When building a large local Lonworks network (more than 10 scanners), an SC6000 Controller must be used together with a PWO power supply/junction box unit. In this case the SC6000 unit acts as the system master and is connected to the host through one of its interfaces.
Page 28
SC6000 SC6000 Conveyor Figure 23 – Example Large Synchronized Network Reading Station Here are a few helpful hints which can improve station performance and reduce installation time: 1. Scanner distribution should alternate between odd and even branches so that the station guarantees 50% reading on all sides.
SC6000 Controllers are used together with their respective PWO power supply/junction box units. The scanners are distributed equally between the PWO units. In this case one of the SC6000 Controllers is dedicated as the working or active unit while the other functions as a dedicated protecting or backup unit.

Presence Sensor must be connected to the SC6000 PS input. If instead the PPA-8000 Photocell Array is used, it must be connected to the SC6000 PS and PSAUX inputs, and the Encoder, if present, must be physically disconnected.
NOTE If using the Presence Sensor and Encoder, the presence sensor must be connected to the SC6000 PS input and in this menu the parameter is set to 0. The Encoder Step parameter must also be set correctly. If using the PPA-8000 you must set the Photocell distance (165 mm). The Photocell Array must be connected to the SC6000 PS and PSAUX inputs (see the relative installation manual), and the Encoder, if present, must be disconnected.
Calibrated scanner is calibrated 3. At this point the SC6000 display allows to Continue or to Stop the procedure. You can switch between the previous display windows using the Up or Down arrow keys. If there are any nodes that show as U or L, then you should Stop the procedure and correct the problem.

This configuration is valid when the network is composed only of DS6000, DS8100A and/or DX8200A slave scanners. 1. Run Genius™ from the configuration PC. The following window appears asking to select the configuration mode. Figure 33 – Genius™ Wizard Opening Window Select Advanced. The Wizard option is not currently available for SC6000.

SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 2. From the Device Menu select Local Device Network Settings and configure your SC6000 as Master (SYNCHRONIZED is the default value), as shown in the figure below: Figure 34 – Local Device Network Settings The following dialog box appears asking whether to send the updated configuration to the Local Device or not: 3.
4. Then, proceed with the Network Setup (par. 3.2.1). 5. Configure the SC6000 and Slave Scanner parameters according to your application using the configuration window in Genius™ for each device. The main steps are: ...

SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION Proceed with the network setup by using one of the icons available on the Tool Bar according to the procedure to follow: Net-Autoset procedure Network Wizard procedure Express Network Setup procedure Net-Autoset This procedure is to be used when all scanner addresses and labels are unknown (typically when configuring the network for the first time or whenever a network reconfiguration is required).
Page 50
SC6000 Network Wizard Before performing this procedure, a Lonworks address must be assigned to each slave scanner. The most practical method is through the Net-Autoset procedure. See par. 3.2.2 for alternative address assignment methods. Once all addresses have been assigned, the Network Wizard is to be used when one or more scanner addresses and labels need to be modified.
Page 51
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 2. If desired, select a slave scanner within the “Current Devices” area and click on the icon (or select the “Show Device” option from the right-click menu) to make the dialog box appear as follows: The “Show Device” option is particularly useful after the Net-Autoset procedure or whenever it is necessary to know which address is assigned to a specific slave scanner.
As alternatives to Network Setup through the Master, each Slave scanner can be assigned an address through the following methods: random address assignment from SC6000 to all slaves in the network by performing the CASP™ procedure as described in par. 0; ...

In case of SC6000 failure, the complete system configuration can be recovered from the Compact Flash of the damaged SC6000: by simply installing the old Compact Flash in the new SC6000, the system configuration is automatically restored and the reading station is ready to start working again.
4.2 AUTOMATIC SCANNER REPLACEMENT (ASR) When SC6000 is used in a network of DS8100 or DX8200 scanners, (Topology Role parameter = Other; Device Assignment parameter = Controller Lon Old8K), an ASR backup procedure must be performed to automatically manage scanners and SC6000 replacement in case of failure (ASR Restore).
