Figure F-1 Drawer Drive Signal Waveform (Formulas F-1 and F-2)
The ON time depends on the specifications of the drawer used. Be sure to check the drawer
specifications and set a suitable time. To use a drawer that does not meet the conditions of
Formulas F-1 and F-2, see the following section.
3) Using a drawer that does not meet the conditions in 2) (
ESC p
,
DLE DC4
)
i. For
ESC p
Setting the values of t1 and t2 according to the conditions in 2) results in a maximum ON time of
126 ms (0
≤
t1
≤
63), since the setting ranges of
t1
and
t2
are 0 to 255. To use a drawer that
requires an ON time exceeding 126 ms, the following conditions must be met:
ON time
ON time + (OFF time +
α
)
≤
0.2.................................Formula F-3
α
:other sequence processing time
NOTE:
α
is the drawer-driving prohibited period from the OFF time until the next ON time.
ii. For
DLE DC4
Since
DLE DC4
sets ON time equals to OFF time, use
α
so that Formula F-3 is met.
