CHAPTER 7 FOREIGN MACHINE INTERFACE
INTRODUCTION The Foreign Machine Interface (FMI) is an electrical means of communication
between the DEK machine and an adjacent machine/conveyor, using electrical
signals. The signals are transferred using opto-couplers and/or solid state
relays which keep the machines electrically isolated.
The DEK machine can interface with many different types of adjacent machine.
The FMI manages the movement of boards being transferred between the
machines ensuring a constant flow is maintained. There are two different types
of interface available for the DEK machine:
• An FMI Pod for SMEMA, Fuji or Panasonic protocols
• A Multi-Interface Unit (MIU) for all other protocols
The FMI Pod and the MIU are supplied with the following cables:
• An FMI loom which connects the FMI port on the machine controller, to the
MIU or FMI Pod
• Two interface cables, one cable for each adjacent machine
The adjacent machine/conveyor can be in the following configurations:

FMI POD The FMI Pod is only used where both the upline and downline is using SMEMA,
Fuji or Panasonic interfaces. For all other interfaces refer to the MIU interface
later in this chapter.
The DEK FMI Pod, located on the external services panel at the rear of the
machine, is a communications interface that allows DEK Printing Machines to
communicate with upline and downline board handlers.
NOTE
The FMI Pod is located at the front of Type 4 machines and accessed by
removing the front panel.
