4 Introduction. Instructions Important information and instructions are designated as follows: Danger Draws attention to an exceptionally great, imminent danger to your health or life due to hazardous voltages. Danger Draws attention to a danger with high risk which, if not avoided, may result in death or serious injury. Warning Draws attention to a danger with medium risk which, if not avoided, may result in death or serious injury. Caution Draws attention to a danger with low risk which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. Attention Draws attention to potential risks of property damage or loss of quality. i Note Advices to make work routine easier or on important steps to be carried out. Environment Advices on protecting the environment. Time Handling instructions Reference to chapter, position, picture number or document. Option (accessories, peripherals, extras). Viewed in the display / monitor.

5 Introduction. Content of the Documentation The documentation contains the description of the following interfaces, which are especially defined for Hermes C : I/O interface (0) Connector warning light () Connector emergency stop () Connector central compressed air valve () The RS- interface () is uniformly defined for all cab label printers Configuration Manual. The interface for cab Applicators is an USB interface for data transfer between cab modules only. Therefore there is no further description in this manual. All other interfaces are standardized and therefore no matter of this documentation. 0 0 Hermes+ Hermes C Power switch Power connection jack Slot for PC Card Type II or WLAN card Slot for CompactFlash memory card Ethernet 0/00 Base-T USB master ports for keyboard, scanner or service key USB high-speed slave port Serial RS- C port Connector central compressed air valve 0 I/O interface Connector warning light Connector emergency stop Fig. Connections

6 I/O Interface For use in a network the print module is equipped with an I/O interface to start and interrupt the printing and labelling process. It also passes on state information as well as error messages to the control of the network.. Pin Assignment The interface has a pin SUB-D connector. Pin Pin Pin Fig. I/O interface Pin Pin Signal Name Description Activation / Active State without applicator with applicator DREE - Print first label in mode "Apply-Print" Switch on + V between Pin and Pin VWE Warning end of labels 0 V on Pin This signal reports that there is available only a few amount of media. SUE - Lower end position + V on Pin The pad of the applicator is in the labelling position PTE Label transport ON + V on Pin Labels are fed by the print module SOE - Upper end position + V on Pin The pad of the applicator is in the position where the labels are taken from the printer. GND Ground (0 V) for sensors or trigger switches FME Error Out of paper or "Out of ribbon" 0 V on Pin There is no (more) material (labels or ribbon) in the printer. The operation is stopped and the details and type of error can be read from the display. The last label printed while the error occurred will be repeated. EDG Print job available + V on Pin Print jobs are stored in the print module. 0 DB Printer is ready The printer is in Ready state. + V on Pin 0 Printer and applicator are ready Printer and applicator are in Ready state. FEED Label feed A blank label is forwarded to synchronize the label transport; label feed is proceeded only if no print job is available or an error has occurred WDR Repeat print The last printed label is repeated, counters are not altered in mode "Print-Apply" only START Print start signal Precondition : The superior control has confirmed with the ETE signal that the previous label has been taken from the peel-off position. + V on Pin + V between Pin and Pin Print/application start signal + V between Pin and Pin

11 I/O Interface. I/O Interface Adapter Hermes A - Hermes+ The I/O interface adapter (Part No. ) provides a pin interface to use existing systems which have used Hermes A labeling systems before. Attention In special applicators signals can be used with other meanings in the firmware. This can cause functional errors. In that case contact the producer please. i Notice The Hermes A signal "applicator error" is not available. Fig. Mounting the I/O interface adapter Attention Switch off the printer before mounting the adapter. XX When using a compressed air service unit or a signal lamp remove the mounting bracket () from the printer. XX Mount the interface adapter () on the I/O interface of the printer. XX Connect the cable of the existing system at the interface adapter. XX Remount the mounting bracket () with compressed air service unit or signal lamp on the printer.

Connector Central Compressed Air Valve Central Compressed Air Valve Fig. Connector central compressed air valve With a central compressed air valve connected to the -pin socket the compressed air in the labelling system can be switched off by an emergency stop. Attention For using the central compressed air valve the I/O interface must be connected to V at Pin 0 and to GND at Pin.
