IMPORTANT ORDERING INFORMATION When ordering Concentrators to link labeling machines such as the Gircod, Eticod, EC-24 and Printcode to a PC, it is necessary to provide Daumar with the model number of your clipping machine and labeling machine. The use of a Concentrator requires an EPROM upgrade to the circuit board in the clipping machine, as per the following chart. The possibilities are listed below: Bagging unit Labeling machine Eprom code number Xarpamatic 78 / Girplus Eticod / Gircod Eprom 22-1-18A Xarpamatic 78 / GH-10 EC-24 / 160 / Printcode Eprom 24-1-17C Xarpamatic 78 / GH-10 EC-24 / 160 Printing on Eprom 24-1-17D top. Xarpamatic 78 / GH-10 EC-24 / 120 / Printcode Eprom 24-1-18B Xarpamatic 78 / GH-10 EC-24 / 120 Printing on Eprom 24-1-18 top. Xarpa-31 / Xarpa Evolution Eticod Eprom 22-1-20B Xarpa-31 / Xarpa Evolution EC-24 / 160 Eprom 22-1-20B Xarpa-31 / Xarpa Evolution EC-24 / 12 Eprom 22-1-20B 5

Important notice An electronic key that enables communication between the PC and the labeling machine(s) protects the Daumar 40 software. Without this electronic key, the software will only work in demo mode, which does not allow communication with the labeling machine(s). The electronic key should be connected to the parallel port of the PC before installing the software. It has two connectors: the one marked Computer must be plugged to the PC parallel port, and the other is attached to the printer cable. In the event that the PC has multiple keys, make sure the Daumar 40 key is the first one attached to the computer? Installing DAUMAR 40 software: Notes: For a complete control of the whole labeling installation from a PC: - Minimum requirements: Pentium 100 processor with 32 MB RAM memory. - Windows 95 operating system or Windows 98 (in case see installation in windows 98) - For proper operation of this program, it is necessary that the PC Display be configured for 256 colors and 800 x 600 pixels. This can be verified and modified by clicking on Display in the Control Panel. If you are using low-resolution labelling machine(s) such as the EC-24, we recommend you experiment with Font Sizes to obtain the best appearance. - During the installation of Daumar 40, release 1.1, all screen prompts appear in Spanish. This will be corrected in future releases. 6

Daumar 40 requires the latest version of Windows 95, which includes Imaging. To check if your version of Windows 95 has Imaging, click on Start, Programs, Accessories, If your system has Imaging, it should show up as one of the options. If Imaging is already installed, please skip step 1. Step 1 - Imaging: Only follow this step if your version of Windows does not have Imaging installed. - From the Start menu, select Run, insert the diskette labelled VB10 1/3 and type a: setup.exe. Follow the set-up instructions until VB10 is correctly installed. - From the Start menu, select Programs and click on the VB10 icon. - The program VB10 will start, if it finds Imaging already installed in your PC, a dialog screen will prompt you if you wish to re-install. Step 2 Daumar 40: - From the Start menu, select Run and type a:setup exe. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the program. 7

VARIABLE DATA LIST This button is only available when some variable data object has been made (Dates, lots, or texts). VERSION & LANGUAGE This button activates a screen that displays the software version and allows language selection for the operation of Daumar 40. The default language is Spanish. The language texts are located in archives written in text format in the Daumar 40 program folder and their names are : espanol.idi, english.idi, français.idi In the event that other languages are required, the process is very simple: just copy any of these three files and rename it with the name of the language to be added (example.idi). Double click on the new file icon and you will see all the words in the program that you can edit at your convenience. This is an easy way to configure Daumar 40 to display in another language. Please note, it is very important not to touch the three asterisks at the end of the text. 11

DAUMAR 40R CONFIGURATION. When Daumar 40 is launched, there are really three programs that are simultaneously opened; the first one is the label editor, and the other two are Allocation and Communications, which are both shown minimised in the task bar. 1. Click Daumar logo. Configuration screen. Please check if the configuration is like this: Click Daumar Logo, located on the right part of the screen. The configuration will appear. The user level must be Edition + Allocation + screening. The type of work on network must be disconnected from the network. See drawing 1. 12

2.. Make one label and store it. 3. Communications screen. When clicking on Communications the following screen (drawing 2) will appear: Select range between 01 and 96. Select COM number. See drawing 2 This window gives you the possibility to select the serial port number where the Converter RS-485 is placed (com 1, com2, etc). Just enter the proper digit in com number: and then press OK. 13

4. Allocation screen. When clicking on Allocation the following screen (drawing 3) can be seen: This window allows allocation of the type and number of the labelling machine, as well as the label s number. By pressing Add we enter the labeller s number, the label type as per the available types list, and the allocated label number. If we enter 000" for the value of allocated label, we allow the user to request any label from the labelling machine. If we enter a value different to 000" we restrict the possibilities of the user to print the label which number has been written in allocated label. After entering data, save changes must be pressed and the new labeller s number will be shown in the table. The changes will become effective when clicking on Exit. See drawing 3. 5. Communications screen. Go back to communications and activate communications. 14

The communications can be switched on and off by just clicking the Activate/Deactivate button. When communications are ON, you can see the different numbers of the labellers quickly changing in the Checking labelling machine window as the PC is systematically scans the attached labelling machines. See drawing 4. WIRING CONNECTIONS 15

Before running wire, one should determine the type of installation necessary. There are two basic types of installations; (1) A PC connected directly to one or more High Density labelling machines or (2) A PC connected to one or more Concentrators. When connecting Low Density labelling machines such as the EC-24, a Concentrator must be placed between the PC and the labelling machine. It is possible to connect up to 16 labelling machines to each Concentrator. The software Daumar 40 allows a maximum of 96 labelling machines on the network, which means a maximum of 6 Concentrators. If you are installing high density labelling machines such as the EC-40, you do not need a Concentrator. An RS-485 connector must be placed on an available RS-232 (serial) port on the PC. This improves the RF-noise tolerance and allows a longer wire run. The wire specifications are Shielded Twisted Pair, 2-Pair. Wiring a PC directly to one or more High Density Labelling Machines See figure 6 for proper schematic layout. 1 Connect the RS-485 converter to an available serial port (RS-232) on the PC. 2 Run the cable from the PC to the labelling machine(s), making sure to stay away from electrical outlets, power cords and motors.(see wiring PC to concentrator or EC-40). 3 Configure the local stations (Labelling Machines). The circuit board that controls each local station (CI-7033) has 4 sliding switches, that allow 16 different values (see figure 4). Make sure the first local station is 01, the second is 02, the third 03, etc.. Wiring a PC to one or more Concentrators 16

See figure 1 for proper schematic layout. 1 Connect the RS-485 converter to an available serial port (RS-232) on the PC. 2 Run the cable from the PC to the Concentrator(s). First, install the wire between the PC and the Concentrators. Cable sample: Shielded Twisted Pair, 2-Pair. Sample: 17

The wire must be laid as far as possible from any source of electrical noises (RF Interference). This type of network connection requires that the transmission line have impedance of 60 ohm. Consequently, it is necessary to place terminators at both ends of the line. Two resistors of 120 ohm must be installed at the end connected to the RS-485 converter, and two more resistors of 120 ohm at the line s end. It is necessary that each node or union coincide with the connector of each Concentrator, in other words, the Concentrators are connected in parallel, not in series. The line coming from the RS-485 converter must go to the first Concentrator, and from this unit s connector the line must go to the next Concentrator, and so successively. Be careful not to mix the polarity of the wires. 3 - Wire the Concentrator to the labelling machine(s), as can be seen in figure 2. If replacing a Programming Unit for a Concentrator, the already existing line between EC-24 s and Programming Unit can be used. Just pay attention not to change the polarity of the wires when replacing the Programming Unit s connector for the Concentrator s numbered connecting rule. If it is a new installation, proceed as in step 2, with the exception that the terminators are not necessary. 4 Configure the Concentrator(s). Each Concentrator can handle 16 labelling machines, and we can install up to 6 Concentrators. It is logically required that each Concentrator has a single ID number that distinguishes it from the others. When opening the Concentrator s cover you can see that the small circuit board (9049) has some sliding switches (see figure 3). These switches allow you to change the number of each Concentrator. Here is the table with the numbers allocation : Concentrator 0: local station numbers 1 to16 Concentrator 1: local station number 17 to 32 Concentrator 2: local station number 33 to 48 Concentrator 3: local station number 49 to 64 Concentrator 4: local station number 65 to 80 Concentrator 5: local station number 81 to 96 5 Configure the local stations (Labelling Machines). The circuit board that controls each local station (CI-7033) has 4 sliding switches, that allow 16 different values (see figure 4). Make sure the first local station is 01, the second is 02, the third 03, etc.. 18

EC-40 CONTROL BOX The EC-40 control box is an autonomous electronic device that can handle high definition printing machines (Gircod-Plus,etc.) It does not need a Concentrator and can be connected to an RS-485 network (see figure 6). Up to 32 high resolution labelling machines can be connected to the same PC. Each time a printing order is given, the labeller prints a label. There are two connectors at the back of the machine, X1 and X2. X1 receives the start order as per the instructions in figure 5. This contact does not obtain any internal power from the machine, it must be connected to the power source of the bagging machine where the labelling machine is fitted. X2 is the communications connector that must be connected according to the wiring connections instructions. CONFIGURATION There are two sliding switches inside the control box that allow to set-up the different operating modes. SW1 OFF ON EC-40 AUTONOMOUS CONTROL BOX INTEGRATED IN XARPA-31 SW2 SW3 SW4 19

XARPA 31 WITH INTEGRATED CONTROL OF LABELLING MACHINE EC-40 Once the installation has been carried out as previously described, connect to the control box of the XARPA-31, which in this case is a circular connector with four contacts (see figure 7). CONFIGURATION The number of the labelling machine allocated to the XARPA must be defined and in order to do this the configuration of the Xarpa must be set. This process is carried out using the screen of the Xarpa First of all select option 0, LABEL, from the main screen of the Xarpa. The screen referring to the labelling machine will appear and, on the second line, which reads number of label, press the key sequence 3 8 7 C, and a service menu will appear. Choose option 3 LOCATION NUMBER, and the following will appear N. OF LABELLING M.(01 TO 96): introduce the desired number and press M. Then exit by pressing C until the main menu appears. NOTE: If you wish to consult the selected location number, on pressing 0 from the main menu, the first line shows: the location number, the type of labelling machine and the label which has been memorised. Concentrator display/ec-40 display. The display is a device that permits us to check what is going on in the working process. We have different steps or phases (so the display will show what the situation is): 28

1. The display is not showing anything. The display is completely off. Check if the concentrator/local 40 is correctly connected to the main power. Check if the primary of the concentrator transformer is receiving 220 V. Check if there is any fuse blown. Check if the secondary of the concentrator transformer is giving 11V and 12V, 2. PC / L-- --. The display is showing PC or L - and after a few seconds PC again. It means that there is no communication between the computer and the concentrator. -Check if in the computer the Daumar 40 is running. -Check if the concentrator sliding switches are setup in correct position. (See pag.18 figure 4 to configure labelers attached to a concentrator). -Check if the settings of the communication and the allocation are correct. (Make sure that the number of labeler you configure with the sliding switches in the Circuit board 7033 local unit, is the same as you configure in the allocation option inside the Daumar 40 software. If you connect more than one labeler, see also page 18 in the Daumar 40 book. -Check if the converter transformer is correctly connected to the 220V power supply and check if the output is 9VDC.Also check if it is connected to the serial port, if necessary we also send to you an adapter in case you have a 9 pins Com. -Check if the wires are connected as they should be. -Check if the KEY is correctly connected (must be connected to the parallel port of the computer). If you still have the same information on the display screen; you may have some problems in the computer COM. To check if there is any problem in the COM, you can use the HYPER TERMINAL. 29

3.Step 1. L01,L02,L03...L16 / L17,L18,L19...L32. The display is showing L 01, after L 02... Lets say, that when we configure 16 labelers attached to the first concentrator we will see on the display that the number 01 will be continuously changing until it arrives to number 16 and after the number 16 the number 01 will reappear and so on. When this happens, it means that the computer is communicating with the concentrator. In case of local 40 you see the number of label in memory and when is requesting a label you see the number changing. Step 2. REQUESTING LABEL.E 01 The display is showing E 01 when you request one label from the local unit and depending on the labeller number you will see E and then the number of the labeller. This means that the concentrator is receiving the request for one label from the Local Unit (7033). Step 3.PC IS PREPARING THE LABEL TO BE SENT.R-01. The display will show r 01. At this moment you will see that the computer screen is going to change it s format, showing the label, but inverted, lets say that now the computer is preparing the label to be sent to the concentrator. Sometimes this step is very fast, because the computer did this sometime before, if you request this label for the first time it takes a little more time. 4. PC IS SENDING THE LABEL. + R01 The display will show you + r 01. At this moment the computer is sending the label to the concentrator. The number is the number of labelling machine. 5.CONCENTRATOR IS SENDING THE LABEL TO THE LOCAL UNIT ( 3PPM). T-01. The display will show you t 01. At this moment the concentrator is sending the label to the local unit board 7033. Only in case concentrator. 30

Step 1. The display will show you again the same information as step 3. L-01...L-02...L-01 Now the label has been sent OK. And the system is waiting for another label request. ALARMS: These steps can be interrupted by an alarm at the end of the process or during it. The display can show different alarms as follows: - A01. PC is not sending labels. - A02. Label does not exist. Will appear at the end of the step 4. - A03. Repeat 10 times the same data. It means that the machine has sent the information of the label 10 times but this information has not been completely received from the concentrator. - A04. The type of label that the computer sent is not the same as the label machine type. This means for example that we ask for one label 120 mm/3ppm and the labelling machine is in an EC-24 160mm/3ppm format. -A05. Over-temperature thermal head alarm. - A00. The thermal head temperature alarm disappears. (Only in X-31). - A06. Communication alarm. 31

Note: If for any reason the computer will not communicate with the concentrator, we suggest to turning off the concentrator, turn off the power for the converter RS485, close the communications, and after close the allocation: then exit from Daumar 40, restart the computer and open Daumar 40 again. In the communication window to close the communication place your mouse on the colon after checking labelling and click the left button. In the allocation window to close the allocation place the mouse on the colon after labeller number and click the left button. 32
