VOLTAGE DROP AND MAX DISTRIBUTED CURRENT CALCULATIONS
For correct network management, the maximum number of readers which can
propagate power through the QLs must be calculated so that max distributed current is
not exceeded and so voltage drop doesn't affect reader functioning. This is done
according to the following formula:
Voltage Drop =
(Max Reader Current x Number of readers) x
(Resistance per Meter per wire* x Cable length in Meters)
* the resistance calculation must include both wires (Vdc and GND).
Example:
An ID-
NET™ network is composed of 4 DS2100N readers. Three 2-meter ID-NET™
cables are used to connect the readers, which have Cable Resistance = 0.058 Ohms
per meter per wire. The network power is 24 Vdc.
(0.2083 A x 4 readers) x [(0.058 x 2) x 6 meters] = 0.58 Vdc voltage drop
24 Vdc - 0.58 = 23.42 Vdc at reader number 4 (worst case)
Integrate a sufficient number of QL200s to resupply network power.
SOFTWARE RELEASE VERIFICATION NOTE
Starting from software release 2.02.01 the QL500 also supports:
•
Ethernet IP (explicit messaging)
•
Modbus TCP
•
Backup & Restore
When Ethernet TCP/IP is enabled, the QL500 software release is shown in the read-
only parameter in Genius™ Data Communication Settings> CBX Gateway>Line
Parameters>
PrgName
. The Scanner Family must have software package 006 or later.
When Ethernet TCP/IP is enabled, the QL500 software release is shown in t
he VisSet™
Welcome menu. The Matrix Family reader must have software release 6.10 or later.
For more information on these features see the reader's Help On Line.

TRIGGER
In order to allow direct trigger cabling between the photocell and the QL300/500 using standard M12 A-
coded one-to-one cables, the trigger signal has been internally wired to manage PNP type photocells. The
external trigger therefore
must be connected as shown in the diagram below
