TYPICAL LAYOUTS7555.4 BUILT-IN PROFINET-IO NETWORKSThe PROFINET-IO interface is used to collect data from several readers to build a multi-pointor a multi-sided reading system; there can be one PROFINET-IO Controller (Host) and up to255 PROFINET-IO Devices (Scanners) connected together in the same subnetwork.Before proceeding with the connection, it is necessary to configure the scanner. This can bedone via Genius through the Ethernet socket. For further details see par. 2.10. Once aconnection is established, the scanner can also be configured by sending Host Modeprogramming strings from the PLC, see the 5K Host Mode Programming Manuals.5.4.1 Multi Station Layout with Single Port Scanners(x3xx models)One or more DS5100-x3xx model scanners can be connected to the network by using CAB-ETH-M0x cables connected to a Certified PROFINET-IO Switch or PLC. Every scanner musthave its own unique Station Name (see Profinet-IO Line Parameters in Help On Line).For a Multi Station layout each scanner independently receives the Trigger signal (TriggerInput from presence sensor, Input from Fieldbus Host, or Serial Start/Stop from FieldbusHost) and each scanner sends its message to the Host.In the example below, Power and an External Trigger are brought to each scanner through aCBX connection box using the CAB-DS0x-S cables.Figure 56 – PROFINET-IO Multi Station Layout (Single Port Models) PROFINET-IO Interface External Trigger (for On Line Mode)CBXScannerHOSTCertifiedPROFINET-IOSwitchPowerCAB-ETH-M0xCAB-DSxx-SScanner Scanner12CAB-ETH-M0x CAB-ETH-M0x
