1. INTRODUCTION
Industrial machine programming is currently done in a variety of ways. Portable
programming units are an important aspect of this area precisely because of their
portable nature.
The TP-10 programming terminal is ergonomic, robust, reliable and simple to operate.
It has been designed to be able to handle the working conditions commonly found in
industrial environments and is quick and easy to operate and can communicate with all
SERRA controllers from the 7000 series onwards, it allows you to modify and view
data and will report any errors which arise.

Its light weight and ergonomic dimensions make the TP-10 a fully-portable unit. If the
terminal needs to be located close to the controller on a permanent basis, the
accessory called TP-10 Wall Mount allows it to be mounted next to the machine.
The electronics are shielded from electromagnetic interference and the TP-10
Programming Terminal complies with all requirements imposed by the European
Directives referring to electromagnetic compatibility and also conforms to the EN
50081-2 generic Emission standards and EN 50082-2 generic Immunity standards
which both apply to industrial environments.
Note: The hardware of the TP-10 has been redesigned, although the external housing
remains the same. To show that the new hardware version has been installed,
the text TP-10-B will be displayed when the unit is turned on. If we want to
update the firmware of the TP-10, we need to select the appropriate file for the
hardware..

3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3.1 General
The TP-10 Portable Programming terminal includes an alphanumeric display which
displays information on 4 lines of 20 characters each. It also has a keyboard which is
used to enter data.
Communication with the controller is handled by an RS-232 serial channel. The serial
and 24 V DC power supply cables between the terminal and the controller run through
a cable sleeve.
The control data can be saved on the TP-10 Terminal. This data can also be dumped
to any other controller of the same series.
For the terminal to be able to function correctly with any SERRA controller from the
7000 series onwards, the control data will need to be input via programming, as is
shown below.
Terminal functions also include a key press sound and dimming of the display
illumination after a certain amount of time.
3.2 Wall mounting
When the TP-10 terminal needs to be attached to the side of a machine or a cabinet,
we can use the TP-10 Wall Mount accessory:
Figure 3-1. Wall Mount for the TP-10
TP-10 PROG. TERMINAL: User manual
6 SERRA Soldadura, S.A.
3 x M4 holes will need to be drilled in the side of the machine or the cabinet to attach
the wall mount. Their positions are shown in the figure above.
Once the wall mount has been attached, the programming unit can be mounted on it. If
the user prefers to hold it when programming, it can easily be extracted by pushing it
upwards. Once the task has been performed, it can then be replaced by inserting into
the top of the mount and pushing down gently.
3.3 Saving parameters on the TP-10
The TP-10 programming terminal has an internal memory which is able to store
welding and control parameters which can then be transferred to another controller
requiring the same or similar parameters, this saves time as the parameters do not
need to be reprogrammed into the second controller.
The data is stored permanently in FLASH memory.
See the instruction manual for each specific controller for the precise method for using
this function.
Versions fitted with the new hardware (TP-10) are able to save Serratrón 100
parameters.
3.4 V24 connector signals
The signals which are present at the Sub-D connector correspond to an RS-232
communications channel. Two other cables also run between the unit and the welding
controller and these provide the 24 V DC power supply which is required by the
programming terminal. The jumpers on the V24 connector are used to make it
compatible with welding controllers of different series:
