PRODUCT OVERVIEW

THE PRINT LINE BUS (PLB)

 

 

The Print Line Bus (PLB)

The Print Line Bus (PLB) connects all devices in a defined print line. It is made up of PLB boxes connected to each other. Each PLB box is also connected to a single device.

The PLB box is unique to the device to which it is attached. This can be pre- and post-processing devices as well as printers.

The defined print line or print line segment will comprise a number of devices, all connected through the PLB. A print-line segment comprises only one data master, but can have several paper masters. All devices in a given print-line segment have to be available for the segment to be selected.

Identifying the PLB boxes

Each PLB box is identified by a unique hexadecimal code which is configured into the system at installation.

Cabling the PLB

Each cable must match the device to which it is attached. These will be correctly installed at installation of the printing system.

CAUTION

Using the wrong cable could cause damage to the equipment.

The PLB box has five connectors. Each PLB box must be connected to the next PLB box through the PLB network cable connected at either side of the box. Both end PLB boxes are terminated with a PLB terminator.

Each PLB Box is linked to its device through a dedicated cable through the Device connector.

Each print line segment is powered at only one PLB box. Power is supplied to the PLB box from a low voltage power supply and is transferred to the rest of the PLB boxes through the PLB network cables.
