5.4 BUILT-IN PROFINET-IO NETWORKS
The PROFINET-IO interface is used to collect data from several readers to build a multi-point
or a multi-sided reading system; there can be one PROFINET-IO Controller (Host) and up to
255 PROFINET-IO Devices (Scanners) connected together in the same subnetwork.
Before proceeding with the connection, it is necessary to configure the scanner. This can be
done via Genius through the Ethernet socket. For further details see par. 2.10. Once a
connection is established, the scanner can also be configured by sending Host Mode
programming strings from the PLC, see the 5K Host Mode Programming Manuals.
5.4.1 Multi Station Layout with Single Port Scanners
(x3xx models)
One or more DS5100-x3xx model scanners can be connected to the network by using CAB-
ETH-M0x cables connected to a Certified PROFINET-IO Switch or PLC. Every scanner must
have its own unique Station Name (see Profinet-IO Line Parameters in Help On Line).
For a Multi Station layout each scanner independently receives the Trigger signal (Trigger
Input from presence sensor, Input from Fieldbus Host, or Serial Start/Stop from Fieldbus
Host) and each scanner sends its message to the Host.
In the example below, Power and an External Trigger are brought to each scanner through a
CBX connection box using the CAB-DS0x-S cables.
