7.1.4 Multidata Network
In this layout, one master and up to 7 DS8100A slave readers have their own P.S. and
therefore multiple reading phases. Each P.S. is connected through a CBX100, which in turn
is connected to its relative scanner through a CAB-F0x cable.
The master sends all the individual messages collected from the Lonworks interface as well
as its own to the Local Host through its CBX100.
The following image shows a system consisting of four readers, which are all connected
together using CAB-81xx cables and the system is powered by a PWR-240 power supply.
* P.S. (Presence Sensor) connected to Input 1 (External Trigger/PS) input.
** all CBX100s have jumper set to accept scanner power
