Notes on cable connections
Observe the followings to prevent the cables from melting down.
•
Use the untwisted cables for connections.
•
Avoid soldering cable cores; otherwise, vibration may cut off the cables.
•
Do not apply load on the cables after making cable connections.
Making cable connections with multiple main units
If you control multiple main units with one host (including PLC and PC), use the
RS-232C-to-RS485/RS485-to-RS232C (commercially available) conversion adapter. In this case, up to 31
main units can be connected to one host (max. transmission distance: 1200m). Assign device numbers
(unit number) 0 and 1 – 31 to the host and main units respectively.
Assign the device number (unit number) when the LightPixAE20 is in CONFIGURATION mode.
Refer to Section 4, "Inspection Applications".
