TYPICAL LAYOUTS
5.2 EXTERNAL FIELDBUS USING HOST MODE INTERFACE MODULES
In this layout a single scanner functions as a Slave node on a Fieldbus network. The data is
transmitted to the Host through an accessory Fieldbus interface board installed inside the
CBX500 connection box.
Scanner configuration can be accomplished through the Auxiliary interface using the Genius
configuration program or Genius based Host Mode programming.
In Local Echo communication mode, data is transmitted on the RS232 auxiliary interface
independently from the Fieldbus interface selection.
When On-Line Operating mode is used, the scanner is activated by an External Trigger
(photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.
