1.1 INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the
GWY-01-PBS-01 Reference Manual
. This manual will assist you in the
installation, configuration and operation of Datalogic Automation Subnet16™ Profibus
Gateway Interface Module.
The Profibus Gateway can control up to 16 passive ultra-high or high frequency read/write
Radio-Frequency Identification (
RFID
) controllers. In order to meet and exceed the
requirements of the industrial automation industry, the Profibus Gateway and Datalogic
Automation RFID controllers are designed to be compact, reliable and rugged.
1.1.1 The Subnet16™ Gateway
Subnet16™ is a 16-Node Multidrop bus architecture and protocol that provides connectivity
for up to 16 RFID controllers through a single Gateway device.
The Profibus Gateway supports Profibus -DP communications and can be connected to a
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) via Profibus compatible cabling. It’s compatible with
Datalogic Automation Cobalt UHF-Series, HF-Series and C-Series RFID controllers, reading
LRP, HMS and T-Series RFID tags.
