    ProTerm application programs and connected equipment. This information should be available in the manuals that accompany those products. Wherever used herein, the term “ProTerm” applies to all models (except as noted). NOTICE The information contained in this manual applies only to ProTerms manufactured after April 1, 2001 (serial number HH182503 and above).

  • Page 12: About Two Technologies

    Technologies offers over a dozen cost-effective solutions serving virtually every market. About the ProTerm The ProTerm is a hand held terminal that features text and graphics capabilities. It also provides users with selectable communications parameters, programmable function keys, and other features that make it ideal for motion control applications requiring flexibility and solid, reliable operation.

  • Page 13: Interface Options

    Communication (up to 57,600 bps) with a host device is through a modular 6-pin connector. Durability Like all Two Technologies' products, the ProTerm is remarkably rugged. The case consists of Cycolac ABS, one of the most durable, chemical-resistant materials available on the market today.

    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 ProTerm to a telephone line will damage it and void the warranty.

  • Page 17: Figure 2-3: Db-25 Interface Connector

    Standard modular cables (1210-7 and 1210-15) that mate with the ProTerm’s modular interface connector and Two Technologies’ PCAT wired adapter are available as optional accessories. These cables will reverse the signal output from the ProTerm (see illustration below). Non-reversing modular cables (1210-7-NR and 1210-15-NR) are also available.

  • Page 20: The Boot Sequence

    The Boot Sequence Once you have connected the ProTerm to a host device and supplied power, the ProTerm will boot-up and perform a self-test as shown below. The first screen in the boot sequence briefly displays the standard U.S. ASCII character set, followed by a contrast test (Viewing Angle).

  • Page 21: Keypad Operation

    PROTERM TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL Keypad Operation The standard 30 position and 45 position keypads consist of uppercase letters, digits 0 through 9, punctuation marks, symbols, function keys and keys for Escape (ESC), Space (SPACE), Backspace (BACKSP/BKSP), Control (CTRL), Shift (SHIFT) and Enter (ENTER).

  • Page 22: Display Operation

    Contrast Adjustment You can adjust the contrast on the ProTerm by pressing CTRL and F5. There are sixteen adjustments levels. Each key press combination will make the display darker until it reaches the darkest setting, in which case the next key press combination will result in the lightest setting.

  • Page 23: E-Stop Operation

    Standard E-Stop Switch Operating Modes The ProTerm has several operating modes. The default mode is Terminal mode. It allows the ProTerm to display characters, respond to commands sent by a connecting device, and send characters to the connecting device as keys are pressed. Other modes, described later in this...

  • Page 24: Host Control

    The ProTerm has two sets of built-in Escape command modes, ANSI and Private. The set in use is determined by the setting of the Escape Mode parameter.

    3-2) appears at the end of the section. Baud Rate This parameter sets the number of bits per second transmitted that the ProTerm transmits for serial communication. The data rate can be set to: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 or 57600 baud.

  • Page 26: Parity

    This parameter sets the number of stop bits between each character transmission, either 1or 2 (the default value is 1) with the following exceptions: A. When using 7-data bits and no parity, the ProTerm will automatically select 2-stop bits. B. When using 8-data bits and any parity the ProTerm will automatically select 1-stop bit.

  • Page 27: Display Pe

    Note: Should you enable the KNP function (disabled by default), the Repeat parameter will not be accessible. Key Click This parameter enables/disables the ProTerm’s ability to emit an audible click each time a key is pressed, and for each repeated character. The default value is DISABLE. Document 15775(1.0.0.0)

  • Page 28: Knp Function

    The Key Not Press (KNP) parameter enables/disables the ProTerm’s ability to detect the release of a key press. When set to ENABLE, the ProTerm will transmit the keypad character or function key data after a key press and a null (00h) character after a key release. The default value is DISABLE.

  • Page 29: Echo

    ProTerm moves the cursor to the same column on the next line. In NEWLINE mode, pressing ENTER on the ProTerm sends both a carriage return and a linefeed to the host. A linefeed received by the ProTerm moves the cursor to the first column on the next line.

    For 20-key ProTerms, simultaneously hold BKSP, ENTER and F3, and reapply power. In either case, the ProTerm will save the change and then perform a self-test To re-enable access to the Parameter menu and related Escape commands after restricting access, simply repeat the above procedure.

  • Page 37: Chapter 4. Key Programming

    KEY PROGRAMMING Introduction You can reprogram all the keys on the ProTerm’s keypad. However, you are limited to a total of 222 bytes of memory (one character per byte plus an additional two bytes for each key programmed). For example, to program a key to display, “HELLO” would take seven bytes of memory.
  • Page 38 Press a key (for example, F1) to define its key output definition. The screen will then show the row and column location for that key (Row 1, Column1). Press F1 to display the Examine/Edit Data menu. Displayable characters appear within single quotes (for example, ‘A’). Non-printable characters appear in hexadecimal notation, prefixed with an uppercase H (for example, F1 = HCA).

  • Page 40: Extended Key Functionality

    When defining key output, enter BC as the two HEX digits to specify a break of 3.5 seconds Output Control Commands Normally, the ProTerm transmits data from a programmable key string serially. If you enable the Echo parameter, data also outputs to the display.

  • Page 41: Pause Commands

    Pause until Handshake Line Input is +V When defining key output, enter B7 as the two HEX digits to suspend programmable key output until the ProTerm’s handshake line (at the interface connector) is between +3 and +30 volts. If the handshake line is already in the +V range, there should be no delays in output. Should the terminal wait for a response for more than 0.50 seconds, it will display the Wait character.

  • Page 42: Branching Commands

    For example to have the terminal send the string “START, ” wait for a specific character (in this case, the letter “G” in the string “STARTING”) and then respond to the host by sending the string “RUNNING” to the host, your key output definition would look like: ‘S’...

  • Page 60: Graphic Files

    Graphic Files Before you can download graphic files from the host, you must convert the source file to a format (*.ttb) that the ProTerm can process using the PROCNV.EXE file conversion command line utility (available from Two Technologies). The source bitmap files must be monochrome (black and white) and 192-pixels wide x 128- pixels high.

  • Page 64: Advanced Control Mode

    Advanced Control Mode Advanced Control Mode (ACM) enables you to restrict the input and output of the terminal’s keypad by assigning specific hex values to each key press and each subsequent key release, making it ideal to control devices or applications in environments where safety is a primary concern.

  • Page 65: Figure 5-3: Ghost Key

    PROTERM TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL nKey Rollover— while in ACM, you can press any combination of keys in any order, • and the terminal will send the resultant key codes in tandem (i.e., pressing CTRL, SHIFT and F1 will send 11h, 7Ch, and 5Ch) and then the corresponding key codes in tandem, when you release the keys (91h, FCh, and DCh).

  • Page 66: Acm Control Commands

    ACM Control Commands Only the host can enable/disable ACM. Because the host can send a request for ACM at any time, even while the operator is pressing or releasing keys, you should ensure that the host receives all keys press codes, their corresponding release codes and the proper ENQ response prior to any mode change.

  • Page 67: Figure 5-4: Using Acm In A Robotic Environment

    Example: Using ACM in a Robotic Environment The following example shows the use of ACM in an industrial environment where safety during operation is a primary concern. In this scenario, the ProTerm controls a robotic free-swinging arm (Figure 5-4), where: The host transmits an ENQ (05h) every 25 ms to the terminal to determine its state (Normal mode or ACM).
