2.5.6 Fieldbus Network
The Fieldbus Ethernet model offers connectivity without any converter or adapter needed.
The DX6400 master Fieldbus communicates with a remote host (for ex. remote PC
connected via Internet) by means of a cable connected to the Fieldbus connector provided. It
can be activated by a signal generated by the remote Host or by a physical presence sensor.
The external signals (trigger, encoder) are connected to the master through the C-BOX 100.
The master reader connects to the first slave reader of the system through the local
Lonworks 9-pin female connector. Fieldbus models are provided with an internal Lonworks
terminator.
The slave readers are connected together through the local Lonworks connectors. Only the
9-pin female connector of the last slave reader must be terminated by the BTK-6000
terminator.
The example below shows a system powered by the PWR-240 where multiple slaves are
connected through CAB-63XX power cable. The master and all slaves are connected
together through the CAB-610X cables.
The same network layouts are available as for the DX6400 standard model.
