3 IPM Overview
The Ophir IPM (Industrial Power Meter) is a family of products designed to offer laser power measurement
solutions in a tough industrial environment. The products are designed to be rugged, dust proof and splash
proof with an IP rating. They use only industrial connectors such as M12, Mini 7/8" and AIDA types.
The IPM-10KW has heavy duty connectors and an interlock output. For dust and splash protection, the user
can order the IPM-SHUTTER10 which provides an automated shutter and a field replaceable anti reflective
coated protective window. Integration into modern automation systems is available with the IPM-COM
communication module (EtherNet/IP or Profinet).
Based on the tried-and-true "10K-W" sensor, the IPM-10KW can be used for measuring the average power of
high-power lasers up to 11kW. As in all water-cooled sensors, proper attention should be paid to the water
flow rate, water temperature and temperature stability. The limitations mentioned in the specification sheet
should be carefully followed. Furthermore, for recommendations on the quality of the water and water flow
rate, please consult the Ophir paper on the subject at https://www.ophiropt.com/laser--
measurement/knowledge-center/article/10000
The power, power density, energy and energy density limitations on the use of the IPM are related to the
beam size and those limitations as stated in the specification should also be followed. There are also
limitations on beam divergence and beam centering as stated in the specification.
It is recommended that safety precautions should be taken to turn off the laser in event of overheating of the
sensor. For this purpose, a safety interlock is provided for connection to the laser source. (See section 3.2.3).
3.1 Introduction
The IPM product family is made up of several modular components allowing the most cost-effective solution
for every application.
The IPM family components:
•IPM-10KW: A water cooled 10kW laser power sensor with built in measurement electronics and
RS232 communication, interlock output and water flow meter interface.
•IPM-SHUTTER10: An optional shutter module containing a protective glass window and an
electromechanical dust-tight shutter, as well as a built-in scatter shield.
•IPM-COM: An optional industrial communication module. Separate modules offer EtherNet/IP or
Profinet communications.
NOTE
The IPM-10KW is referred to as "IPM sensor" throughout this document
Additional features and interfaces:
•Interlock connection: Can be used to automatically disable the laser if an error condition is detected,
for example overheating or inadequate water cooling of the sensor
•Disk temperature sensor: The IPM sensor contains an internal temperature sensor to detect an
overheating condition, for example if the cooling water flow rate is too low, or if the laser power is too
high. This can be used to switch the interlock to disable the laser via the interlock connector.

11 | IPM USER MANUAL
7Z07106 - REV 2 - 25/OCT/2022
USER MANUAL
•Water flow meter interface: A connector is provided to connect an external water flow meter
(customer supplied) to monitor the flow rate of the cooling water; this can also be used to switch the
interlock to disable the laser.
•RS232 command set and StarLab software package: A full set of RS232 user commands are
provided to control and monitor the IPM sensor. Additionally, Ophir's StarLab PC Application provides
support for the IPM sensor via RS232 control. See below for more details.
•Industrial Protocol Registers: A fully documented set of binary registers offering control commands
(write mode) and monitoring (read mode) is provided with the IPM-COM unit. See below for more
details.
3.2 Application options (all combinations of the options below are possible)
3.2.1 Basic application
•In this application the IPM sensor is connected via the (supplied) RS232 cable to an RS232 host
such as a PC or a PLC.
•24V power is supplied via a separate M12 power connector
•Alternatively, power can be supplied via the RS232 connector itself (which has dedicated pins for
power) using a custom-built cable (not supplied). See below for more details.
Basic Application example:
3.2.2 Shutter module IPM-SHUTTER10.
The shutter module is sold separately and has several features:
•Remote controlled shutter with dust tight rubber seal
•Anti-reflective coated protective window
•Scatter shield for reduced back scatter

12 | IPM USER MANUAL
7Z07106 - REV 2 - 25/OCT/2022
USER MANUAL
With additional IPM-SHUTTER10:
3.2.3 Interlock
•If the sensor overheats due to insufficient cooling water flow, an internal temperature sensor can
be used to trigger the interlock mechanism. This output can be connected to the laser interlock
system in order to turn off the laser automatically and prevent damage to the sensor.
•The interlock can also be controlled by the water flow meter, if the water flow rate drops below a
pre-determined minimum level
•Details for connecting the interlock are provided below
•The sensor temperature can also be monitored via the RS232 link
With interlock:

13 | IPM USER MANUAL
7Z07106 - REV 2 - 25/OCT/2022
USER MANUAL
3.2.4 Water Flow Meter interface
•Can be used for precise water flow measurement and control of the laser interlock
•Ophir does not provide the flow meter, the customer will purchase and connect it to their water
cooling system
•See below for instructions on how to connect the flow meter to the IPM sensor and suggested flow
meter models
•The water flow meter measurement data is available via the RS232 or industrial link and can be
calibrated by the customer
With Water Flow Meter connected
3.2.5 Integration with an industrial protocol network
•The IPM-COM is an optional unit that converts the RS232 communication from the IPM sensor to
commercial industrial communication protocols such as EtherNet/IP and Profinet
•The IPM-COM has two communication connectors and two power connectors for easy daisy
chaining
•Only one cable is required to connect the IPM-COM with the IPM sensor (supplied with the
IPM-COM).
•Power for the IPM sensor is supplied from the IPM-COM.
