8.14.2 MOVE ACTUATOR AUTOMATICALLY
[Name]
move actuator automatically
[Format]
<RS> # „Actuator number“ „<direction>“ <quantityH><quantityL>
<actuator number>
number of actuator is a CHARACTER value
„c“ or „C“
moving out (close printer head, increase head contact pressure)
„o“ or „O“
moving in („O“ is the non-synchronized command)
[Description]
The actuator will be moved in the specified amount of steps given by the sensor, who controls steps and
stroke length. Actuator number in lower case letters cause actuator movement, only after all
commands previously given have been processed. In capital letters , the actuator is moved as soon as
possible. If immediate execution of the command is not possible, the parser tries for maximum 10
seconds to reinitiate the execution of the command. This is the case, if for example a key was pressed
twice during the synchronization of the previous command. During this time no further commands will
be accepted. If after terminated synchronization still no acceptance of the instruction is possible, the
command will be discarded and a syntax error command ' ignored ' reported.
[Example]
open Piano box: <RS>„#“„3“„O“<1d><120d>
8.14.3 ACTUATOR NUMBERS
0: Head Lift
(at GeBE-PrinterLab GPT-10000)
The head lift command automatically moves the head attachment of the PrinterLab in print or standby position.
The printer head sinks until the Head_UP sensor is closed (maximum <quantityH><quantityL>).
Afterwards additional motor steps up to defined amount in parameter 37,7 will be performed in order to safely
move the head attachment to its end position. The head lift command only reacts with closed Head_UP sensor
and will subsequently move the preset motorsteps <quantityH><quantityL>. If necessary, the motor step amount
will be limited to the system parameter value „37,5“. A completely opened head can not be closed when a too
low number of motor steps is selected. In this case the command must be repeated. An issued command for
automatic closing will be non-effective, when the sensor is no more detecting 'HeadUp'. Same as a command for
automatical opening while the sensor already detects 'HeadUp'. In those cases first issue a reverse command in
order to receive a defined 'HeadUp' status.
1: Head Contact Pressure
(at GeBE-PrinterLab GPT-10000)
At moving-in the amount of steps will be performed until shift of sensor AUX3. Afterwards the step amount
defined in parameter 37,7 will be performed in order to safely move to zero-position. Once the zero-position is
reached, the actuator only moves between position 7 – 492!
2: Head Alignment
(at GeBE-PrinterLab GPT-10000)
3: Head Open
The <RS>#3c<n><m> command moves the actuator to home position. After each reset, the actuator checks the
home position. If the sensor is closed nothing will happen. If not, <RS>#3c<n><m> will be performed. A warning
will be issued if the sensor does not reach the home position.
The <RS>#3c<n><m> command moves the actuator 500 steps. Subsequently it is moved back to the home
position.
