Network Size; Floating Articles; Network Reports - QUORION CR 1000 User Manual

When you want to connect only 2 registers in a network you can also use a RS-232
network using the standard RS-232 ports in your register. The NETWORK PORT for RS-
232 can be PORT# 1 & PORT# 3. The maximum BAUDRATE for PORT# 1 is 57600
(PARAMETER 2, value 6) and the maximum BAUDRATE for PORT# 3 is 78125
(PARAMETER 4, value 7). It is advised to use the highest possible baud rate.
RS-485 NETWORK
When you want to connect more then 2 registers in a network you MUST use a RS-485
network which means you also need an RS-485 card installed in your register. The
NETWORK PORT for RS-485 is fixed to PORT# 4 and the maximum BAUDRATE is
78125 (PARAMETER 5, value 7). Other possible baud rates are 52083 (value 6), 38400
(value 5), 19200 (value 4). It is advised to use the highest possible baud rate.

5.5.2 Network Size

The Network Size is programmed in PARAMETER 55 and is only required for Floating
Balances and Consolidated report. Note that the register number must be sequential when
you are using the network for floating balances and reporting. When you are only using the
network for sharing printers and computer connection the network size is not required. The
theoretical maximum is set to 24 registers

5.5.3 Floating Articles

It is possible to do PLU maintenance and have it sent automatically to all registers in the
network. When you want to use the network for floating articles you must SET OPTION 93
and program the NETWORK SIZE so the register knows to which registers it should sent
the article information. PLU maintenance means changing PLU information or
creating/deleting PLU when using scan codes.

5.5.4 Network Reports

It is possible to set OPTION 1-8 in a USER REPORT which will automatically make this
report a NETWORK report. Note that also the NETWORK SIZE (PARAMETER 55) must
be programmed. Whenever a USER report is taken with this option set the register will
check if all registers are online and take a consolidated report. When not all register are
online the register will give an error an not take the report. You must first switch on the
register or disable it with program mode 99.
It is also possible to take a USER REPORT as network report without setting OPTION 1-8.
When you add 1000 to the report number the register will also take the USER report as a
network report.
It is also possible to take a SYSTEM REPORT as network report When you add 10000000
to the system report code the register will also take the SYSTEM REPORT as a network
report.
