23. Industrial Interface Board
23.1 Description
The Industrial Interface Board adds one serial communication port
and one connector with four IN and four OUT ports to the standard
serial communication port "uart1:".
The purpose of this board is primarily to provide an interface
between the printer and various types of external equipment, like
gates, transporters, wrappers, etc. The input and output signals can
be read by means of the Intermec Fingerprint function PORTIN
and output signals can be controlled by PORTOUT ON/OFF state-
ments.
The Industrial Interface Board can either be bought separately as a
kit complete with installation instructions, or be factory installed.
With the Industrial Interface Board installed, the following means
of communication becomes available:
"uart1:" Fitted as standard on the printer’s CPU board.
RS 232C Standard.
RS 422 or 20 mA CL Option. Additional circuits required.
"uart3:" Fitted on the Industrial interface pcb.
