ID-NET™ M/S Multidata: Multiple stations – single reader
ID-NET™ interface allows connection of readers reading objects placed on independent
conveyors. All readers are typically located far away from each other and they use a
dedicated presence sensor.
At the end of each reading phase, each reader transmits its own data message to the host.
Thanks to ID-NET™, data collection among readers is accomplished at a high speed without
the need of an external multiplexing device. This leads to an overall cost reduction and to a
simple system wiring.
2.3.1 How To Setup/Configure the Reader Network
A complete ID-NET™ reader network can be easily setup through VisiSet™ as follows:
Mounting & Connection
1. Mechanically mount/install all the readers (refer to par. 3.2 and 3.3).
2. Wire ID-NET™ (refer to par. 4.3 or Error! Reference source not found.).
3. Power up the entire system.
Configuration of Slaves
1. Connect a PC equipped with VisiSet™ to the Main, Auxiliary or Ethernet interface of the
planned Slave reader.
2. Launch VisiSet™ and connect to the Slave reader.
3. From the VisiSet™ Device Menu select "Parameter Setup".
4. Set the Role of the Slave reader (Synchronized or Multidata) from the
Reading System Layout > Device Network Setting > Topology Role parameter.
5. Set the Slave Address according to the desired value 1-31 from the
Reading System Layout > Device Network Setting > Slave Address parameter. Each
reader must have a different Address on the ID-NET™ Network.
