    Th e Industrial Interface has no straps or circuits to be fi tted or removed. All signals are available on a DB- 44pin socket and the various ports are controlled by the Intermec Fingerprint instructions PORTIN and PORTOUT ON/OFF (see Intermec Fingerprint v8.xx, Programmer's Reference Manual).
  • Page 32: Digital Opto In

    Chapter 4 — Industrial Interface Digital Opto In Th e status of the digital IN ports can be read using PORTIN functions. If a current is led through the optocoupler of the port, PORTIN returns the value -1 (true), else it returns the value 0 (false). Signal Description Min.
  • Page 33: Digital Opto Out

    Chapter 4 — Industrial Interface Digital Opto Out Th e current to each optocoupler of the digital OUT ports can be turned on and off using PORTOUT ON/OFF statements. Th e status of the ports can be read using PORTIN functions. If a current is led through the optocoupler of the port, PORTIN returns the value -1 (true), else it returns the value 0 (false).
  • Page 34: Relay Out

    Chapter 4 — Industrial Interface Relay Out Th e relays of the OUT ports can be individually activated using PORT- OUT ON/OFF statements. Th e status of the ports can be read by means of PORTIN functions. If a relay is activated, PORTIN returns the value -1 (true), else it returns the value 0 (false).
