Hello,
I’d like to replace my small laser (12v 1A) with a more powerful one.
This one, powered by 12V, consumes 3.5A, while the MKS DLC32 V2 only has 2A.
How can I connect the DLC32 to a 12V 5A power supply dedicated to the new laser?
Thanks everyone.

As long as there is 12V to the controller everything is fine, but you have to make sure that the 3.5A is redirected to the laser itself, this is where the extra power is needed. Btw, you can easily use a power supply with e.g. 5 or more Amps, it is the voltage that must match your controller.
DLC32 will run on 24V, if you module is 24V the board can carry up to 50W@24V, 25W@12V for the laser module power.
Thank you for your answers.
What I get involved is the wiring to co-exist the DLC32 card, the laser and the 12v 5A feed.
The 12V supply will run the controller, but the 12V supply has to run to the laser module, bypassing the control board.
The only connection with the controller and the laser module is the ground and pwm control signals.
Most of these come with a daughter board that allows a bigger power supply for the laser. Effectively isolating one from the other at that power level. Ground and pwm are still needed to control the laser.
I would be interested in the references, models corresponding to your explanations below.
