1.2) Description of the M3000

1.2.1. Generalities

The M3000 is a numerically-controlled micro-percussion marking M3000. The mechanical part is based on a X/Y table guided by step by step motors that move a marking tool.

The electronic command is incorporated within the machine. It is made up of electronic boards and a cooling system.

The man/M3000 interface is also incorporated and made up of :

1 LCD screen 1 Mini keyboard 1 switch on the handle to trigger marking.

All of the elements making up this equipment are run by a simple user-friendly marking program.

The external PC keyboard (105 keys) is also included with the M3000 for easy programming of the files.

As a further option, the M3000 may be driven by a Windows® based program when connecting the Control Unit to a PC using an RS232 cable.

Its light weight and its specially conceived ergonomics will permit the operator to carry it to the parts to be marked no matter where they are located, on a working site, in a hangar, etc...

The electric power needed to run the M3000 may come directly from the mains supply or from the portable battery attached to the operator’s belt.

The connection to the pneumatic supply is situated at the end of the handle.

1.9.3. Connecting the keyboard

Plug the connecting plug to the socket shown in the picture on page 12. The connector of the M3000 is a Mini Din female type.

1.9.4. Connecting the compressed air

A rapid connector for flexible tubing (.Ø 4 x 6) is fitted at the end of the tubing. If your installation uses tubing of a different diameter, this connector can be replaced by one of an appropriate diameter

The air pressure at the connector should always be between 5.5 and 6 Bar.

The usage of tubing that is too long will cause a drop in pressure. In this case, the pressure at the end where the air enters should be above 6 Bar in order to ensure a range of 5.5 to 6 Bar at the gun entrance.

Use a pressure reducer valve/ pressure release valve with a simple filter (Ref.: 2501).

1.9.5. Connecting the power supply

1.9.5.1 - Connecting the power supply

• Check that the input voltage of your power supply is correct: 115 or 230V

The power supply must be connected in this order:

1. M3000 : Attach and lock the metallic male connector to the female connector.

2. Supply : Reconnect the male plug to your low voltage power supply.

1.9.5.2 - Connecting the battery (optional)

• Put on the battery belt. The battery should be on your back.

• From the M3000 side :

- Push and screw the metallic male connector to the 1 m. cable (female part)

- Push and screw the circular plug (Jack type, 6.35mm) to the rear of the battery case

1.9.6. Connection to a ground connection in both cases:

The marking equipment must be properly grounded to provide:

- A safe environment for the operators,

- A permanent electric potential to be used as a reference,

- A protection against electromagnetic interference.

The ground connection in the factory must be of good quality. If such were not the case, a specific ground connection should be installed for the marking equipment.

The first time that a file is marked, you are advised to activate the “Off-limit control” (see chapter 2.9.3.2 -). In this way, the program will inform you if the text to be marked is too long for the M3000’s marking zone.

The stroke code will induce the variation of the power with which the marking tool will hit the part.

Four stroke codes are available : 0, 2, 4 and 6.

The higher the stroke code, the deeper the marking.

The stroke code 0 cannot be selected when the standard foot is in use.

2.9.11.1 - Checksum Algorithm

The checksum will be added to the end of the message. It is represented by 2 conscecutive characters (0 - F, hexadecimal).

The originator will calculate the checksum with the useful data from the transmitted message. The receiver will also calculate the checksum with the useful transmitted data and then compare this new checksum with the one received.

. If the 2 checksums are identical, the message’s data will be valid. The receiver will reply by returning the con-

tents of the P5 zone by the RS232 connector.

. If the 2 checksums are different, the receiver will send back the message contained in the P6 zone by default.

The calculation of the checksum can be made by making an "or exclusive" (XOR) between the characters contained in the useful part of the message.

. Emission Checksum = "character1 emitted" XOR "character2 emitted" XOR ..…. "Character n emitted".

The result is a number of 8 bytes (0 - 255) coded on 2 characters (00 - FF) so as to be transmissable on the line.

. Reception Checksum = "character1 received" XOR "character2 received" XOR …... "Character n received".

• Examples 1

The "ABCD" message: Checksum = 65 XOR 66 XOR 67 XOR 68

= 4 hexadecimal

The originator will send the"ABCD04" message

• Examples 2

The "12345"message: Checksum = 49 XOR 50 XOR 51 XOR 52 XOR 53

= 49 decimal = 31 hexadecimal

The originator will send the "1234531"message

2.9.11.2 - Historical file

The historical file can contain a maximum of 100 recordings. When it is full a message will be displayed on the screen and suggest two possiblilities:

• Continue the marking without saving the data received,

• Overwrite the oldest recording in the historical file.

The historical file is not visible on the screen of the machine but it can be recuperated with the RS232 connector using the <ESC>RB 0<CR> command. The historical file will be recuperated in the following format:

DMMYYYY/HHMMSS/CB/Contents of the variable

2.11) Data reception using the RS232

The @CB(......)@ instruction used in a text block will permit you to introduce a chain of characters received through the

RS232 connection or from the keyboard port.

The chain of characters received will be stored in a specific variable in the @CB(......)@ instruction.

2.11.1. Syntax used

@CB(firstchar,endchar,mode,saving,V,batch)@

2.11.1.1 - Definition

firstchar : Position number in the chain of characters received from which the text to be stored should be taken

into account to save it in the "V" variable. Whole number value beween 0 and the length of the chaine of characters received.

endchar : Position number in the chain of characters received up to which the text to be stored should be taken

into account to save in the "V" variable. Whole number value beween 0 and the length of the chain of characters received.

mode : 0 : data is received by the serial port.

2 : data is received by the PC’s keyboard port.

saving : Specifies whether data received in the variable will be saved in the historical file.

0 : The data will NOT be saved. 1 : The data will be saved (100 files max).

V : number of the variable in which the text should be saved, between V0 and V9.

batch : number of markings to be made with this variables programming before entering a new program.

1 : Data reception will be necessary at each marking. 0 : Data reception necessary only once, at the time of the first marking (even in the case of multiple

markings of the file). Remark : After the machine has been switched off, after a reset or if the file has been exited by pressing the ESC key, a new data reception will be necessary.

-1 : The data reception will only be carried out if the operator requests it, either by: . pressing the keyboard keys of the machine (CTRL + ALT + G), . activation of an input, . sending the order <ESC>CI<CR> via the RS232 connector.

2 - 72 USING THE MARKING PROGRAM WITH EXTERNAL KEYBOARD IN "PROGRAMMING" MODE

(Ref.90703-MDIS4314/0601C0-chap024314.fm.doc) PRO-PEN

2.11.1.2 - Examples

Example 1: @CB(1,4,0,0,2,1)@

• When the file is being executed, the "waiting for reception" message will be displayed until the text is received on the RS232 port.

• The received text will be saved in the n°2 variable (V2). The operator should transmit the 0123456789 text. However only the chain between the n°1 and n° 4 characters will be saved in V2. Therefore V2 = 0123.

• The text "MARKING" will be displayed on the screen throughout the marking until the next reception request (or end of marking cycle).

• A acquisition request will be made for each marking of the file, because in this example the batch is equal to 1.

Example 2 : @CB(0,0,0,1,3,-1)@

• Data reception is only necessary if the operator requests it, either by : . pressing simultaneously on the keys "Ctrl + Alt + G", . sending the order <ESC>CI<CR> via the RS232 connector, . activation of an input defined in the menu "Dialogue configuration".

• The text received by the RS232 connector is saved in the n°3 variable. The complete chain is saved because the value

of "firstchar and endchar" is 0.

• The complete chain is saved in the historical file because the value of the parameter "saving" is 1.

2.11.2. Utilization in a marking file

It is possible within the same file to move to several blocks containing the @CB@ instruction. The marking of the contents of the correponding variables (enter @Vi@) can be done either immediately after the entry or later.

Example 1 : Two blocks containing the @CB@ instruction follow each other :

Two di fferent

Block 1 : @CB....V1....@

Block 2 : @CB....V2....@

Block 3 : @V1@ Block 4 : @V2@

Marking of the contents of these two reception variables will be done after the second entry.

Example 2 : Two blocks containing the @CB@ insstruction do not follow each other :

and successive entries are necessary:

Two different but

not successive entries are necessary :

Block 1 : @CB...V1....@

Block 2 : @V1@

Block 3 : @CB...V2....@

Block 4 : @V2@

Marking of the contents of these 2 reception variables will be done after each of these two entries.

In the case of this type of operation it is necessary that the value of the batch be identical for the @CB@ instructions. Otherwise the value of the first command will be given by default.
