1. General Features

The Thermal Graphics Printer IPP 144-40 G (Industrial Process Printer) is a device designed for outputting text, data and graphics, i.e. measured value, machine and process states, error messages, production data, etc.

T wo application examples:

If connected to a digital voltmeter , the IPP 144-40 G records the measuring values (with date/time for the E version).

Its integrated interface allow the use of the IPP 144-40 G as a peripheral for all PLCs (RS 232 C; RS 422; RS 485; USB;

Profibus DP).

The Thermal Graphics Printer is a DIN size panel mounting unit which is able to print line widths of up to 48 characters per line. The 14m paper roll (commercial grade document proof thermal paper) is located inside the housing and can be easily replaced by means of a swivel type front panel. Án end of paper indicator lights up if the printer runs out of paper .

Each printer is addressable, which allows the connection of up to 31 devices to one sender device via a data line at the RS 485 interface, e.g. to a PLC.

There are two version of the printer: The Basic V ersion IPP 144-40 G with the interface I and the Enhanced V ersion IPP 144-40 GE with the interfaces I and II. There are three option for the voltage supply: 12V DC (10V ...19V DC) or 24V DC (19V ...36V DC) or 1 10V/230V AC (switch-mode power supply: 85V ...265V AC) There are four option for the interface IIl : RS 232 C, RS 485, ProfiBus or USB

Interface I

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes

The connector for the interface II of RS 232 C, RS 485 and ProfiBus is a 9 pin D-Sub-socket. It is possible to change this interface card in the factory . The interface option USB has a special USB-B-socket. It is not possible to change this interface card with the other cards. Special adapter cables and converters are used in this situation.

WindowsProgramming software

A Windows-Programming software has been developed.This software will be available to progam the GE text memory , transfer user defined fonts or symbols and set the printer configuration parameters. Also this software package includes actual Windows printer drivers. The software will be on CD-ROM.

Basic Version IPP 144-40 G

Enhanced Version IPP 144-40 GE

The basic version IPP 144-40 G provides one serial interface capable of receiving only. Return (handshake) messages to the sender are sent via hardware line. Texts and measuring value to be printed must be transmitted from the sender device since the basic version does not have an internal text memory . It is possible to print with the basic version bitmap image and barcodes. The bitmap image files and the barcode files are generated with printer control commands in a terminal emulation program.These files are transmitted by interface I to the printer. It is possible to download this file onto the font ROM chip in the printer. For the printer control commands and download commands see section 8.3. in this manual.

Note: The cyrillic character set is on the font ROM chip. If user defined fonts or symbols are downloaded onto the font ROM chip, the cyrillic character set will be overwritten, and the cyrillic character set will no longer be available.

The enhanced version IPP 144 - 40 GE provides a second, bi-directinal serial interface capable of outputting return messages under program control in compliance with a protocol. In addition, this model includes a text memory capable of storing up to 15 texts which are called by specifying the corresponding text number. Moreover, date and time may be printed with texts and data. The printer interfaces of the IPP 144-40 GE can be set in the menu program as serial transfer or standard Windows printer drivers. So it is possible to print data (e.g.user defined fonts and symbols) directly with Windows.

It is not possible for the user to upgrade the basic version to the enhanced version; as this is a different factory version.

Even; Odd; Mark; Sp ace; No parity . There is no check made.

PRINTER ADDRESS

Date entry

Each printer IPP 144 - 40 G / IPP 144 - 40 GE can be addressed. This allows the concurrent supply of different data to several printers via one data line.

Up to 31printers may be called from one sender (e.g. a PLC). The respective address is set in the menu program.

for more information see chapter 7.2. „Addressing“ !

6.3. Date / Time ( only E-version )

Date and time are factory set. In order to modify these values the menu program must be called and the following message must be displayed:

SET CALENDAR NO ?

„SELECT“

YES ?

„ENTER“

SET CALENDAR 15. 03.04

_5. 03. 04

The printed cursor to the left of the 5 indicates that this position can be modified; in our example this is the decimal digit of the day . The „Select“ key is used to print the possible values successively; in our example this is 0, 1, 2 and 3, To accept the value press „Enter“; the cursor jumps to the next position to the right ... etc.

>>> 24. 03. 04

Eventually , the current date is printed.

Note:

Incorrect entries, e.g. day 33 of a month, will not be accepted by the printer. Instead, it starts over at the base value 00.

Setting the time

The time is set like the date. Af ter the current date has been printed, the following line appears:

SET TIME NO ?

Hour

Minute

Second

SET TIME 12 : 31 : 33

_ 2 : 31 : 00

If the time is modified, the seconds are automatically set to zero.

If the time has been entered and „Enter“ has been pressed, the following is displayed:

>>> 22 : 31 : 00

TO STORE TIME; PLEASE PRESS „ENTER“

SET TIME AGAIN; PLEASE PRESS „SELECT“

If time has been entered correctly , press „Enter“. If the time has been entered incorrectly , repeat the entry by pressing „Select“.

Set Summer Winter Time Mode

Output

Set one hour plus or minus for Summer/ Winter Time Mode following is displayed:

CHANGE TIME W<->S NO ?

If „YES“ is selected, the follow selectíons are displayed:

„W ---> S (+1 h)“

„S ---> W (-1 h)“

After setting time the current time will been printed. Press „ENTER“ to store time or press „SELECT“ to set time again.

It means:

W...Winter T ime S...Summer Time

6.4. Date / Time Output (E - V ersion)

Date and time may be transmitted via the serial interface II

Request:

< Ctrl W > < CR >

Addressed:

The IPP 144 returns date / time in the format: < CR > < LF >

15.03.04 17:03:24 < CR > < LF >

During the transmission, nothing can be received (RTS = LOW).

Serial protocol

Print date/time „always“

The IPP 144 is capable of printing date and time together with measured values or text as a protocol. In this case, date and time precede the printout.

There are two options available: Each transmission is preceded with the date/time (always). Date and time only precede the transmission if control command has been received.

this optional feature is selected in the menu program under:

PRINT DATE / TIME HEADLINE

Each transmission is preceded with the date/time (always).

For several messages in a row (i.e. the IPP 144 is still printing), the date & time is printed once only at the beginning of the transmission.

e.g.:

15.03.04 16:57:30 Oil temperature 367,5 °C Oil pressure o.k. Boiler 1

Print date/ time with a received control command

Pause >

15.03.04 16:58:59 Boiler 2 still active Temperature 258,6 °C

PRINT DATE / TIME CTRL „ ^ „

Date and time only precede the transmission if the character <Ctrl ^> has been received.

7. Functional Description

7.1. Start Printing

To start the printing, the IPP 144-40 G expect s only the character <CR> Carriage return, Enter

Note:

<LF> alone has by itself no effect combined with other control characters (calling text, send clock, start print interval -see following sections).

If these characters are transmitted without a print triggering character, the IPP 144 - 40 G prints them after approx. 3 seconds.

Other widely used print trigger characters such as <FF> Form feed are ignored.

7.2. Addressing

Each IPP 144 - 40 G / IPP 144 - 40 GE printer is addressable.Thus, several printers can be supplied with different data via one data line. Up to 31printers can be connected by one sender device (e.g. a PLC). The respective address is set in the menu program.

Note:

- Standard interface RS 232 only permit s 1 sender / 1receiver; Do not connect more than 4 IPP’s as receivers.

- Only interface RS 485 allows up to 32 receivers !

Address / ASCII character assignment example:

Address Address in corresponding

Protocol (HEX) ASCII - character

0 - without addressing 1311 . . . . . . . . . 30 4 E N 31 4 F O

Protocol & Text

RTS / DTR

The addressing protocol is:

<Ctrl E> address <Ctrl E> characters ...<CR> <Ctrl D>

A text of more than one line is possible.

( <Ctrl E>, <Ctrl D>, see appendix). A transmission is only accepted if the sequence <Ctrl E>

address <Ctrl E> is used ! e.g. print date/time/text:

<Ctrl E> address <Ctrl E> <Ctrl \> <CR> characters... <CR> <Ctrl D>

7.3. Handshake Messages

Serial Interface

These lines indicate the printer status to the sender; DTR (device is on) is rather insignificant and is in general not used.

RTS high (+8 V) indicates: printer is ready to receive. RTS low (-7 V) indicates: printer is not ready to receive.

The reasons for printer not being ready could be:

Out of paper

Print interval running

Buffer is full Change menu

RTS / DTR are only used by the RS 232 C interface and can be used for interface I and II.

Print interval (serial)

During the preset wait delay the interface is not ready to receive. Af ter expiry of the wait delay the RTS signal (or XON) becomes active again and requests the subsequent transmission. The next interval begins upon receiving of <CR> or <CR + LF>. <LF> on its own is not accepted.

XON / XOFF

The report functions „Printer read/not ready“ are handled by this protocol if no handshake lines are connected (RS 232 C, RS 422 or RS 485). This function only applies to the E version, interface II.

XON is transmitted if the IPP 144-40 GE is ready to

receive.

XOFF is transmitted if the IPP 144-40 GE is not ready

to receive (see above).

Note:

If the IPP 144-40 GE is not ready to receive, it transmits this character just once, not continuously . No adjustments have to be made, this protocol always runs parallel to the hardware handshake.

Improved handshaking for pre-stored texts

After receiving the control command <CR> the printer now sets RTS at „BUSY“ or the signal XOFF is transmitted. When the printing of pre-stored text is complete, RTS is reset or the signal XON is transmitted. This handshake can be used to control the data transmission and prevent rapid text calls being lost or overwritten.

Note: Without Handshake the following can occur, if the text

calls are sent in too quickly: Data input: <Ctrl C> 1 <CR> <Ctrl C> 2 <CR> <Ctrl C> 3 <CR>

Actual Print-out:

Machine No. 3 pre-stored Text No. 1 2 just „2“ printed, Text No. 2 missing 3 just „3“ printed, Text No. 3 missing

With Handshake, provided RTS (or XON/XOFF protocol) is used to control the data transmitter: Data input: <Ctrl C> 1 <CR> <Ctrl C> 2 <CR> <Ctrl C> 3 <CR>

Actual Print-out:

Machine No. 3 pre-stored Text No. 1 Automatic mode pre-stored Text No. 2 St atus NORMAL pre-stored Text No. 3

7.4. Version E (IPP 144 - 40 GE)

7.4.1.T ext Entry

T ext can only be entered via interface II. The maximum text length is 40 characters; if the text length

exceeds 40 characters only the first 40 characters are saved.

T ext will be input via Windows programming software. There is a special task for inputting, adding, overwriting and deleting texts. The text number must be two-digit.

Y ou must set the following printer parameters:

Baudrate: 9600 Data format: 8 Parity: NO P A RITY Interface: SERIAL

For details of the Input task see the Windows programming software manual.

Reserving space for measured variables

In order to be able to insert measured value (variables) into text afterwards, the location within the text must be marked using „Ctrl V“, which reserves 6 spaces into which any characters may be entered, since they are overwritten at a later time anyway; they are merely wildcards.

Example:

Entry: TEMPERA TURE <Ctrl V> XXXXX °C <CR> <Ctrl> counts as one digit, so you only have to enter 5 wildcard characters.

The printout would look like this: TEMPERA TURE 263,45 °C.

Creating a text block

A text block is created by combining several texts. A text block can be printed in a single call. T o achieve this, place the beginning and the end of the text

in brackets at entry time. Use the control characters: Ctrl X = opening bracket

Ctrl Y = closing bracket

The texts within a text block

must have continuous numbers !

To delete text within a text block without creating a blank line, the text numbers following the deleted line must be decreased by 1 to move them forward.

This is not done automatically but has to be entered manually.

7.4.2. T ext Output

Calling via serial interface

In order to print text, the printer must receive a transmission with the following format:

< Ctrl C > text number < CR >

The printer looks up the stored text related with that number and prints it.

If there is no such text, nothing is printed.

Important notes:

<LF> on its own does not start the printing !

. .

Between several text calls in a row there has to be a gap of least 2 seconds to make sure no text is skipped during printing !

Several text calls using <Ctrl C> and „normal“ transmissions must not be combined !

Combination of text and Date / time (protocol) see chapter 6.4. !

The call for a printer with an address:

Precede the call with the address (see chapter 7.2.). Example for text entry see chapter 8.5.

<< Details >>

This command is ignored if either a vertical or horizontal magnification is outside the definable range. In the standard mode, the vertical direction refers to the direction of paper feed, and the horizontal direction the direction right to the direction of paper feed. If characters are 90-degree right or left are specified, the relationship of the vertical and horizontal directions is reversed. If characters with different vertical magnifications are contained in the same line, they are aligned to the baseline.

Specifies / clears download character set

Command: ESC %n

<< Code >> 0x1B , 0x25 , n (0≤n≤255 , initial value n=0)

<< Function >> Specifies or clears a download character set. Only the lowest bit of n is effective. Download character setting is specified if n=1 and cleared if n=0.

<< Details >>

Automatically specifies the internal character set if the downloading of a character set is cleared.

8.3.3. Print Position Commands

Specifies absolute position

Sets horizontal tab position

Command: ESC $ nL nH

<< Code >> 0x1B , 0x24, nL , nH (0≤nL≤255 , 0≤nH≤255)

<< Function >> Specifies the next print st art position as an absolute position based on the left margin position. The next print start position is (nL + nH x 256) dots away from the left margin position.

<< Details >>

A print start position specified outside the print area is ignored.

Command: ESC D n1 nk NULL

<< Code >> 0x1B , 0x44 , n1n

(k bites) , 00H (1≤k≤32 , 1≤n≤255)

Selects a tab position every 8 characters (at 9th point , 17th point, 25th point ...), if the setting for character right space = 0.

<< Function >> Sets horizontal tab positions. n refers to the number of points to the tab position from the left margin or the start of the line. k indicates the number of data of horizontal tab positions to be set.

<< Details >>

A tab position to be set is (n x character width) from the left margin or the start of the line. Character width includes the right space of character (ESC SP), and increases in proportion to the horizontal magnification of the character if the magnification is larger than two.

Prints column bitmap image

After this command is executed, the previously set horizontal tab positions are cleared. If n=8 is set for horizontal tab position, the next print start position is moved to the 9th point by (HT: „Horizontal tab“). The maximum allowable number of horizontal tab positions is 32 (k=32). If this is exceeded, subsequent data is treated as normal data.

Enter n1 nk for specifying tab positions in ascending order. The data is ended with an 00H input. If n is equal to or smaller than the previous value, the horizontal tab setting process stops and subsequent data is processed as normal data. Use (ESC D NULL) to clear all horizontal tab positions. Even if character width is changed after setting horizontal tab positions, the set horizontal tab positions are retained.

8.3.4. Bitmap image Commands

Command: ESC *m nL nH d1 dk

<< Code >>

<< Details >> In the case of GS k m:

This command is terminated by the NULL code. In the case of UPC-A and UPC-E, after 12 bytes of barcode data are entered, the barcode is printed, and subsequent data is processed as normal data. In the case of JAN-13, after 13 bytes of barcode data are entered, the barcode is printed, and subsequent data is processed as normal data. In the case of JAN-8, after 8 bytes of barcode data are entered, the barcode is printed, and subsequent data is processed as normal data. The number of data of an ITF barcode must be an even number. If is an odd number , the last dat a is ignored. After the number of input data reaches 255, the processing of the command starts automatically .

In the case of GS k m n:

n denotes the number of data. n bytes of subsequent data are processed as barcode data. If n is outside the definable range, the processing of the command stops, and the subsequent data is processed as normal data.

In the case of standard mode:

If d is outside the definable range, only paper feed is executed, and subsequent data is processed as normal data. If the barcode width exceeds the print area of one line, the barcode is not printed, and only paper feed is executed.

Regardless of the amount of line feed specified by the following commands, the paper is fed by the amount equal to the barcode height (including HRI characters if HRI character print is specified):

* (ESC 2:“ Sets initial line feed“) * (ESC 3:“Sets line feed“)

Effective only if no data is contained in the print buffer . If data is contained in print buffer , the data af ter m is processed as normal data. Moves the print position to the start of the next line after barcode print is completed. Has no effect on print modes (underline, character size) excluding NORMAL.

Gossen Müller & Weigert instruments

8.4.1. Connection of the IPP 144-40 GE to the DPM-MF

for the insertion of measured value into texts

For this configuration you must input and save the text as shown in section

7.4.1. of this manual. The printer receives the measuring values via interface I / RS 232 C (also possible via interface II). T o selected the text see section 7.4.2 in this manual. The relevant interface is the interface for which the parameters have to be set in the menu program. The recommended configuration is: 8 data bits, no parity , 1 stop bit, 9600 baud. With 7 bit, no parity, the sender must be set to 2 stop bits.

8.4.2. Connection of IPP 144 - 40 G with a DAA message display to print fault messages

Messages can be sent by all DAA type B and C versions. (The A version DAA are not capable of outputting data but only of displaying them since there is only one serial interface available which is used to receive data).

The connection of the printer is made via the interface II (RS 232 C) of the DAA. The printout is normally triggered by a control device (e.g. a PLC) with a strobe signal (strobe T) via the terminal strip for control inputs (parallel interface) at the DAA.

II Paper reroll mechanism IPP - AW

1. General information

The IPP-AW is a paper reroll mechanism designed for use with the Thermal Graphics Printer IPP 144-40 G. It has been designed to match the printer in colour and style. It is preferably installed directly underneath the printer . The printed paper is automatically wound on a drum by a motor. A front p anel draw allows easy paper handling.

The paper reroll mechanism is a DIN size panel mounting unit. It is supplied with power and controlled via connector cable which comes with the unit and which is connected to connector 12 of the IPP 144-40 G (see chapter 3.). An LED indicates the ready status. Depending on the distance beween the two devices at least the last 9 lines printed remain visible.
