DX8200 Controller Master interprets data from each scanner and performs the correct
barcode assignment to the parcel using the PackTrack™
operating mode.
External devices such as a presence sensor and an encoder are all connected to the
DX8200 Controller, which is also connected to a Host PC.
A single DX8200 Controller provides a Lonworks communication line having up to 5
*
scanners. The last scanner requires the termination connector BTK-8000. The maximum
allowable length for the entire bus cabling is 65 m.

The maximum number of scanners on the Lonworks cluster is 6 (1 DX8200 cont 5 slaves). Positive environmental
conditions (i.e reduced number of barcodes, conveyor speed, reading area dimensions…) to be evaluated case by case, may
further increase the number of slaves up to the theoretical limit of 13.
