8. Connections and signals

This machine has a number of inputs to connect sensor’s and a control. Outputs are available for applicators, a printer and other purposes.

8.1 Output signals

This machine has eight outputs, which switch the output from open circuit to + 24V. The maximum current must not exceed 500 mA. The four signals for error messages, machine ready, low material and warnings are available for other machines in the process or additional alarm signals. For connecting an applicator three signals are available and one additional for the printer.

The output signals are available at terminal connector CN33 on the main board. The wiring of the terminal is shown otherwise.

8.1.1Error and warning output

The outputs for errors and warnings are available on the terminal CN33 and optional on the I/O plug. The signals are switched active (+24V) if an error or warning occurs. When the error or warning is erased, the signal becomes passive again.

8.1.2Printer output

This machine can be connected to a printer. To use the printer the PDT parameter should be adjusted.

A new label cannot be dispensed until the printer dwell time set in PDT is over.

8.1.3OD-Control output

This output is switched active (+24V) if the OD-Control input is switched active during dispensing.

8.1.4Ready output

This output shows when the machine is ready for labelling. This output is switched inactive if there is:

an error message appears in the display

the mains supply voltage has fallen below specification

the machine requires initialisation

in OFF condition.
