TYPICAL LAYOUTS
The following image shows a system consisting of five readers (mixed 8K and 6K) where the
external signals (trigger, encoder, serial to host, etc.) are connected to the master through
the CBX100.
Note: In a mixed 8K and 6K family scanner network, only the 8K family scanner can be
Master.
The entire system is powered by the PWR-240 where:
Power is distributed through two CAB-63xx cables to avoid excessive current draw.
the master is connected to the CBX100 through the CAB-F0x, and provides power to the
PS and Encoder.
The Master DS8100A is terminated with the BTK-8102 and the last slave DS6400 is
terminated with the BT-6000.

If a single power source is used, it is not necessary to separate groups of
scanners with CAB-611x "no power" cables.
