269 Multiplexer / Server
The Multiplexer / Server group is used to configure the device as a node on a SICK net‐
work running in the multiplexer/server operating mode. A maximum of 31 devices can
be connected to a multiplexer as servers. The servers receive trigger signals for starting
and ending the reading process via their respective photoelectric switches, which are
connected to the digital input (sensor 1). This allows them to be distributed at different
positions throughout a system. The servers transmit the reading results to the multi‐
plexer, which forwards them to the PLC in the configured output format along with the
relevant server device IDs. As the servers have their own trigger sources and operate
independently of each other, the reading results are processed and forwarded in the
multiplexer in the same order that they arrive.
In the multiplexer/server operating mode, a SICK network of 32 reading devices can be
managed without auxiliary devices. This operating mode is typically used in systems
with a large number of distributed reading devices that function independently of each
other.
Wizard
Pressing the START WIZARD button launches a dialog box for fully configuring the device as
a node on a SICK network running in the multiplexer/server operating mode. The wizard
provides the parameters required for configuring the CAN interface, device network
functions, output format, output control, and object trigger control. The values you enter
in the wizard are applied to the relevant parameter groups and tabs once configuration
is complete.

Multiplexer Output
Data output can be switched on or off via the Multiplexer Output parameter.
271 Automatic Release
If the Automatic Release parameter is activated, the reading results are automatically
released by the SDO client after the upload.
If the reading results are transmitted via a service data object (SDO), the reading
results are stored in the object directory and downloaded by the SDO client. In order for
the subsequent reading result to be entered, a release process must take place after
the SDO upload. If release is automatic, the SDO client does not require an application
for release purposes. Data transmission is relatively insecure, as the process after
automatic release does not enable a repeated data request by the SDO client.
272
Name
The Name parameter can be used to specify a device name as the folder name.
273 Tilt angle
The Tilt angle parameter is used to define the tilt angle of all characters to the base
line.
This parameter increases the quality and stability of reading if the text is written at a
slight tilt angle. The maximum value must not exceed +/-5°.
