7.4.2 Multidata ID-NET Network Configurations
The Multidata ID-NET network communications between Master and Slave are managed by
the application job (configuration) using the pass-through feature. A pre-configured job is
loaded with the correct pass-through settings for both the Master and Slaves when the
Default Multidata Configuration is selected from the Internal Network Setting feature.
1. Complete the configuration of all the application parameters (including Image Setup) and
save them to the Master with an application specific name and without the option to
Clone Master configuration on Slaves.
Figure 82 – Saving Multidata Configuration to Master
The jobs must not be cloned because the Master and Slaves have different input/output
communication channels. The readers are also working independently from each other, often
on separate stations with different code reading requirements, different operating modes, etc.
2. Connect to each Slave reader via Ethernet (see note below), and set all the configuration
parameters of each Slave device.
NOTE: If necessary, Slave device photometric (Image Setup) parameters
must be configured separately through DL.CODE. This is preferably done
through each device’s Ethernet TCP/IP channel. If Slave devices are not
connected to Ethernet you must temporarily (manually) connect them one by
one to perform Image Setup.
