Multi P.S. (This system configuration will be available soon).
In this layout, up to 7 DS6500 slave readers have their own P.S. and therefore multiple
reading phases, while the P.S. activating the master reader is managed by the C-BOX 100.
The master sends all the individual messages collected from the multidrop line as well as its
own to the C-BOX 100 which passes them to the Local Host.
The following image shows a system consisting of four readers, where the fourth one must
be connected to a dedicated power supply by means of a C-BOX 100, since a single
C-BOX 100 can supply groups consisting of maximum 3 readers. This means that the cable
(CAB611X) connecting two different groups, in this case the cable connecting Slave 2and
Slave 3, does not propagate power.

2.7.6 Fieldbus
Network
The Fieldbus (Ethernet, Profibus and DeviceNet) model offers connectivity without any
converter or adapter needed.
The DS6500 master Fieldbus communicates with a remote host (for ex. remote PC
connected via Internet) by means of a cable connected to the Fieldbus (Ethernet, Profibus or
DeviceNet) connector provided.
The local Lonworks 9-pin female connector connects the Fieldbus master reader to the first
slave reader of the system, while the 26 D-sub male connector may be connected to the
C-BOX 100 to supply the reader.
The slave readers (DS6500 master/slave models) are connected together through the local
Lonworks connectors. Only the 9-pin female connector of the last slave reader must be
terminated by the BTK-6000 terminator. No terminator must be inserted in the Fieldbus
master reader, since it is internally integrated.
