E1701D modular XY2/100 scanner controller
- CLIENT: HALaser Systems
The E1701D modular scanner card is a scanner and laser controller used in laser marking industry. It is the only modular scanner controller card worldwide and with the smallest ground-size out there and it is the only one which can be extended by additional boards providing different signals and outputs. So it is not necessary to buy one fully featured card and to pay for functions that are not needed. Via its extension boards only those functions and I/Os can be added, that are really required.
These extension boards are plugged onto baseboard. Several of them can be combined freely according to required functionality.

E1701D Baseboard is an analogue scanner card which can be extended by options described below and provides following features:
- 16 bit XY2-100 interface to scanhead with X, Y and Z channel
- 18 bit XY2-100-E interface to scanhead with X and Y channel
- can be used with any scanhead with XY2-100 or XY2-100-E interface
- 100 Mbit Ethernet connection
- USB 2.0 connection
- online XYZ grid correction with support for several correction table file formats (like SCAPS™ .ucf, Scanlab™ .ctb and .ct5, Raylase™ .gcd, GSI/CTI™ .xml)
- high-definition online XYZ grid correction with BeamConstruct HD correction files (.bco)
- switching between up to 16 grid correction tables during marking process
- 10 microseconds vector cycle time and resolution (microstep period)
- command execution time down to 0,5 microseconds
- realtime processing of laser and scanner signals
- 26 bit internal resolution (for better quality also with 16 or 18 bit hardware output)
- can control nearly every laser type (this may require extension boards as described below)
- two laser CMOS level digital outputs for usage with YAG, CO2, IPG™ and compatible laser types (outputs can provide PWM frequency, Q-Switch, FPK-pulse, continuously running frequency, stand-by frequency), running with frequencies up to 20 MHz
- 512 MByte DDR3 RAM
- 1 GHz CPU clock
- support for Micro-SD and Micro-SDHC cards with up to 32 GByte disk space for stand-alone operations
- extremely low power consumption of about 1,8 W (Baseboard without any Extension Boards)
- internal command and vector data list with more than 17 million entries
- continuous list concept, no need to swap between lists
- BeamConstruct PRO license included
- open source compatibility library that emulates existing programming interface for fast and easy usage with existing software (contains e.g. Scanlab™ RTC4™, SCAPS™ USC™/SCI and other compatible interfaces)
- very small size of about 87 mm x 55 mm
LP8 Extension Board requires a baseboard as described above and provides additional signals for controlling lasers and external equipment. It offers following features and functions:
- LP8 8 bit CMOS level parallel digital output e.g. for controlling laser power
- LP8 latch CMOS level digital output for usage with IPG™ and compatible laser types
- Master Oscillator CMOS level digital output for usage with IPG™ and compatible laser types
- 8 bit 0..5V analogue output e.g. for controlling laser power
- two laser CMOS level digital outputs for usage with YAG, CO2, IPG™ and compatible laser types (outputs can provide PWM frequency, Q-Switch, FPK-pulse, continuously running frequency, stand-by frequency), running with frequencies up to 20 MHz
Digi I/O Extension Board requires a baseboard as described above and provides additional I/Os for controlling external equipment. It offers following features and functions:
- 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs can be switched to opto-insulated mode with external power supply of up to 24 V
- 2 inputs can be used for 90 degree phase-shifted encoder signal for marking on-the-fly applications
- inputs can be used to select one of up to 256 stand-alone marking jobs stored on microSD card of baseboard
Secondary Head Extension Board gives possibility to connect additional scanheads:
- XY2/100 interface for an additional scanhead marking parallel to head of baseboard
- up to three of these extensions can be used with one E1701D baseboard to connect up to four scanheads
