Large Synchronized Network

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.
All scanners act as slaves and are connected to the SC6000 through the PWO power
supply/junction box. For DX6400 scanners, a single branch connector provides Lonworks
communications between the scanners and the SC6000 unit. Power is distributed evenly by
connecting groups of up to 4 Slave scanners through CAB-63XX cables. The last scanner on
the line requires a Termination connector.
The allowed maximum bus length is 130 m.
External devices such as a presence sensor and an encoder are all connected to the PWO.
* P.S. (Presence Sensor) connected to External Trigger/PS input.
** Encoder connected to ENC input.
