3.Serial and Ethernet Configuration

Your MULTI4 marking equipment can communicate by sending orders using the RS232 serial port or the optional

Ethernet port.

Both port settings can be configured using the communication window (see User Guide)

Your M4 Inline marking equipment embedded an Ethernet card allowing to connect the marking machine to the

client internal net (using straight cable) or directly to a PC (using crossed cable). Ideally, connect your control box on

your company network (switch, hub …). For a direct connection to a Computer, you should prefer use RS232

connection way.

Parameters and configuration of your Network and control box must be done by your Network administrator.

When this option is installed, and a cable is connected, the M4 Inline tries immediately to establish a communication

with the net.

The TCP communication port is 6120 port.

Client net Connection

A DHCP server is available on the net, MULTI4 includes a DHCP client module, and the MULTI4 IP address is

automatically attributed by the server.

Direct PC connection :

If the PC includes a DHCP server, it works exactly the same way as previously.

The RS232 cable should be a straight cable.

4.Communication Protocol

The controller communication protocol allows using the system as « slave equipment », by sending orders using the

RS232 serial port or Ethernet port.

The RS232 cable connection should be a standard straight cable.

For Ethernet configuration see chapter Ethernet Card.

The system waits for orders with the following structure:

[STX][Command 1][Command 2]…[Command N][ETX]

[STX] correspond to character ASCII 02 and define the beginning of the frame.

[ETX] correspond to character ASCII 03 and define the end of the frame.

Each command ends with [CR], end of command indicator; its ASCII value is 13.

Each command (exception for the last error command) gets an answer from the control box: ACK if the command is

allowed, NACK if not.

[ACK] correspond to character ASCII 06

[NACK] correspond to character ASCII 21

For example the answer frame can be: [STX][ACK][ETX].

Answer can be disabled by including the disable answer command in the frame.

LIST OF AVAILABLE COMMANDS:

4.1.Open a file command - A

Opening of a file is done by command Afollowed by the file name:

Example: Open the test file

[STX]ATEST[CR][ETX]

4.2.Variable command - B

It is possible to define a variable content with command Bfollowed by the variable name then the character = then

the desired value.

Example: to give the value TEST to a variable called CB (bar code)

[STX]BCB=TEST[CR][ETX]

The variable CB must be define in the opened file on the control box.

The file TEST has to be in the controller.

4.3.Serial Number command - C

It is possible to give a value to a serial number with command Cfollowed by the serial number name, then the

character = then the desired value.

Example:give the value 123 to a serial number NUM

[STX]CNUM=123[CR][ETX]

4.4.Marking parameters command - H

Command Hallows to setup marking parameters of the current file on the control box.

The parameters values are :

M : mirror mode m. ‘0’ no mirror, ‘1’ horizontal mirror, ‘2’ vertical mirror

Z : Zero appearance. ‘0’ for crossed zero, ‘1’ non crossed zero

V : marking speed. From ‘1’ to ‘5’

A : '0'

DDDD : '0000’

ZZZZ : ‘0000’

The frame has the following form:

[STX]HMZVADDDDZZZZZZZZ [CR][ETX]

Example: No mirror mode, slashed zero, speed 2:

[STX]H0020000000000000[CR][ETX]

Example: No mirror mode, with slashed zero, speed 5 :

[STX]H0052000000000000[CR][ETX]

4.5.IDI command - I

To set IDI file parameters, send the Icommand with IDI parameters.

Value 0 to disable IDI, 1 to enable IDI flat mode and 2 to enable curved mode.

Example: IDI flat mode for the current file:

[STX]I1[CR][ETX]

The serial number NUM has to be programmed in the opened file on the controller.

4.6.New File command - N

To create a new marking file, send the Ncommand.

Example : [STX]N[CR][ETX]

4.7.Marking line command - M

You can send a complete marking line with frame Mand the following parameters:

XXXXX : position X in tenth of mm , from ‘-9999’ to ‘+9999’

YYYYY : position Y in tenth of mm , from ‘-9999’ to ‘+9999’

HHH : height in tenth of mm , from ‘005’ to ‘999’

CCC : compression, from ’050 ‘to ‘200’

RRRRR : Radius for circular marking, in tenth of mm, from ‘-9999’ to ‘+9999’

AAAA : angle in tenth of degrees from ‘0000’ to ‘3600’

F : Marking depth from ‘1’ to‘5’

P : font ‘0’ or ‘1’

M : Matrix from ‘1’ to ‘3’

VVV : spacing between the points for matrix 3, from ‘000’to ‘255’

E : spacing between the characters from ‘0’ to ‘9’

I : italic from ‘0’ to ‘9’

…: text to be marked ; length under 255 characters (text field)

The frame has the following structure:

[STX]MXXXXXYYYYYHHHCCCRRRRRAAAAFPMVVVEI…[CR][ETX]

Example : line containing “MYTEXT” in position x=10 & y=20, height 10 mm, compression 100, no radius nor angle,

marking depth 2, font OCR, matrix 2, normal spacing, normal italic:

[STX]M+0100+0200100100+0000000020200055MYTEXT[CR][ETX]

The line is added at the end of the opened marking file on the control box.

4.7.1. Logo

To insert a logo in a marking line, use the syntax [L=logoname.lgo] in the text field.

Example: Insert the logo named LOGO.lgo in the text line just after the text “MYTEXT”

[STX]M+0100+0200100100+0000000020200055MYTEXT[L=LOGO.lgo][CR][ETX]

4.8.Start Marking command - D

Marking is ordered by the command D.

Example : [STX]D[CR][ETX]

To get the information frames at the end of marking, the return must be activated by command Rfollowed by

character 1 (or 0 to deactivate this function)

Example [STX]R1[CR][ETX]

In this case the following frames will be sent by the marking machine:

When the last marking impact is done, the controller returns the "end of marking" frame :

[STX]Marking End[ETX]

When the marking cycle is finished, the controller returns the "end of cycle" frame :

[STX]Cycle End[ETX]

4.9.Pause and stop - Q

Marking can be forced to pause mode by command Q

Example : [STX]Q[CR][ETX]

The pause will stay as long as no other command is sent.

By sending the marking frame the marking will go on

Sending once again the pause command Qwill stop the marking and the head will return to origin position and

cancel marking.

4.10. Last Error - E

You can recover the last error Control box error code by sending command E:

[STX]E[CR][ETX]

In that case the machine return the last error code RR (see error code)

[STX]ERR[ETX]

Example : No error

[STX]E00ETX]

The last error can be erased sending Kcommand:

[STX]K[CR][ETX]
