1. Set BL Series , SR Series, and RL Series devices
Use the BL/BL 210 Series AutoID Navigator software to change the settings on BL/SR/RF
Series devices. This requires preparing the BL/SR/RF Series devices, the communication unit
for an RS-232C (N-R2, BL-U1, BL-U2 or NX-50S), an RS-232C cable for changing BL/SR/RF
settings and a computer.
Refer to the user’s manual for each device for more information making settings and
connections.
The necessary settings vary greatly depending on the mode being used. Refer to the following
pages.
• Multi-drop Link mode
• Multi-head mode
2. Set the N-410
Use AutoID Navigator and the N-410, RS-232C cable for the N-410 and the computer to make
the settings. For more information on using AutoID Navigator,
refer to the "AutoID
Navigator User's Manual".
The necessary settings vary depending on the mode being used. Refer to the following pages.
• Multi-drop Link mode
• Multi-head mode
• PLC link
3. Set the host computer and PLC control
Change the settings for baud rate, data bits and stop bit length to match the RS-232C side of
the N-410 settings.
When using a PLC link, refer to
"7-3 Settings" (Page 7-13) , then make the settings.
4. Connect BL/SR/RF Series devices to the N-410
First, connect a the BL/SR/RF Series device to a dedicated communication unit (N-R4, N-48,
BL-U1 or NX-50RS).
Then connect the communication unit to the N-410 with the specified cable, (RS-485, twist
pair). Set the terminator settings on both devices to on.
When using a BL-U1, be sure to set the dipswitch to "RS-485".
5. Connect the N-410 to the host computer or the PLC
Be sure that the RS-232C cable you are using has a pin layout compatible with your PLC or
host computer.
6. Confirm that the N-410 and BL/SR/RF Series devices are correctly connected by RS-485
The connection test mode will confirm if the N-410 and RS-485 are connected correctly and if
the AutoID Navigator is set correctly. Use it to confirm that the RS-485 connection is set up
correctly. Refer to
"2-7 How to Use the Connection Confirmation Test" (Page 2-31) for more
information.
7. Connect the trigger sensor
Connect one trigger sensor for each power source.
(This is not necessary if reading operation is controlled by reading start and stop commands)
When used in multi-head mode, one trigger device is required for the N-410.
(This is not necessary if reading operation is controlled by reading start and stop commands)
Multi-head mode will not operate properly if a trigger sensor is connected to anything other than the
N-410.
