Pass-Through

Pass-through mode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single external 
serial interface.

Each VB14A transmits the messages received by the Auxiliary interface onto the 
main interface. All messages will be passed through this chain to the host. 

When On-Line Operating mode is used, the scanner is activated by an External 
Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

The Main and Auxiliary ports are connected as shown in the following figure:
