AH500 Application

Data I/O’s Automated Handler software is a Microsoft

Win-

dows

-based application for setting up and programming microchips

(devices) on PS Systems. It offers a selection of many PS System

options such as input/output configurations, labeling options, and

statistical feedback methods. The AH500 resides in the Handler Com-

puter.

For updates to AH500 Software see PS Series Firmware Download on

our Web site under the SUPPORT tab.

Figure 1-12: AH500 Start-up Window. The Serialization button only

appears if Serialization was selected in TaskLink for this particular job.

(PS388 shown.)

Laser Software

The Laser software is a Windows

-based application that allows cre-

ating parameters required for laser marking jobs as well as initiating

laser marking. In some PS models, the software resides on the Laser

Computer located in the Option Bay. In other models, the software is

in the Handler computer.

Note: The touch screen does not work while in Laser Computer

mode.

When the Laser Marking System is set up and initialized, it receives

commands from the AH500 which starts the marking sequence.

The presence of some

features are deter-

mined by the

winAH400.ini file.

For more information

about the Laser Sys-

tem, see Setting Up the

Laser Marking System on

page 2-27 and

(Optional) Creating a

Laser Marking File on

page 3-62.

Precautions for Safe Operation

The PS Machine has many safety features designed to make the

system safe and efficient to operate. The system can be dangerous if

the safety precautions and features are ignored.

Precaution List

To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the equipment,

observe the following practices:

General Precautions

 Do not use the PS System for any purpose other than its

intended use.

 Do not operate the system if the safety shields are not in their

normal operating positions.

 Do not operate the system when any of the cabinet panels (sheet

metal) are removed.

 Do not operate the PS System unless you have been thoroughly

trained and have read and understand the instructions in this

manual, particularly those that describe the system’s safety fea-

tures (Safety Systems on page 1-4).

 Do not disable or attempt to defeat any of the safety features of

this system. Serious personal injury and equipment damage can

occur if any safety systems are disabled. If you suspect that a

safety feature of the system is damaged or malfunctioning, stop

using the PS System immediately and contact your local

Data I/O Support representative.

 Do not place any part of your body near or in the direct path of

moving parts.

Repair Precautions

 Only qualified personnel trained by Data I/O should install,

maintain, repair, or troubleshoot the PS Systems.

 Do not operate a system while servicing, replacing, or adjusting

any component unless directed to do so in this manual. Make

sure that the system is properly shut down before servicing,

replacing components, or adjusting components.

 Disconnect the external air before servicing pneumatic parts.

Optional Media and Equipment Precautions

 Use extra caution when using the tape input media (feeder), the

tape output media, or the device marking option. The

PS System safety shields do not cover or fully enclose these

modules. It is possible that hands, body parts, or loose clothing

could get caught or pinched in these mechanisms.

 Read and heed the laser vacuum filter disposal requirements

described later in this section (Laser Safety on page 1-24). Always

dispose of any other hazardous or residual by-products of the

production process in accordance with governing laws and reg-

ulations.

WARNING:

Pinch hazard.

The E-Stop

does not shut

off air. On

PS588 only,

Socket Actua-

tors can still

move down

when an

E-Stop is

pushed— and

even when

Safety shields,

are open.

Use caution.
