Logistics

Please revert the VLSI Data Box and the SFL board.

Prerequisite:

• Verify that the distance between the Lotem L-Box and the Brisque does not exceed 30 meters.
  
• The machine should have a DDB-1-N (503D2L695S) C.L. - L or higher
  
• Verify that the Brisque is Updated to Ver. 1.32 plus UPD 2 (Lotem update 1.35) or higher.
  

Procedure

1. Route the cable from the Brisque station to the ThermoFlex.
2. Update the DDB-1-N connections to TSP.
3. Install the TSP Board (described in the Brisque installation guide).
4. Update the Lotem Application for TSP.
   

Route the cable from the Brisque station to the ThermoFlex

Route the 30-meter cable from the Brisque station to the Lotem (or the other way around).
Place one end near the Brisque and other end near the L-Box.

H/W update the DDB-1-N connections to the TSP

1. Open the back door and then the right door
   
2. Exit from the Lotem Application and shut down the P.C.
   
3. Power off the Lotem by the Main Switch.
   
4. From the left door, open the L-Box to the service position and open it's back door to allow access to the DDB-1N board.
   
5. Disconnect the cable from the VLSI to the DDB - 504L1L320A.
   
6. Verify that the DDB1-1-N - sn 503D2L695S is installed and the C.L. is L or higher.
   
7. Replace the DDB to the L-Box flat cable:
• The old flat cable is- "FLAT 100 REC X 2" - sn 504T1L473
  
• The new flat cable is "FLAT 100 PIN DDB (A+B) TO L-BOX" - sn 504T2D064.
  
• Disconnect the old flat cable from the DDB - J8.
  
• Open the 4 Philips screws on the right-hand side of the L-Box to gain access to the L-Box motherboard.
  
• Open the 4 nuts securing the L-Box motherboard.(Sometimes the nuts come off with the screw attached. That is OK)
  
• Remove the motherboard by pulling the board from the edges toward you being careful not to bend the pins on the large connectors located on the left-hand side of the board.
• Install the new cable (505T2D064) and connect the single end connector of the cable to the J5 connector (marked as Lotem) for a TSP configuration.
  
  Note: You can leave the disconnected VLSI flat cable in place in case you need to return to the VLSI mode.
  
  
• Gently put back the M.B. verifying that no pin was bent.
  
• Close the M.B. cover
  
  





8. Reconnect the cables to DDB J4, J5, and J9.
   
9. Close the L-Box.
   
10. Reconnect the cable from the E-BOX to J3 on the L_BOX (The lower connector).
    
11. Connect the new cable 504L1L670 to the L-Box (The middle connector) and route it to the Brisque station.
    
    Note: Use caution when opening and closing the L-Box to its service position. The TSP cable can damage the connector on the DDB-1N board. Ferrite can also cause damage when moving the L-Box to its service position
    
    
12. Close all the doors.

Install the TSP Board
Follow the TSP board installation guide.
Connect the TSP cable coming from the L-Box.

2. On the PC, select Start and then Run from the pop-up menu.
   
3. Type regedit in the text box and select OK.
4. Go to the
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Scitex\Projects\LotemFlexo\IO OBJECTS\DDB CARDS\DDB
   Card and change the Hex File Name to LotemFlexoo\UpLoadFile\Ddb\TSP\ddb-wcs.hex
5. Go to the
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Scitex\Projects\LotemFlexo\Machine
   and change the Screen Processor Type (VLSI=0, TSP=1) to "1".
6. Load the rbf files to the DDB-1-N flash memory:
   Open the Hardware -> Boards and double click on DDB.
   The DDB window will appear.
   
   Note: A window will appear after 4 minutes because the Altera dips in the DDB-1-N board update according to the new files.
   

   Click on Send All.

7. Shutdown the machine and turn off the main power.
   
8. Switch on the machine again and start the Lotem application.
