PHCM-DG2 – Ethernet

PHCM-DG2 GIS Print Manager Board
GIS Inkjet Operating System

The PHCM-DG2 is the latest hardware component of the GIS Inkjet Operating System.

It enables a standard Windows PC to drive multiple industrial inkjet printheads via Ethernet in Single Pass, Scanning XY and custom systems. The PHCM-DG2 also supports drop watching.

Complete Printhead Control

The PHCM-DG2 provides read and write access to all available OEM printhead settings including temperature control, voltage and waveform settings, binary and greyscale calibration.

Drop Placement Control

The Advanced Encoder Manager System (AEMS) supports industry standard encoders and product detect / print go signals and provides per-printhead encoder divide and sub-pixel adjust, delivering complete drop placement control and repeatability.

Connectivity

The PHCM-DG2 is a component of the GIS Inkjet Operating System. It is designed to drive any manufacturer’s printhead using GIS Printhead Cards.

Performance

Each printhead is driven by a dedicated high speed channel capable of delivering print data on demand in the most demanding of applications.

High speed on-board RAM provides ample buffering for wide-format and single pass systems, allowing the specialised software drivers to deliver continuous static and variable data streams to the printheads.

Advanced Applications

With the power to simultaneously drive multiple printhead technologies off the same system at different resolutions, the PHCM-DG2 opens up a world of possibilities for printer development and manufacturing.
