This connector allows to communicate with the machine. It contains
dedicated All-or-Nothing Inputs and Outputs. They are used in the
marking cycle. 9 6
Use exclusively shielded cable. Connect the shielding to the electrical ground on
either side of the cable.

Note
In the diagram above, the Inputs are wired to the internal power supply, available on the connector of the CCU
(+ 24 V DC). The "Marking in progress", "Machine ready" and "Fault" Outputs are wired to an external power
supply.
Note
The 7 pin is common to the "Fault" information and to "Machine ready". See: Connection diagram for the dedi-
cated Inputs / Outputs
Launch a "Start cycle" Close the dry contact between pins 4 and 5.
Stop the cycle Open the dry contact (usually closed) between pins 9 and 5.
Remarks
• Pause:
Whatever the mode selected: when marking is interrupted, the "Marking ready" signal returns to phase 1. Other
signals are not modified.
• Fault:
Whatever the mode selected: if failure occurs (origin or EM machine temperature failures), the "Fault" signal goes
to phase 1. The other signals return to phase 0 until operator acknowledgement.

They are divided into 2 groups. Each group has its own negative reference (pins 6 and 19), and must be wired to
the desired potential.
It is possible to control the Inputs with the + 24 V internal voltage available on pins 1 and 14, and referenced Gnd
on pins 7-10-20-23.
Note
The + 24 V internal voltage (pins 1 and 14) is not protected from short-circuits.
The current delivered by the + 24 V voltage (pins 1 and 14) should not exceed 300 mA.

Internal connections
The maximum external power supply for the Outputs is 24 volts (continuous current).
The Outputs are not protected against polarity inversion and over current. When
connecting inductive charges use an anti-parasite protection and a free-wheel diode
to avoid damaging the Outputs.
Remarks
• The + 24 V internal voltage (pins 1 and 14) is not protected from short-circuits.
• The current delivered by the + 24 V voltage (pins 1 and 14) should not exceed 300 mA.
Internal connections
4. USB-A key
This connector allows to connect a USB key for:
Remarks
Never remove the key during a transfer between the CCU and the key. Doing so may
destroy the files or the key.
If the CCU is placed on a table or a workbench, imperatively mount the feet before the
power up.
The feet provide clearance for the air passages under the CCU.
The different elements of the equipment must be connected with the power off. The power supply should
be connected last.
It must be connected to the dedicated Inputs/Outputs connector located on the right side of the CCU.
The connector supplied is only used to test the machine. Under normal operating conditions, open the electrical
connection between pins 5 and 9 to activate the "Stop marking" function. If this connection is not performed, the
Stop function is active and no marking is possible.
3. Keyboard connection
Connect the connecting plug to the female DIN connector located on the CCU’s front panel.
If the CCU is placed on a table or a workbench, imperatively mount the feet before the
power up.
The feet provide clearance for the air passages under the CCU.
Screw the supporting feet to the underside of the CCU, and check that they are secure.
The back panel of the CCU has 4 mounting holes. A screw is already attached in one of these holes.
Always leave a gap of 3 cm (1.181 in) above the CCU’s cooling fan.

2. What to do if...
The screen on the front panel of Is the power supply switched on? See: Power supply connection
the CCU does not light up. Is the cable properly connected?
Is the On/Off switch in the On position?
Check the condition of the fuse. See: Changing the fuse
