scanCONTROL 25xx
5.2.3
RS422, Synchronization
Connector
.
The scanCONTROL 25xx sensor has a RS422 port according to EIA standards, which can be parameterized
as input or output via software.
The RS422 port can be used to synchronize multiple sensors with each other, triggering or measured value
output (for example Modbus).
The internal terminating resistor (termination R
T
= 120 Ohm, see
) can be activated or switched off via
software. The signals must be operated symmetrically according to the RS422 standard. Primarily use RS422
driver circuits or converters. Alternatively use devices with RS422 connectors, e.g. sensors or PLC‘s.
The RS422 port is galvanically isolated from GND and Laser on/off, but not from GND-In1 ... 3. When used
one of the GND-In1 ... 3 should connected to the GND of the remote station in order to avoid potential differ-
ences.

supports Power over
Ethernet. If the sen-
sor 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.
