Controller Utilities
The Controller Utilities tab includes functions that apply to the controller
in the 502 printer.
These functions will only work when the printer is connected to
a PC using the USB-C diagnostic port on the rear of the printer,
below the power connection.
1.
COM Port
If a single 502 Printer is connected to the PC using the USB-C diagnostic port, the
COM port will be the only one available. If multiple printers are connected, select
the correct port from the drop-down list.
While multiple printers can be connected using the diagnostic ports, having a single
printer connected means you cannot select the wrong COM port.
2.
Firmware Version
Displays the current firmware on the controller board (the version number shown
here is for illustration purposes only).
The
Refresh
button will only be available if the Utility did not detect the Printer
when it was started (printer off, not connected, etc.).
3.
Calibrate Unwinder
Click the
Calibrate Unwinder
button to
calibrate the unwinder to the thickness
of your cores. You will need an empty
core of the same thickness that you are
using.
Place the empty core on the unwinder,
all the way over to the fixed plate and
tighten the mandrel. Click the
Calibrate
button.
