Formatter PCA
The motherboard of the printer. It is the same type of board as found in a standard computer.
Engine PCA
The main controller of the printer. It is responsible for all the processes performed in real-time, and is the
ultimate controller of all electromechanical systems. The Engine PCA controls all substrate path components
(Drive Roller, Spindle Motors, OMAS, etc.), and all non-substrate path components (Carriage, Scan Axis Motor,
Print Head Cleaning Assembly, Service Station, etc). Attached to this board, is the Printer ID PCA.
Printer ID PCA
Contains printer identification. When replacing the Engine PCA, take care not to lose it.
OMAS PCA (360 only)
Controls the Optical Media Advance Sensor, used to measure substrate advance.
LAN Communication Card
Provides LAN communication.
Solid State Disk Drive (SSD)
Contains:
●
The printer firmware
●
The operating system
●
All calibration values, product number, serial number, and so on. In order to avoid loss in the case of
SSD failure, a backup is made in the ISS top board.
IMPORTANT: In order to prevent any loss of calibration values, do not replace the following at the same
time:
●
The Hard Disk Drive and the ISS Top Board.
Power Supply Unit (Main PSU)
This PSU delivers power to all the parts of the printer except heater elements. The internal rails are: 5V_sb;
3V3, 5V, 12V, 24V, and 42V.
PrintMech PCA
The PrintMech PCA is mainly used to control the mechatronics of the printer. For routing reasons, only the
parts connected to the left side of the printer are connected to this board:
●
Scan-Axis Motor
●
Substrate-Axis Motor
●
Ink Pressurizing Pumps and Valve
