ABB YHMT DC Drive Printer Interface

ABB YHMT DC Drive Printer Interface

ABB YHMT DC Drive Printer Interface

(OP)
this question relates to the mini printer that connects to the drive control pannel (YPP 109A) on ABB YHMT dc drives and I beleive others in the Tyrak/midi Range it is actually a Able Systems Mini Printer AP24 with what i think is A interface pcb Abb part no YPF 104B the printer Part No is YT290000-A

Can anyone tell me
1  what printer protocol the printer output on the control panel card uses

2 The original Able systems Part No for the printer it's self a serial no would be most helpful too

3 The output protocol of the Abb interface Card

The reason behind all this is that the able printer print quality is quite poor . If i Can obtain any of the above info i should be able to upgrade to a better quality mini printer

Finially if someone knows how to interface a standard serial/Parrallel printer to these drives please enlighten me

We use the printer to print out the fault log and also the drive parameters sometimes

Thanks for Your Time

and if he hasn't changed his phone...

I think his direct is  1+262-785-3363 ...

Tim has responsibilty for the DC Drive Products in North America.
