16.5 Industrial Inter-
face Board
Intermec EasyCoder 501 XP – Service Manual Ed. 4
Description
The Industrial Interface Board is an optional device for EasyCoder
F2, F4, 501 XP, and 601 XP, that provides these printers with two
extra interfaces.
Industrial Interface
This interface contains eight digital IN and eight digital OUT ports
with optocouplers, plus four OUT ports with relays.
The status of all ports can be read by means of PORTIN functions
and the OUT ports can be set be means of PORTOUT ON/OFF
statements (see Intermec Fingerprint v7.xx, Reference Manual.)
Thus, it is possible to design Intermec Fingerprint programs which
control not only the printer but also various external devices in
for example a production line. The digital IN ports can read the
status of various sensors and the program can for example switch
control lamps on or off, open or close gates, and start or stop con-
veyor belts accordingly by means of the relays and the digital OUT
ports.
Serial Interface
This interface contains one serial communication channel ("uart2:")
for one of the following alternatives:
• RS-232
• RS-422 non isolated
• RS-422 isolated
• RS-485 terminated or not terminated.
Selection of type of serial interface is done by fi tting various types
of socket-mounted driver circuits and straps.
The Industrial Interface Board Kit contains:
• One Industrial Interface Board fi tted for either RS-232, RS-422
non isolated, RS-422 isolated, or RS-485.
• One fl at cable
• One Installation Instruction booklet
