11) is connected to the Q-switch (3) by an
RF cable (7). A trigger signal fed in via the RF cable (7)
switches the Q-switch (3) between permeability and blocking at
the transferred frequency. The maximum RF power at which the
Q-switches do not let through any laser light is referred to as
hold-off point of the Q-switch and must be set specifically for
each laser marking system.
The PMS board (13) and LCU board (14) are electronic compo-
nents used to supply power (13) as well as control and monitor
(14) the pump module (10) and the modulator drivers (11, 12).
The input/output interfaces (15) are used to control and monitor
the laser marking system through an external control. The com-
munication interface to the external control is the IOM2 terminal
block and the SCB2 terminal block.
The rod laser can be operated in pulsed mode or continuous
wave (CW) mode as required.

TM 6030 optical area and From the pump module, the pump light (1) is guided through the
beam guidance pump light cable into the resonator (2) of the laser. Inside the
resonator, the laser beam is generated and directed through the
optics module (11) of the laser head. When the shutter module
(8) is open, the laser beam passes through the external modula-
tor (10), shutter module (8), focusing module (4), focusing lens
(5) and scanner head (6, 7) and onto the workpiece. When the
shutter module (8) is closed, a scanner mirror (3) deflects the
laser beam onto an absorber plate (9).

ble connections can be found there. The pump light cable cable
contains the optical fiber (2) for the transfer of the pump light

Focusing module The focusing module (6) is installed in the laser head. The
focusing module allows for focus position adjustment and defo-
cusing in the Z direction.
Focus position adjustment/ Adjustable focus position/defocusing makes the following possi-
defocusing ble:
■ Adjustment of the focus position to different working plans in

the Z direction.
■ Defocusing from the focus position to reduce the energy den-
sity in the working plane.

Defocusing while maintaining working distance Fig. 10254
At a constant working distance, the beam diameter is increased

on the working plane by the defocusing and the energy density
on the working plane reduced accordingly.
Shutter module The shutter module has 2 positions: OPEN and CLOSED:
■ In OPEN position, the laser beam is directed to the beam
emission opening. Laser radiation can escape at the beam
emission opening when a marking program is executed.
■ The laser beam is guided to an absorber and converted into
heat in the CLOSED position. No laser radiation can escape
at the beam emission opening.
Safety circuit Note

The scattered radiation from a laser marking system with visible
or invisible wavelengths is not dangerous, even when the shut-
ter module on the laser head is closed. In this condition, the
laser marking system meets the requirements of operation
according to laser class 1 without restrictions.
The shutter module immediately switches to the CLOSED posi-

tion if the safety circuit of the laser marking system is inter-
rupted. No laser radiation can then be emitted. All commands
for opening the shutter module then become ineffective.
The safety circuit is interrupted, for example, if the door of a
laser protection cover is open.

Interface Laser Head 3 All laser head functions are controlled via the Interface Laser
(ILH3) Head 3 control board . Furthermore the following operating val-
ues are recorded or monitored:
■ Laser power.
■ Shutter module.
■ Housing temperature.
■ Function of the warning lamps.
Pilot laser (option) The pilot laser is an optional component of the laser marking
system. It is a low-power diode laser. The pilot laser generates
red light with a wavelength in the 650 nm range.
The pilot laser helps for the following purposes:

■ To position workpieces on the marking field.
■ To run marking programs on a trial basis.
Modes
The pilot laser can be operated in two modes:

■ Mode 1: "Rectangle".
■ Mode 2: "Contour".
Mode 1 - Rectangle
The pilot laser depicts a rectangle in mode 1. The rectangle out-
lines the position and size of the graphic of the selected mark-
ing program.
Mode 2 Contour
The pilot laser completely reproduces the graphic of the marking
program in mode 2.
Instructions on how to select the mode and how to activate the
pilot laser can be found in Chapter 6 "Commissioning" and in
the software manual TruTops Mark®.
The shutter module for the laser remains closed while the pilot
laser is active. Therefore, no dangerous laser radiation can
escape as long as the pilot laser is active.
Scanner head and focusing The scanner head guides the laser beam over the marking field
adapter according to the marking program.
The focusing adapter focuses the laser beam onto the marking
field. This creates the power density necessary for the marking
process.

Focusing adapter Fig. 12036
The focusing lens of the marking laser in the 3000, 5000 and
6000 series has been replaced by the optics in the focusing
adapter in the TruMark 6000 series (L026) marking lasers. The
focusing module now performs the functions of the focusing lens
with software. The function of marking a plane in focus, called
the marking field, has been replaced by the capability of focus-

ing the laser beam in a three-dimensional area, called the mark-
ing space. The focusing adapter optics determine the average
working distance in the marking space as well as the potential
expansion of the marking space. The focusing adapter contains
a focusing lens to focus the laser beam onto the marking field.
The focusing adapter is available with different focal lengths.
The following combinations are possible depending on the focal
length of the focusing adapter:
■ the working distance.

■ the size of the marking field.
■ the defocus area.
■ the focal diameter.
Note
Keep the working distance as exact as possible. You will then
attain repeatable marking results with the best possible quality.
Protective glass Protective glass covers the scanner head toward the workpiece.
The protective glass protects the scanner head. The protective
glass must be cleaned or changed if it becomes fogged.Instruc-
tions for this are to be found in chapter 10 "Maintenance".

piece to a certain extent. The values depend on the focusing
adapter and configuration:

Processing unit To cool the TruMark 6030 processing unit, air is drawn in from
the side, guided through the housing and discharged at the rear.
The processing unit must be mounted such that air can be sup-
plied and warm air can be discharged.
Avoid sealed encasing If the processing unit is placed in a casing, it must be ensured
that the resulting warm air can be discharged from the housing
either directly or by means of sufficient heat transfer. Else, the
ambient temperature for the processing unit increases to imper-
missible values!

2.12 Marking field dimensions
Working distance A Dimension A indicates the working distance. The working dis-
tance indicates how much of the surface of the workpiece to be
marked must be removed from the lower edge of the scanner
head.
Marking field The marking field is the area that can be marked by the laser
beam without having to move the workpiece or the processing
unit.
A Working distance F Focal position adjustment D Large marking field

TruMark 6030 processing unit, working distance dimensions, focal position adjustment and Fig. 12047
large marking field
Dimension A depends on the focal length f of the focusing

adapter and is required for the size of the marking field D x D.
Note
The working distance can change due to the focal position
adjustment.

The TruMark 6030 has a focal position adjustment (F). The focal
position adjustment (F) depends on the focusing adapter. If the
full focal position adjustment (F) is required, the workpiece
holder must be vertically adjusted.
Example
The focusing adapter with focal length (f) 450 has a focal posi-
tion adjustment (F) of +- 50 mm. In this case, the working dis-
tance (A) must be increased by the focal position adjustment (F).

1. General notes
Notes
■ The control functions of TruTops Mark® can be influenced
and disturbed by the simultaneous execution of diagnostic
functions with TruDiag even if, in principle, the communica-
tion connections do not interact negatively! Control functions
may be disturbed if the operator, for example, changes the
status of the laser marking system or individual parameters
by means of TruDiag. Control functions are not affected if
only measured values are displayed or the telegram commu-
nication logged. Control functions can therefore only be dis-
turbed by TruDiag operating errors.
■ During the execution of marking programs or in remote
control mode via the interfaces of the laser marking system,
no other programs are permitted to be executed on the
control computer for TruTops Mark®. User inputs on the
control computer via mouse and keyboard are not permitted
in remote control mode. An ongoing marking sequence
could be disturbed or interrupted as a result.

■ There must be a carrier plate on the installation location on
to which the laser marking system processing unit can be
fastened. The dimensions for installation of the processing
unit can be found in chapter 5 "Installation conditions".
■ The carrier plate must be arranged in such a way to allow
the processing unit to be operated without play and vibra-
tions. Good work results when marking with the laser mark-
ing system can only be achieved in this way.
■ The working distance between the underside of the scan-
ner head and the surfaces of the workpieces being marked,
which is the product of the focal length of the focusing
adapter (see Section 5 "Installation conditions" for more)
must be maintained.

1. General notes
1.1 Integration interfaces
All interfaces used for integration are on the control computer

(1) and on the IOM2 and SCB2 terminal blocks (3) in the supply
unit (2).
Customer interfaces in green This Interfaces section only describes the unassigned interfaces
designated for integration into customer applications. These
come in the form of green terminal blocks.

Overview of interfaces Fig. 12056
1.2 Laser control system, monitoring
For processing functions, the laser is actuated by the control

using Laser Control Unit 2 (LCU2) (1). The Pump Module Sup-
ply 260 (PMS260) (2) provides laser-specific power and
switches voltages and currents to supply the components con-
nected to the laser.

Supply unit LCU2 and PMS260 Fig. 12060
Digital signals for controlling and monitoring the processing func-

tions and operating conditions can only be exchanged through
the IOM2 (standard) and IOM2 (option) boards. The control soft-
ware on the control computer evaluates status changes and
responds with control commands.
Note
For the network integration of a laser marking system only the
free network interfaces on the control computer are permitted to
be used (see chapter 6, “Start-up” – Connecting the control com-
puter to a network) .

compatibility
The design of the laser marking system fulfills the requirements

of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). The interference resist-
ance of the laser marking system can decrease if the connec-
tions of cables and lines are not carried out in accordance with
the EMC requirements.
Shielded cables must be used to ensure that errors do not get
into the laser marking system via the control lines. The best
shielding effect is achieved when the cable shield is connected
across a large area at both ends (e.g. plug of the interface
cable in the laser marking system's housing and the system's
control cabinet) with the grounded housings.
In the case of bilateral shield connection, a good potential equal-
ization bonding must be provided between the laser marking
system and the control cabinet.
Inside the supply unit, strain reliefs (3) for the interface cables
are arranged on the cable entry system (2). All interface cables
must be led through these strain reliefs and secured with the
clamping screws against tensile strain of the shielded plug con-
nections.
The shielding of the cables must be exposed for the connection
of the cables within the clamping range in accordance with EMC
requirements.

2. IOM2 customer interface
The IOM2 interface board provides the interfaces for automating

and connecting the laser marking system in customer applica-
tions/environments. The IOM2 (standard) (1) is accessible from
the front of the supply unit. It is connected to the IOM2 (stand-
ard) terminal block (3) on the rear of the supply unit. The
optional IOM2 (option) is accessible from the front of the supply
unit (2).

4. Safety circuit

protection cover.
Function of the safety circuit The function of the safety circuit is to shut off the laser marking
system and prevent the laser beam from being emitted. The
safety circuit is monitored by the SCB2 (2). If Interlock 1 Shutter
module (7) is open, the shutter module (1) blocks the emission
of the laser light from the processing unit (10). Interlock 2 Laser
(6), Interlock 3 Laser (5) and Interlock 4 Laser (4) are con-
nected in series. If one of these interlocks is open, LPS1 (3)
shuts down the pump unit (2). This de-energizes the pump unit
and no laser light is emitted from the processing unit (10).

MA-EN-370 2018-08 Safety circuit 7‐13

Shutter module safety There is a distinction between the safety function and the oper-
function ating function of the shutter module.
■ In its safety function, the shutter module closes as soon as
the safety circuit opens, preventing anyone from being
exposed to laser radiation. To do this, for example, a safety
switch on a protective cover closes the safety circuit and the
shutter module independently of the laser control.
When triggering the safety function by breaking the safety
circuit, the shutter module closes after 50 ms.
■ In its operating function, the shutter module is controlled
by the laser control. This permits, for example, internal laser
power measurement without laser power being applied to
the workpiece.
Monitoring of a two-channel An error with shutdown of the laser is actuated if:

safety circuit ■ The two contacts of the two-channel safety circuit do not
switch synchronously (Δt < 2 s).
Signals for the display of In running operation, the operating status can be displayed,
the operating status depending on the operating mode and version, by means of the
signals for warning lamps in the customized operating environ-
ment.
The following signals can be used for warning lamps:

■ Shutter module laser warning lamp.
■ Laser active laser warning lamp.
■ Safety circuit signal lamps.
What these warning lamps indicate is described under "General
notes" in this section (see "SCB2 terminal block", pg. 7‐10).
Note
If no warning lamps are connected to the outputs, these outputs
have to be bridged with resistors (10 kOhm) to prevent faults in
the laser control monitor.

The settings for the Fuchs exhaust system and the explanation
of the parameters are illustrated in the preceding diagram:
■ Operation and monitoring of an external exhaust system are
activated - (1, 5, 7) (see "Fig. 1164", pg. 7‐18).
■ In this case the type of switch contact for monitoring the
exhaust system operating status is a pressure switch whose
switching characteristics correspond to the profile (2) .
■ The duration of the expected switching delay (6) and the
switch-off delay between the signals (8) and (9) in the same
diagram can be entered in ms for the exhaust system switch-
ing delay (8) and switch-off delay (9) (see "Fig. 1164",
pg. 7‐18).
■ In this case the type of switch contact for the exhaust sys-
tem error monitoring is a pressure switch with "NO contact"
characteristic (positive edge in error case) in accordance
with the switching characteristics (3) .
■ By deactivating the inverse operating status signal (3) (see
"Fig. 1164", pg. 7‐18) and
■ Deactivating the inverse error state signal (4) (see "Fig.
1164", pg. 7‐18), only positive edges are provided for the
evaluation by the monitoring software.
delivery condition The outlined interface of an external exhaust system corre-

sponds to the delivery condition. The default configuration for
the exhaust system configuration parameters in the TruDiag®
diagnostics system (see "Fig. 1164", pg. 7‐18) is line with this
with the following exceptions:
■ The operating status signal (3) (see "Fig. 1164", pg. 7‐18) is
not inverted.
■ The external exhaust system (1) (see "Fig. 1164", pg. 7‐18)
is "inactive".
Customized The switches used to monitor the operating status and error
state of the exhaust system are usually integrated in the
exhaust system. Their "NC contact" or "NO contact" characteris-
tic can be configured by inverting the signals.

1. Digital interfaces in TruTops Mark®/
QuickFlow®
The meaning of the signals and signal changes at the inputs

and outputs of the digital interface (IOM2 board) is determined
by the TruTops Mark® control software and the selected module.
In TruTops Mark®, the inputs and outputs may have different
meanings, depending on the respective module. These kinds of
characteristic features are noted in footnotes in the following list-
ing of interfaces and pin allocations with respect to TruTops
Mark® and the visual programming environment QuickFlow®.
Note
These inputs and outputs are not real-time capable. Reading the
inputs and setting the outputs by the control software (TTM, QF)
can take several 100 ms. (Exception: A1, E15 and E16 in real-
time mode)

1 E1 Laser_on10 If the System_ready (A2) output is "High", then the fol-
lowing actions can be triggered using this input:
■ In the case of a positive slope (change from "Low"-
> "High") the laser is switched on and the shutter is
opened (when the safety circuit is closed). When
the laser is ready internally and the shutter is open,
the Laser_ready (A7) output switches to "High".
From this moment onwards, the laser is ready to
start a marking program.
■ In the case of a negative slope (change from
"High" -> "Low"), the laser is switched off and the
shutter is closed.
20 E2 Start_Mark13 If the Laser_ready (A7) output is "High", the following
actions can be started using this input:
■ In the case of a positive slope (change from "Low"-
> "High""), a marking program is started. As
acknowledgment for the start, the Mark_active (A1)
output becomes "High".
11If "High" is at Start_mark, then the character on the
data lines of the IOE board will be interpreted as a
number. If Data_in_1..8="Low" - (No.=0) and
Data_select and Command = "Low", then the mark-
ing program currently selected at the control computer
will be started. If Data_in_1..8 >0, the data is read in
as a numerical marking program name and the corre-
sponding marking program is started. 255 numerical
marking file names are available in TruTops Mark®:
1.VLF, 2.VLF ....255.VLF.
2 E3 Reset13 If an error is reported at the Error (A3) output, it can
be acknowledged using "High" at Reset (E3). Using
Reset:
■ The Error (A3) output is set to "Low".
■ The data transfer is canceled.
■ The data buffer with the previously transferred data
is deleted.
21 E4 Data_select 12With "Low", the status of Data_in_1..8 will be inter-
preted as a program number which can be started
with "High" at the input Start_mark (E2).
With ""High"", the status of Data_in_1..8 is interpreted
as ASCII character to be transferred (program name,
variable). With a High at Command (E7) is controlled,
if the first byte is to be evaluated as the command
byte (switching between reading in a program name or
a variable with value allocation)..

3 E5 Parity_in 14A parity line is used to monitor the data transfer. Par-
ity = Even = even parity = even number of data input
lines in the "High" status
Example: If the lines E17 and E23 are set (corre-
sponds to ASCII character "A"=41Hex= 65Dec), then
the Parity_in (E5) should not be set since two lines
are "High".
22 E6 Strobe_in 14With a positive slope (change from "Low" → "High")
at Strobe_in (E6) the valid data present at
Data_in_1...8 is adopted.
A data byte or a command byte per strobe pulse is
read into the data buffer using Parity_in.
4 E7 Command 14When there is a "High" signal on this line, the com-
mand pending at Data_in_1..8 is transmitted. The com-
mand byte is adopted with the Strobe_in (E6).
The following functions can be started using the com-
mand byte at the laser marking system:
■ cmd = 01 = Read in program name
■ cmd = 02 = Read in/transfer variable
A command thus consists of the command byte fol-
lowed by a marking program name or a variable with
value allocation.
23 E8 Preconvert With a "High" signal at Preconvert (E8) a marking file
1.VLF..255.VLF which was previously selected via E17
to "E24" can be preconverted. If System ready (A2)
goes to "Low", then the "High" signal at Preconvert
(E8) must be set back to "Low".

Conversion_ready13: The output switches from "High"

to "Low" during the conversion of a marking file (can
be separately activated, starting with TruMark® V1.5.0
or TruTops Mark® V2.3).
29 A3 Error This output switches to High when a malfunction
occurs. 14The error number is generated at the out-
puts A9..A16 = Data_out_1..8 of the IOE board. An
error message also appears in the control software.
11 A4 SIK / Busy_In If the safety circuit is interrupted, SIK13is set to "Low".
14If "High" is in effect at Strobe_in (E6), then the out-
put/Busy_in (A4) will be set to "Low" and the input
data will be applied. If "Low" is in effect again at
Strobe_in (E6), then the output/Busy_in (A4) is reset
to "High" – character transfer is finished. While the line
has the status "Low", no handshake with the laser
marking system is possible.

2. TLV commands and TruTops Mark®
Laser marking systems of the TruMark series 3000/5000/6000

OEM can be remotely controlled through the following interfaces:
■ ProfiBus / ProfiNet.
■ TCP/IP.
■ Serial interfaces (RS232).
■ COM.
The TruTops Mark® control software must be started on the
remote-controlled laser marking system and the module for the
interface used must be activated.
TLV commands, customer control software or the visual program-
ming environment QuickFlow® can be used for the remote
control.
Note
Only one module can be activated in TruTops Mark® at a time.
The Profibus / ProfiNet interface must thus, for example, not be
used parallel to the serial interface, to the digital interface (hard-
ware I/Os), to QuickFlow® or to the TCP/IP interface.
2.1 Interfaces for TLV commands
Only the Profibus / ProfiNet, TCP/IP and serial interfaces can be

used in connection with TLV commands for the remote control
of laser marking systems from an external control computer or
from a PLC. TLV commands can also be used for the automa-
tion with customer software on the control computer of the laser
marking system in combination with the COM in-process inter-
face. The following picture shows an overview of the interfaces
which can be used with TLV commands.

Resetting error status
A two-stage status display is implemented in the laser marking

systems:
Stage 1: Warnings System statuses which do not adversely affect the current mark-
ing sequence are displayed as warnings. The warning message
is written in a log file and displayed. At the Warning (A8) output
of the digital interface, a "High" signal is issued. The warning
message is automatically closed after a set time.
MA-EN-370 2018-08 TLV commands and TruTops Mark® 8‐9

Stage 2: Malfunctions System statuses which could adversely affect/influence the cur-
rent marking sequence are displayed as malfunctions. The error
message is written in a log file and displayed. At the Error (A3)
output of the digital interface, a "High" signal is issued. The
error message closes only after an external Reset (E3) or after
the F9 key has been pressed. The correct execution of the cur-
rent marking procedure cannot be guaranteed. The external acti-
vation must decide what is to be done with the current work-
piece.
An error must be reported externally since a connection error
during the transmission of the variable marking information can
influence the marking result. The malfunction can not be inter-
nally reset automatically in the control in order not to impair the
reliability of the marking sequence. A "High" signal at the digital
interface Reset (E3) causes the malfunction to be deleted -
Error (A3) and System_ready (A2) outputs go to "Low". The
module is reinitialized (when the module is ready for a link con-
nection again) and the System_ready (A2) output is reset to
"High".
2.2 Communication via

ProfiBus / ProfiNet - >3 Module
>6 Profibus / >3 Module >7 Real
Time Interface (ProfiNet) in TruTops
Mark®
The control of a laser marking system via Profibus DP/DPV1 or

ProfiNet IO assumes the installation of a cifX Profibus card or a
cifX ProfiNet card in the laser marking system's control com-
puter (see "Interface description ProfiBus / ProfiNet").
Communication with TLV commands is described in the software
manual "TLV commands and Interpreter".
For actuation via ProfiBus, >3 Modules >6 Profibus must be
actuated and configured in the TruTops Mark® control software
of the laser marking system. For actuation via ProfiNet, >3 Mod-
ules >7 Real Time Interface must be actuated and configured in

■ the 'TlvInterfaceWrapper.dll' for the Windows environment.
A method description and instructions for integration in the cus-
tomer control software are documented in the file "TlvInterface-
Wrapper.hlp".
2.4 Communication via the serial

interface - >3 Modules >4 Serial
interface in TruTops Mark®
The Communication protocol for the serial interface provides the

framework for the transfer of TLV commands via the serial inter-
face. Each TLV command is transferred as a utility data block
within one telegram. The beginning and end of a telegram are
marked by the control characters STX/ETX. Each Telegram
must be confirmed within a defined time frame (Timeout interval)
by means of an acknowledgment ACK/NAK from the other side.
Telegram structure A telegram has the following structure:

Fig. 1868
Telegram Size HEX

Description
component [byte] display
STX 1 0x02 Control character "Start of text"
TAG 4 --- Utility data (bytes D0 ... Dn:
LENGTH 4 --- ■ The minimum quantity of utility data blocks to be transferred is 8
VALUE n ---
bytes: a TLV command is comprised of at least one TAG and
LENGTH with 4 bytes each.
■ The maximum quantity of utility data blocks to be transferred is not
limited. One telegram can contain only one TLV command.
XOR (D0 ...
BCC 1 Block check character.
Dn)
ETX 1 0x03 Control character "End of text"
Tab. 8-2
Control character (STX/ETX) A telegram is introduced by the control character STX and com-
pleted by the control character ETX.
Error recognition Errors during data transfer are recognized by the following mech-
anisms:
■ Calculation of the block check character of the utility data.
■ Monitoring the timeout between telegram and acknowledg-
ment.
■ Monitoring minimum telegram length.
Block check character BCC The block check character BCC can be used to recognize
whether malfunctions during data transfer have altered the con-
tent of the utility data. The block check character is calculated in
accordance with the following formula:
BCC = XOR ( D0 ... Dn )15

Tab. 8-3
Error handling is activated when malfunctions are recognized

during the data transfer at the time the block check character is
checked.
Timeout monitoring. The following times are monitored during data transfer:
■ Time between the reception of two consecutive characters.
■ Time between transmitting a telegram and receiving the
acknowledgment from the remote station.
Error handling is activated if these times exceed the adjustable
timeout interval (10 ms ... 10 s).
15 If BCC < 0x20 → BCC = BCC + 0x20

Monitoring the minimum The first 8 Bytes of the utility data block can contain the control
telegram length. character STX or ETX. The monitoring of the minimum telegram
length prevents the content of the first 8 bytes of the utility data
block from being falsely identified as either the beginning or end
of the telegram.
Error handling is activated in cases of telegrams which are too
short.
Acknowledgments The transfer of the telegrams is acknowledged with the charac-

ACK / NAK ter ACK (positive confirmation) and NAK (negative confirmation).
Acknowl- Size HEX

Description
edgment [byte] display
Acknowledge (correct data transfer)
ACK 1 0x06 This acknowledgment is sent under the following conditions:
■ Telegram has been received without error
Not Acknowledge (error in the data transfer)
This acknowledgment is sent under the following conditions:
■ Telegram received without STX
NAK 1 0x15 ■ Telegram received with incorrect BCC
■ Telegram received without ETX (Timeout)
■ Timeout interval between two characters was exceeded
■ Telegram received with less than eight bytes in the utility data
block (Timeout)
Tab. 8-4
Error handling Faulty data transfer is handled as follows:

■ Received data is discarded. An NAK acknowledgment is
sent to the remote station.
All of the error cases listed for the NAK acknowledgment are
handled this way.
■ The sending of the last sent telegram is repeated x-number
of times16 ("Automatic Repeat reQuest" ARQ),
− if a Timeout for the reception of the acknowledgment is
recognized by the remote station.
− If an NAK has been received as acknowledgment from
the remote station.
Communication setup Communication is always initiated by the customer control/PLC

as master. All incoming telegrams are acknowledged by the
laser marking system control as slave.
16 If the repetitions remain unsuccessful, then the data transfer is aborted

with an error message. The number of repetitions n can be set
between 1 and 6.

The following sections contain terms which have been defined

Service interruption In the case of a service interruption, it is temporarily impossible

to work with the laser marking system . The causes for a serv-
ice interruption may be:
■ an error in the laser marking system.
■ an error outside the laser marking system, for instance,
power supply failure.
■ deviations that cannot be measured by the control system of
the laser marking system, for instance, loss of quality of the
marking results.
Monitoring In a laser marking system, numerous measured values are moni-

tored constantly, for instance:
■ Voltages
■ Currents
■ Temperatures.
Monitoring limits (warning limits) are determined for the meas-
ured values. The laser marking system works in normal mode if
all measured values are within the defined monitoring limits. If a
measured value lies outside the defined monitoring limits, a mon-
itoring message (warning) is displayed on the user interface.
A monitoring message does not necessarily result in a service
interruption. The message however indicates that a malfunction
may occur soon. The cause of the message should be elimi-
nated as soon as possible.
Error Error limits have been defined for the measured values moni-
tored. If a measured value lies outside the defined error limits,
the control system switches off the laser . The laser marking sys-
tem may again be operated in the usual way only after the
cause of the error has been eliminated.
3.2 Messages
During the operation, the operator is informed about the devia-

tions from the permissible operating conditions of a laser mark-
ing system via messages. Not all deviations from the permissi-
ble operating conditions lead to a message since only deviations
8‐28 Monitoring messages, service interruptions 2018-08 MA-EN-370

that are measurable in the system can be detected by the
control system.
The following is possible in connection with messages:

■ A service interruption.
■ Restricted further operation with reduced laser power.
■ Unrestricted further operation with the possibility of a mal-
function.
This section contains a description of:

■ the types of messages.
■ the structure of the messages.
■ what is to be done if a message is displayed.
Types of messages
Two types of messages can appear on the user interface:

■ Monitoring messages (warnings).
■ Fault messages (error messages).
Monitoring message A monitoring message is displayed if a monitored operating

→ Warning value is outside the permissible range.
The laser marking system can still be operated without restric-
tions. Eliminate the cause of the message at the next opportu-
nity.
Example
Replace fan number 1 at the next opportunity if a message indi-
cates that the speed has reduced by 30 %.
Monitoring messages may also be displayed when you try to
switch on the laser without all the requirements being fulfilled,
e.g. if the safety circuit is not closed.
Fault message → Error A fault message is displayed if a monitored operating value is

message so much outside the permissible range that a malfunction limit is
exceeded.
If a fault message is displayed, the laser cannot be operated
before the cause has been eliminated.
Structure and content of the messages
A message is displayed in a message window:
MA-EN-370 2018-08 Monitoring messages, service interruptions 8‐29

Layout of the message window Fig. 1144
Message To the upper left of the message about message event, the rele-
vant "message code" is displayed, e.g. "5301 0B0A". To it right
is the component which is the origin of the message, e.g. the
control program "TruTops Mark" ®. Other examples are particular
circuit boards of the laser control system.
Effect The text indicates the status of the laser marking system or a
component after a message event.
Cause The text indicates the possible reasons for the message event.
In cause of several causes, the message expands over several
pages with the possible measures for every cause.
Measure Every cause is assigned to one or more messages for eliminat-

ing the cause.
Detail This text contains detailed information about the understanding

of the message event, its causes and possible measures.
Button F9 A click of the F9 button closes the message window. This also
triggers a reset of the laser marking system if necessary.
3.3 Finding causes
If a monitoring message is displayed or if there is a service inter-

ruption, it is important to find out the cause quickly and take
remedy steps.

You can:
■ evaluate monitoring and error messages.
■ carry out a visual check or function check-out.
The following sections contain tips on how to proceed.
Evaluating messages
Monitoring or error messages contain information about:

■ Possible causes.
■ Measures for eliminating the causes.
A message may contain several causes. Usually only one of

these causes will have resulted in the message being displayed:
■ The pump module cooling monitoring has responded.
■ The temperature at the pump module is too high.
Implement the suitable measure to eliminate the respective

cause:
■ Check the ambient temperature.
■ Check the cooling air paths for possible obstacles.
Visual check, function check-out
Service interruptions may also occur without a message being

displayed.
Example
The quality of the marking results has deteriorated.
Possible causes, among others, are:

■ The protective glass on the focusing lens is soiled.
■ The working distance between the workpiece and the focus-
ing lens is set incorrectly.
This type of causes cannot be identified by the monitoring devi-
ces of the laser marking system. It is therefore necessary to
check the condition of the laser marking system and its sur-
roundings carefully. In this way, you can find out which meas-
ures are required to eliminate the causes of service interruptions.

While searching for the causes of service interruptions,
DANGER you or other persons may be at risk! You may come into
contact with live parts!
Inappropriate or careless behavior can cause death, injury
or damage to property!
Ø Only trained personnel is allowed to search for causes of
service interruptions.
Ø Never touch live parts.
Ø If possible, switch off the laser marking system and discon-
nect the power plug.
While searching for the causes of service interruptions,

WARNING you or other persons may be at risk!
Ø Only trained personnel is allowed to search for causes of
service interruptions.
Ø Do not look into the focusing lens.
Ø If the laser is operated without a safety cover, wear laser
safety glasses that are adapted to the wavelength and inten-
sity of the laser beam.
Ø Also make sure that the shielding is in place on all sides.
Informing the TRUMPF Service Department
Contact the TRUMPF Service Department, if you cannot detect

the cause for a service interruption yourself.
Tell the service staff:

■ what you have noted.
■ the number of the message displayed (see "Structure and
content of the messages", pg. 8‐29).
■ Laser marking system number/system number (chapter 1
"Safety", section 3 contains a list of all signs along with their
positions on the laser unit).
If needed, the service staff will assist you on site in restoring the
functionality of the laser marking system.

Note
The contact details of the global TRUMPF service agencies can

1.2 Timing diagrams of the digital

interfaces
The >5 Digital interface module must be activated for the proce-
dures described in this section.

Load marking file into the If you wish to select and start a program that is not labeled as
memory (e.g.'PR10.VLF') '1.VLF'...'255.VLF', then you must set Command (E7) and
Data_in_1..8 (E17..E24) to "Low" and afterwards give a positive
slope to Start_mark(see "Fig. 1078", pg. 9‐5).
As soon as the System_ready (A2) output switches to High, a
marking program can be loaded from the hard drive into the
working memory of the control computer via the digital interface
using the Command (E7) "01"Hex. The transmission of the
Marking file-name occurs in bytes and begins with the command
byte, followed by the data bytes: "STX <Drive:\Path\Marking file-
name> ETX". If the drive and path specification is missing, then
the marking file will be searched for in the preset directory
(TruTops Mark®: >5 Tools >7 Configuration "directories").
Example:
Load PR10.VLF into internal memory of the control computer
sending string: 01Hex STX P R 1 0 ETX
Byte transfer sequence: 2 If data is active, the 4 Reset Strobe_in to "Low"

Data_select, Command slope)
3 Wait until/Busy_in switches to
"Low"
Timing diagram: Load marking file in the memory Fig. 1076

Transferring the variable If the System_ready (A2) output is "High" and a marking file
content of the current was loaded to the memory using Command (E7) "01Hex", then
marking file: (e.g. Var1= variable contents can be transferred to the loaded marking pro-
"ABC") gram using Command (E7) "02Hex". To start this program, you
have to set Command (E7) and Data_in_1..8 (E17..E24) to
"Low" and give a positive slope to Start_mark.
Example:
Loading "Var1" with "ABC"
Sending string: 02Hex STX 1 = A B C ETX
The transmission occurs in bytes and starts with the command

byte followed by the data bytes: STX <Variable number> = <Var-
iable content> ETX.
■ <Variable number> = 1
■ <Variable content> = ABC
Byte transfer sequence: 2 If data is active, the 4 Reset Strobe_in to "Low"

Selecting and starting If a number > 0 is present at Data_in_1..8 (E17..E24), then the
marking file (e.g. '8.VLF') current marking program will not be started. If this is the case,
then the marking file name will be determined on the basis of
the number at Data_in_1..8 (E17..E24).
Example:
Selecting and starting marking file '8.VLF'
Data_in_1..8 → 8Dec
255 different marking files can be selected and started with this

1.2 Notes on maintenance
Proper maintenance is an important pre-requisite for problem-

free operation. Appropriate maintenance keeps the quality of
marking results constant.
The laser marking systems are designed to require little mainte-
nance. All important operating values are monitored electroni-
cally. A monitoring message displayed by the control computer,
can be a cause for a maintenance measure.
Check the condition of your laser marking system on a regular
basis. Carry out maintenance tasks as a precautionary measure
if you detect signs of wear or contamination.
Pay attention to the messages displayed on the screen of the
control computer. The messages may give information about
necessary maintenance work.
MA-EN-370 2018-08 General 10‐3

sons.
Ø Always observe the warnings in this maintenance manual.
Ø Before starting maintenance, switch off the laser marking
systems.
Ø Remove the power plug from the supply unit.
Ø Remove the power plug from the control computer.
Note
The laser marking systems may be switched on during mainte-
nance work only if it is necessary for maintenance or control pur-
poses. You will be informed about this in the corresponding pas-
sages of this manual.

Certain maintenance work or the dismantling of a laser system
and/or individual components create waste materials that need
to be disposed of. Recommendations for this are given at the
appropriate places.
Note
The recommendations for disposal of waste materials are
derived from the regulations applicable at the time and place of
preparing this document. As the user of a laser unit, you are
under the obligation to inform yourself about local regulations
concerning waste disposal and to observe these regulations.
Waste materials are to be disposed of as follows, unless stipu-

lated otherwise in these regulations:
Pump modules
Computer boards Waste electronics
Cable
Exhaust system filter Hazardous waste
Seals, O-rings
Heat-conducting foils (carbon)
Lens cleaning paper Residual waste
