Microscan MS5000 Scanner

The MS5000 serves as a data collector and manager for automatic ID networks. The scanner can poll up to 50 devices including scanners and decoders, over an RS-485 multidrop network. Like all of Microscan's products, the MS5000 multidrop concentrator offers simple, menu-driven configuration firmware making it simple to integrate with a host computer, PLC, or other I/O device. The MS5000 can handle data flow transmission rates up to 38.4k baud. If needed, several MS5000 concentrators can be cascaded to poll more than 50 devices. The MS5000 operates well as a data flow manager for any multidrop application using scanners, decoders, printers, or other devices.
