BC-8060 Network Connectors

The multidrop network is a bus system which is propagated from one BC-8060 cradle to
another using individual cables. This is possible thanks to the RS-485 connector on the
front panel of the cradle.
Figure 10. Network Connectors
All cradles are connected together within the bus system through the Datalogic RS-485
splitter cable (CAB-428, part number 90A051950), which must be inserted in the RS-485
cradle connector.
Cable length should be kept to a minimum, as with all bus systems.
