2.1 THEORY OF OPERATION Section 2.1.1 describes the general theory of operation for the PA/4000 Label Printer Applicator. Sections 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 go into a detailed explanation of the Mechanical and Electrical components that make up the PA/4000. 2.1.
HOME STAGE During this stage of the Print and Apply Cycle: • • • The tamp cylinder is in the home position with a printed label on the tamp pad. Vacuum is ON. The Product Delay counter begins to count when the passing box trips the photocell. EXTENSION STAGE During this stage of the Print and Apply Cycle: • • The tamp cylinder extends when the Product Delay counter reaches zero. The Applicator Board generates a pulse to backfeed the next label.
2.1.2 PA/4000 MECHANICAL THEORY OF OPERATION PA/4000 STAND The PA/4000 operates in a variety of positions to allow for greater flexibility. The yoke assembly rotates about the stand by loosening the center bolt that fastens the yoke to the stand and re-tightening when in the desired position. The main unit rotates within the yoke assembly by loosening the 2 end bolts and re-tightening when in the desired position. Thus, labels can be applied on the top of a box or on the side of a box.
PA/4000 AIR FILTER ASSEMBLY The air filter assembly connects directly to factory air and filters out impurities and moisture. The assembly mounts to the lower rear part of the stand . PA/4000 HAND-HELD TERMINAL The Hand-Held Terminal is used to access the Menu Select Items that control various attributes of the PA/4000. The Hand-Held Terminal connects to the electrical box of the main unit and can be stored on a holster which attaches to the yoke.
The Applicator Board controls the tamp valve, the air assist valve, and the vacuum valve through the J1 connector. The J1 connector has 24.0 Vdc supplied to pins 1, 3, and 5. The Applicator Board actuates the cylinder by providing a ground path on pin 2. Likewise the Applicator Board actuates the air assist on J1 pin 4 and it controls the vacuum on the tamp pad through J1 pin 6. The Applicator Board also provides the signals to the Paper Edge Sensor (6105-046) through the J2 connector.
signals from the Prodigy Plus Board on pins 2 and 3 of the J8 connector. The Applicator to Prodigy Ribbon Cable Assembly (6105-058) must be connected to the J8 connector for the PA/4000 to operate correctly. The Applicator Board communicates to the Connector Board (6105-138) and the Hand-Held Terminal (6105-260) through the P1 connector. It receives signals from the Present sensor, the Auto-Retract Sensor, and the Cylinder Home sensor on this connector.
The J4 connector is also a DB9 female style connector. The Warning Tower Assembly (6105-271) is connected to the J4 connector. Pin 6 is connected directly to Analog ground (AGND). Pin 7 of the J4 connector is the output signal for the Green beacon in the Warning Tower Assembly. When the light is on, the voltage on pin 7 is at 24.0 Vdc. When the light is off, the voltage on pin 7 will be less than 0.5 Vdc. Pin 5 of the J4 connector is the output signal for the Yellow beacon in the Warning Tower Assembly.
Plus board and the Applicator Board. The assembly contains a linear regulator, mounted to a heat sink, that provides the Applicator Board with 24 Vdc. The J1 connector, on the Regulator Assembly, is connected to the J10 connector on the Prodigy Plus board through the Power cable (6105-272). Pin 1, on the J1 connector, is connected to digital ground (DGND). Pin 2 is connected directly to 5.0 Vdc.
A B C H J8 F G E D Figure 2-2 Starting clockwise: U13 and U12 are the RS-232C and RS-422 line drivers. In the event that these chips may be damaged by high voltage spikes or misuse, either chip may be replaced to return the PA/4000 to normal communications with the host device. The outputs of these two chips connect to other circuitry in a way that the desired interface is enabled by the connection of wires to the pins on J2.
U7 through U11, and U23 are the IC’s that control the operation of all the memory modules. U6 supplyís the voltage used to program the flash module. U7 & U8 buffers the addressing of the modules. U9 buffers the data bytes. The other IC's primarily control what modules are selected or what function is being done. J4 - Cutter Signal Output The remaining connector on the control board is J4. It has voltage and one control line available that provides a signal for a media cutter.
The stepper motor is a 6V DC stepper motor designed to pull media through the PA/4000. If problems occur that you feel are related to the stepper motor, first check for a jam in the PA/4000 on both the media side and the mechanical drive side of the PA/4000 center plate. The motor is connected to the control board at J9. U26, which is not easily replaced, contains the drive transistors for the stepper motor.
NOTE: Turning OFF the Transfer Menu Select Item using the Hand-Held Terminal, disables the Ribbon Out Sensor. When the ribbon runs out, the sensor sends a signal to the applicator board. The applicator board will: • light the red light on the Warning Tower. • Causing the yellow Ribbon LED and the red Error LED to flash. The display will read “Ribbon Out.” MEMORY MODULE Although the cable and mounting hardware for the MEMORY MODULE, are standard, the MODULES themselves are OPTIONAL.
