AccuLazr™ AL5010 Product Line Manual Appendix D: Networking Guide AL5010 Networking Guide Introduction The AL5010 bar code reader includes a built-in Ethernet interface that can be used both for receiving bar code data from the AL5010 as well as monitoring and configuring the AL5010. AL5010 Ethernet Hardware Configuration The AL5010 Ethernet hardware supports a 10/100mbps full or half-duplex Ethernet link. (Wiring information is provided in Chapter 4 and Appendix F.
188 AccuLazr™ AL5010 Product Line Manual Appendix D: Networking Guide Controller/Client Communications Up to fourteen (14) AL5010s can be configured to operate together as a single unit. All communications between readers is accomplished over an Ethernet network. In this configuration, one AL5010 must be set up as a Controller. The Controller initiates connections with the remaining readers, configuring them to operate as Clients.
AccuLazr™ AL5010 Product Line Manual Appendix D: Networking Guide When using Controller/Client configuration, the client Tach Source must be set to Constant/Internal. The Clients will rely on a speed message sent from the Controller eliminating the need to provide a tachometer input to the clients. In an AL5010 multi-reader network, bar codes are sent from the clients to the controller as soon as they are read. The Controller AL5010 is responsible for transmitting the bar code data to the host.
190 AccuLazr™ AL5010 Product Line Manual Appendix D: Networking Guide Network Host Communications The AL5010 provides a number of options for transmitted bar code to another computer (typically referred to as the “host”). Additionally, two host network connections are supported each with different message definition and formatting. These connections use ports 3001 and 3002 by default, but these values are modifiable. TCP/IP Server Operation as a TCP/IP server is the default configuration for the AL5010.
AccuLazr™ AL5010 Product Line Manual Appendix D: Networking Guide TCP/IP Client It is also possible to configure the AL5010 to operate as a TCP/IP Client. In this case, you must also specify the IP address of the computer to which the AL5010 is to attempt to initiate a connection. If a connection cannot be established, the AL5010 will reattempt the connection after the specified number of seconds (default is 5 seconds).
192 AccuLazr™ AL5010 Product Line Manual Appendix D: Networking Guide EtherNet/IP The AL5010 supports the EtherNet/IP™ Industrial Networking protocol. EtherNet/IP™ simplifies the communication of bar code and input/output data with other EtherNet/IP enabled devices, such as a programmable controller. EtherNet/IP is not enabled by default on the AL5010. To enable, select EtherNet/IP as the Connect Type for Net Host Port 1 on the Network Settings page of the user interface.
AccuLazr™ AL5010 Product Line Manual Appendix D: Networking Guide EtherNet/IP Options When EtherNet/IP is enabled, a new tab become available within AccuLazr user interface that allow you to configure some additional options. These parameters are described in more detail earlier in this manual, but a quick overview provides some context here. (See Chapter 5.) The Bar Code Data parameters allow you to manipulate the format of the bar code data.
194 Appendix D: Networking Guide AccuLazr™ AL5010 Product Line Manual Explicit Messaging Example Used for communication between AL5010 and a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Contact Accu-Sort support at 1-800-BAR-CODE (1-800-227-2633) for help with your specific application. Accu-Sort Systems, Inc. A4-AL5010_Networking_Guide_R20.
AccuLazr™ AL5010 Product Line Manual Appendix D: Networking Guide I/O Messaging Example The following example illustrates how an AL5010 can be configured to communicate with a ControlLogix processor using I/O messaging. Utilizing this information along with the AL5010 Object definitions (on page B-19), it should be possible to adapt these directions for other EtherNet/IP devices. When EtherNet/IP is enabled on the AL5010, EtherNet/IP I/O Messaging is automatically enabled.
196 Appendix D: Networking Guide AccuLazr™ AL5010 Product Line Manual NOTE: You can only “schedule” I/O message transfers to the AL5010 at a fixed interval. The Connection Tab allows you to specify this interval. The AL5010 will handle intervals down to 10 milliseconds. However, intervals this small may affect the overall AL5010 performance.

This field is updated every time the bar code data is updated.
198 Appendix D: Networking Guide AccuLazr™ AL5010 Product Line Manual On-Demand Messaging (ControlLogix) On-Demand messaging provides another option for transferring bar code data to your ControlLogix processor. With on-demand messaging, the data transfer occurs as soon as the bar code data is available, not as the result of constant messaging at a schedule interval. Typically, On-Demand messaging is used in conjunction with I/O messaging.
