Introduction
General informations
This documentation describes the serial communication with the Collamat®3600/6600
an a PC or Laptop running under Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11and Windows 95.
Prevention of accidents
While installing and connecting the Collamat®6600 take care that the signal cables and
power cables can't become obstacles. The cables must be placed and installed accor-
ding to the national safety requirements. Take care that the signalcables are not placed
beneath power cables.
The mains switch and the controll elements must be easily accessible.
Noise suppression
The dispenser C6600 is shielded according to the CE directives. Only cables which are
certificated by Collamat Stralfors AG may be used for connecting the dispenser to the
peripheral units and the mains power. Additional peripheral units must be connected to
the auxiliary mains terminal of the dispenser. These assemblies must be certificated by
Collamat Stralfors AG.

Testmode
The firmware of the Collamat® 3600 has a standard test and diagnostic routine. If the
DIL-switch TEST is switched on while turning the power on, the firmware starts the test
and diagnostics routine. See also figure 2.
In the testmode, the motor is started and stopped periodically with the speed, set on the
SPEED potentiometer. If there are any labels threaded through the Collamat® 3600,
the labels will be dispensed periodically.
In the testmode, the Collamat® 3600 can be controlled by an ASCII-terminal or a PC
with a terminal emulation software. The communication with the Collamat® will be done
through the connector X104 using the RS232 protocol. The test software is menu driven
and self explaining. The user language is English.
To communicate with a PC, a serial communication cable is used. The figure 6 shows
the electrical connections of the serial cable:

Test software
When the Collamat® 3600 is connected to the terminal, it must be switched on. At this
moment the DIL-switch TEST must be set to on. The traction unit begins to turn with the
speed set on the SPEED potentiometer. The terminal shows the following message:
COLLAMAT 3600 V1.01

Pressing the spacebar stops the motor intervall test. Now the following help menue will
be displayed:

BUS-signal selftest
The BUS-signal selftest tests all in- and outputs of the Collamat® signalbus. For this
test a diagnostic connector (see figure 8) must be plugged into the busconnector X102
(left side).
Attention:
To avoid damage of peripheral units or sensors, all sensors and bus-
cables must be removed from the connectors.

DIL-switch DEL
This DIL-switch selects the mode of delayed predispensing. In this mode, the predis-
pensing is delayed, until the moment when the product has left the goods scanner's
position.
DIL-switch NS
This DIL-switch selects the Nonstopmode. In the Nonstopmode two Collamat®6600
can be used to work in a zero downtimemode. For further information to the Nonstop-
mode, please read the chapter Nonstopmode.
DIL-switch R1
This DIL-switch selects the function of the POSITION-potentiometer. Switched off the
potentiometer has the normal POSITION-function. Switched on, the potentiometer is
used to adjust a GSC1-suppression. The working range of the suppression then is the
same as in the POSITION-mode.
DIL-switch R2
This DIL-switch selects the working range of the potentiometers. For further informati-
ons, please read the chapter Testmode. The factory setting of the potentiometers is the
normal working range.
The function of the SPEED potentiometer can be changed in the testmode. If the
DIL-switch R2 is switched on, the potentiometer SPEED can be used to fineadjust the
steprate of an incremental encoder in the range of ±10 %. The speed is then measured
with an incremental encoder. See also chapter Testmode and Incremental encoder.

Testmode
The firmware of the Collamat®6600 has a standard test-, diagnostic- and programming
routine. This routines are called when the DIL-switch TEST is set to on at power on.
In the testmode, the motor is started and stopped periodically with the speed, set on the
SPEED potentiometer. If there are any labels threaded through the Collamat®6600, the

to its position, the potentiometer values are scanned or stored.
In the testmode, the Collamat®6600 can be controlled by an ASCII-terminal or a PC
