Chapter 1 Introduction
Description
The Industrial/EasyLAN 100i interface kit makes it possible to
provide an EasyCoder 501 XP or 601 XP with both an Indus-
trial interface and an Ethernet interface.
The Industrial interface contains eight IN and eight OUT digi-
tal ports with optocouplers, plus four OUT ports with relays.
The status of the ports can be read using PORTIN functions
and the OUT ports can be set using PORTOUT ON/OFF state-
ments (see Intermec Fingerprint v7.60, Reference Manual).
Thus, it is possible to deign Intermec Fingerprint programs
which control not only the printer but also various external
devices in, for example, a production line. The digital IN ports
can read the status off various sensors and the program can
switch control lamps on or off, open or close gates, and start or
stop conveyor belts accordingly using the relays and the digital
OUT ports. Note that this version of the Industrial Interface
Board has no serial port.
In addition to the Industrial interface, an EasyCoder 501 XP or
601 XP can be fi tted with an EasyLAN 100i Ethernet interface.
The EasyLAN 100i interface board provides you with the most
advanced network management capabilities ever offered. The
EasyLAN 100i interface is designed to accommodate your
network. With the most robust network systems support ever
