Datalogic Scanning DS4600A Manuel D’Utilisation

INSTALLATION 

 
The RS485 master/slave connection is used to collect data from several scanners to 
build a multi-point or a multi-sided reading system; there can be one master and up 
to 5 slaves connected together. 
The slave scanners are connected together using RS485 half-duplex on the main 
serial interface. Every slave scanner must have a multidrop address in the range 0-4. 
The master scanner is also connected to the Host on the RS232 auxiliary serial 
interface. 
The External Trigger signal is unique to the system; there is a single reading phase 
and a single message from the master scanner to the Host computer. 
It is necessary to bring the External Trigger signal to all the scanners. 
The main and auxiliary ports are connected as shown in the figure below.
