«Institute EKST “stakes on serial production and therefore pays special attention to development of dealer net in territory of Russia, near and far abroad. Mutually profitable relations were set with the partners, capable not only to carry out active marketing, but also supply customers with technical support on promotion and setting in operation of EKST marking printers. It means that it is possible not only to buy a marking printer in more than 20 cities ,but also to receive modern qualified maintenance.

For today the dealer net of “EKST” stretches from Baltic countries to China, enveloping a lot of regions in Russia and far abroad.

“Institute EKST” will be glad to see all those who would like to buy markers and make suggestion on dealer net widening.

1. There is program “EKST002A.exe” and files necessary for its operation in this folder. User manual “manual1.pdf” is in this folder as well.

    The program allows:
  • to create and edit the contents of the current (active) mark
  • to save the mark in printer memory
  • to retrieve (make active) from the printer memory any previously saved mark
  • to keep in printer memory graphic symbols of the User(logotypes)
  • to retrieve graphic symbols (logotypes) of the User from the memory and save them on hard disc of computer
  • to adjust modes of mark printing (tumbling, autorepeat, group print)
  • to overview full graphic contents of the mark (which will be printed)
  • to overview and adjust printing parameters

The program does not require installation and can be started directly from CD-disc.

2. There is program “EKST_006FB_Auto.exe” and User manual “ekst007fb_auto.pdf”

This program is an advanced version of basic program “EKST002A.exe”. The main feature of the program “EKST002A.exe” is support of external device “Flashbox” (“EKST” production).

The program does not require installation and can be started directly from CD-disc.

3. There are programs “SigGen02.exe” , “SigComm.exe” , a standard (basic) file “Standard.bin” of symbolgenerator weaving as well as a short User manual (file ”Program FontGen.pdf”description ) in this folder.

The program “SigGen02.exe” is intended for creating and editing fonts used in EKST printers directly by end-users.

The program “SigComm.exe” makes it possible to load the set of fonts into the printer from beforehand prepared symbol generator weaving file. It also makes possible to read from the printer and save on hard disc of computer the current set of fonts.

The program does not require installation and can be started directly from CD-disc.

Programs for additional devices

Multiplexor

Programs for additional devices Has been developed and prepared for production a new device –working name “Multiplexor”(number for ordering 41011). Its dimensions are 120x140x35 mm

Its function:

  • Makes it possible to connect up to 6 EKST printers to the computer via 1 port (USB or RS-232).
  • Makes it possible to ensure permanent and independent from each other printing of information by each of connected printers simultaneously from the file in format “MS- Excel”.

Program “EKST_008MX”

The program is intended for independent control of printing containing different information by EKST printers (from 2 to 6) via “Multiplexor” device.

The program takes information from “MS-Excel” file and loads text lines from corresponding column of this file into each printer. The fitment of number of the printer and the column from the file is set by the operator manually.

Note: It is also possible to load each printer with a separate file!

Program “EKST_008MX” was developed and tested for joint operation with MS-Excel from the “Office XP” package under WinXP control

The program operates only with printers of firm “EKST” production with connected to it “Multiplexor” device of “EKST” production.

    The program allows to perform choosing of the following parameters:
  • choosing of necessary column from “MS-Excel” file
  • choosing of the initial and final line to be printed (inside the chosen column).
  • choosing of fragment number (inside the mark), where loading of the next file line will be performed.
  • permission/ prohibition of continuous printing mode(without external sensor)

EKST _008MX.exe(1,6MB)

SYNCHRONIZER

The printer ”EKST-Graphics“ can be equipped with an additional unit ”Synchronizer”.

The unit is installed into a special connector inside the case and does not require replacement of other units.

Variant 2-for control unit ”DN4233” (order number-41013)

  • the ”Synchronizer” makes it possible to control signal delay within the range 0-999 999cycles (of external or internal tachosensor )with 1 cycle discreteness.
  • to control additionally prescaler of cycle signal within the range 0-64999, which makes it possible to increase the range of photosensor signal delay up to 60 000 000 cycles (with corresponding control discreteness increase)
  • to control photosensor signal delay for compensation of big unevenness of speed of object movement(correction during fight of the drop)
  • to perform autostart of printing with 2-100 000 000 000 period with photosensor signal strobbing.
  • to perform start of marks package printing(with regulated number of marks in the package ) by means of photosensor signal.
  • to filter the product’s sensor signal to eliminate false positives due to noise

    Synchronizer control

    To enter the “Synchronizer” editor press +, with that the standard mode of autorepeat of the marker (Del+A 0 is switched off automatically while it is necessary to to zeroize the standard delay (Ins+D) manually. Changing of edited line is performed by means of arrows “up”, “down”

    Mode ( choice of mode by arrows ”right”, “left”)

    • “Norm print”- mode with controlled photosensor signal delay
    • “Autoprint”-mode of print autostart with controlled print start period
    • Start of package”-mode of autoprint start by external signal with controlled period and number of marks in the package

    In order to change the following parameters it is necessary to use digital keyboard or, to choose the corrected order by means of buttons “right”, “left” and further correct its value by means of buttons <+>,<->.

    Divider-sets the number of impulses(of external or internal tachosensor), ignored (transmitted without reaction) per one synchronization impulse . ( I.e. “0” means, that all the impulses synchronize the delay,”1”- every second impulse is used in sequence of impulses and so on)

    Delay (for standard print mode)-is the value of controlled photosensor signal delay in synchronization impulses

    Distance (for standard print mode)-is the parameter corresponding to the distance of print head to the object ,which makes possible to take into consideration the time of drop flight when the speed of movement of objects is irregular. It is necessary to carry out the following actions in order to adjust it:

  • to enter the value of parameter ”Distance” “0” and perform print adjustment with maximal possible speed of object movement.
  • to set minimal speed of movement and enter such value of parameter ”Delay”, that printing be performed in the same area as in the previous item.
  • to set maximal speed of movement and by means of increasing values of parameter ”Distance”, reach the printing be performed in the same area as at the minimal speed.
  • Period (for autoprint and package)-controlled period of print autostart measured in synchronization impulses.

    Offset (for autoprint and package modes)-controlled interval before print autostart, measured in synchronization impulses.

    Number (for package mode)- number of marks , printed after start impulse

    Filter – controlled parameter for filtering of photosensor signal

    “USB –COM adapter”

    The device is connected between the external connector “RS-232”of EKST printer and USB port of external device (computer)

    The device is intended for ensuring connection between the EKST printer and external device (computer) by means of USB-1.2 channel. Such necessity arises in case of unavailability of free COM port of the computer. The delivery set of “USB-COM adapter” comprises drivers of FTDI firm.

The given model (further- Keyboard is fully (in electrical components and in soft ware ) compatible with all EKST printers produced after year 2009 and can be adjusted to any User language without changing the program( with that by the User himself).

    Keyboard with sensor

    display

    The keyboard allows:

    • visually and in full reflect information on current state of the printer
    • to correct technical parameters of the printer easily and to edit contents of the loaded mark
    • to load the symbolgenerator table into the keyboard and to form sensor button zone , reflecting real image of all the symbols included into the table (among them the symbols designed by the User-any alphabets, characters, signs and so on).
    • to choose the font not only by its number, but also by its name
    • to edit by means of graphic redactor on PC and to load to the keyboard(without changing the main program) the file with pictures of text messages (it is possible to load by the User 2 additional sets of messages in addition to the installed sets in Russian and English languages.
    • Drawing1. Keyboard panel

      The keyboard is executed on the base of standard keyboard of EKST printers and has three zones:

    • light emission diodes zone
    • key field
    • TFT display zone

    Light emission diodes zone contains a standard set of light diodes of EKST printers and control buttons for switching on/off the printer, the jet, high voltage.

    Key field is intended for entering values of digital parameters of the printer.

    TFT screen has a sensor panel and reflects all the parameters and control buttons(It is necessary to touch slightly the button in order to activate it)
