2.3 the operation of controller
Figure 15 is a sequential chart, explains to the storage array 103B of substrate to write data and the operation of reading data
Figure 16 is a sequential chart, illustrates the startup of first induction coil 1000 in the tape deck and remove to start.
Shown in figure 15; Writing fashionable to storage array 103B; Opening code adds the order that colouring information, control code, address code and numeric data code are named by the control circuit in the master component side 300; Through holding wire DATA (Figure 10), with clock CLK synchronously, offer the I/O control circuit 103A of the controller 103 in print cartridge 1.Add that at opening code start the watch in the color information signals shows the beginning of data signal sequence, and colouring information is effective for the identification concrete print cartridge relevant with data signal sequence.
As shown in the figure, colouring information has the coding corresponding to each color K, C, M and the Y of ink.The I/O control circuit 103A represented colouring information of will encoding compares with the colouring information that is stored in the print cartridge 1 itself among the storage array 103B.Only under their identical situation, data subsequently just are received, if different, data are subsequently then ignored.In the present embodiment, colouring information is corresponding to the information that provides from tape deck.Do like this; Even when from the master component side through the common signal line DATA shown in Figure 10 when all print cartridges 1 provide common data-signal, the related print cartridge 1 of data also can be by identification correctly, this is because include colouring information in the data; Therefore; According to data subsequently, for example the writing of subsequent data, read, the startup of first induction coil 1000 and removing starts, only the print cartridge 1 that is identified is carried out.The result; Article one, the common data holding wire just is used for enough that whole four print cartridge data write, the releasing of the startup of first induction coil 1000 and first induction coil 1000 starts; Thereby reduced the required quantity of holding wire; As what understood, regardless of the quantity of print cartridge, a common data holding wire just enough is used for all data information exchange.
Shown in figure 16, the control model of present embodiment comprises: OFF sign indicating number and ON sign indicating number, and so that being started and remove, first induction coil 1000 starts, and just first induction coil 1000 is launched or is not launched; READ sign indicating number and WRITE sign indicating number, control promptly read data and write data from storage array the visit of storage array.In write operation, the WRITE sign indicating number is followed behind the colouring information sign indicating number, with the print cartridge operation to being identified.Next sign indicating number is an address code, prepares to write an address of data in this representation storage array, and last sign indicating number is a numeric data code, the content of the data that this representation preparation writes.
In the present embodiment, these yards are corresponding to the instruction from head device.The represented content of control code is not limited to the content in the above-mentioned example, for example can increase checking instruction and/or continuous reading command.
For read operation, the structure of data-signal is identical with the situation of write operation.The coding that opening code adds colouring information is accepted by the I/O control circuit 103A of all print cartridges 1, is similar to the situation of write operation, and data-signal is subsequently only accepted by the I/O control circuit of the print cartridge with same color information 1.Difference is that the data that read are exported with the rising edge of first clock pulses synchronously after by the address code assigned address, like this, I/O control circuit 103A just can avoid reading the mutual interference mutually of data and other input signal when carrying out control.
Shown in figure 16; Start about the startup (emission) of first induction coil 1000 and the releasing of first induction coil 1000; Opening code adds the data-signal of colouring information, is similar to as stated, at first delivers to I/O control circuit 103A from the master component side through holding wire DATA.As stated, identify correct print cartridge 1, and the print cartridge 1 to identifying only starts (emission) and releasing startup by the control code of sending into subsequently to first induction coil 1000 according to colouring information.It is said as above to engage Figure 13, starts and remove the control code that starts to comprise ON sign indicating number and OFF sign indicating number, and it is effective that these sign indicating numbers start in first induction coil 1000 to startup and releasing respectively.That is to say that when control code was expressed as ON, I/O control circuit 103A was to ON signal of driver 103C output, as above combine shown in Figure 13ly, keep output state after this continuously.Otherwise when control code was expressed as OFF, I/O control circuit 103A kept output state continuously to OFF signal of driver 103C output after this.The actual moment that the startup of first induction coil 1000 or releasing start is after the 7th clock pulses of each data-signal clock CLK.
In the example of this figure, be in black (K) print cartridge 1 first identification of the data-signal of leftmost position, then, first induction coil 1000 of the container of black ink K is connected.Then, the colouring information of second data-signal is represented magenta ink M, and the control code representative starts, and therefore, first induction coil 1000 of the container of magenta ink M is connected, and first induction coil 1000 of the container of ink K keeps on-state.The control code of the 3rd data-signal is to remove the instruction that starts, and has only first induction coil 1000 of the container of ink K to be disengaged startup.
It is thus clear that the control of first induction coil 1000 is realized by the control circuit 300 of tape deck master component, alternately sends repeated priming and removes the start-up control sign indicating number to the print cartridge of being discerned.This first induction coil 1000 drives light emission part 101 after responding to second induction coil 1000 ' in the tape deck, and the cycle period of light emission part 101 flickers can be confirmed by the cycle period of selected alternately control code.
