6.9 How Do I Connect to the Host Machine Interlocks?
The 15-way D-type connector, located on the side of the ICE Torus, please see Figure 6.7-1,
also has connections for a variety of useful interlock and annunciation signals for use with the
host packaging machine or conveying system.
PLEASE NOTE: The power (current) supplied from the ICE Torus printer is very low, 100mA
Max. Therefore, the internal power supply should NOT be used for powering indicator status
lamps (Fault, Warning, Print) and a separate power supply should be used for this purpose.
The following table summarises these inputs and outputs:-
Pin Purpose
1 24V DC Supply
2 Print (PNP)
3 0V DC
4 Line Select 0 (IN)
5 Line Select 1 (IN)
6 Line Select 2 (IN)
7 Fault Out (COM)
8 Fault Out (N/O)
9 Warning Output (PNP)
10 Spare Output (PNP)
11 Line – Strobe (IN)
12 0V DC
13 Line Select 3 (IN)
14 Encoder Channel B (IN)
15 Encoder Channel A (IN)
Wiring notes:
The ‘Fault’ contacts (7, 8) change state as the printer enters and exits a fault condition.
