Controlling the AR-200 from an External Device (Control Input Connectors)
Operational Specifications of Binary Playback

Basic Operation of Binary Playback

fig.inp-16
Playback:
Specify the phrases using combinations of 0 (Off) and 1 (On)
signals to Port Nos. 1 through 8, and Port Nos. 11 and 12, and
input a control signal to the Port No. 9 (START).
This plays back the specified phrase.
Stopping:
Input a control signal to Port No. 10 (STOP).
This stops playback of the phrase.
The basic operation of Binary Playback is shown below.
fig.inp-17
Binary specified phrases are played back repeatedly.
Playback is repeated while the start signal is continuously
input.
You can begin playback of phrases by specifying phrases in
binary with the start signal continuously being input.
When the START connector control signal switches to Off,
the current phrase finishes, and then playback is stopped.
No action results when a new start signal is input while a
phrase is being played back.

Example: Specifying Phrase 0112 (Phrase #: 0112)
1.
Convert the phrase number to a binary signal number.
”0” (Off)
”1” (On)
Phrase Number/Binary Signal Correspondence Table (p. 36)
The phrase number “0012” becomes the binary signal
“01110000.”
With the above step, Phrase No. 0112 is converted to:
