DS6300 REFERENCE MANUAL5055.1 NETWORK TERMINATIONWhen building a Lonworks system the network must be properly terminated by positioningthe BT-6000 Lonworks terminator in the DS6300 master reader and in the last DS6300 slavereader.Each side of the terminator provides a different connector; thus, it can be inserted either intothe Lonworks 9-pin male connector of the master reader or in the Lonworks 9-pin femaleconnector of the last slave reader:Figure 70 - BT-6000 Network TerminatorNOTEFor Fieldbus models (Ethernet, DeviceNet, or Profibus), no terminator mustbe inserted in the reader, since it is internally integrated.5.2 LONWORKS INTERFACEThe Lonworks network is used for both input and output connection to build a multi-sided oromni-station system connecting several readers.The DS6300 master usually employs the 9-pin female connector for output connection to thefirst slave, while the 9-pin male connector is terminated by inserting the BT-6000 terminator(see Figure 70 for details). If creating a T-network configuration, it is necessary to use bothconnectors to create the double branch line of slave readers.Both connectors are always employed when connecting together the slave readers. Inparticular, the 9-pin female connector is used for output connection and the male one forinput connection. The female connector in the last slave reader is terminated by the BT-6000to close the system network.Slave MasterFemaleMaleFemale Male
