IRC Programming
To start IRC programming, first, turn on the machines in the IRC system and put them
in the PGM2 mode. The programming procedures for both the master and satellites
will be explained below.
1. Setting the machine numbers — master and satellite
It is necessary to assign machine numbers to the master and satellites before programming.
1.
Enter the PGM2 mode from the mode selection
window.
2.
Select “SETTING” and press the
ENTER
key.
3.
Select “TERMINAL” and press the
ENTER
key.
4.
Select “MACHINE#” from the TERMINAL window,
enter a machine number and press the
ENTER
key.
Machine number: up to 6 digits (0–999999)
5.
Repeat steps 1 to 4 for all machines in the IRC
system.
NOTE
In an IRC network, each machine number must be unique.
Do not use the same number for two or more machines.

2. Setting the terminal numbers (IRC machine numbers) for
satellites
It is assumed that your terminal has been set for inline operations.
1.
Enter the PGM2 mode from the mode selection
window.
2.
Select “SETTING” and press the
ENTER
key.
3.
Select “INLINE CONFIG” and press the
ENTER
key.
4.
Enter a terminal number for IP ADDRESS 4 from (0–
254) and press the
ENTER
key.
(For programming for the SYSTEM RETRY function,
see page
41
.)
5.
Repeat steps 1 to 4 for all machines in the IRC
system.
NOTE
• Terminal numbers must be assigned to the master and each satellite in the IRC system.
(For setting the master’s terminal number, see the next paragraph.)
• If an IRC network contains two or more machines with the same terminal number, IRC
communications will not be achieved correctly. Each terminal number must be unique.
• The terminal number should be in the range from 1 to 254.
• If the terminal number “000” is programmed for a machine, it is put in the OFF LINE mode and
cannot take part in IRC communications.

3. Initial setting for the master and master list creating/updating
(1) Setting the terminal number for the master and creating the master list
A master list can only be created on the pre-designated
master.
1.
After entering the PGM2 mode, select “SETTING” and
press the
ENTER
key.
2.
Select “INLINE CONFIG” and press the
ENTER
key.
3.
Enter a terminal number for IP ADDRESS 4 from (0–
254) for the master and carry out the programming for
BMA MACHINE No.* and the SYSTEM RETRY
function* and press the
ENTER
key. The subwindow for
the creation of the master list will open.
(*For programming for BMA MACHINE No. and the
SYSTEM RETRY function, see pages
40–41
.)
4.
Enter the terminal number (1–254) for a machine in
the IRC system and press the
ENTER
key. The
subwindow for machine number entry will open.
5.
Enter the machine number (1–999999) of the machine
and press the
ENTER
key.
6.
Repeat steps 4 to 5 for all machines in the IRC
system. Press the
CASH/TL
key to complete the master
list.
39
NOTE
•
The terminal numbers and machine numbers of the master and satellites must be entered into
the master list for IRC communications.
•
The terminal numbers and machine numbers of up to 16 machines (one master and 15
satellites) can be entered into the master list.
•
The terminal number should be in the range from 1 to 254 and the machine number from 1 to
999999.
•
No satellite can perform inline communications unless its terminal and machine numbers are
present in the master list.
•
If a machine number which already exists in the master list is entered, an entry error will occur
even when the corresponding terminal number does not exist in the list.
•
Even if a set of terminal and machine numbers that exists in the master list is entered, no error
will occur (the list will remain unchanged.)
(2) Deleting a machine from the master list (subwindow program)
To delete a terminal number from the master list, proceed as follows:
1. Select “PGM2 MODE” from the mode selection window and press the
ENTER
key to enter
the PGM2 mode.
2. Select “SETTING” and press the
ENTER
key. The SETTING window will open.
3. Select “INLINE CONFIG” and press the
ENTER
key. The INLINE SETTING window will open.
4. Press the
CASH/TL
key. The subwindow for the master list will open.
5. Enter the terminal number to be deleted and press the
DELETE
key.
6. The machine will ask you as follows: “ARE YOU SURE?” If you are sure to delete it,
select “YES.” If not, select “NO.”
7. Press the
CASH/TL
key to complete the master list.
NOTE
•
You can delete any of the terminal numbers that are in the master list.
•
Deleting the master from the master list will inhibit all requests of the satellites from being
serviced.
