2.8 OPERATING
MODES
With the C-BOX 3X0, three operating modes are possible:
Normal Operation:
Once the connection procedure is completed (the warning LED
is OFF), the C-BOX 3X0 is ready to receive code strings from the scanner's RS232
main interface. Then, it converts them to the Profibus DP network.
GET/TEST/SEND:
Through the C-BOX 300 internal buttons and the C-BOX 310
external keypad, it is possible to communicate with the scanner to perform one of the
following functions:
•
Get scanner configuration
•
Force the scanner in TEST mode
•
Send a configuration to the scanner
At the end of each function the scanner returns to the previous operating mode.
Configuration (CFG):
When the CFG switch is in CFG position (left) it is possible to
configure the C-BOX 3X0 parameters.
