Shielded cables are recommended. The overall maximum cable length must be less than 15 m (49.2 ft).
RS422 Full-Duplex Interface
The RS422 full-duplex (5 wires + shield) interface is used for non-polled communication protocols in point-to-point
connections over longer distances (maximum 1200 m / 3940 ft) than those acceptable for RS232 communications or in
electrically noisy environments.

signals), do not leave these lines floating but connect them to SGND.

3.8.4 Inputs
There are two opto-isolated, polarity insensitive inputs available through the TCNM-ACBB1 that require PNP input signals
to use with an ABR 3000: Input 1 (External Trigger) and Input 2, a generic input.
The External Trigger can be used in One Shot Mode or in Phase Mode. Its main functions are:
• Acquisition trigger in One Shot Mode
• Reading phase-ON/reading phase-OFF command in Phase Mode
The main functions of the general purpose Input 2 are:
• Second external trigger in Phase Mode
• Match code storage command when the Match Code option is enabled
The electrical features of both inputs are:
V
AB
= 30 V dc maximum
I
IN
= 10 mA (reader) + 12 mA (TCNM-ACBB1) maximum
The active state of these inputs are selected in software.
An anti-disturbance filter, by default, is implemented in software on both inputs. The value can be changed through the
software parameter Debounce Filter. See the Help On Line page of the Reading Phase step (Inputs) in Barcode Manager for
further details on these parameters.
