Different lasers have different connection modes. Take ordinary glass tube
laser as example. The optical signal of ordinary glass tube laser is 5V, and
set low level for light emitting. The power signal PWM of main board is
connected to the IN pin of laser power source and TTL to the L pin of laser
power source. All signals have uniqueness, which is connected to this
group of signals, other pins do not need to be connected. You could
connect the water tank by the WP pin (water protection) of the main
board or the P pin (water protection) of laser power supply, and please
pay attention that you could only choose one of them. For the RF tube
laser power supply, only connect the PWM of the main board to the IN pin,
GND to G pin, and no need to connect TTL pin.

1.6.2.6 Motor Drive Control Port
The wiring board can provide up to 6 motor driver connections, and users
can choose step driver or servo driver according to the need. The servo
driver has higher control accuracy than step driver. Users can choose the
appropriate driving mode according to the usage scenario, cutting
precision requirements and cost factors. We take the step driver as an
example. Various types of servo driver wiring diagram, please refer to

Parameters page and move cursor to【Distance Per Pulse】, press
【Enter】. Input 200mm into【Expected Length】and input the
distance between A and B into【Actual Length】. Then press【Enter】,
the distance per pulse of Z axis will be calculated.
6) When multi-head cutting, the calculation of distance per pulse of
U/V/W is the same as Z axis. Mark the position of laser head3 to
calculate the distance per pulse of V axis. Mark the position of laser
head4 to calculate the distance per pulse of W axis.
When the pulse distance value of any axis is close to or less than 1, the
pulse distance can’t be adjusted and is always 1. Users need to adjust pulse
of motor driver first, then measure the distance per pulse again. The
recommended pulse distance value is 5 or more.

this value increases or decreases in unit of 50 or
100 each time.
Engrave Acc
(mm/s2)
The variation of engraving speed and it is only
effective to engrave.
Start Speed
(mm/s)
The initial speed of laser head from rest to motion.
Speed Factor
Parameter changes throughout the system. We
suggest that lower speed is going to be filled in
with 0.5 or 1, while regular speed with 2 and high
speed with 3 or 4. This option should be filled in
with 0.05 when cutting acrylic or wood. It also has
an impact on smoothness when turning.
During cutting process, if the actual cutting speed is far less than the
working speed users have set, it indicates that the【Cut Jerk】is set too
small, so that the laser head cannot reach the set working speed quickly.
If the actual cutting speed is relatively fast, the cutting line will jitter, this
case indicates that the【Cut Jerk】is set too high and the parameter value
should be reduced. In the same way, if the【Space Jerk】is set too small,
the speed of laser head will not reach the set speed when there is no laser
output. If the parameter is set too large, the initial position of cutting
(after the laser head moving without laser) will jitter.
Page 67
AWC708C PLUS Motion Control User Manual
WWW.SZTROCEN.COM
66
The start speed is the initial speed of the laser head from rest to start
movement. If the cutting line is too thick at the initial position of cutting,
it indicates that the parameter value is too small. If the line jitters at the
initial position of cutting, this parameter value is set too large.
The speed factor controls the speed of turning during cutting. If the cutting
line is too thick when turning, the parameter is too small. If the cutting
line is too thin when turning and the graphics cannot be cut completely,
this case indicates that this parameter value is set too large, users should
set a smaller value.
The【Engrave ACC】is the change rate of speed during engraving. This
parameter is only valid during engraving. During the engraving process, if
the space distance of laser head is too large, then the【Engrave ACC】is
set too small and should be adjusted appropriately. If the space distance
of laser head is too small and the edge of graphics is not carved completely,
it indicates that the【Engrave ACC】is set too large and should be reduced
appropriately.

Distance Per Pulse
(um)
The single distance or angle which the motor moves, when
the controller sends a pulse signal. If set incorrectly, the
graphics will change.
Valid Pulse Edge
Effective values for driver level to change, Falling Edge or
Rising Edge.
Datum Direction
The direction in which the machine moves when reset. If set
incorrectly, the axis moves against origin direction.

the panel. When set incorrectly, the axis moves opposite
direction.
Limit Polarity
The control level that limit switch passes to the control
panel. When set incorrectly, the limit will fail.
If the limit sensor is NPN, the limit polarity is negative.
If the limit sensor is PNP, the limit polarity is positive.
Range(mm)
The working range of machine.
Start Speed
(mm/s)
The initial speed at which the axis moves from rest to
motion.
Max ACC
(mm/s2)
The maximum acceleration value of the motion axis when
the axis increases or decreases speed.
Max Speed (mm/s)
The maximum speed which the motion axis supports.
Zero Offset (mm)
The zero point of machine will move a zero offset distance
along X+ direction.
In some special cases, the machine's origin point cannot be cut. AWC708C
PLUS supports the Zero Offset function, which can move the zero point of
machine to other positions along the positive direction of the motion axis.
Take X axis as example, if the X axis【Zero Offset】is set to 50mm, the
machine origin point will move 50mm along X+ direction, and this position
is the new origin (zero) point of machine.

AWC708C PLUS supports MultiHead function, when single laser head
works, fill “1” into【Head Count】, when two or more laser heads work,
fill “2” / “3” / “4” into the【Head Count】.
Users can set single belt or double belt according to the need. Under
double belts condition, if one of the belts becomes loose, the cutting
effect of the laser head becomes worse, while the cutting effect of the
other laser head is not affected.
When the Laser head1 and Laser head2 cutting together, if enable the
【Nearer Laser for LeftOver】function, cutting to the edge of the graphics
where the main laser head can’t cut, the Laser head2 will continue cutting
automatically. If disable the function, when cutting to the position where
the Laser head1 can’t cut, then the part of the file can’t be cut. The
common cutting of laser heads 1 and 2 is shown in Figure 7-6-2, while the
mutual movable double laser head cutting is shown in Figure 7-6-3.
