Introduction The UP-600/UP-700 inter-register communication (IRC) system consists of one master machine and up to 63 satellite machines which are all interconnected by the local area network (LAN) to provide data transmission among them. This system allows the manager to exercise centralized control over the satellites through the master. Local Area Network (LAN) Master Satellite Satellite Max. 63 satellites • One of the satellites may be used as a back-up master.
1 Inline Operation 1. Message display (1) The message displayed during inline communications 1) The message shown below is displayed at the master when engaged in IRC transmissions. ex.: SENDING DATA NOTE The above message is also displayed at the satellite which is engaged in system resetting transmission. 2) The machine number of the satellite that is communicating with the master is instantaneously displayed at the master during IRC transmissions.
(2) Error messages When an error occurs, a corresponding error message is displayed. For a description of the error messages, see the “List of error messages” below. List of error messages Error message (Default) BUSY LACKING MEMORY NO AUTHORITY UNDEFINED CODE CODE NOT FREE POWER OFF T-LOG FULL NON RESET TYPE ERROR SYSTEM CLOSED IS SIGNED ON NO REPLY/MASTER NO REPLY/BACKUP ATTEMPT RETRY? Description • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • The target machine is busy.
2. Open store operation (PGM2 mode) — master and satellite When the open store operation is performed at the master, the IRC system is opened and the registration function becomes available at all the machines in the IRC system.
3. Close store operation (PGM2 mode) — master and satellite When the close store operation is performed at the master, the inline system is closed and the registration function becomes unavailable at all the machines in the inline system. It should be noted that for the close store operation, all the satellites must be in their SIGN-OFF state. After this operation, the communications between the master and satellites which have been enabled with the open store operation are disabled.
4. Sign-on operation (server assignment) (REG mode/MGR mode) The sign-on operation is intended to assign a server to a machine (satellite or the master) and enable him or her to perform entry operations at the machine. If a server successfully signs on at a machine, his or her server number appears on the LCD of the machine. The server memory is under the control of the master. The sign-on operation can be done whether the machine is in the open store or close store state.
5. Server sign-on report A server sign-on report can be generated at the master. This report is used to determine which terminal each server has signed on. Report generation procedure 1. Turn the mode switch to the PGM2 position. 2. Select “INLINE READING” from the PGM2 mode menu and press the [ENTER] key. 3. Select “SIGN ON SERVER” from the INLINE READING menu and press the [ENTER] key. In the case of the UP-700: Server name, server code, machine no.
6. Sign-off operation (cancellation of server assignment) (REG mode/MGR mode) The sign-off operation is intended to cancel the assignment of a server to a machine. The sign-off operation at a machine (master or satellite) can be done only for the servers who have signed on at the machine and are not in the middle of a registration entry. Sign-off procedure Keyboard entry sequence (REG/MGR/X1/Z1/X2/Z2/PGM1/PGM2 modes) [SERV#] NOTE • The sign-off operation only applies to the server who has signed on.
7. Look-up and updating of the GLU/PBLU file In the IRC system, the following two types of GLU/PBLU file allocation system are available: a centralized system and an individual system. (1) Centralized GLU/PBLU file system In this system, the GLU/PBLU file exists only in the master. All satellites in the IRC system can access the GLU/PBLU file in the master for registration.
9. PLU/UPC data control In the IRC system, PLU/UPC sales data is centrally controlled by the master. PLU/UPC data which is temporarily stored in the T-LOG buffer of a satellite is sent to the master by T-LOG polling. (For further information on T-LOG polling, see page 14.) NOTE The learning function enables the operator at a satellite to set the unit price, associated department and deletion/non-deletion attributes for an item whose code is undefined in the PLU/UPC file.
10. Price change function When a price for the UPC item is changed at a machine (master or satellite), its PLU/UPC main file or dynamic PLU/UPC file is updated by the new price data (unit price and associated department). The new data is then automatically distributed to all other machines to update the PLU/UPC main files or dynamic PLU/UPC files which contain the code of the item. The data on an UPC item whose price has been changed at a satellite is also stored in the TLOG buffer of the satellite.
12. T-LOG polling All REG-mode transaction data in each satellite is saved in its T-LOG buffer. T-LOG polling is a data collection system in which the master collects data from the T-LOG buffers of the satellites. T-LOG polling becomes available upon the open-store operation and becomes unavailable upon close store operation. A request for T-LOG polling is issued from the satellite to the master when the number of data records in its T-LOG buffer exceeds a predetermined number while in the open store state.
13. Communication with a remote printer (optional) When a remote printer is included in the inline system, order data is output to the remote printer according to its preset data regarding the remote printer assignment. The remote printer is used to print all or part of the data entered at a machine. It is also called a kitchen printer. The remote printer can also be operated at a location other than the kitchen.
(2) Remote printer send function This function allows partial food orders to be sent to the remote printers. Which printer to receive the order is selectable. The function is intended to allow the cooking staff to begin preparing certain items before the entire order is given. *Case 1) (Item entry) NK **Case 2) NK: 1-9 SEND ORDER *Case 1) A partial food order is sent to one or several remote printers which has been specified by the department/PLU programming.
14. Rerouting print data The UP-600 and UP-700 terminals may reroute specific print data to an external printer connected to any terminal on the LAN by an RS-232 cable and can be shared by multiple UP600/UP-700 terminals.

4 System Back-Up 1. How the IRC back-up system works The IRC system incorporates a back-up system. One of the satellites can be designated to serve as a back-up master. When both the master and back-up master are in order, the system works in the following sequence: (1) Each satellite sends updated GLU/PBLU data to the master. (2) The master receives the data, processes it and sends it back to the satellite. (3) The satellite sends the updated data to the back-up master.
2. Master declaration — when the master or back-up master breaks down When the master or back-up master breaks down, the master declaration procedure should be performed to inform satellites of the breakdown. (1) When the master breaks down — Master declaration at the back-up master 1) A satellite detects a breakdown of the master through the system retry function when it is sending updated GLU/PBLU data to the master.
The master declaration procedure is as follows: 1. Turn the mode switch to the PGM2 position. 2. Select “DECLARATION” and press the [ENTER] key. 3. Select “MASTER DECLARE” and press the [ENTER] key.
(2) When the back-up master breaks down — Master declaration at the master 1) A satellite detects a breakdown of the back-up master through the system retry function when it is sending updated GLU/PBLU data to both the master and back-up master. At this point, the message “NO REPLY/BACKUP” appears in the pop-up window of the display. NO REPLY/BACKUP 2) The master declaration operation must be performed at the master.
3. Recovery declaration — when the master or back-up master recovers from a breakdown When the master or back-up master recovers from a breakdown, the recovery declaration operation should be taken to inform satellites of the recovery. (1) When the master recovers from a breakdown — Recovery declaration at the back-up master 1) The recovery declaration operation is done at the back-up master. 2) Each satellite stops sending updated GLU/PBLU data to the back-up master.
The recovery declaration procedure is as follows: 1. Turn the mode switch to the PGM2 position. 2. Select “DECLARATION” and press the [ENTER] key. 3. Select “RECOVER DECLARE” and press the [ENTER] key.
(2) When the back-up master recovers from a breakdown — Recovery declaration at the master 1) The recovery declaration operation is done at the master. 2) Each satellite stops sending updated GLU/PBLU data to the master temporarily. 3) The master sends the updated GLU/PBLU data files to the back-up master. 4) The master informs all satellites of the back-up master’s recovery. 5) The satellites restart sending updated GLU/PBLU data to the back-up master and master.
5 Error Recovery 1. Data clear operation With the data clear operation, you can clear various item memories when necessary. This operation should be done only when the master or system breaks down. (1) Data clearing of the T-LOG buffer — master and satellite You can clear the T-LOG buffer in the event there is some trouble and the terminal’s memory requires clearing. This function is available at the master and satellites. Clearing procedure 1. Turn the mode switch to the PGM2 position. 2.
(2) Data clearing of the capture data — master and satellite Clearing procedure After selecting “DATA CLEAR” from the PGM2 mode menu with the same procedure as steps 1 and 2 in “(1) Data clearing of the T-LOG buffer,” select “CAPTURE DATA”. (3) Data clearing of the transaction memory — master and satellite You can clear the transaction memory in the event there is some trouble and the terminal’s memory requires clearing. This function is available at the master and satellites.
(6) Data clearing of the server sign-on state — master You can clear the master’s server sign-on status flags in case of trouble. This operation is effective only for the sign-on flag for servers who have remained signed on at the master. Clearing procedure After selecting “DATA CLEAR” from the PGM2 mode menu with the same procedure as steps 1 and 2 in “(1) Data clearing of the T-LOG buffer,” select “SIGN ON FLAG.
2. System retry function If a satellite terminates a transmission job unsuccessfully, the master either terminates the job immediately or awaits a command given through the keyboard, depending on whether the system retry function is disabled or enabled. When the system retry function is enabled, the master awaits the entry of a command and retries access depending on the command as explained below.
A) RETRY command (selection from the menu or press of the 1 key) B) ABORT command (selection from the menu or press of the 2 key) C) IGNORE command (selection from the menu or press of the 3 key) (* If there is only RETRY and IGNORE on the menu, press the 2 key.) A) RETRY command: When RETRY is selected, the master attempts a RETRY to the satellite; however, it does not retry when, due to the type of error (for example, command error), it is obvious that the RETRY will fail.
