Description
The Industrial Interface Board is an optional device that provides
these EasyCoder 501 XP and 601 XP printers with one extra
interface. This board allows an EasyLAN 100 interface board
(see Chapter 16.7) to be installed outside the Industrial Interface
Board.
There is also an Serial/Industrial Interface Board that has both a
serial port and an industrial interface port, see Chapter 16.5.
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 using PORTIN functions and
the OUT ports can be set be means of PORTOUT ON/OFF state-
ments (see Intermec Fingerprint v7.61, Programmer's Reference
Manual). Thus, it is possible to design Intermec Fingerprint pro-
grams 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
conveyor belts accordingly using of the relays and the digital OUT
ports.
