Product Description
2.1
Use and Application
The
WCS-EIG410
interface module acts as an interface between the WCS read head and the
EtherNet/IP controller. Data is transferred between the WCS read head and the interface mod-
ule via an RS-485 interface. The data from the interface module to the controller is transferred
via the EtherNet/IP protocol.
You can connect a maximum of four LS221 (and/or LS121) WCS read heads to one WCS-
EIG410 interface module. If you connect several WCS read heads, they must have different
addresses. The number of connected WCS read heads is configured in the hardware project
planning.
The interface module supports the operation of read heads with the Extended option (WCS3B-
LS*E*), with distances of up to 629 meters.
