CHAPTER 1:
GETTING STARTED
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the GWY-01-DNT-01 Operator’s Manual. This manual will assist you in
the installation, configuration and operation of Escort Memory Systems’ Subnet16
DeviceNet Gateway Interface Module.
The DeviceNet Gateway can control up to 16 passive high frequency read/write
Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) controllers. In order to meet and exceed the
requirements of the industrial automation industry, the DeviceNet Gateway and EMS
RFID controllers are designed to be compact, reliable and rugged.
1.1.1 The Subnet16™ Gateway
Subnet16™ is a 16-Node Multidrop bus architecture and protocol that provides
connectivity for up to 16 RFID controllers through a single Gateway device.
The DeviceNet Gateway supports DeviceNet standards and is compatible with EMS’
C-Series and Cobalt HF-Series RFID controllers, LRP, HMS and T-Series RFID tags.
Many of EMS’ legacy RFID controllers with MUX32™ capability are also compatible
with the Gateway.
