Overview
Distributed (DeviceNet Master/Slave, DH-485)
The distributed application below shows three Readers scanning bar
codes at different points in an assembly process. Data from any
Reader is individually sent to a controller. The discrete I/O on each
Reader provide distributed control independent of the PLC
monitoring the process.
Controller
Reader
identifies major sub-assemblies for routing to the proper
final assembly area. Reader
verifies the product code on the
assembled product being shipped. Reader
verifies that the
shipping label matches the product code. PLC
monitors the
process.
