The outer shell of the machine is the negative pole of the capacitance to be
measured. In order to ensure the stable operation of the measuring circuit, the FG foot
FSCUT1000S Laser Cutting Control System User Manual 12
of the power interface must be reliably connected to the outer shell of the machine.
The outer shell of the preamplifier must also be well connected to the outer shell of
the machine. The specific index is DC impedance less than 4 ohms, otherwise the
actual follow up performance may be poor.
The power output can only be supplied to limit switch.
Notice:
The above parameters setup and correct wiring can only guarantee the basic

2. The cable is not allowed to twist when it is installed in enclosed space. The twist
during installation may lead to premature damage of the core strand. This effect is
gradually strengthened in the operation of the cable, resulting in the phenomenon
of back-twisting, which eventually leads to core breakage and failure.
3. Cables must be laid side by side in the towing brackets. Isolating pieces should be
used to separate cables as far as possible. The gap between cable and isolator,
separator or its adjacent cables should be at least 10% in diameter.
4. The cables should be installed symmetrically according to the weight and size of
the cables. The larger diameter cables should be placed outside. Smaller and
lighter cables should be placed inside. Cables can also be placed from inside to
outside in order of decreasing size. One cable should be laid on the other cable
without the use of isolation panels.
5. For vertical suspension tow chains, more free space must be left in the vertical
bracket because the cable will be lengthened during operation. After a short period
of operation, it is necessary to check whether the cables are running along the
central area and adjust them if necessary.
6. For self-supported drag chain structure, cables are fastened to moving points and
45 FSCUT1000S Laser Cutting Control System User Manual
fixed points. It is necessary to use the appropriate cable support provided by the
towing chain supplier. When operating at high acceleration, the applicability of
cable strapping is very limited. It should be prevented to tie multiple cables
together. Cables should not be fixed or tied to the movable parts of the tow chain
in any way. The gap between fixed point and bending motion should be wide
enough.
7. For sliding towing chains, we suggest that cables should only be fixed on moving
points. Setting a small cable protection area at a fixed point (refer to the assembly
instructions of the tow chain supplier).
8. Make sure that the cable moves along the center area under the required bending
radius. Do not apply tension to the cable (do not pull too tight), otherwise the
friction inside the tow chain will lead to cable sheath wear. Do not let the cable
loose too much in the tow chain, otherwise it will easily lead to wear and tear
between the cable and the inner wall of the tow chain, or entanglement with other
cables.
9. If the cable is not running smoothly, you can check whether there is any distortion
along the longitudinal axis during operation. The cable should rotate slowly at a
FSCUT1000S Laser Cutting Control System User Manual 46
10. In view of the absolute size of cables and towing chains, their length variation
characteristics are quite different. In the first few hours of operation, the cable
stretched naturally. For towing chains, it takes many hours to run this phenomenon.
Such a big difference can be solved by regularly checking the installation location
of cables. We recommend regular inspections, once every three months in the first
year of operation, and then at each maintenance time. The contents include
checking whether the cable is completely free to move within its proper bending
radius and adjusting it if necessary.
(1) The ground wire adopts standard yellow green double color line.
(2) There are some high frequency signals (PWM, pulse, encoder, capacitance
signal, etc.) in the laser cutting machine tool. It is suggested to use
multi-point grounding.
(3) Galvanized earthing screws for machine tools and earthing with special
earthing wires. The resistance between the grounded metal main body and
the main grounding point should not exceed 0.1 ohms.
(4) It is recommended that the digital signal (PWM) shield layer be grounded
at two ends and the analog signal (DA) shield layer be grounded at one
end. Single ended grounding can avoid low frequency current noise on
shielding layer. Double-terminal grounding can effectively eliminate
high-frequency interference. If the transmission cable is long, multi-point
grounding is recommended to ensure that the shielding layer is
equipotential.
(5) The resistance of the cutting head connected by the amplifier to the shell
of the machine tool is not more than 1, and the resistance of the grounding
point to the electric cabinet is not more than 6.
4. Other specifications
(1) Each wire is marked and marked clearly and accurately.
(2) Line and line are arranged in parallel. No crossover is allowed. The
arrangement of wiring harness and line pipe should be straight.
FSCUT1000S Laser Cutting Control System User Manual 48
(3) When choosing Friendess wires, choose the appropriate type of wire
according to the layout space, do not accumulate hovering.
(4) All wiring must be reliable and not loose to prevent ignition.
(5) Wiring avoids formation of loops and prevents antenna effects. A current
loop consisting of a signal source, a transmission line, a load is equivalent
to a magnetic field antenna. As shown in the figure below, the wrong way
is on the left side and the right connection is on the right.
Except the USB interface, the other interfaces are not allowed to plug,
and the plug may cause the internal components to burn down.

After finish the wiring of electric circuit, you can start machine debug and
tuning:
(1) Connect terminal board and control card with C62-2 cable, and supply 24V
power to terminal board. Check LED indicator of input port on IO terminal board: If
limit switch is normally close, then X-/Y- LED is light. Manually trigger limit switch,
if LED lights off, it means wiring is correct. If limit switch is normally open, the LED
should be in off state. Manually trigger the limit switch if lights on, it means wiring is
correct. Check the other input port in the same way to make sure all the wiring are
correct and save time for machine debug.
(2) Start-up computer and CypOne software, enter in "BCL4562 monitor” page:
You can check all input and output status, manually change the output status.
Light in grey means signal port is inactive, when signal active the light will turn green.
When limit signal active the light will turn red.
When X, Y or Z axis servo enabled, the signal port turns in green, and turns blue
means controller sending pulses to the servo. Press X, Y and Z button to manual
enable or disable the servo. You can send command pulses in positive or negative
direction to the servo and test if pulses equivalent setting right.
You can also check all the custom input and output name set in config tool.

(3) Close monitor page enter in CypOne main interface. At the right side in
control panel manual jog Z axis up and down, press gas, laser and aiming beam, set
laser power to text the machine function.
The inertia ratio is a key indicators of machine performance features. You can
calculate the inertia ratio of each axis by a Servo Tool. You can download Servo Tool
on http://downloads.fscut.com/.As shown below:
The inertia ratio is less than 200% machine in light load can reach high speed
cutting.
The Inertia ratio is in 200% to 300% machine in medium load, cutting precision
is declined compared with light load in high speed, you need to lower the cutting
speed and low pass filter.
The ratio of Inertia is in 300% to 500% machine in heavy load cannot reach high
speed cutting.
Inertia ratio is more than 500%. There are serious design defects. Servo tuning is
hard to complete in a short time.
You can calculate the max cutting speed, max running speed and max
acceleration which can be used set in CypOne motion control parameters.
Experienced users can also calculate the Inertia ratio accurately through servo adjust
tool.
FSCUT1000S Laser Cutting Control System User Manual 68
Increase the low pass filter as much as possible without affecting the cutting
precision. The reference standard of test cutting is no waves around the corner in
rectangular, star type cutting. You can setup as the experiential value in below table.
Or you can setup the cutting acceleration then adjust the low pass filter frequency up
and down within 2 levels. The cut acceleration and low pass filter frequency must
match, does not setup a large value and the other too small.
