5.6 ID-NET SYNCHRONIZED NETWORKS
The ID-NET 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 31 slaves connected
together.
The slave scanners are connected together using the ID-NET interface. Every slave scanner
must have a ID-NET address in the range 1-31.
The master scanner is also connected to the Host on the RS232/RS485 main serial
interface.
For a Master/Slave Synchronized layout 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 not necessary to bring the External Trigger signal to all the scanners.
The main, auxiliary, and ID-NET interfaces are connected as shown in the figure below.

The Master scanner can be connected to the CBX series connection box (CBX + BM100
module) or to a QL500 having sw version 2.02.01 and later, with the advantage of the
Backup and Restore configuration function.
