6.1 Communication
6.1.2
Use
You define the signal and communication paths in this area. For example:
● How the signals reach the reader.
● The communication path that is used to output a modified result string, if any.
Connection
In this group, you set the parameters for the connection interfaces.

Description
DI/DO
Specify the interface over which the trigger signal is sent
to the reader:
DI/DO / PROFINET IO: Enables optional triggering via
•
DI/DO or PROFINET IO. Depending on the "IP mode"
input box in the "Communication > Interfaces" menu.
CM: Trigger signal comes from a connected commu-
•
nication module
RS232 and TCP: If the string you specified in the
•
"Trigger text" input box is sent over the RS232 inter-
face or a TCP/IP connection, the reader generates a
trigger signal.
PROFINET IO; depending on the "IP mode" input box
•
in the "Communication > Interfaces" menu
8
You enter the value for debouncing.
Helpful with very fast trigger sources, for example, whose
signal is not stable.
None
Specify the interface over which the result text is output.
None: The result string is not output.
•
CM: Result string is output over the CM interface.
•
Note
The result string can only be output over CM if you
have selected the value "CM" in the "Control" drop-
down list (see below).
RS232 or TCP: The result string is output via a TCP
•
connection or via the RS-232 interface.
PROFINET IO: via PROFINET IO;
•
depending on the "IP mode" input box in the "Com-
munication > Interfaces" menu
Note
The result string can only be output over
PROFINET IO if you have selected the value
"PROFINET IO" in the "Control" drop-down list (see
below).
