COMMUNICATIONS APPLICATIONS
–27–
In multiple Gemini hookups, the
“+20 mA SRC”
terminal of two Geminis provide
the 20 mA source current for both the Serial Input loop and Serial Output loop. When
more than one unit is connected to a printer, only one Gemini can transmit data at any
given time. If another Print Request terminal is activated while the printer is still
printing, two Geminis will transmit to the one printer at the same time, resulting in a
“garbled”
print-out.
In both configurations, the Baud rate switches of the Gemini
(s)
are to be set to 1200
baud. Refer to
“Current Loop Installation”
section to set up the Baud Rate, Print
Options, and Unit Address. The DMPC printer has been factory set to operate with the
Gemini 2000 and does not require any set-up.
CONNECTING TO AN RLC PRINTER
One or several Gemini 2000s
(with Serial Communications
option)
can be set up to operate with an RLC Model DMPC
printer. The two applications show the wiring diagrams for single
and multiple Gemini hookups to the printer. Both loops
(transmit
and receive)
are used with the Model DMPC printer. The printer
sends a busy signal on the Gemini’s receive loop, which prevents
the Gemini from overrunning the printer. In the single Gemini
hookup, the
“DC OUT”
terminal, current limited with a 680 ohm
resistor
(provided with the printer)
, is used to obtain the source
current for the Gemini Serial Output loop. The Gemini’s
“+20 mA
SRC”
terminal provides the current for the Serial Input Loop.
