Installation and Mounting
scanCONTROL 30xx
We recommend the Gigabit-Ethernet connection cable SCR3000A-x for the Ethernet connection; cable length x in meters. Characteris-
tics: 4 x 2 x 0.14 mm²; shielded.
Due to a high data rate, we recommend using a high-quality Ethernet PC plug-in card, for example IntelPro/1000 PT. The sensors are
to be preferably connected directly to the network connection or by means of a high-quality switch. As a hub would result in a massive
data collision it cannot be used. The PC should have one or more network cards only for the sensors.
The operation of the sensor via Ethernet does not require any driver installation. However, the network settings have to be done cor-
rectly:
- If more network cards are used, they have to belong to different networks, for example different Class-C-sub networks, however
they may not belong to the same Class-B sub network.
- The sensor supports an automatically, sensor-adapted IP address in the link-local-net (169.254.x.x). No collision testing is effected.
- The sensor supports the DHCP protocol. This setting is activated by default and has priority over the retrieval in the link-local-net.
- A fixed IP address can be given.
- Various network settings can interfere the connection to the sensor (for example Firewall or packet filter).
- We recommend using a packet size of 1024 bytes/packet (payload), because network components support such packages by
default. The sensor supports jumbo frames up to 4096 bytes/packet (payload), but then all the network components must also sup-
port jumbo frames of this size. The uncompressed sensor array view can only be used with activated jumbo frames.
scanCONTROL 30xx supports Power over Ethernet acc. to IEEE 802.3af Klasse 2. If the sensor is connected to
a network adapter/switch that is capable of POE and if you also use the power supply of the multifunction port,
these two power supplies have to be galvanically isolated.
