DS6400 2 2.7.5 Local Lonworks Network A local Lonworks network allows logically connecting a DS6400 master reader with up to 31 DS6400 slaves. Actually, the maximum number of readers to be employed in the network depends on the system operating conditions; that is adopted operating mode and amount of data stream. When creating your network, always [...]

INSTALLATION 2 Small Synchronized Network When building a small local Lonworks network (less than 10 scanners), the DS6400 master reader must be connected to a local host computer or a C-BOX 100 by means of a CAB-60XX cable connected to the 25-pin or 26-pin D-sub male connector. The master reader connects to the first slave reader of the system thr[...]

DS6400 2 The following image shows a system consisting of six readers where: • the system is powered by the PWR-240 • the master and all slaves are connected together through the CAB-610X cables • the external signals (trigger, encoder, serial to host, etc.) are connect ed to the master through the C-BOX 100 • one or more slaves are connect[...]

INSTALLATION 2 Large Synchronize d Network When building a large local Lonworks network (more than 10 scanners), an SC6000 Controller must be used together with a PWO power supply/junction box unit. In this case the SC6000 unit acts as the system master and is connected to the host through one of its interfaces. All scanners act as slaves and ar e [...]

DS6400 2 Multidata Network In this layout, one master and up to 7 DS6400 slave readers have their own P.S. and therefore multiple reading phases. Each P.S. is connected through a C-BOX 100, which in turn is connected to its relative scanner through a CAB-60XX cable. The master sends all the individual messages collected from the Lonworks interface [...]

INSTALLATION 2 2.7.6 Fieldbus Network The Fieldbus Ethernet model offers connectivity without any converter or adapter needed. The DS6400 master Fieldbus communicates with a remote host (for ex. re mote PC connected via Internet) by means of a cable con nected to the Fieldbus connector provided. It can be activated by a signal generated by the remo[...]
