Banner PresencePLUS P4 GEO 1.3 Series - Manual (Page 120)

Use one Communication tool to:
• Export data out of one port (serial or Ethernet).
• Export identical data out of multiple ports at the same time.
Use multiple Communication tools to:
• Separate the data and export separate segments to unique external devices.
• Customize the order of the exported data.
• Export data from the Vision tools at different times during the inspection.
• Customize the “Start Strings” control characters to unique external devices.
Note: The Test tool can have the Communication tool as one of its inputs. Therefore, if a Test
tool is added after the Communication tool, a discrete output can be activated:
• If the TCP/IP connection is lost.
• If the external device fails to acknowledge it received data.
This output could contribute to an inspection Pass/Fail if it is an input to a Test tool. A Communication tool
without a Test tool will not contribute to the inspection Pass/Fail.
