Page 19: System Overview
SYSTEM OVERVIEW The system consists of a controller with integrated keyboard, remote start/stop box (optional) and marking head. The Controller and Software The controller software lets you select the option you want by highlighting it using the cursor keys and pressing the Enter key or by pressing the appropriate function key. You can create marks (layouts) in either straight lines or arcs.
Page 20: Varidot Marking
Varidot marking In this mode you are allowed to choose the size of the character and the gap between the dots used to form the character. The minimum character size and increment steps are the same as the 5x7 characters. This is useful if you want to mark large characters.
Page 21: Guide To Effective Marking
GUIDE TO EFFECTIVE MARKING The Marktronic machines can mark a very wide range of work pieces using a variety of different character styles, sizes and depths. Fixturing IMPORTANT - Unless the work piece is held firmly then there is little hope of obtaining a good quality mark.
Page 22: Depth Of Mark (Dot Marking)
in gap. If using this approach the Split Line software function will assist if marking variable data. • Reduce the character size or width so that the whole mark is shorter. Depth of mark (Dot Marking) The depth of mark depends on the following factors •...
Page 23: Character Size (Dot Marking)
A large included angle (perhaps 120°) will result in a longer stylus life. A less deep mark will be obtained but the mark may be more readable, this is because individual dots will be wider. Marking Data Matrix codes with a stylus angle of 120° often produces the best results and leads to the most readable codes.

bad mark. If the machine is stalling try reducing the air pressure or reducing the marking speed. Stylus tip Radius (Scribe Marking) This is normally determined by trials on the material prior to delivery of the machine. Typical radii are between 0.5mm and 1mm. Generally, the smaller the radius, the deeper the mark, but small radii can lead to tearing of the material instead of forming it.
Page 25: Getting Started
GETTING STARTED Setting up For column mounted systems it is important to use a sturdy bench and fasten the base of the machine using the 2 mounting holes on the base. Before using the marking head for the first time fit the stylus nozzle, stylus and spring in position and check the stylus moves freely, The system is very easy to connect, all the connectors on the rear of the...
Page 26: Mode
There are two common modes available, ‘Windows Interface’ or ‘Embedded LCD’ Windows Interface Selecting this mode of operation, allows the controller to be used with Pryor’s Win2068, MarkMaster or Traceable-IT software. A separate manual covers the use of the PC software. This manual only covers use of the machine in ‘Embedded LCD’...
Page 27: Layouts
Layouts To produce any kind of mark a layout must be created. A layout contains information about the Text to be marked, its Size, Force and XY position. The controller can save many layouts in memory. Creating a layout Select “F8) Create layout” from the Main menu by pressing function key F8.
Page 28: Preview
Preview Select “F6) Preview” from the main menu. The entire marking area is displayed and in the top left corner, the text you have entered. It may be very small, to zoom in use the cursor keys to move the box with a solid outline over the text and press ENTER.
Page 29: Saving A Layout
interlock on the controller will stop marking by removing all power from the controller but will lose the current layout if it has not been saved. If the machine is a portable unit, it is possible to configure the Start button to also work as a Stop button while the machine is marking.
Page 30: Deleting A Layout
Editing a layout To make changes to the current layout select F5) Edit layout. The Text, Size, Force and XY position may be changed by using the up/down/left/right cursor keys to move the cursor between the various lines and parameters. To add a serial number to the second line of the current layout use the cursor keys to move the cursor to line 2 Text.
Page 31: Layouts
LAYOUTS Introduction A layout consists of a number of lines of information (up to 40). Each line has its own Text, Size, Force, XYZ position and many other parameters. The controller can store up to 1350 layouts (organised as 9 groups of 150 for ease of use) .
Page 32 Contents Text Text is marked exactly as it appears. Text Text is replaced by text from a bar-code reader. Bar-code Text is a serial number and is incremented after the Serial layout is marked. Text is replaced by the global serial number when Global serial the layout is marked.
Page 33: Font
Font The Font parameter specifies the style of character. The available styles are: Font Description Standard 5x7 dot matrix. 0.15 mm (0.006”) minimum 5x7 dot Size. Characters are formed from lines of dots, the spacing 5x7 varidot between dots can be specified. Not good for small characters.
Page 34: Prompt
As Arc (cw) but the arc is centred about Angle. Arc (cw) centred As Arc (ccw) but the arc is centred about Angle. Arc (ccw) centred Prompt When Contents is set to Variable, Serial or Data Entry Via then this parameter is used as a prompt that will be displayed when the serial numbers or variables are being edited.
Page 35: Diameter/Position
Diameter/Position When Circumferential marking mode is selected then Diameter may be used to specify a different diameter for each line of a layout. If it is set to 0.0 then the diameter specified when the layout was created will be used. When Normal or Reverse marking mode is selected then Position may be used to specify the distance to move the Circumferential motor.
Page 36: Cut/Paste Menu
To use these menus, move the cursor to the desired character. Pressing SPACE will place the character in the layout text at the cursor position and keep the character menu on screen. Pressing ENTER places the character in the layout text and closes the character menu.
Page 37: Serial Numbers And Variables
SERIAL NUMBERS AND VARIABLES Serial numbers Introduction Serial numbers automatically increment or decrement after a layout has been successfully marked. Serial numbers can consist of numbers or letters, the actual sequence they follow can be defined if the standard 0000-9999 configuration is inadequate.
Page 38: Editing Serial Numbers
To configure a serial number to be reset change the Ser.Reset value from Never to one of the above options. Then set ‘Reset to’ to the value the serial number should default back to on the configured event. Editing serial numbers To edit serial numbers (to reset a number back to 0001, for example) it is possible to just select F5) Edit layout, a better solution is to use F9) Edit serial numbers.
Page 39: Editing Variables
Editing variables To edit variables select F7) Edit variables from the Main menu. This shows the value of the global variable and the values of any variables used in the layout along with any prompts associated with them.

Test communications To verify that data is being received and transmitted from the controller select F6) Serial ports from the Test hardware menu. The bottom part of the screen will display characters that have been received; the top part will display characters that have been transmitted (by typing on the keyboard).
Page 59: 10. Digital Inputs And Outputs
10. DIGITAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS Introduction The controller has 8 opto-isolated 24v inputs and 6 solid state relay outputs that are available to interface to external equipment. A 24v 500 mA power supply is also available. Configuration The inputs and outputs can be configured to operate in several modes.
Page 60: Outputs
Outputs The outputs are solid state relay connections capable of switching 24V d.c. at up to 1A. The contacts should not be used to switch a.c. signals directly. To interface an indicator lamp, connect one side of the lamp to GND, connect the other side to the negative (-) side of the Output relay, then connect the positive (+) side of the output relay to 24V.
Page 61: I/O Select Layout Mode
Switch output n on (n is 1 to 6). Switch output n off (n is 1 to 6). Wait for input n to become true (n is 1-8). Wait for input n to become false (n is 1-8). Delay for n*0.1 seconds (n is 1 to 99). Process the next line of the layout if input n is true (n is 1-8).
Page 62: I/O Special Interface Mode
LAYOUT-30 LAYOUT-31 The READY signal indicates that the controller is waiting for a layout code. When the appropriate code has been applied to the inputs then selected layout can be loaded and marked by applying a pulse to the START input. The controller will reset the READY output and set the BUSY output while the layout is being marked.
Page 63: Test Inputs/Outputs
Wait for input n to become false (n is 4-8). Delay for n*0.1 seconds (n is 1 to 99). Process the next line of the layout if input n is true (n is 4-8). Decrement global serial number The following commands are available in firmware version 20.10 and above: Abort mark if input n is true.
Page 65: 11. Miscellaneous
11. MISCELLANEOUS Backup/restore The entire memory contents of the controller can be saved to a PC disk drive for safety. If a fault subsequently occurs and the contents of the memory are lost then they can be loaded from PC disk drive. A cable and a disk containing utility programs are available for this purpose.
Page 66: Counters
Counters The controller can count the number of times a layout has been successfully marked and stop at a pre-set limit. The value of the counter is displayed on the menu screen. There are two kinds of counters; layout counters and the global counter. A layout counter counts the number of times a particular layout has been marked, it is saved with the layout.
Page 67: Offsets
The Circumferential/programmable axis also has provision for a proximity switch to fix a zero position, this is not normally used. Offsets A layout can have its XYZ zero position defined as being offset from the absolute home position defined by the XYZ proximity switches. This may be used to prevent excessive movement to/from the absolute home position if the workpiece is an awkward shape.

previous home position) using X prox shift and Y prox shift. The configuration of the proximity switches (X prox and Y prox) may also need to be changed (NPN or PNP) if using the same option. Note that all XY positions will still be specified as though the home position was still at the top left corner of the marking area.
Page 69: Default Layout
ensure that if the controller is switched off the saved layout will contain up to date serial numbers and variables. Menu style - This setting determines which layout is to be used for the menu system. On 3000 style controllers with the built in keyboard and function keys next to the display, GRID mode is the default setting.
Page 70: Group Names
Group names The groups used to store layouts are normally called GROUP 1 to GROUP 9. These names may be edited to reflect the type of layouts stored in them. Select F5) Group names from the Configuration menu. Hot Keys The controller also has a hot key configuration screen.
Page 71: Data Matrix Option
A hard reset can also be performed by switching the controller on while pressing the F9 key. Then enter the password “HARD RESET” and press enter. If a machine has sensors or switches connected to the red or green button inputs instead of a start/stop box, the reset functionality can be disabled to stop settings being lost.

Page 74: Line Commands
Line Commands There are several line command options available on the machine. Line commands are entered on a line and are often enclosed in square brackets such as [L1]. Each type of command is explained below. Link Line Commands The link line command syntax allows many lines in the layout to be combined on to a single line in the layout.
Page 75 would be scanned onto a line configured not to mark. Then on another line the Split line command would take only the characters to be marked. The Split line syntax is described below. [SPx:y-z] Where:- x = the line number to link to (i.e. the section of text required) y = the starting character z = the end character (Note if the end of the line occurs before this end character value only the characters available are printed)
Page 76: Data Entry Via Prompt Mode
Line 1 is the serial number which is not marked as the MarkLine parameter is set to No. The following 3 lines each mark 4 characters of the serial number at different Z heights to compensate for the curve of the part. The X and Y values of each line position the characters so they appear continuous when marked.
Page 77 for the variables on each cycle. To activate this feature press F10, F10, F3, F6) Various from the main menu and set ‘Multi-Mark’ to ‘On’ It is also possible to enter a starting serial number and have the controller automatically increment the number for every mark without prompting on every mark.
Page 79: 12. Marking Heads
12. MARKING HEADS There are several types of head available in the marktronic range. The software will be configured for each type so no configuration should be necessary. For reference, the parameters that may be configured for a marking head are: Machine X Limit Y Limit...
Page 81: 13. Marking Assemblies
13. MARKING ASSEMBLIES There are several types of marking assemblies available. It may be necessary to configure the hardware before the controller can be used. Check the compatibility tables at the beginning of the manual for compatibility with a specific machine type. MarkMate The MarkMate machine features an electric solenoid allowing 9 different forces.
Page 82: Using The Twin Solenoid
See section 4-1, ‘Configuring the controller’ for details of how to configure the twin solenoid option. Using the twin solenoid If the parameters have been changed, the machine is now ready for use. Make a layout, but change the forces as a double number. The first number relating to the left hand solenoid, the second number works with the right hand solenoid.
Page 83: 14. Electric Z Axis
14. ELECTRIC Z AXIS The 3000 BenchDot™ ZA machines are fitted with an electric Z motor. It is possible to upgrade a non ZA machine using the kit below. The Z axis must be configured before it can be used. The following parameters are applicable: Parameter Description...
Page 84: Manually Jogging The Zaxis
Manually Jogging the Z axis If marking similar layouts on a variety of components of differing heights it may be useful not to program Z moves in to the layout and simply jog the Z axis manually to the correct marking height using the Z up and down buttons on the Remote Start/Stop box.
Page 85: 15. Circumferential Fixture
15. CIRCUMFERENTIAL FIXTURE Introduction The circumferential fixture is used for marking around the diameter of the work pieces which cannot be marked in the conventional way on the standard XYZ arrangement. Setting up the Circumferential Fixture The fixture is supplied with 2 bolts or tee nuts with which to mount it to the Marktronic base.
Page 86: Character Size
A long nozzle and long stylus (100 mm) (4”) is recommended for use with this fixture. NOTE When the trial run or marking button is pressed the stylus movement comes forward then along the Y Axis, at the end of marking the reverse movement occurs. If for any reason the stop button is pressed then the stylus stays in that position, to return to home press F10, F4.
Page 87: Normal
Other parameters defining the operation of the Circumferential fixture motor in circumferential marking mode are available in the EDIT CONFIGURATION screen. They are: Parameter Description C axis proximity switch (None, NPN or PNP). Normally set to C prox None. Number of C axis motor steps required to turn the fixture C steps/rev through 1 revolution.
Page 89: 16. Auto Sense
16. AUTO SENSE The sensor will only work if an electric z-axis is also fitted to the Marktronic BenchDot™ machine. Autosense is only available on electric solenoid dot marking machines. This enables the machine to sense the height of the work piece and mark, ideal for marking different work piece heights with the same depth of force every time.

Operating Modes In addition to the fixture configuration the operating mode can be configured to one of three modes.
Page 95: Feed Utilities
The automatic cycle is started using the F1 Automatic Cycle command in the label feed menu. At any time the automatic cycle can be stopped without destroying the contents of the unmarked queue by pressing the ESC key, returning back to the automatic cycle will result in the remaining labels in the queue being marked and allow further batches to be received.
Page 97: 19. Advanced Features
19. ADVANCED FEATURES The ADVANCED FEATURES MENU is accessed from the CONFIGURATION MENU. Font Editor The Font Editor allows the operator to change the appearance of marked characters. To access the Font Editor, select FEATURES on the CONFIGURATION MENU, then select FONT EDITOR. Select the font to edit (Either 5x7 or 7x9). The system will show the current character that is selected and ready to be edited.
Page 98: Output Settings
As seen on the example preview screen for the above example download, the outlined character font is used for ABC, overriding the built in single line font. The remaining characters are marked with the built in single line font. Output Settings The system can output its settings to serial port B.

Page 100: Lookup
Lookup The LOOKUP function allows a layout to have text inserted in a line based on the contents of another line. The following parameters are available: Parameter Description The line number to check for the lookup string Line The first character of the line contents to start looking from. 0 Start means compare the whole line.
Page 101: Warning Events
Warning Events The Warning Events can be configured to warn when a number of events have happened, e.g. a number of marks, or a number of dots marked. These events can be used to keep track of preventative maintenance periods. They can be set to warn the operator, and allow marking to continue, or they can cause an error, and stop the operator from marking any more parts.
Page 102 When the controller has done a mark, it will increment its counters, and check the warning and error counts against these counts. Warnings If the count goes over the warning level, a message box is displayed: The operator can press the R key to reset the counter, or any other key to continue marking.
Page 103 Communication port functionality If a communication port is set to “select layout”, wear warning features may be used over that port. The host machine must send commands inside STX-BEL pairs. [STX]Sn[BEL] will transmit the status of warning event ‘n’ over the port. STX is ASCII character 2, and BEL is ASCII character 7.
Page 104: Duplicate Lists
Duplicate Lists The controller software can keep track of data that has been marked, and produce a warning or an error if the same data is to be marked again. This feature can be used to make sure the same serial number is not marked twice, for example from the operator picking up the same job sheet twice by accident.
Page 105 If “DUP check” is set to “abort”, the system will not allow the data to be marked: The system can store up to 5 separate duplicate lists. This is so you can have the same serial number on more than one different part (e.g. an engine and a gearbox) without having to dismiss warnings every time you mark.
Page 106 Pressing the X key will pop up a confirmation box to clear the list: Marktronic User Guide 19-10...
Page 107: 20. Maintenance
20. MAINTENANCE Maintaining the Electric Punch If problems arise with an inconsistent mark check that the nosepiece(18) for the stylus is firmly screwed in to the solenoid assembly (2). Check for contamination of the nosepiece(18) and stylus(*) at regular intervals as this will degrade the quality of the mark.
Page 108: Method Of Operation
Method of operation The Marktronic slowly increases power to the solenoid to extend the stylus, if it cannot extend the stylus it then retracts the Z-AXIS and tries again. It then reduces the power to the solenoid until the stylus is just held in the extended position. The Z-AXIS then winds down.
Page 109: 21. Fault Finding
