Scenarios:

The following scenarios describe the SECS II activity associated with the Establish

Communication capability.

Host attempts to establish communications:

Comments Host Equipment Comments

Establish Communications Request

S1F13 -->

<-- S1F14

Communications state is enabled.

(any sub-state)

Reply COMMACK = Accept and

Communications state = COMMUNICATING.

Equipment attempts to establish communications:

Comments Host Equipment Comments

Reply COMMACK = Accept

S1F14 -->

<-- S1F13

Communications state is enabled

(any sub-state).

Communications state = COMMUNICATING.

Establish Communications Request.

Communications state = COMMUNICATING.

Scenarios (continued):

Simultaneous attempts to establish communications:

Comments Host Equipment Comments

Host tries to establish

communications at same time.

S1F13 -->

S1F14 -->

<-- S1F13

<-- S1F14

[while] CRA not received send and wait.

[exit while]

Communicating state.

Host should reply anyway to avoid timeout.

State is still communicating.

5.1.2 GEM communication Status

Printer module displays ‘Host Comms’ status on main screen. When GEM connection status

changed on printer, new status updated on main screen. Current status options are Disabled/

Enabled-No Comm/ Enabled-Comm.

When COMMS PROTOCOL preference value is set to NO COMMS.

Host Comms status will be “Disabled”.

When COMMS PROTOCOL preference value is set to GEM:

When No GEM enabled on printer:

Host Comms status will be “Disabled”.

When GEM enabled on printer:

When no communication established

Host Comms status will be “Enabled No Comm”

When Communication established with EQUIPMENT CONTROL “Equip Off-Line”.

Host Comms status will be “Enabled Off-Line”

When Communication established with EQUIPMENT CONTROL “Equip On-Line”.

When ON-LINE CONTROL set to LOCAL

Host Comms status will be “Enabled On-line Local”

When ON-LINE CONTROL set to REMOTE

Host Comms status will be “Enabled On-line Remote”

5.2 Data Collection

5.2.1 Event Reports

This capability enables the host to receive machine variable data when specific events

occur within the equipment. The host can control which events will cause a report to be

sent and which data items to include in a report (dynamic event configuration).

In addition, the operator can control which specific events are to be written to the

equipment’s local event log. The operator can also view the events enabled by the host.

Appendix B shows the operator procedures to achieve this.

The following outlines the steps that must be taken by the host system in order to cause

an event report to be sent. See chapter 5 for details of SECS II messages referred to as
