    10 seconds before opening the monitor. 6.1 Construction All the controller electronics for the Collamat 8600 labeler are built in to a stable steel cabinet. This cabinet contains no adjustable controls inside. All settings can be done by keyboard. After removing the two screws from the backpanel the cover can be separated from the heatsink.

  • Page 17: The Control Panel

    All settings and adjust- ments of the Collamat 8600 are programmed and handled in this unit. The settings and adjust- ments are stored in the control panel even if the power is turned off.

  • Page 18: Construction

    ESD while working with the control panel. If a control panel is defective, it must be exchanged. Any repairs not made by HM Collamat AG will expire the guarantee. The control panel builds together with the frontpanel one unit. This unit is connected with one 50 pole flatcable to the interfaceboard.

  • Page 21: The Mains Filter Board

    6.6 The mains filter board The mains filter board is used to give a clean filtered mains voltage to the transformer. The board is mounted onto the backpanel and contains components on both sides. The mains filter board carries a high efficiency mains filter, the voltage selector, the mains con- nectors, the mains sockets for the transformer and the mains fuses.

  • Page 22: The Interfaceboard

    Attention: After exchanging the mains filter board, the voltage selector must be set to the correct mains voltage to which the Collamat will be connected. 6.7 The Interfaceboard The interfaceboard is used to connect the labeler and its peripheral units to the monitor. It filters and shapes all the signals of the labeler or of the installation to the logic level of the micro control- ler.

  • Page 23: Fuses

    The supply voltage for the logic and the sensors is connected to terminal X12. Fuse F2 protects this voltage against overload. LED LD2 indicates 24V. The voltage 12V and 5V are generated by the 24V using switching regulators. LED LD3 indicates 12V, LED LD4 indicates 5V. The 5V and 12V supply's are protected against short connection and overload.

    The colors of the wires are writen on the board. This colors are only valid for peripheral units from HM Collamat AG. The connection cables of the sensors are fed to the inside of the traction unit with special clamps.

  • Page 27: Control Signals For External Units

    With this signal an external flat printing unit can be controlled. See therefore figure 20. 6.10.2 READY The signal READY is used to signal the Collamat that a connected peripheral device like hotstamp or flatprinter is ready. If the signal is active, this means the NPN-output of the device is pulled to GND, labelling is not possible.

  • Page 28: Signals And Connector Pin Assignments

    7 Signals and connector pin assignments This chapter describes the signals of the Collamat 8600. All in- and outputs are described func- tionally and electrically. Also the pin assignments are described. All in- and outputs are equipped with filterelements to prevent electromagnetic interference.

  • Page 29: Comparator Inputs

    The inputs are protected against wrong polarity and they are active while being pulled to GND (0V, ground). (The peripheral units of HM Collamat AG have NPN-outputs to 0V). Figure 22 shows the input diagram of the comparator inputs:...

  • Page 30: Goods Scanner Gsc3

    7.2.4 Control input STOP The STOP input is used to stop or start the Collamat. It has the same function like the RUN/STOP key on the control panel. If the signal is activated while the Collamat is stopped, the Collamat will be started (RUN) and vice versa.

  • Page 31: Lsc (Label Scanner)

    For the paperend sensor an alternative sensor may be used. 7.2.7 READY The signal READY is used to signal the Collamat that a connected peripheral device like hotstamp or flatprinter is ready.

    8 Nonstop labelling When using two Collamat 8600 it is possible to label goods with no down time. For this purpose the two monitors must be connected together by an electrical link. The necessary links are shown in figure 40. The placement of the two Collamat to each other is shown in figure 41.

  • Page 45: Setting Up Of The Nonstop Mode

    The master starts immediately to label the goods. At this mo- ment both Collamat are labelling for a while. When the first labeled good arrives at the GSC2 of the slave, the slave stops labelling. Now the cause of the stop of the slave can be serviced.
