DX8200 CONTROLLER
QUICK GUIDE

Connectivity:
DX8200 Controller is always Master on the Lonworks network. It interprets data from each Slave scanner and
performs the correct barcode assignment to the parcel using the PackTrack™ operating mode.
External devices such as a presence sensor and an encoder are all connected to the DX8200 Controller, which is
also connected to a Host PC.
A single DX8200 Controller provides a Lonworks communication line having up to 5
*
scanners. The last scanner
requires the termination connector BTK-8000. The maximum allowable length for the entire bus cabling is 65 m.

The maximum number of scanners on the Lonworks cluster is 6 (1 DX8200 controller + 5 slaves). Positive environmental
conditions (i.e reduced number of barcodes, conveyor speed, reading area dimensions…) to be evaluated case by case, may
further increase the number of slaves up to the theoretical limit of 13.
