2 Introduction
2.1 General informations
This technical handbook describes the construction and the function of the Collamat 3600. In
addition to the operating instructions, it contains the necessary tips and adjustments to get optimum use of the Collamat 3600. The descriptions of each electrical or mechanical device also
helps for quick error analysis and error elimination.
We recommend you to replace the complete electronic boards. Return it to Collamat Stralfors
AG or to its representative for repair. You can then feel sure, that the high quality standard of
the Collamat 3600 can also be guaranteed after repair.
2.2 The labeler C3600
Special characteristics of the Collamat 3600:
resistant to wear, no clutch/brake-system
robust, stable
easy installation and operation due to the modular construction
quick change-over to other labelling tasks
high performance
high reliability
latest SMD-technology
high precision 2-phase steppermotor
The traction unit as well as the other peripheral assemblies are mounted on a modular rail. The
control electronics of the peripheral units are built in the units. The units are controlled and
driven by signals of the bussystem inside of the modular rail.
The operating elements for dispensing speed, predispensing, optical label scanner, as well as
the mains switch are placed right on the body of the traction unit itself. All parts are corrosionproof, the feedroller of the traction unit is provided with a special coating for permanent nonslip
torque transmission onto the paperweb. The rewinding force of the rewinder as well as the
braking power of the paper brake are adjustable at the traction unit from the outside.
The installation of the Collamat 3600 must be done by trained personnel. For this you have to
consider the national specific regulations of:
prevention of accidents
noise suppression

Switch on the Collamat 3600. Set the label scanner potentiometer to zero. Pull the labelweb so
that the gap is located below the marking 1 of the scanner. Turn the potentiometer until the red
LED on the scanner goes off. Continue pulling the labelweb until a label is located below the
scanner. Continue turning the potentiometer until the LED switches off again. The optimum
setting is at the center position of the two potentiometer settings witch turned the LED off.
Remark:
If the setting of the optical label scanner is faulty, the gap between the labels
will not be detected. After the triggering of a labelling operation, the labeler
will stop after approx. 0.75 m of the labelweb.
For transparent labels, please use the mechanical label scanner.

4 Technical description
4.1 Dispenser board
All the electronic devices including power transformer, except of the main switch with indicator
lamp, are located on a printed board. The dimensions of the board are approximately 215 x
234 mm. Figure 11 shows the board with all the connectors and terminals.
The description is divided into power supply, motordriver, controller and firmware.
4.1.1 Power supply
The power supply unit generates the two regulated voltages +12 V/1A and + 5 V/1 A for the
logic, as well as an unregulated DC voltage of approx. 40 V/3.5 A for the steppermotor. The
stabilization is done by linear voltage regulators.
4.1.2 Motordriver
The driver board consists of 2 H-bridge circuits to drive the two motor phases. The phase current is 4 A while running, and 2 A when stopped. To control the current, a chopper circuit with
20 kHz chopper-frequency is used.
Dependent on the dispensing speed the processor generates a fullstep- or a halfsteppattern.
For speeds faster than 10 m/min, the motor is driven by a fullstep- pattern.
In the case of overheating, short-circuit or malfunction the motordriver is switched off and the
red LED FAULT is illuminated. In this case the labeler must be switched off and on again.
4.1.3 Controller
The single chip micro-controller H8/532 with external 32 K-Byte EPROM controls the functions
of the labelling process.
All outputs are buffered by photo-couplers.
All the inputs are pulled up to +12V with 2.2 K and are equipped with a low-pass filter.
The A/D-converter scans periodically the value of the settings of the 3 potentiometers
(R101....R103).
The control current of the label scanner is generated by a controlled current source.

5 Firmware
5.1 Normalmode
After turning on the labeler, the DIL-switches are scanned to figure out the working mode.
The dispensing of a label is triggered by the negative edge of GSC1 (Goods scanner input).
READY must not be active (12 Volt). The stop of the labelling is triggered by the detection of
the gap (LSC) and performing the remaining steps for the predispensing.
The timing diagram of the signals is shown in figure 23:

Figure 23: Timing diagram of the GSC1, LSC and FEED signals
1. Speed dependent position delay
2. Length of the predispensing
If the predispensing is increased, it is executed immediately. If it is reduced, it is executed after
dispensing the next label.
To generate the holding torque, the motor is powered all the time.
If, for any reason, no negative edge is detected on the LSC-input, the labelweb is automatically
stopped after approximately 2 meters.
At speeds faster than 10 m/min, the steppermotor is driven in the fullstep-mode. For slower
speeds, in the halfstep-mode.
The minimum speed is 3 m/min. The maximum speed is 20 m/min.

8 Control signals for external units
The signals FEED and READY are used to control external units.
FEED (Output)
The FEED signal indicates that the labeler is dispensing. This means that the steppermotor is
turning. With this signal an external flatprinting unit can be controlled. See herefore figure 23.
READY (Input)
The signal READY is used to signal that a connected peripheral device like hotstamp or flatprinter is ready. If the signal is active, this means the NPN-output of the device is pulled to
GND, labelling is not possible.

9 Electrical installation
9.1 Introduction
The cabling must be done like shown in figure 32. The controlsignals FEED and READY, the
supply +12 Volt and ground, are fed through the 14 pole flatcable to the flatprinter and the
magnet adapter. An additional 3 pole power cable (3 x 0.75 mm2) feeds the switched mains
voltage from the Collamat 3600 to both peripheral units.
The transmitter (2 pole cable) and receiver (3 pole cable) of the optical label scanner can directly be connected to the dispenser C3600, to the flap adapter or to the flatprinter respectively. In this case, the connection to the Collamat 3600 is made by the 14 pole flatcable.

10 Testmode
The firmware of the Collamat 3600 has a standard test and diagnostic routine. If the DIL-switch
TEST is switched on while turning the power on, the firmware starts the test and diagnostics
routine. See also figure 24.
In the testmode, the motor is started and stopped periodically with the speed, set on the
SPEED potentiometer. If there are any labels threaded through the Collamat 3600, the labels
will be dispensed periodically.
In the testmode, the Collamat 3600 can be controlled by an ASCII-terminal or a PC with a terminal emulation software. The communication with the Collamat will be done through the connector X104 using the RS232 protocol. The test software is menu driven and self explaining.
The user language is English.
To communicate with a PC, a serial communication cable is used. The figure 33 shows the
electrical connections of the serial cable:

10.1 Test software
When the Collamat 3600 is connected to the terminal, it must be switched on. At this moment
the DIL-switch TEST must be set to on. The traction unit begins to turn with the speed set on
the SPEED potentiometer. The terminal shows the following message:
COLLAMAT 3600 V1.01
Motor intervall test. Use spacebar to leave
Pressing the spacebar stops the motor intervall test. Now the following help menue will be
displayed:

10.1.3 BUS-signal selftest
The BUS-signal selftest tests all in- and outputs of the Collamat signalbus. For this test a
diagnostic connector (see figure 35) must be plugged into the busconnector X102 (left side).
Attention:
To avoid damage of peripheral units or sensors, all sensors and bus- cables
must be removed from the connectors.

12 Cabling and setting up
For a trouble free operation of the Collamat 3600 following items must be observed:
Trained personnel
Ambient temperature
Absence of dirt and dust
Absence of splashing water
Installation and setting up of the installation
Installation and setting up of the Collamat 3600
Electromagnetic interferences
Safety regulations and safety requirements
12.1 Cabling
Electromagnetic interferences can lead to non repeatable and not obvious errors while labelling. Most times misplaced layout of the cabling, RMI and ESD interferences disturb the labelling. Because of this, the following rules must be observed for the cabling:
Separated mains and signal cables
Use shielded cables
All units must be grounded
Connect only devices which meet the RMI standards
Use power filters in interfered environments and interfered mains supplies
12.2 Setting up
The setting up must be done carefully by trained personnel. The following items must be
observed:
Visual check of the labeler unit
Are all electrical and mechanical units correctly attached ?
Are all connectors accessible ?
Connect the labeler to the mains and switch it on
Is the power switch illuminated ?
Turn off the labeler and unplug it
Set up the DIL-switches according to the desired mode. Motor turning direction.
Attach the goods scanner signals to the labeler
Connect the remaining units to the labeler
Connect the labeler to the mains and switch it on
Do the peripheral units work OK ?
Thread the paperweb and adjust the label scanner
Dispense a label. Is it dispensed correctly ?
