INDUSTRIAL INTERFACE KIT
TheIndustrialInterfaceBoardaddsoneserialcommunicationport
("uart3")andoneconnectorwithfourINandfourOUTportstothe
standard serial communication port ("uart1:").
The IN/OUT ports provide an interface between the printer and
varioustypes ofexternal equipment,such asgates, conveyorbelts,
wrappers etc. The input and output signals can be read or initiated
bymeansofIntermecFingerprintinstructions.Therebytheprinter
can be used to control the external devices – or be controlled by
them – according to the program.
Theprinter'sfirmwaredetectswhenanIndustrialInterfaceBoardis
installed and adds communication and buffer setup options for the
communication port "uart3:".
Whenan IndustrialInterfaceBoardisfitted,thefollowing typesof
interfaces become available:
"uart1:" Fittedon printer's CPUboard.
RS232C Standard. Selectedby strap.
RS422 or20 mA CL Option. Additional circuits required.
"uart3:" Fittedon Industrial InterfaceBoard.

IN/OUT connector Fittedon Industrial InterfaceBoard.
4input channels The software can read the status of four different
inputsignals.
4output channels Thesoftwarecan setfourdifferentsignalstoeither
openor closedcontact and also read theirstatus.
The Industrial Interface Kit consists of:
• 1 Interface board assy.
• 2 Screws MRX-Z 3 ×6 FZB (not intended for EasyCoder 501/

❑Remove the existing cover plate.
❑Make sure that the CPU board is strapped and equipped for the
desired type of communication on "uart1:" (see the EasyCoder
501 or EasyCoder 601 Technical Manual). Once the interface
boardhasbeenfitted,itwill bedifficulttoaccesstherearpartof
the CPU board.
❑Fit the required straps on the Industrial Interface Board as
described on page 5.
❑Connect the cable from the interface board to connector P-4 at
the bottom rear corner of the CPU board. Be careful so the
interface board and the CPU board do not come in contact with
eachother,whichpossiblymaycausedamageorshort-circuiting.
❑Fit the interface board assembly to the printer's rear plate from

Straps
Communication Port "uart3:"
RS 232C:
There are no straps for controlling the RS 232C interface on
"uart3:".
External +5V:
External +5V ( max. 200 mA) can be made available on pin 16 by
fitting a strap on P-1.
Be careful not to enable this option unintentionally, which may
cause harm to the connected terminal, computer or other device.
In/Out Connector
In/Out port 201-204:
One relay for each port switches the OUT signal to open or closed
as PORTOUT ON/OFF statements are executed in the program.
Four straps, P-2, P-6, P-7 and P-8, control the relation between
relay and output signal on output ports 201–204 respectively:
PORTOUT stmt Strap between pins OUT signal
PORTOUT(<nexp>) ON 1–2(upper position) Open
PORTOUT(<nexp>) ON 2–3(lower position) Closed
PORTOUT(<nexp>) OFF 1–2(upper position) Closed

Connector Configuration "uart3:" is a DB25 female connector.
The In/Out connector is a DB15 female connector.
The mounting holes are connected to chassis ground.
OUT signals are controlled by means of
PORTOUT (<nexp>) ON|OFF statements.
IN and OUT signals are read by means of
PORTIN (<nexp>) functions.
