System Overview
3.3.3 F/W Architecture of Engine Control Firmware
- The Engine Control Module is executed every 10msec as interrupt job of main system. There are three
control modules, i.e., Engine Main Control Module, Engine Interface Module and Sensing & Unit Control
Module.
- Probably from usual state it will be able to rehabilitated a prior to entry error state in error condition it is to
confirm. When the if rehabilitation is possible then after rehabilitating it goes back in usual state, else with
an error condition it goes in error state. Currently the rehabilitation function of the low heat error , the over
heat error and the LSU error is embodied.
- Low Heat Error
When the error occurrs, it does not indicate an error. It stores the present temperature and supplies the
heat to the fixing unit during the scheduled time. If the temperature goes up after scheduled time, it goes
back to a normal state. However, if not, it is formed that an error occurrs.
- Over Heat Error
When the error occurs, it informs an error first. It stores the present temperature as well and waits a
scheduled time. If the temperature goes down after scheduled time, then it goes back to a normal state.
However, if not, it is formed that an error occurrs.
- Lsu Error
When the error occurrs, it does not indicate an error. It accomplishes printing only again. If even time
when it judges an error, it informs an error. Concretely speaking, if the LReady or Hsync error happens,
the paper exits out beforehand. And then the engine mode is changed to recovery mode and the engine
informs the main system of the engine mode. And the engine checks the LSU error in itself. If the error
doesn't happen, the printing job will be proceeding.
3.3.4 Engine Interface Module Design
Engine Interface Module communicates with the main system in order to receive the command from main system
and to transmit the present engine status for the requested status. There are two sub functions. One is a function to
receive the command from the main system. The other is a function that informs the main system of the current
engine status for the requested item.
3.3.5 Engine Sensing & Unit Control Module Design
Engine Sensing & Unit Control Module consists of 4 sub-functions. The first function is an ADC function that reads
the ADC values of the temperature of the fixing unit. The second one is a fixing unit control function. This function
regulates the temperature of the fixing unit within a fixed range to be set by the paper type and the number of pages
to print out. The third one is a fan control function that controls the fan unit. And the last one sets the flag that
describes the present status of each sensor.
