Definition of general output port


Pin Symbols Definitions
1 GND Power ground (output)
2 Out2 General output, with the function reserved.
3 Out1 General output, with the function reserved.
4 Status General output for the signal port of running status. If this port is
externally connected with the relay, the relay coil is broken over
when it works; no influence is produced when it suspends working.
When its work ends or is stopped manually, the relay coil will be
cut off.
5 Wind General output for blower control. When the blower control is
enabled, this port will output the control signal of the blower,
otherwise it will output other special control signals. When the
blower is connected and its control enabled, the blower switch can
be set separately on each layer. If the relay is connected
externally, the relay coil will be broken over when the blower is on;
the relay coil will be cut off when the blower is off.

4.7 General Input Port CN2

Pin Symbols Definitions


1 GND Power ground (output)
2 FootSW Input port of foot switch. The connection method is: when the
pedal is stepped down, the low-level signal will be inputted to
this port; when the pedal is released, the port will be
disconnected or the high-level signal can be inputted to this
port; when the stepped-down pedal is held for not less than
100 ms, if the machine lies idle, it can be started for work; if
the machine is in the working state, the work will be
suspended; of the machine is in the suspension, the work will

11
Shenzhen Reader Technology Co., Ltd
be restarted, that is to say, the function of the pedal switch is
the same as that of the “Start/Pause” key. If the interval time to
the first stepping-down of the pedal should be less than
100ms when the pedal is stepped down once again, the
second stepping-down of the pedal will be considered invalid
by the mainboard.
3 DrProc Input from protective port. If the machine needs to be
protected in the special state (such as door open protection),
the protective signal can be inputted from this pin. This pin can
be enabled and prohibited. This signal is not inquired by the
mainboard if this pin is prohibited; if this pin is enabled, when
the input is high-leveled or this input port is suspended, the
machine will be protected, the work suspended and the laser
closed.
4 Shot Input for manual laser on/off. Low level is to open laser
and high level or no-connection is to close laser.
5 IN1 General Input, with the function reserved.
6 +24V 24V Power positive output (If the interface of main power
source is powered with 24V power supply, this pin should be
24V; if it is powered with 36 V power supply, this pin should be
36V.)

4.8 4-axle Spacing Input Interface CN3/CN4

X/Y axle spacing input CN4


Pin Symbols Definitions
1 GND Power ground (output)
2 LmtY- The spacing from axle Y- and Y to 0 coordinate
3 LmtY+ The spacing from axle Y+ and Y to max. coordinate
4 LmtX- The spacing from axle X- and X to 0 coordinate
5 LmtX+ The spacing from axle X+ and X to max. coordinate
6 Puxy 5V Power positive (output)

The spacing polarity is optional, that is to say, when the motion axle reaches the
spacing position, it will trigger a low-level signal so as to make the corresponding LED
(under the cover) light; when the motion axle leaves the spacing position, it will trigger a
high-level signal or disconnect the spacing signal so as to make the spacing indicator go
out, but when it leaves the spacing, the corresponding indicator will light and the spacing
polarity become positive. The mistaken setting of spacing polarity will result that the
spacing can’t be detected when the system is reset so as to lead to the collision of axles.

The pin definitions of Z/U axle spacing input CN3 are the same as CN4.

12
Shenzhen Reader Technology Co., Ltd
All XYZU axle spacing inputs are compatible to 5V/12V/24V logic level inputs。

4.9 X/Y/Z/U axle Motor Driver Interface AXIS_X~AXIS_U

The interfaces of the above four motion axles are the same. The AXIS-X interface is
exampled.
Pin Symbols Definitions
1 DIR Directional signal (OC output)
2 PUL Pulse signal (OC output)
3 +5V 5V Power positive (output)

The polarity of directional signal for driver pulse signal can be set. Where a certain
axle is reset, it will move to the opposite direction of machine origin, which means the
polarity of directional signal for this axle is not correct. In such a case, the connection
between this axle and the motor driver can be broken first (otherwise the mainboard can
not be detected to the spacing so as to lead to the collision of this axle), and then such a
polarity can be corrected after this axle is reset completely. Upon the correction, the reset
key can be pressed against to reset the mainboard.

And, the Pulse signal can be falling edge valid or rising edge valid. The default setting
is falling edge valid.

The Pulse signal and the directional signal are all OC outputs. The
Controller must be common anode with the motor driver

4.10 Laser Power Control Interface CN5/CN6

This control system has two independent and adjustable digital laser power control
interfaces. Signals of the two interfaces are similar and the first digital interface (CN5) is
hereby exampled:
Pin Symbols Definitions
1 GND Power ground (output)
2 L-ON1 Laser-enabled control interface
1. When the laser is the RF laser, this pin will not be used;
2. When the laser is a glass tube, if the used laser is outputted in
the low-level form, this pin will be connected with the laser power
enable end and used to control the ON/Off of laser.
3 LPWM1 Power control interface of laser/laser tube
1. When the laser is the RF laser, this pin will be connected with
the laser RF-PWM end;
2. When the laser is a glass tube, this pin will be connected with

13
Shenzhen Reader Technology Co., Ltd
the laser power PWM end and used to control the power of the
laser.
4 WP1 The input port of water protector for the first laser power source.
When the water protector 1 is enabled, the mainboard will detect
the input port of water protector 1. If this port is of low level, it will
be deemed normal; if this port is of high level, the mainboard will
forcibly close the laser to suspend the work in progress and the
system will warn. If the water protector 1 is not enabled, the
mainboard will not detect the input port of water protector 1 and so
the water protector 1 can be unconnected.
Water protection input must be 24V logic level.

6 Examples of Driver Interface for Step-servo Motor

6.1 Brief

The input signal end of step-servo motor driver employs the light-coupled isolation
technology. For the step-by-step impulse signal, some isolate the side OC diode from
cutoff to conduction (e.g. the valid falling edge of pulse signal inputted from the diode
minus end) and some do so from conduction to cutoff (e.g. the valid rising edge of pulse
signal inputted from the diode minus end).

When it is indicated whether the pulse signal of motor driver is the valid rising
edge or the valid falling edge, it will be subject to the pulse signal inputted from the
minus end of side OC diode.

Some input signals of motor driver are independent and some are internally of
common anode, so some have 4 external leading-out wires and some 3 wires (only the
pulse and directional signals are counted) as shown in Figure 6.1-1 and 6.1-2.

RDC644XG Controller has four groups of 3-wires motion driver interface, each
interface has one direction signal, one pulse signal, and one 5V positive output, the
direction signal and the pulse signal are all OC output.

RDC644XG controller must be common anode with the motor driver. The
polarity of the direction signal can be changed in the factory parameters, and the
valid edge of the pulse signal can also be changed.

9 Manufacturer/User Parameters Explanation

9.1 Manufacturer parameters

(1)Motor parameters

X/Y/Z/U axle parameters


 Direction Polarity: Modification of direction polarity can move the motor to the
opposite direction. The modification purpose can move this axle to the origin on
resetting. If this axle moves far from the origin on resetting, it means the
direction polarity of this axle is wrong in setting and should be modified.
 Spacing Polarity: it is used to set the high and low level mode of spacing signal.
When the motion axle arrives at the spacing position and input a low-level signal
to the mainboard, the spacing polarity at this time should be set to be minus.
 scope: it means the farthest distance that the motion axle can move, which is
determined in accordance with the actual condition of the machine.
 Distance from Origin to Hard Spacing: if this axle enables hard-spacing
protection, generally this value should be set to be 2~5mm; if it is set to be 0,
when this motion axle moves to the smallest coordinate, i.e. 0, this spacing may
be validate, which may wrongly triggers the hard-spacing protection and scram
the machine. If the hard-spacing protection is not enabled, this value can be set
to be 0~5mm.
 Control Mode: Double pulse or direction+single pulse are optional, in general,
direction+single pulse is selected.
 Motor Stepping: it means the impulse equivalent, the absolute distance gone
by the corresponding motion axle when a pulse is delivered to the motor. Prior to
the correct setting of this value, a large rectangle can be cut with the machine
(the larger the figure is, the smaller the difference is). The motor stepping can
automatically be calculated according to the figure length and measuring length.
 Hard-spacing Protection: it is used for whether the hard-spacing protection of
this axle is enabled.
 PWM Rising edge valid:To set the motor driver’s pulse signal rising edge valid
or falling edge valid. If this item is disabled, the pulse is falling edge valid, or, it’s
rising edge valid.
 Reset Enable: if the machine is provided with this axle, its “Reset Enable”
should be opened; if no, its “Reset Enable” should be prohibited.
 Takeoff Speed: it means the speed of the motion axle in direct start from the idle
condition. If this value is excessively large, it will make the motor lose steps, jar
and even squeak; if small, it will reduce the running speed of the whole figure. If
the inertia of the motion axle is larger (the axle is heavier), you can set a smaller
takeoff speed; if smaller (the axle is lighter), you can increase the takeoff speed.

48
Shenzhen Reader Technology Co., Ltd
For example, the typical value is 5~30mm/s.
 Maximum Speed: it means the maximum limit of motion speed that this axle
can bear. This parameter has something to do with the driving force of motor, the
inertia of motion axle and its drive ratio. For example, the typical value is
200~500mm/s.
 Maximum Acceleration: it means the maximum acceleration of the motion axle
in accelerated or decelerated motion. If the acceleration is set too large, it will
make the motor lose steps, jar and even squeak; if too small, it will cause the
reduction of acceleration so as to reduce the running speed of the whole figure.
For the axles with larger inertia, such as Y axle corresponding to the beam, its
typical setting range is 800~3000mm/s2; for the axles with smaller inertia, such
as X axle corresponding to the car, its typical setting range is
8000~20000mm/s2.
 Scram Acceleration: if this axle enables the hard-spacing protection, when this
axle moves to the spacing position, it will scram operation at the scram
acceleration. This value can be 2~3 times of the maximum acceleration for this
axle.

Key parameters
 Key Move Takeoff Speed: it means the starting speed to move this axle by way
of the keys on the keyboard, which can’t be higher than the takeoff speed.
 Key Move Acceleration: it means the acceleration to move this axle by way of
the keys on the keyboard, which can’t be higher than the maximum acceleration
of this axle.
 Key Polarity: it is used to control the movement direction of the axle that is
moved through manual operation of the keys. After the direction polarity is
correctly set, if you press the directional keys on the operating panel, this axle
will move to the opposite direction. In such a case the polarity of keys should be
modified.

(2)Laser parameters

 Laser Configuration: single laser and double lasers are available for option and
set in accordance with the laser-tube quantity provided by the manufacturer.
 Laser Type: glass tube, RF laser (not need pre-ignition pulse) and RF laser
(needing pre-ignition pulse) available for option.
 Laser Attenuation Quotiety
 Laser Enable: When double lasers are used, then each laser can be
respectively enabled or disabled.
 Minimum Power
 Maximum Power
 Laser PWM Frequency
 Pre-generation Frequency
 Pre-generation pulse scale: When the laser is RF-laser and it’s need to

49
Shenzhen Reader Technology Co., Ltd
pre-generate PWM, then set the Pre-generation Frequency and the
Pre-generation pulse scale.
 Water Protector Enabled: When the water protector is enabled, the mainboard will
detect the input port of water protector. If this port is of low level, it will be deemed normal;
if this port is of high level, the mainboard will forcibly close the laser to suspend the work
in progress and the system will warn. If the water protector is not enabled, the mainboard
will not detect the input port of water protector and so the water protector can be
unconnected.

Laser PWM Frequency is used to set the pulse frequency of control signal used
by this laser, in general, glass tube is about 20KHZ, RF laser is about 5KHZ; the
maximum/minimum power (%) is used to set the limit power of this laser, that is to say,
during the operation, the maximum power set by the user can’t be higher than that set
here and the minimum power set by the user can’t be less than that set here, either.
When a laser’s power is attenuated, then the laser attenuation quotiety may be set

If it is only provided with the single laser, it can show the one-path
parameter.
Prompt

(3)Other manufacturer parameters

Machine configuration
 Machine Type: In most cases, the general engraving machine should be
selected and other types used for specific purposes.
 Transmission Mode: generally the “Belt Stepping Type” should be made choice
of. The control algorithm will be changed a little when other types are selected.
 Feeding Mode: it has single-way mode and two-way mode for option. If it is of
single-way feeding, it is unnecessary to check the coordinates. Feeding can be
conducted in the single-way mode; if it is of two-way feeding, the system will
check the maximum and minimum coordinates. The odd sequence means
feeding should be done to one direction and the even sequence means feeding
done to the other direction. The initial direction for the first time can be changed
through setting the directional polarity or modifying the plus and minus values of
the feeding length.
 Power-Off-Restart Delay: it can be set to be 0~3000ms. After the power-off of
the electricity grid, the power supply of the system will not drop to 0 at once.
There is a delay during this time. The delay value set here should basically
consistent with the actual off-delay value. If the deviation of set value is larger,
on the de-energizing for continuous engraving, either the figure processed for
the second time is not closed with that before the cutoff, or it is coincided with
that too much.

50
Shenzhen Reader Technology Co., Ltd
After the configuration parameters in the manufacturer parameters, such
as directional polarity, control mode, laser type and laser PWM
Prompt frequency, are modified, the system should be reset. Such a modification
can function upon the resetting of the system.

Enable parameters
 Door Opening Protection: If this item is enabled, then the door opening
protection must be connected to the controller, or, the machine will not run.
 Whether to enable the blower: If using wind out port to control the blower by
the graph layer parameter, this item must be enabled, or, the wind output is a
signal for other using.

9.2 User parameters

(1)Cutting parameters(Only affect cutting arts)


 Idle Move Speed: this parameter decides the highest speed of all non-lighting
lines for the machine in the movement process.
 Idle Move Acceleration: it means the highest acceleration of all non-lighting
lines. Idle stroke speed and idle stroke acceleration can be set higher to reduce
the working time of the whole figure, but if they are set too high, it may cause the
jarring of track, so comprehensive consideration should be given to the setting.
 Idle Move Delay : If this parameter is zero, then after idle moving there is no
delay, or, there is delay and the speed will decrease to turn off speed.
 Turning Speed: it means the speed of turning at the acute-angle corner, which
is also the highest speed in the whole cutting process.
 Turning Acceleration: it means the acceleration of turning at the acute-angle
corner when cutting. If the two speeds are set too high, jarring will happen to the
turning; if set too low, it will influence the cutting speed. This acceleration is the
least value of the whole graph.
 Cutting Acceleration: it means the highest acceleration value in the whole
cutting process.
 Acc Factor: This parameter indicates how speedy the cutting acceleration is
changing.
 G0 Acc Factor: This parameter indicates how speedy the idle move
acceleration is changing.
 Speed Factor: This parameter indicates the cutting speed of the arc of various
curvatures.

● Key Setting: This is a button but not a parameter, this button is used to
recommend some experiential cutting parameters.

(2)Scanning parameters(Only affect scanning arts)

51
Shenzhen Reader Technology Co., Ltd
 X-axle Starting Speed
 Y-axle Starting Speed
 X-axle Acceleration
 Y-axle Acceleration
The above four parameters are used to set the starting speed and acceleration
of two axles on the scanning. The higher the two speeds are, the quicker the
scanning is.
 Scanning Line-feed Speed: this parameter is specially used to control the
highest speed at which that the previous line vertically moves to the next line in
the scanning mode. If the space between lines is larger during the scanning or if
the distance of each block is larger during the scanning and deblocking of figure,
it is necessary to position each line or block accurately. In such a case the speed
of scanning line-feed can be set as a lower value.
 Scanning Mode: it is divided into general mode and special mode for option. If
special mode is used, the laser power should be increased. The smaller the
speckle percentage is, the more the laser power reduces. The laser power to set
should be larger in order to reach the same scanning depth. The purpose to
select the special mode is to make the laser light at high power and short time.
On the depth scanning the effect that the bottom is flatter is obtained, but it
should be noticeable that if the speckle adjustment is not appropriate, it can
achieve this goal. If the high power remains short, the lighting mode will
influence the life of the laser. The system will default the selection of general
mode.
 Speckle Size: When the general mode is selected as the scanning mode, this
parameter will become ineffective; when the special mode is selected, this
parameter will become effective. The controller will control this parameter
among 50%~99%.
The cutting and scanning parameters can’t exceed the limited ones in the
axle parameters. If so, the setting will become ineffective and the system
Prompt will automatically cover the parameters with the axle parameters.

(3)Feeding parameters
 Before-feeding Time Lag: settable at 0~300s. The lagged time can facilitate
user’s feeding and picking on the feeding device.
 After-feeding Time Lag: settable at 0~9.9s. It can facilitate the feeding device’s
delaying in jarring after moving to the correct position and waiting for the 2nd
work after the feeding axle stands still completely.
 Progressive feeding: If this item is enabled, then the dummy array graph on Y
direction will run in the same position, running one line graph, the U axes moving
one time to feed, the moving length of U axes is the interval of the two lines
graph on Y direction.
 Progressive feeding repay: Because of the imprecision of U axes’ moving,
there can set a value to repay the interval of the two lines graph on Y direction.

52
Shenzhen Reader Technology Co., Ltd
(4)Reset parameters
 Reset Speed: it means the speed of X/Y-axle linkage reset to the origin.
 X axle start-up reset(Auto home)
 Y axle start-up reset(Auto home)
 Z axle start-up reset(Auto home)
 U axle start-up reset(Auto home)
You can select “Yes” or “No” in the field of the above four parameters, which is used
to confirm whether each axle can be reset on the startup.

(4)Go scale parameters


 Go scale Mode: “Blanked Bordering” means idling to start border preview;
“Outputted Border Cutting” can manually cut off the well-processed figure;
“4-corner Dotting” means to emit the light at four corner points of the frame to
make a point and turn off light. The size and position of this figure can be
checked intuitively through the four points. The bordering speed is the speed
value set on the keyboard when the system is idle. For light output, its
minimum/maximum power is the corresponding value set on the keyboard when
the system is idle (The lasering power on the 4-corner dotting means the
well-set maximum power).
 Go scale Blank: It means whether to extend a certain length outside the actual
frame of the figure on the preview/cutting of frame.
If the frame crosses the border, the interface will prompt it. If the Enter
key is pressed at this time, the system will cut the border at the
Prompt maximum/minimum coordinates first, and then border the figure. This
bordering can be given up.

 Array Mode: Two-way array or one-way array can be selected. Two-way array
means the to-and-fro cutting of array in sequence; one-way array means the
cutting of array from one direction to another. On selecting one-way array, the
elements of each array are the same in action mode and completely uniform in
action fluency, which takes a little more time than two-way array. Two-way array
is the default option.
 Back Position: The origin (the relative origin) and the machine’s absolute origin
can be selected. This parameter decides the parking position of laser head after
each work.
 Focus Setting: it means the distance from the focal point of laser head lens to
Z-axle origin. When there is no automatic focusing function, this parameter
becomes invalid.
 Backlash X: The X axes’ backlash, accurate to 1um.
 Backlash Y: The Y axes’ backlash, accurate to 1um.
