Domino: EtherNet/IP Interface

For laser coder ranges, the interface is designed to create a smarter, more connected and reliable factory for Industry 4.0 applications.

Formatted for its D-series and F-series lasers, Domino’s hardware device provides direct communication from the coders to the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). Utilizing their existing line equipment, Domino customers will have full control over their laser coding and marking equipment, and its messaging, through standard industrial protocol. The coder can also relay performance data, allowing for predictability and pre-emptive maintenance.

Designed to be easy to configure, the EtherNet/IP is “plug and play,” and does not require extra programming—only four clicks are needed to connect the Domino printer to the hardware. Its connection to a single board computer allows for standard PLC tags to be sent to the printer. Statistics on printer performance can also be seen in real time, allowing for rapid issue diagnosis and data interpretation.

Other data transfer system setups may consist of additional programming in order for the printer to communicate with the PLC—the various functions that enable the connection, which are generally limited and inflexible, have to be coded, which requires technical expertise. These technologies may necessitate extra equipment and external software or may involve third parties. This can delay issue diagnosis or data feedback, and with highly complex systems, costs may be incurred due to ongoing engineer training.
