Only a few parameters need to be set for slave operation. Network commissioning can thus be performed
in very little time (see chapter 10 "Starting up the device - Configuration").
Slave address
The BCL 600i display has an important function for setting the network address. The network address, i.e.
the corresponding station number of the slave, is set via the display. The address which is set must be > 0
since the master always has address 0 (Adr.00).
Each network device with an address > 0 is thereby automatically informed that it is a slave in the
Leuze multiNet plus with this address and that it is initialized and queried by the network master. No other
settings are necessary for commissioning in the Leuze multiNet plus.
Other settings
The parameters necessary for the reading task, such as the code types to be read and the number of digits
of the code, must be set. This can be done via the display, as well as with the help of the webConfig tool.
7.8.4 The BCL 601i as network slave
The BCL 601i bar code readers are specially designed for slave operation in a network. They transmit data
to the multiNet master only after the master prompts it to do so and establish the continuing connection
via the BUS OUT socket to the slaves which follow. Only a few parameters need to be set for slave oper
-
ation. Network commissioning can thus be performed in very little time (see chapter 10 "Starting up the
device - Configuration").
The connection is performed as described above (see figure 7.14).
Slave address
With the BCL 601i, the network address, i.e. the corresponding station number of the slave, is set via the
display. The address which is set must be > 0 since the master always has address 0 (Adr.00).
Each network device with an address > 0 is thereby automatically informed that it is a slave in the
Leuze multiNet plus with this address and that it is initialized and queried by the network master. No other
settings are necessary for commissioning in the Leuze multiNet plus.
Other settings
The parameters necessary for the reading task, such as the code types to be read and the number of digits
of the code, must be set. This can be done via the display, as well as with the help of the webConfig tool.
