In this layout, one master and up to 7 DX8200A 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-601X cable.
The master sends all the individual messages collected from the Lonworks interface as well
as its own to the Local Host through its C-BOX 100.
The following image shows a system consisting of four readers, which are all connected
together using CAB-810X cables and the system is powered by a PWR-240 power supply.
