5.3  FIELDBUS CONNECTION 
 
In this layout a single reader functions as a Slave node on a Fieldbus network. The data is 
transmitted to the Host through an accessory Fieldbus interface  board installed inside the 
CBX500 connection box. 
 
Reader  configuration  can  be  accomplished  through  the  Ethernet  interface  using  the 
DL.CODE configuration program. 
 
Data can be transmitted on the RS232 auxiliary interface independently from the Fieldbus 
interface selection to monitor data. 
 
When One Shot or Phase Mode operating mode is used, the reader can be activated by an 
External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.
