Configuring the Scanner through LIST

Chapter 2

2-3

To configure channels 1 through 4, you select the following parameters:

communication rate (bps) (page 2-3)
operating mode (page 2-4)
auto configuration (page 2-4)
reconfiguration (page 2-5)
I/O scan configuration (page 2-6)
peer-to-peer master configuration (page 2-8)
peer-to-peer slave configuration (page 2-8)
backup communication configuration (page 2-9)
DH or DH+ configuration (channel 4 only) (page 2-10)

Communication Rate

You can select one of the following communication rates for the
corresponding communication channel:

If you select:

Then the maximum I/O channel cable length can be:

57.6 kbps

10,000 feet

115.2 kbps

5,000 feet

230.4 kbps

2,000 feet

Important: If you are configuring channel 4, note the following:

You must set the protocol switches for LIST configurable for the

scanner to modify this selection.

For DH communication, the scanner communicates at 57.6 kbps only.

For DH+ communication, the scanner communicates at 57.6 kbps or

115.2 kbps. Not all DH+ stations are capable of operating above 57.6
kbps. You must reference the appropriate users manual for the
maximum communication rate for each device.

ATTENTION: Channel 4 cannot be configured for DH or DH+
when operating any of the other communication channels at
230.4 kbps. Otherwise, I/O rack retries and missing inputs in a
listen only mode backup system can result.
