Data Sheet
Description
The engraving unit has been specially developed for use on
the CMS-P1-PLOTTER.
The engraving unit is designed for use on the
CMS-P1-PLOTTER for the purpose of engraving plastic
labels. Plastic sheets with pre-assembled labels are
available from Phoenix Contact.
For normal applications, we recommend the use of gravers
with a grinding angle of 15°. These are available in widths
of 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0 mm.
It cannot be adapted for use with a different
X-Y unit.
Only CMS-P1-PLOTTERs with a
manufacturing date of January 2004 or later
can be used in conjunction with the engraving
unit. For the manufacturing date, refer to the
rating plate on the CMS-P1-PLOTTER.
PH X MM Y ZZZ (Y = year, MM = month)
Example: PH 0 07 6 001 = device
manufactured in July 2006
The engraving unit is designed for use on the CMS-P1-PLOTTER for the purpose of engraving plastic labels.
The use of other materials, such as aluminum, brass, steel, and glass is not permitted.
The use of lubricants and coolants is not permitted, as the vacuum cleaner used cannot handle liquid materials.
Only use Phoenix Contact gravers.

Important Notes on Engraving
Risk of damage to the device
Always switch the control unit on before the
plotter.
There must be no magazine on the plotter.
Secure the engraving material to be
processed.
Make sure that the carrier plate has sufficient
adhesive strength and clean regularly under
running water.
Only use non-slip pads from Phoenix Contact
to hold the materials to be processed.
There must be around 2 mm of space between
the bottom end of the engraving spindle and
the engraving material.
If the gap is greater or smaller than 2 mm, use
the calibration block to check the right-angle
alignment of the engraving unit.
The engraving unit is designed for use on the
CMS-P1-PLOTTER for the purpose of
engraving plastic labels. The use of other
materials, such as aluminum, brass, steel, and
glass is not permitted.
The use of lubricants and coolants is not
permitted, as the vacuum cleaner used cannot
handle liquid materials.

Engraving Individual Labels
With the engraving unit there is the option of not only
engraving the labels on a label sheet, but also individual
labels. Observe the notes for the source definition in the
manual for the CMS-MARK-WIN software.
Setting the Engraving Depth
The depth adjuster on the engraving spindle is used to set
the engraving depth. Depending on the width and the
grinding angle of the graver used, as well as the penetration
depth in the material, various lettering widths can be
obtained when engraving.
Figure 16 Depth adjuster
The engraving depth is adjusted by turning the depth
adjuster.
Turning clockwise increases the engraving depth, turning
counter clockwise decreases the engraving depth.
When you use the depth adjuster, you will feel it click. Each
click lowers or raises the graver by 0.05 mm.
If the depth adjuster is rotated clockwise by an entire
rotation, an engraving depth of 1 mm (20 clicks of 0.05 mm
each) is achieved. The depth can be read via the scale on
the left-hand side of the engraving spindle.
Changing Gravers
•Switch off the plotter and control unit.
•Loosen the fixing on the engraving head and remove
the engraving spindle.
The connecting cable does not have to be
disconnected.

Firmware Upload
New firmware can be stored in the CMS-P1-PLOTTER in
order to optimize the method of operation.
If an upload is performed via a parallel interface,
depending on the computer configuration it may be
necessary to deactivate or reassign existing printer drivers
that use this interface.
In the event of upload via a USB interface, it must be
ensured that the USB plotter driver has been installed first.
The data required for this can be downloaded from our
homepage on the Internet or requested via the
service hotline.
Proceed as follows to update the firmware:
•Save the downloaded files (uploadvp.exe and
vp5n-xxx.cas) in a directory.
•Switch off the plotter and the connected PC.
•Connect the two devices using the supplied parallel
data cable and switch them both back on again.
•To prepare the plotter for firmware download, press
the [STOP/VIEW], [Clear Buffer], and [ON] buttons on
the plotter simultaneously.
•Start the uploadvp.exe program on the PC
(e.g., double-click from Explorer).
The following message appears on the PC.

•Click on "Select file".

A window containing a selection of program data (*.cas) to
be loaded appears.
•Select the file to be loaded (e.g., vp5-1-07b_A3.cas
from the same directory as the uploadvp.exe program).
•Click on "Open".

The method of operation of the
P1 ENGRAVING UNIT depends largely on the
firmware (software) that is installed in the
plotter.
