THE PRINT LINE BUS (PLB)

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

 

 

It doesn’t matter which PLB box in the print line segment provides the power for the PLB, however, each print line segment must have only one source of power.

The RS232 connection is used by support personnel to maintain the PLB box. It is also used by the printers to carry communications data.

Characteristics

The maximum length of PLB cable between the first PLB box and the last is of 100 metres (330 feet).

Up to 10 PLB boxes can be networked on the PLB.

Segmentation

The segmentation of the print line is possible through the PLB.

Segmentation is the ability to assemble devices in a number of ways to form the print line required. Each device available in the print room is connected to its PLB box. All PLB boxes are linked together.

The idea of segmentation is to allow you to define as many print lines as you require, according to the devices available. These print line definitions can then be recalled at any time. See "Defining a paper path" on page 7-21.

Each print line has to be defined under a separate name. For example:

•cutter line 1

•folder line 2

Note: You should name each print line clearly enough to be able to recognize it easily. It may be useful to label each device so as to be sure that all devices required by a defined print line are suitably prepared for the job. For example if the unwinder defined by the print line is not ready, it will show the status not ready and no work will be produced.
