Synchronized Leader Follower

In synchronized leader-follower use cases, the leader receives a trigger, activates the follower devices, receives the data from the followers, and sends the results to the host.
Examples:
  • Multi-sided reading of parcels.
  • Multi-point reading of barcodes on a tire rim (overhead view only).
Leader Input:
  • Generic:
    • GPIO Trigger
  • From Follower:
    • Results:
Leader Output:
  • To Host:
    • TCPIP
    • Industrial Communication
    • Serial
    • USB HID
  • To Follower:
    • Trigger
  • To Machine/PLC:
    • Total Result String
    • Total Pass/Fail GPIO
Functionalities:
  • Enable synchronous triggers from leader to follower devices.
  • Recieve results from follower devices and apply pass/fail criteria.
  • Send result data to the host, GPIO, or PLC.
