Ŷ Input/output connections
Connections to external equipment and accessories are made via the industrial interface
board, which consists of dedicated terminal connectors.
Several types of signals can be utilized, including:
Ƒ Input/Output signals for synchronization with the production line - start print (TOP),
tachometer (TACHY), reverse message (INVMES), etc.,
Ƒ Serial links for external control of the printer (RS232 / RS422 interface),
Ƒ Alarm/fault outputs (dry contact relays),
Ƒ Audible alarm output,
Ƒ Message selection signals on parallel interface,
Ƒ Additional photocell input,
Ƒ Counter increment input,
Ƒ Counter initialization input,
Ƒ Others.
Auxiliary connections
The wiring for the signals can either be connected on:
Ƒ The industrial interface board terminal (1) with wires entering via the IP65 sealed
cable gland(s) (2). Open the cabinet covers to access the board.
Ƒ or, as an option for certain signals, on IP 65 DB-25 parallel connector (3).
The glands and the connectors are located at the back of the printer.
