149⿎ Link control with external devicesTroubles Causes MeasuresLink control withimage checker andcode reader failsThe connections with theimage checker or codereader are inadequate.• Refer to Setup/Maintenance Guide for the wiring andcommunication settings.• If the Ethernet communication settings or RS-232C usage arechanged, restart the laser marker.Communication settings areinadequate.Marking cannotbe done in anappropriate positionwhen the function ofposition correction isusedThe coordinates of the imagechecker are not consistentwith the marking position ofthe laser marker.Set the calibration of the image checker and match thecoordinate origin of the image checker to the center point of themarking field of the laser marker.Settings of the image checkerare inadequate.Confirm the following settings of PV230/PV200.• Setting of Ethernet with the protocol General communication• Calibration• Settings of the positional correction• Expression of the numeric calculationThe setting order of theexpression table of PV230/PV200 is inadequate.The results of the numerical calculation should output to the lasermarker in the order of X, Y, and theta.The results of thecode or characterchecking is NG.Testing conditions of imagechecker are inadequate.Set appropriate testing conditions of the image checkeraccording to marked code type or character settings.Unnecessary objects areincluded in the capturedimage.Do not place the code symbols or characters other than theimage checking target in the imaging range.When PV230 is used:Settings of the totaljudgement are inadequate.• For code checking, confirm the settings of the code readerchecker of PV230.• For character checking, confirm the settings of the OCRchecker of PV230.• Cofirm the expression of the numeric calculation in the totaljudgement.When PV230 is used:No settings in the characterdictionary of PV230.To use the character recognition function, set the dictionary ofPV230 for each marking character beforehand.Ghost image of fumes(smoke) occurring duringmarking is taken in theshooting range.• Install a dust collector to get rid of fumes (smoke).• Check that the dust collector works well.Marking disorderSince the work feeding andmarking start/end timing areinadequate when TIMING INsignal is used, the vibrationaffects marking.Turn TIMING IN signal ON after work piece is fully stopped.To feed works after marking, check that TIMING WAIT OUT isturned ON and start feeding works.ME-LP-GS-SR-COMP-3
