CP525 or CP524 and printer output

Dear Experts,

I am wondering if any of you have had experience with CP525 (or CP524) installed with 944B (or 943B) CPU and its IF1 connected to a dot matrix printer using the active TTY module. I need to create an S5 program for 943B/944B CPU which would enable the CP525/CP524 card to output certain text to a printer. 

To my understanding that there are 2 parts needed:

1) the CP 525/CP524 module needs to be programmed using the COM525 and PROM525 software

2) the S5 PLC program itself that calls FB244 SEND with some parameters to transmit data from the CPU to CP and then to  the printer.

Do you know if there are any additional parts (steps/details) needed to achieve my goal?

In fact, I have a copy of the EPROM from the CP525 card which has a program with
Interpreter I-S5D0000 07, Procedure P-S5D0000 07 and 1 Job SEND.

What I need is any help (links, screenshots, even partial .S5D files) on how to write the S5 PLC side of the code. Can someone give me a hint, please?

Thanks a lot in advance.

PS. I have looked at the manuals here, but I wasn't able to figure out the proper procedure.

Hello,

maybe you'll fimd something here:

The CP525 is easier because you don't need an EPROM.

Thank you, Scott

I did look at that manual (Vol 1) as well as in the follow up part (Vol 2). But I couldn't figure out how to get the S5 program done. I do have a EPROM with the program for CP525-2 module and I am quite sure it works. However, I'm not clear about the S5 code that should work with it.

Any bits of information, hints, links, etc are greatly appreciated!

So far, I only established a communication between to CP's, sorry.

Hello S4gia,

you have an EPROM-Module from that CP 525. To read the content of that Eprom, you need the PROM 525 of the COM 525 software package.

Do you have an Programmer like PG720, PG740 or an Field PG to do that? 

You said there is a dot matrix printer connected to IF1 of the CP 525 and you also mentioned the special driver S5D000 (which was made for the CP 525-2 and CP 524).

That special driver, called "open driver" was made for display units and printers (3rd-party). With the "open driver" it was possible to send/receive data of any structure, for example the ASCII characters, or all the other characters from 00hex to FFhex. 

If you want to extend the content on the Eprom, you have to read the eprom, enhance the content, delete the eprom (do you have an UV-erasor?) and reprogram it. Or, you take the original Eprom as backup and use an RAM-Modul instead.

In the software package COM 525, basic mask, when you enter F1 [Select Program] you get into a mask where you have to enter program name, component, and so on.

I think without documentation of the "open driver" is is hard to get your job done.

You have to contact the technical support and ask for the documentation of the "open driver" S5D000. 

Because it is such an old product, they handle those service requests not free of charge anymore.

You need a SISC Premium - Card with at least "1 case" to get support for mature products.
