MULTIPLEXER
The Multiplexer connection is used to integrate a DS6300 slave reader in a Multidrop
network consisting of different scanners not provided with a Lonworks interface.
Each scanner is connected to a Multiplexer (MX4000) with the RS485
half-duplex main interface.
Figure 122 – Multiplexer for DS6300 Master/Slave Models
The auxiliary serial interface of the slave scanners can be used to visualize collected data or
to configure it using the Genius™ utility.
When On-Line operating mode is used, the scanner is activated by an External Trigger/PS
when the object enters its reading zone.
