2.6.3 Multiplexer
Each scanner is connected to a Multiplexer (for example MX4000) with the RS485
half-duplex main interface.
RS485 HD Main Interface
RS232 Auxiliary Interface (Local Echo)
External Trigger (for On-Line mode)
Figure 19 - Multiplexer Layout
The auxiliary serial interface can be used in Local Echo mode to control any single
scanner (visualize collected data) or to configure it using the WinHost utility or Host
Mode programming procedure.
When On-Line Operating mode is used, the scanner is activated by an External
Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.
