b. Station computer (Host computer)
c. Client computer
d. Network switch
e. 48V power supply
f. FireSync network cordsets
g. Other cabling: ethernet, power & encoder
2. Safety Interlock
3. Scan Frame
4. System Calibration Target
5. scan 21X5 sensor(s)
5.1 Network Components
FireSync Network devices are hardware components used to distribute power, data,
safety interlock, and synchronization information to all devices in a FireSync sensor
network. The Information and requirements for Masters, Station computers, Client
computers, Network Switches, Power, Cabling, Network configurations, can be found in
the FireSync Network Manual.
5.2 Safety Interlock
The Safety Interlock signal allows the user to turn on and off all light sources in the
sensors without disrupting power to the system. The laser safety control signal must be
provided at the Master for the sensors to properly function.
To enable the laser safety control signal apply the required voltage across the laser
/- connections, as specified in section 5.4.1 of the generation 2 Network Manual.
5.3 Scan Frame
A typical scanner arrangement is a ring of four, scan 20X5, sensors in an "X"
configuration. However, different configurations and multiple rings can be employed as
needed to suit the application.
