MATRIX 400™ REFERENCE MANUAL 82 6 6 TYPICAL LAYOUTS The following typical layouts refer to system hardware configurations . However, they also require the correct setup of the software configuration parameters. Dotted lines in the figures refer to optional hardware configurations within the particular layout. 6.1 POINT-TO-POINT In this layout the[...]

TYPICAL LAYOUTS 83 6 In this layout a single reader functions as a Slave node on a Fieldbus network. The data is transmitted to the Host through an accessory Fieldbus interface board installed inside the CBX500 connection box. Reader configuration can be accomplished thro ugh the Auxiliary interface using the VisiSet™ configuration program or Hos[...]

MATRIX 400™ REFERENCE MANUAL 84 6 6.2 PASS-THROUGH Pass-through mode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single external serial interface. Each reader transmits the messages received by the Auxiliary interface onto the Main interface. All messages will be passed through this chain to the host. When One Shot or Phase Mode operating mod[...]

TYPICAL LAYOUTS 85 6 An alternative Pass-Through layout allows the more efficient ID-NET™ network to be used. This layout is really an ID-NET Master/Slave Mu ltidata layout which also allows each reader (Master and Slaves) to accept input on the Auxiliary interface, for example to connect a device such as a hand-held reader for manual code readin[...]

MATRIX 400™ REFERENCE MANUAL 86 6 6.3 ID-NET™ The ID-NET™ connection is used to collect data from several readers to build a multi-point or a multi-sided reading system; there can be one master and up to 31 slaves connected together. The slave readers are connected together usin g t he ID-NET™ interface. Every slave reader must have an ID-N[...]

TYPICAL LAYOUTS 87 6 For a Master/Slave Multidata layout each reader has its own reading phase independent from the others; each single message is sent from the master reader to the Host computer.
