Large Synchronized Network Layout
When building a large local EBC (Ethernet Based Connectivity) network an
SC5000 Controller should be used together with a PWR-480B power supply unit.
In this case the SC5000 unit acts as the system master and is connected to the
host through one of its interfaces.
• The SC5000 can be connected to the Host in several different layouts
de
pending on the controller model.
• The SC5000 Standard models provide both Ethernet connections (direct or
th
rough a Hub/Switch) and point-to-point connections on the Main inter-
face using either RS232 or RS422 full-duplex;
• Fieldbus models, additionally provide th
e model specific Fieldbus: Profibus,
Profinet IO, etc.
• All scanners act as slaves and are connected to the SC5000 through the EBC
in
terface.
External devices such as a presence sensor and an encoder are all connected
ei
ther to the SC5000 through its M12 circular connectors, or to the CBX510 con-
nection box (connected to the Controller), wiring the signals through the CBX510
compr
ession connectors.
SC5000: Basic Layout: Ethernet TCP/IP To Host
(*)If you prefer an alternative wiring connection, rather than the M12 connection
type, use the CBX510 accessory, as shown below.
