3.2 Control Unit

The control unit consists of the following (see Figure 3.2):

. Control circuit
. operator panel
. Hammer magnet driver (with the register unit only for

. Power supply

Control circuit

The control circuit is on one PC board and is installed in the maintenance

section,

which can be accessed by opening the forms rack at the rear of

the printer.

The control circuit uses 2 microprocessors;

one for interface control and

the other for printer control.

The LSI for print control reduces the number of parts and improves

reliability.

Operator panel

The operator panel is located at the upper front of the printer.

Control

switches and indicator lamps on the operator panel

on a PC board.

Hammer magnet driver

The hammer magnet driver for the 136 magnets is on one PC board. In

M3041, M3042, it is installed on the rear of the print unit and is

connected directly to the magnet assembly on the PC board.

In M3043, the

hammer magnet driver is installed near the control circuit board and the

lead from the magnet assembly is connected to the hammer magnet driver

through the register unit.

A simple circuit is achieved by using custom

and a transistor array,

enabling easy detection of faulty columns.

Power supply

The power supply consists of the supply unit and a transformer.

The transformer is connected to an AC input through a line filter and a

circuit breaker.

Input voltages of 100 to 240 V can be selected by

switching the appropriate tap on the transformer.

The power supply unit has regulation circuits for logic circuits and
hammer magnet driving, a forms feed stepper motor drive circuit, and
control relays

for the AC motor.
