Configuration The VRI-1 will be connected to the bright blue via RS-485 protocol. A maximum of 16 reader interfaces can be connected to one bright blue data channel. Wire runs are limited to 4,000 feet (Data Only) from the bright blue to a VRI-1 (see Recommended Wire Chart).
In a multiplex configuration, each VRI-1 board is connected to any one of the Device connectors (Device 1-1 through 2-16) on the bright blue controller with TB1 for RS-485 communications and TB2 for power on a VRI-1 in parallel. A maximum of 16 VRI-1 boards can be connected to each channel in this manner.
Communication between the bright blue controller and a VRI-1 reader interface is via RS-485 protocol. Any one of the Device connectors (Device 1-1 through 2-16) on the bright blue controller can be used to communicate with TB1 for RS-485 communications and TB2 for power on a VRI-1.
