4 Introduction. Instructions Important information and instructions are designated as follows: Danger! Draws attention to an exceptionally great, imminent danger to your health or life due to hazardous voltages.!!! Danger! Draws attention to a danger with high risk which, if not avoided, may result in death or serious injury. Warning! Draws attention to a danger with medium risk which, if not avoided, may result in death or serious injury. Caution! Draws attention to a danger with low risk which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.! Attention! Draws attention to potential risks of property damage or loss of quality. i Note! Advices to make work routine easier or on important steps to be carried out. Environment! Advices on protecting the environment. Time Handling instructions Reference to chapter, position, picture number or document. Option (accessories, peripherals, extras). Viewed in the display / monitor.

5 Introduction. Content of the Documentation The documentation contains the description of the following interfaces, which are especially defined for Hermes+ : I/O interface (0) Connector warning light () Connector emergency stop () Connector central compressed air valve () The RS- interface () is uniformly defined for all cab label printers Configuration Manual. The interface for cab Applicators is an USB interface for data transfer between cab modules only. Therefore there is no further description in this manual. All other interfaces are standardized and therefore no matter of this documentation.

6 I/O Interface For use in a network the print module is equipped with an I/O interface to start and interrupt the printing and labelling process. It also passes on state information as well as error messages to the control of the network.. Pin Assignment The interface has a pin SUB-D connector.

SUE - Lower end position The pad of the applicator is Contact between Pin and Pin 0 (RUEL) ist closed in the labelling position PTE Label transport ON Contact between Pin and Labels are fed by the print module Pin 0 (RUEL) ist closed SOE - Upper end position The pad of the applicator Contact between Pin and Pin 0 (RUEL) ist closed is in the position where the labels are taken from the printer. Ground (0 V) for sensors or trigger switches FME Error Out of paper or "Out of ribbon" There is no (more) material (labels or ribbon) in the printer. The operation is stopped and the details and type of error can be read from the display. The last label printed while the error occurred will be repeated. Contact between Pin and Pin 0 (RUEL) is open EDG Print job available Print jobs are stored in the print module. 0 DB Printer is ready The printer is in Ready state. Printer and applicator are ready Printer and applicator are in Ready state. FEED Label feed A blank label is forwarded to synchronize the label transport; label feed is proceeded only if no print job is available or an error has occurred WDR Repeat print The last printed label is repeated, counters are not altered in mode "Print-Apply" only Print start signal Precondition : The superior control has confirmed with the ETE signal that the previous label has been taken from the peel-off position. Contact between Pin and Pin 0 (RUEL) is closed Contact between Pin 0 and Pin 0 (RUEL) is closed Switch on +V between Pin and Pin +V between Pin and Pin Print/application start signal +V between Pin and Pin

8 I/O Interface. Circuit Diagram of Inputs and Outputs The inputs are optocouplers with a current limiting resistor of. kω for a voltage of V in the input circuit. All input have the common reverse line _EXT : Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin Pin DREE FEED WDR PSE ETE DAL EDR _EXT Fig. Circuit of the inputs All outputs are realized through solid state relays which outputs are connected with one another one-sided. The joint line is lead to the plug connector as RUEL signal. The switch function of the outputs is to open or close the contact between the joint line RUEL and the respective output.
