8 PRINTING RECORDS AND CONNECTING TO A PC
8.1 PRINTING RECORDS
As a standard feature, the AUSTROMAT D4 allows you to document a
completed firing program for quality assurance. In addition, we offer you the option of
manually retrieving records through our PC software, DREAM
®
(see Section 8.2).
The internally unchangeable record monitors and documents the progress of the set
program, especially the target and actual values of the programmed parameters for the
vacuum and heating, as well as established fluctuations in temperature during the
holding periods (only when the firing chamber is closed).
Printer requirements:
• Modern printer with a serial RS232 interface (9600, 8, N, 1)
(any printing method: needle, thermal, ink, laser, etc.)
• Minimum input memory (input buffer) 1 Kbyte
• Minimum line length: 50 characters
To connect the printer to the furnace, you need a well-screened (serial) printer cable
with a socket connector to connect to the furnace. The data is printed out in standard
printing characters (ASCII).
Connection:
• Turn off the furnace (ON/OFF switch is on the rear), see p. 6.
• Make sure that the printer is turned off.
• Connect the furnace and printer with the interface cable
• Turn on both devices.
There are two options for printing the records:
1. Manual printout
After the program is finished, press the function key Print record (see Figure 16).
The record is then printed out on the printer.
2. Automatic printout
In this case, a record is printed out automatically each time a program is completely
finished. Activate the menu item Print record in Setup (see 7.6.3).
In any case, you can manually print out a record after a firing is completely finished.
You can obtain as many additional copies of the printout as you want by pressing the
function key Print record.
The following record diagnoses are possible in deviation from the following example of
a record:
1. Firing processed correctly
2. Temperature could not be reached
3. Vacuum could not be attained
4. Excessive temperature fluctuations
