2. Notes on ARCNET
2.1. Installation of ARCNET Cable

• The ARCNET cables must be installed in a cable duct that is separated from the heavy current cables
(lines for activation of motors, etc.; cables with supply voltages). A minimum distance of 30 cm must be
thereby maintained.
• The shield (outside line of the cable and blank on the plug connectors and t-pieces) may not be connected
with PE potential; that is, the resistance from the outside line to the PE connection must be > 1kΩ Ω.
2.2. Shortening of ARCNET Cables

• Due to local conditions, the placement locations for the control console, switch cabinet and accessories
at the end customer frequently deviate from the planned placement location. In addition, there are
differing cable paths. The result is frequently ARCNET cables that are too long, which must then be
bound together into rings or concealed in the cable ducts with small bend radiuses, causing potential
sources for malfunctions on the press ARCNET.
In the case that the ARCNET cables are more than 1.5 m longer than the concrete placement variant
requires, the ARCNET cables must be shortened to the correct dimension on the control console
side using the crimping pliers in the assembly case. Ensure proper assembly of the new plugs that
are enclosed in the consumables package.
2.3. Functionality of the ARCNET Hub

• An active hub is used.
• The ARCNET hub works as a power amplifier for the data network and thus enables operation with more
than 8 participants (nodes).
• A maximum of 8 participants can be connected per ARCNET strand without an ARCNET hub.
• All ARCNET cables must be connected directly without t-piece and without terminating resistor to the
ARCNET hub.
• Each strand must be terminated on the side opposite the ARCNET hub with a 93 Ω resistor in order to
prevent reflections on the ARCNET cables.
• During network operation without ARCNET hub for test purposes, both sides of the ARCNET cable must
be terminated with a 93 Ω terminating resistor.
• In this case it must be ensured that a max. of 8 participants are connected to the data network.
2.4. Assembly of the 93-Ohm Terminating Resistor
2.4.1. Circuit boards with a BNC Bushing
93 Ohm terminating resistor

2.4.2. Circuit Boards with Two BNC Bushings
93 Ohm terminating resistor
2.5. Network Analysis
2.5.1. Status Reconfiguration

• Each participant in the network independently links itself into the network following connection of the
supply voltage and start-up of its program and thereby triggers a network reconfiguration. The
reconfiguration is recognizable when the LED on the ARCNET card of the PC briefly goes out and then
blinks.
• Upon deactivation of a node by removing the supply voltage, the network continues to function for the
other network participants after the reconfiguration.
• If an ARCNET node cannot establish a network link with at least one other ARCNET node, cyclical
reconfigurations permanently occur on this node. The reconfigurations lead to cyclical blinking of the
control LED.
2.5.2. Indicator Functions on the PC's ARCNET Cards

• There are functionally compatible ARCNET cards with one or two status LEDs in use.
Note: Other card types are in use in addition to the two ARCNET card types described in the
following breakdown.
2.5.2.1. ARCNET Cards with One Status LED (Green)

• The yellow LED indicates communication between the PC and the ARCNET card.
LED Green TxLED Transmit Activity-LED

Normal No voltage; No functionality Network

Operation reconfiguration
• The green LED indicates communication between the ARCNET card and the ARCNET line.

2.6. Signal Transmission on the ARCNET Lines

• The distance of the maximum of the individual sine oscillations of 400ns or multiples of 400ns as well as
the maintaining of defined signal levels can be checked by connecting an oscilloscope to the ARCNET
hub or directly to the cable.
2.6.1. Oscillograms
2.6.1.1. Oscillograms with Normal Signal Transmission
• Depending on the job to be transmitted, packets of individual sine oscillations (5 MHz) are transmitted
over the line, in which the statuses of the individual data bits are encrypted.
• It must be ensured that both half-waves of the sine oscillations are transferred.
• The allowable voltage range U PEAK-PEAK may lie between 15.4 and 25 V according to the ARCNET
definitions.
Warning! The indicated standards are not met in ARCNET strands with modules from BDT.
The cause for this is an actual interference protection circuit on the BDT modules that
is intended to increase electromagnetic compatibility. For data that comes from BDT
modules, the voltage range U PEAK-PEAK often lies only at 7-10 V.
The low ARCNET level has been tolerated by all ARCNET hubs used to date. There are
no known problems to this regard.
In ARCNET strands with modules from BDT and other manufacturers, the different
levels are distinctly visible during oscillographing.

• Spikes on the line (not depicted in the oscilloscope) indicate interference that is coupling into the line.
The cause for this can be incorrectly shielded lines on the frequency converter used on the press
(approx. 18-20kHz).
• The distances of the maximums of the individual oscillations equals 400ns or multiples of 400ns.

With 93Ω
Incorrect Terminating Resistance)
2.6.2. Measurement of ARCNET Line
Inspection of the ARCNET signal can be carried out with a conventional 20MHz oscilloscope. A T-
piece is inserted at the end of the ARCNET line in the respective strand (that is, not on a free input
of the ARCNET hub) and measured with the oscilloscope on the input that is still open.
The signal response on the oscilloscope can be compared with the oscilloscope images included
above.

11.2kΩ 11.2kΩ
11.2kΩ
PE-Line
• Each ARCNET node is connected with the local PE connection of the control or of the computer case
via a resistor of 11.2 k Ω.
Ω resistor was omitted in the KT94 controls from ABB.

Warning! The 11.2kΩ
The resistance value between the outside line and the control ground equals 1MΩ Ω. A
resistance value from the outside line to PE of 1MΩ Ω can thus be measured in the case
that the control ground is connected with PE.
• In order to ensure the effectiveness of the resistor, it must be ensured that the respective control
component is connected functionally to the respective PE connection; that is, with short line and with
secure terminal connection.
• The outside line and shield may not be additionally connected with PE potential between the node
points.
Consequently, it must be ensured when installing and connecting the cable that the bare COAX plug
connector does not even accidentally contact the PE line at any point.
Measure Preferably on ARCNET Hub on Each Strand
• Resistance from the outside line of the COAX plug connector to the PE connection must be
between 11.2kΩΩ and 1kΩ Ω in strands without KT94 from ABB and between 1MΩ Ω and 1kΩΩ in
strands with KT94 from ABB, depending on the number of ARCNET nodes on the respective
strand.
2.8. Troubleshooting Strategy
1. Check the set node numbers. Node numbers assigned multiple times frequently cause continual
reconfigurations. In some cases, reconfigurations only occur during transmission of data. The activation
modules for the ink keys are an example of this.
2. Localize the fault location to one strand by disconnecting individual ARCNET strands from the ARCNET
hub until stable network operation is achieved.
Warning! If the defective strand is reconnected to the hub as the only strand after eliminating
the defective strand from the ARCNET hub, it is often the case that no malfunction is

recognizable. Only after additionally connecting multiple, functioning strands does

the error reoccur.
3. Check the terminating resistance by measuring the resistance value.
4. If the aforementioned steps are unsuccessful, remove the active hub from the network. In this case, there
should be only 8 participants remaining in the network. The other participants should be ruled out by
separating the ARCNET connection from network operation.
5. To localize the error to one participant, the respective sub-assembly can be bridged with a t-piece.
Warning! In the case of frequent network reconfigurations in normal operation, inspection of

the cable and particularly the contact reliability of all plug connections is required. If
the error cannot be localized to an individual strand, these steps must be carried out
on the entire press.
If necessary, disconnect all plugs from the cable and then properly reconnect.
6. Without disconnecting the ARCNET cable on the hub, it can be inspected whether there is an disallowed
connection of the outside line with the press ground by measuring the resistance between the outside
line of the connection plug and the PE connection. With proper cable installation, the resistance value
equals at least 1 kΩ.
In defective cases, the resistance is between 10 Ω and 0 Ω.
7. In the case of improper cable installation, with small bend radiuses, cable breakage can occur, which
can lead to malfunctions due to the mech. oscillations, especially during movement (printing process,
operating stage 1, creep speed). If the cable is suspected to be the cause of the error, only a systematic
replacement of the individual connection lines will help.

3. Status Indicator on Controls with ARCNET from Baldwin

• Quick diagnostics in case of ARCNET interface faults from the Baldwin control to the printing press
• Pump stations (LEDs on ARCNET card, rear side control)
3.1. Meaning of Diagnostics LEDs
EXCNAK: "EXCessive NegativAKnowledge" The participant attempted unsuccessfully to deposit a

message to the selected recipient, because the recipient did
not enable its receive buffer.
RI: "Receiver Inhibited" Recipient blocked; other participants cannot send messages
to this participant.
TA: "Transmitter Available" This network participant is ready to send a new message.
TMA: "Transmitter Message Acknowledged" The sent message was confirmed as "valid" or correctly
received by the recipient.
MYRECON: "My Reconfiguration" This participant has triggered a reconfiguration; that is,
the participant is attempting to trigger a network initialization.
Reason: No other participant recognized in the network or
TOKEN was not issued within a defined time limit.
3.2. Possible Combinations of Diagnostics LEDs on the ARCNET Card:
3.2.1. Normal Operation without Faults.
EXCNAK
RI
TA on
TMA on
MYRECON
3.2.2. No Connection to ARCNET, Possibly Cable Unplugged, Network Interrupted
EXCNAK
RI
TA on
TMA
MYRECON (blinks at approx. one-second intervals)

3.2.3. Addressed Participant Not Ready to Receive

A message could not be deposited after 128 send attempts,
because the recipient (destination) did not open its "receive buffer."
(EXCNAK indicator was set after 128 send attempts)
That means, for example, that no washing program tables or error messages were sent to the
recipient.
If this case occurs while the washing program is running (e.g. because a print unit node is not
operating properly), the washing program is cancelled.
EXCNAK on
RI
TA
TMA
MYRECON
3.2.4. No Response from Addressed Participant

A message to another participant was delivered but not properly acknowledged by the recipient;
Possible causes: Fault in network or recipient not available (e.g. more
print units set in Baldwin control than are actually present)
Incorrect setting of IP Address
EXCNAK
RI
TA on
TMA
MYRECON
3.2.5. Universal Validity

• The meaning of diagnostics LED can generally be transferred to all RCWLs or CRCWLs that are
equipped with ARCNET interfaces.
• The relevant send and receive addresses can additionally be adjusted via software in the
aforementioned devices.
• Additional diagnostics LEDs were provided on controls before the model B500.

4. ARCNET Reconfiguration on Presses with Contemp Cabinets
• Reconfigurations of the ARCNET of the entire press are known if
the cabinets are equipped with 230V-OMRON controls and RS232c/ARCNET couplers from
Deutschmann.
The frequency is variable. A reconfiguration often occurs only every 2-10 min.
• Countermeasures:
1. All 230V contactors in the Contemp cabinet must be cleared of interference
2. The shield on the RS232c connection line between the OMRON control and the
RS232c/ARCNET coupler must be connected to PE potential at both ends. On the
RS232c/ARCNET coupler side, it must be ensured that the connection is kept as short as possible.
One-sided connection of the shield is not sufficient!!!
Note: The modifications have already been made by Contemp where necessary. The problems
have not been seen in the use of 24V controls (as of the start of 2007).
