Product Configuration Guide The PSMT is a rugged, full featured programmable panel mount terminal that is ideally suited to a variety of applications where a level of complexity above that found in simple ASCII terminals is required. The PSMT is available in a number of different configurations. You can determine the configuration of a particular unit by identifying the suffixes applied to the model number as follows: PSMT Real Time Clock...

Determining the Maximum Input Voltage Allowed The maximum input voltage allowed is based on a unit’s current draw. To determine the maximum input voltage allowed based on current: Calculate the maximum current draw using the table on the previous page. On the following chart, locate the Calculated Total Current on the Calculated Operating Current axis of the chart, and then move to the top of Operating Voltage range.

About this Manual Intended for authorized developers with prior knowledge of PC application development, this manual describes the advanced features, operations and interface capabilities of Two Technologies’ PSMT Series terminals. It is not for use by end-users. Unless otherwise stated, the operational characteristics described herein correspond to factory default configurations and settings as shipped from Two Technologies with a standard keypad.
(up to 19,200 bps) with a host device is through a modular 6-pin connector. Durability Like all Two Technologies' products, the PSMT is remarkably rugged. The case consists of Valox 420 one of the most durable, chemical-resistant materials available on the market today.
Chapter 2: Operation Controls and Indicators Table 2-1 describes the components and indicators found on the front of the PSMT terminal as shown in Figure 2-1. Figure 2-1: PSMT Controls and Indicators Table 2-1: PSMT Controls and Indicators Item Control/Feature Description Display 192 x 128 pixel supertwist nematic LCD (standard)
Modular Interface Connector Figure 2-2 depicts the standard six-pin modular interface connector found on the PSMT terminal. Table describes its signal and pin assignments. Warning: Use the six-pin modular receptacle for compatible serial devices only. Despite its physical similarity to modular telephone connectors, it is not compatible with telephone lines or signals. Connecting the terminal to a telephone line will damage it and void the warranty.
Pin 7 (Jumper) Pin 8 (Jumper) Pin 9 RI Note: Pin descriptions assume connection through a Two Technologies’ 1210 series modular cable to the terminal’s modular connector. Connecting the Terminal To connect the terminal to a host device using Two Technologies parts:...
Modular Cable PCAT Adapter Using a Two Technologies’ power supply (such as a Two Technologies 1226-1 linear power supply for units with a -2 power supply configuration), plug the power supply connector into the PCAT adapter and then plug the power supply into a 120 VAC 60 Hz power outlet.
Keypad Operation The standard 20-position keypad consist of the digits 0 through 9, functions keys and keys for Yes (YES), No (NO), Backspace (BKSP), Space (SPACE) and Enter (ENTER). Figure 3-2: Standard 20-Position Keypad Display Operation Standard PSMT terminals display the U.S. ASCII 96 character set. However, other character sets, such as such as Latin 1 or European, are also available as an option.
The Default Program In absence of a downloaded application, the terminal’s default program will automatically start when you power on the terminal. This default program simply sends and receives keystrokes. Default Settings This section describes the default program’s initial communication, keypad and display characteristics (default settings).
Echo By default, the terminal will not display (echo) keypad entries on the screen. The default value is DISABLED. Handshaking By default, the terminal makes use of hardware handshaking (DTR-DSR or RTS-CTS) for terminals equipped with an RS-232 interface. XON/XOFF By default, the terminal does not control data flow with XON/XOFF protocol.
Loading Default Communications Settings To load the default communications settings: Remove power from the terminal. For 45 or 30-key terminals, simultaneously hold CTRL, SHIFT and F1, and reapply power. For 20-key terminals, simultaneously hold BKSP, ENTER and F1, and reapply power. After the terminal sounds an alert and displays the "LOAD DEFAULTS?"...
Chapter 4: Host Commands Introduction By design, the PSMT allows a connecting device (or “host”) to control some of its functions by transmitting a string of special characters. Referred to as “Escape commands” (because each character string begins with the ASCII escape character), these character strings enable the host to perform a variety of task including controlling the terminal’s cursor position, erasing the display lines and sounding beeps.
