Figure 43 – System Layout
The general system layout allows the SC4000 ID-NET Controller to connect a network of
readers (scanners and/or imagers), collect their information and send it to a Host over a
serial or TCP/IP or Fieldbus interface.
Generally the external system Host is connected to the SC4000 Host 1 interface. The ID-
NET interface connects to the readers network. Host 2 can be connected to a secondary
serial interface Host, monitor, etc.
The dotted lines in the figure refer to optional hardware configurations.
A portable PC can be quickly connected to the SC4000 Auxiliary port through the internal 9-
pin connector for SC4000 configuration.
An additional optional reading device, such as a Hand-Held reader, can be connected to the
25-pin connector in passthrough towards the Host. The reading device auxiliary interface
signals are also available on the internal spring clamp connectors.
After making system cabling and switch settings, switch ON the SC4000 power switch (see
Figure 14). The Power LED turns on (blue) when the power connection has the correct
polarity. The Power LED turns on (red) in case of wrong polarity.
After SC4000 configuration and system functioning has been verified, close the SC4000
using the four cover screws.
