Page 22: X84; Description Of The Communication Signals
Communication Note In the diagram above, the Inputs are wired to the internal power supply, available on the connector of the CCU (+ 24 V DC). The "Marking in progress", "Machine ready" and "Fault" Outputs are wired to an external power supply. „ Description of the communication signals • Start marking (Input) - To activate the "Start marking" Input, establish a zero potential electrical connection between pins 4 and - This connection must not be inferior to 500 ms nor superior to the cycle time of the marking file. • Stop marking (Input) - To activate the "Stop marking" function, open the electrical connection between pins 5 and 9. - This input does not guarantee immediate stoppage.
Page 23: X84; Timing Diagrams Of The Communication Signals
Communication • Fault (Output dry contact) - The information "Fault" is available between pins 2 and 7. It is provided by a potential free "dry" contact (relay contact). - This signal indicates that the CCU has a fault (either of power, or of CPU).
