the Series A and Series B versions. You can use the Series C version as
a spare or replacement module with one requirement: you must
change the postion of Switch 5 to the off or “0” position in the

the scanner is identified as Series B with major number as 4 and minor
number as 50. In Series C mode, the scanner is identified as Series C
with major number as 6 and minor number as 2 or higher.

Module Enhancements

Updated DeviceNet Master Library

Electronic Keying - added to include Major and Minor revision
checking.

Shared Inputs - multiple scanner modules can acquire the inputs
from a specific input device without using separate connections.

Auto Device Replacement (ADR) - consists of Node Recovery and
Configuration Recovery:

Node Recovery - this feature causes the node number of the
replacement device to be automatically changed to the node
number of the original device. The replacement device’s node
number must be writable over the DeviceNet network and must
initially be set to 63.

Configuration Recovery - this feature causes the replacement
device’s configuration to be made identical to the original device.
The replacement device’s configuration must be writable over the
DeviceNet network. Configuration Recovery files are stored in the
master scanner that is communicating with the original device
through RSNetWorx for DeviceNet.
