Communication Options
This section defines the communication options for the Reader.
DeviceNet Network
AdaptaScan Readers support both DeviceNet Master/Slave and
Peer-to-Peer protocols.
On a DeviceNet Master/Slave network, Readers and other DeviceNet
slave devices communicate with a DeviceNet Scanner (Master). Up
to 63 slave devices are allowed on a master/slave network.
On a DeviceNet peer-to-peer network, up to 32 Readers can be
connected together. These Readers can:
work in a coordinated mode to read multiple bar code symbols on
different sides of the same package.
combine data from several Readers to a single Reader that
communicates the data to a host.
pass input and output status information between Readers.
