5.4.2.5. CREATING/EDITING A COMMUNICATIONS PORT ‑TYPE TEXT OBJECT
Use a Communications port ‑type text object to add data received from an external device
( e.g . a computer, automatic scales, a bar code reader) to a project via:
– Ethernet (with connector ),
– the RS-232/RS-485 (with connector ).
Data can be transferred from an external device to the printer when
– The device is connected to the connector of an appropriate printer interface,
– The interface is correctly set up.
For more details on how to configure communications interfaces see “7.4. Configuring
Communications Interfaces” .
To create a Communications port ‑type text object :
1. Press | | .
2. Set the parameters that are specific to the Communications port ‑type object .
Parameter Range of settings
| | Port
COM1, Socket1 – 5001 to Socket9 - 5009
The interface through which data is transferred from an external device:
- COM1 : data is transferred via the RS-232/RS-485 ,
- Socket1 – 5001 to Socket9 - 5009 : data is transferred via a selected Ethernet TCP/IP
socket (with a defined port number).
The printer offers 10 different sockets (with port numbers from 5000 to 5009) for
transferring data via Ethernet . This means that up to 10 separate Communications
port‑type objects can be added to a project and the objects can be used for
printing various data.
The information about
Ethernet (such as the IP address of the printer) that is neces -
sary for correct transfer of data to the printer is available by pressing
.
| | Baud rate [bps]
1200 to 230400
The parameter is available only if | | Port = COM1 .
Rate at which data is transferred.
|
| Bit count
7, 8
The parameter is available only if | | Port = COM1 .
The number of data bits.
