Section 2. EVENT LOGGING (Connector J8)
Event Logging Printer
Connections
UL NOTE: A UL Listed EDP
printer must be used for UL
installations.
Connector J8, located above connector J7 on the right side of the main PC board,
is intended to be interfaced to a local serial printer via the 4100SM serial interface
module, in applications where it is desired to print the event log on a local printer.
Mount the 4100SM using its clip bracket to attach it to the side wall of the control
cabinet. Make connections between J8, the 4100SM module and the serial printer
as shown below. Refer to the event logging commands paragraph for a
description of the console commands which initiate event log printing.
NOTE 1: Printer must be configured as follows:
• 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
• 300 or 1200 baud (1200 preferred)
• Hardware handshaking using DTR signal
NOTE 2: The 4100SM module is supplied with a 10 foot RS232 cable. A longer
cable or an extension cable can be used if the 4140XMPT2 and serial printer are
separated by more than 10 feet, but the total cable length should be less than 50'.
NOTE 3: Most printers either ignore the CTS, DSR and CD signals, or require them
to be high (i.e. 3-15VDC as measured on RS232 DB25 connector pins 5, 6 & 8
respectively with respect to ground pin 7). The 4100SM module sets these pins
high. If the printer being used will not operate with these pins high, then clip the
blue (CTS), white (DSR) or red (CD) jumpers on the 4100SM module to set the
corresponding signal floating. Important pins on the RS232C cable are pin 3 (data
out), pin 7 (ground) and pin 20 (DTR - ready).
NOTE 4: The DTR signal, as measured at 4100SM TB1, should be high (9.5-
14VDC) when the printer is powered, properly connected, on-line and ready to
print. This signal will be low (0-1.5VDC) when the printer is not powered, not
properly connected, off-line or out of paper. The 4140XMPT2 will not send
printing data to the printer unless the DTR signal is high.
