elongation), or by connecting the LS8000-3 gauges together in a daisy-chain
configuration (for synchronization only.)
Using the LS8000-3 I/O Module (one I/O Module per LS8000-3) easily allows
multi-channel synchronization and elongation measurement. The I/O Module
has rear panel Sync connectors that can be connected to other I/O Modules
for synchronization. For details about synchronizing multiple gauges using the
LS8000-3 I/O Module, refer to the LS8000-3 I/O Module Instruction Handbook.
For details about how to connect multiple LaserSpeed gauges together for
synchronization, see the
Gauge-Gauge Synchronization section.
When two or more systems are synchronized, the speed data is synchronous,
although there will be minor variations in the actual output times from one I/O
Module to the next. This means that all processors sample over exactly the
same time period, but due to minute differences in internal processing times,
the output from each processor may arrive a few microseconds earlier or later
than the outputs of the other I/O Modules.
M12 Ethernet Connector
The LS8000-3 Ethernet Connector is a Female, M12, D-Coded Ethernet
connector compatible with most industrial Ethernet patch cables.
LS8000-3 M12 Connector Pinout
Pin Description
1 Ethernet TX+ (from LS8000-3 to host/switch)
2 Ethernet RX+ (from host/switch to LS8000-3)
3 Ethernet TX- (from LS8000-3 to host/switch)
4 Ethernet RX- (from host/switch to LS8000-3)
Beta LaserMike offers a variety of Ethernet cables that can be used to connect
the LS8000-3 to any RJ-45 network jack. Please see the Ethernet Cables
section for a list. To connect directly to a computer, without using an Ethernet
hub or switch, you must use a crossover patch cable.
Please see the Ethernet Communication section for details about the LS8000-
3's Ethernet communication protocol.
