Datalogic CM81 ControlNet Module Simple Type: ControlNet Controller

The CM81 ControlNet Module is a general purpose programmable interface between the controlNet network and up to two HS/HL500-Series Antennas, or as many as 32 HMS-Series Reader/Writers, RS-Series Readers or bar code scanners (or a combination of both) on a Mux32 line. The CM81 supports ControlNet with a variable mix of baud. The CM81 can be used to give a ControlNet presence to a wide range of existing equipment, such as bar code readers, RFID Controllers, bar code verifiers, sensors and switches. This programmable interface is provided with a standard program that allows ControlNet commands to control the reading and writing of a block (or non-contiguous blocks) of data, Mux32 connection status, serial inputs/outputs, and Tag fill functions. The module is based on a real-time, DOS compatible operating system providing great speed and flexibility. As many as four commands can be processed simultaneously. The CM81 is implemented as a two board set, interconnected by a stackable PC104 Connector.
