3DGence Material Management System | version 1 | 03.2022
The SMM system in the Material Management System device consists of three key elements:
1.
An SMM TAG reader, located on the front of the device, under the display;
2.
SMM system stickers containing the material data, affixed to the material spool coming from the Certified Material Base;
3.
3DGence CLOUD system, which allows you the traceability of a spool of material and the tracking of material status within
the 3DGence CLOUD account.

REAR PANEL
6.1.
LAN
The LAN socket allows the device to be connected to a network infrastructure via a cable with an RJ45 standard plug. The
network can be connected to the Internet, in which case it is possible to use the 3DGence CLOUD system and automatic MMS
software updates.
The socket can also be used to connect a WLAN adapter, due to the PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology applied. If the
manufacturer's supplied adapter is used, no additional power supply is required. The manufacturer provides a pre-configured
device, and the selection of the appropriate Wi-Fi network and security is done through the operator panel. It is possible to
use LAN/WLAN adapters from external suppliers, but then it will be necessary to configure the device outside the device
software and the PoE function will be inactive.
It is recommended to use cables with RJ45 Cat 5 plugs with a maximum length of 10 metres.
6.2.
Overcurrent protection
The device's overcurrent protection (AC fuse) is located on the rear housing of the device. It provides protection of the device
against the effects of short circuits and low voltage AC and DC overloads.
When high current surges occur, the AC fuse activates,
protecting the electrical and electronic components of the MMS. Before restarting, ensure that all malfunctions have been
corrected and that the start-up of the device does not cause any hazard. To reconnect the power supply, push the protruding
part of the fuse inside its housing.
6.3.
Main switch
The main switch is located at the rear of the device and power is supplied to all systems inside the MMS through this switch.
The switch is provided with 2 current circuits. It is recommended to switch off the device using the main switch after completing
the safe shutdown procedure from the operator panel (the power button on the front panel of the device).
6.4.
Power cable input
The power cable input is located on the rear housing of the device. It is fitted with a cable gland to prevent the supply cable
from being kinked. Use power cables that comply with the specifications and check the condition of the power cable. Do not
use the device with a damaged cable or cable gland.

Recrystallisation set for prints
7.2.
3-chamber extension
The 3DGence Material Management System can optionally be provided with a 3-chamber expansion module that doubles the
capacity of the device. Each base MMS device (fitted with a display) can be provided with a single expansion module and
installation is easy and can be done by the user himself. A minimum of two people is recommended to unpack the expansion
module due to the size and weight of the device.

Methods of connecting the expansion module to the mains
NOTE: The expansion module has the same electrical connection requirements as the base unit. For this reason, the extension
module can be connected via:
