4.3 Adjustment of the optical label scanner
Proceeding of the adjustment of the optical label scanner:
Switch on the Collamat 2600. Set the label scanner potentiometer to zero.
Pull the labelweb so that the gap is located below the marking 1 of the scan-
ner. Turn the potentiometer until the red LED on the scanner goes off. Con-
tinue pulling the labelweb until a label is located below the scanner. Continue
turning the potentiometer until the LED switches off again.

5Technical description
5.1 Dispenser board
All the electronic devices including power transformer, except of the main
switch with indicator lamp, are located on a printed board. The dimensions of
the board are approximately 215 x 234 mm. Figure 8 shows the board with
all the connectors and terminals.
The description is divided into power supply, motordriver, controller and firm-
ware.
5.1.1 Power supply
The power supply unit generates the two regulated voltages +12 V/1A and +
5 V/0.5A for the logic, as well as an unregulated DC voltage of approx. 32 V/
3.5 A for the steppermotor. The 5V stabilization is done by linear voltage reg-
ulators. The 12V is stabilized by a switched mode regulator.
5.1.2 Motordriver
Thedriverboard consists of2H-bridge circuits todrivethe two motorphases.
The phase current is 3 A while running, and 0.7 A when stopped. To control
the current, a chopper circuit with 23 kHz chopper-frequency is used.
Dependent on the dispensing speed the processor generates a sinusoidal
current.
In the case of overheating, short-circuit or malfunction the motordriver is swit-
ched off. In this case the labeler must be switched off and on again. If over-
heated wait until the labeler is cooled down to ambient temperature. After a
short circuit replace the appropriate fuses.
5.1.3 Controller
A single chip micro-controller manages the functions of the labelling process.
•All the inputs are pulled up to +12V with 2.2 K and are equipped with a low-
pass filter.
•The potentiometers for speed and predispensing are scanned immediate-
ly before performing a labeling cycle.
•The control current of the label scanner is generated by a current source
controlled by the thirt potentiometer.

5999.505-01C 12.06.2007 WM212
5.2 Signals and connection diagrams
All in- and outputs are equipped with filter elements to prevent electromag-
netic interference. These components also prevent interference caused by
electrostatic discharge. The interference can lead to malfunction of the Col-
lamat 2600. Anyway, installing the Collamat 2600 you have to consider the
rules concerning RMI and ESD to prevent these interferences. See also
chapter Cabling.
5.2.1 Inputs
The inputs are used to connect peripheral units and sensors. The inputs are
activated while they are pulled to GND (0 Volt). The peripheral units from HM
Collamat AG have NPN-outputs to 0 Volt. Figure 9 shows the schematic dia-
gram of the inputs:

6Software
After turning on the labeler, the input signals are scanned to start a labeling
cycle.
The dispensing of a label is triggered by the negative edge of GSC (Goods
scanner input). The stop of the labelling is triggered by the detection of the
gap (LSC) and performing the remaining steps for the predispensing.
The timing diagram of the signals is shown in Figure 14:
1. Length of the predispensing
If the signal FEED is active the motor is turning. The FEED signal has no
electrical tabs on the Collamat 2600 terminals.
If the predispensing is increased, it is executed immediately. If it is reduced,
it is executed after dispensing the next label.
To generate the holding torque, the motor is powered all the time.
If, for any reason, no negative edge is detected on the LSC-input, the label-
web is automatically stopped after approximately 0.75 meters.
The stepper motor is driven by a sinusoidal corrent figure.
The minimum speed is 3 m/min. The maximum speed is 15 m/min.
