3 Installation Instructions

3.1 Handling

Proper handling ensures that the ABR will function correctly. The ABR is designed for use in an industrial environment. It is built to withstand vibration and shock when correctly

installed. However, it is also a precision product and before and during installation it must be handled properly to avoid damage.

•

Do not drop the device (exceeding shock limits)

• Do not ﬁne tune the positioning by striking the device or the bracket

•

Do not weld the device into position; this can cause electrostatic, heat, or reading window damage

• Do not spray paint near the reader; this can cause reading window damage

3.2 Set the Focus

The reader is factory-calibrated at three focus positions (45 mm, 70 mm, and 125 mm for WVGA models; 45 mm, 80 mm, and 125 mm for 1.2 MP models). The focus range is continuous to provide can select a focus position different than these three positions.

1. Determine the focus position needed for your application. The following tables show the reading ranges at the three focus positions for Code 128 (1D) and Data Matrix (2D) 10 mil resolution codes.

Table 2: WVGA Models

Focus Position (mm) Horizontal Field of View

3.3 Mount the Reader

Note: Mount the device at a 10° to 15° angle from the target to avoid direct reﬂections.

1. If a bracket is needed, mount the device onto the bracket. Mount the device (or the device and the bracket) to the machine or equipment at the desired location. Do not tighten

2. the mounting screws at this time.

3. Check the device alignment. Tighten the mounting screws to secure the device (or the device and the bracket) in the aligned position.

3.4 Position the Reader

The ABR is able to decode code labels at a variety of angles; however signiﬁcant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.

When mounting the ABR, consider these ideal label position angles: Pitch or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°. The reader can read a code at any tilt angle provided the code ﬁts into the Field Of View (FOV).

Note: Because the ABR is omni-directional on the code plane, the Pitch and Skew angles have the same

signiﬁcance

performance can be improved by modifying the Skew angle.

The Pitch, Skew and Tilt angles are represented in the following ﬁgure.

with respect to the code plane. However in some advanced code reading applications

Use the follow the suggestions for the best orientation:

See

Figure 7. Code Reading Orientation—Pitch, Tilt, and Skew Angles

• Position the reader to avoid the direct for the Skew angle

• Use a Pitch or Skew angle of 0° in some cases, such as low contrast or low illumination

• Align the reader to ﬁt linear barcodes into the horizontal FOV for best performance (because linear barcodes are rectangular). The ABR can read labels with any tilt angle.

When using a Local Area Network (LAN), one or more ABR readers can be connected to the network using STP-M12D-4xx cables.

3.6.2 Serial or I/O Connections on USB Models

The CSB-M121701USB02M121702 accessory Y-cable allows the USB interface to be used with input/output signals between the ABR 3000 reader and the I/O devices.

To connect the system in a Serial point-to-point conﬁguration using a connection box, you need the hardware indicated in

Figure 13

ABR power and I/O device connections take place through the TCNM-ACBB1 connection box using the MQDEC-1703SSDB25 accessory cable.

If a connection box is not used, the MQDEC-1703SS-DB25 cable could be replaced with a MQDC2S-17xx cable to wire to the I/O devices directly. In this case the I/O will be referenced to ground, which is connected to both the USB and I/O side of the Y connector.

When One Shot or Phase Mode operating mode is used, the reader can be activated by an External Trigger (for example a pulse from a photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

on page 13. In this layout, the data is transmitted to the Host from the ABR main serial interface.

Figure 13. Serial Interface Point-to-Point Layout for USB Models

All devices always support multiple output channels (that is, for data monitoring).

3.6.3 Pass-Through

The pass-through layout allows each device working alone, to collect data from one or more pass-through input channels and send this data plus its own on one or more different output channels.

In this way independent devices can be connected together in combinations to create multi device networks. Many devices reading independently can send their messages through a common output channel which instead of being directed at a Host can be collected by another device on its pass-through input channel and sent to a Host on a different output channel.

In a Pass-through layout each device supports multiple pass-through conﬁgurations to accept input from different devices on different channels (middle reader, above). However, readers are not required to have a pass-through conﬁguration if they

don’t need to receive data from an input channel (right reader, above). The overall data collection device always has at least one pass-through conﬁguration to collect the input data from the other devices and send it to the Host (left reader, above).

All devices always support multiple output channels (that is, for data monitoring). In a Pass-through layout each device can have a different operating mode: Continuous, One Shot, Phase Mode, etc.

If using a TCNM-ACBB1 connection box, connect the reader using cable MQDEC-1703SS-DB25 and for wiring details, see

TCNM-ACBB1 Electrical Connections

For Ethernet models, use Cat 5e or superior M12 D-code cables, such as STP-M12D-4xx. To meet EMC requirements:

• Connect the reader chassis to the plant earth ground by means of a ﬂat copper braid shorter than 100 mm

•

Conect pin "Earth" of the TCNM-ACBB1 connection box to a good earth ground

If using the USB interface without Banner accessory cables, EMC compliance requires USB data and power signals to originate from the same

source (computer). Maximum USB cable length from M12 17-pin connector is 2 meters. Incorrect disconnection can result in damage to the USB hub.

3.8 TCNM-ACBB1 Electrical Connections

All ABR models can be connected to a TCNM-ACBB1 connection box through the MQDEC-1703SS-DB25 accessory cable. This cable terminates in an M12 17- pin connector on the ABR side and in a 25-pin male D-sub connector on the TCNMACBB1 side.

Make system connections through one of the TCNM-ACBB1 connection boxes because they offer the advantages of easy connection, easy device replacement, opto-isolated outputs (Outputs 1 and 2), and ﬁltered reference signals.

Use this pinout only when the ABR is connected to the TCNM-ACBB1 by means of the MQDEC-1703SS-DB25 accessory cable.

When using a TCNM-ACBB1 with an ABR 3000:

•

The Input setting Line Type must be set to PNP

• The Trigger and Input 2 indicator LED's are not functional in the TCNM-ACBB1 box

• Any input signals to the TCNM-ACBB1 must be PNP current sourcing signals

6.5.1 USB-HID (Keyboard Wedge) Conﬁgurations

The ABR 3000 USB interface allows the reader to be used as a USB-HID device (virtual keyboard) otherwise known as a keyboard wedge.

In this conﬁguration, code reading input from the ABR is sent directly to the application running on the PC as if it was typed from the PC keyboard. This is typically used in data entry programs.

To assure the input is correctly interpreted, the ABR reader must be aligned with the keyboard type. This is done through Device > Settings > Settings > Maintenance Settings. Select your keyboard from the dropdown list.

The USB-HID interface is an ABR Output only channel and is conﬁgured through the Data Formatting page. Correctly set the Header and Terminator parameters depending on the requirements of the application running on the PC. Typically, the Good Read message is transmitted, the No Read message is not transmitted, and Multiple Reads need to be

8 Industrial Ethernet Overview

The ABR reader can be monitored and controlled using Industrial Ethernet protocols (EtherNet/IP or Modbus/TCP). On the monitoring side, the ABR makes the barcode data output string conﬁgured or HMI along with eight user-deﬁned output bits. These output bits can be conﬁgured to report the current status of the ABR, including Good Read, No Read, etc. or to report the status of an input bit.

Control of the ABR using Industrial Ethernet is possible using eight user-deﬁned input bits. These can be conﬁgured as Reading Phase On, Reading Phase Off, Acquisition Trigger, or they can control an output bit.

Input command strings cannot be sent to the ABR using Industrial Ethernet, but trigger and Host Mode Programming commands can be sent to the TCP server channel by a socket connection.

ABR 3000 Series Barcode Reader

Item Data Size

The Item Data Size is the total size of the Item Data. If the Item Data Size is greater than 128 characters, fragmentation is used (see the fragmentation example in

Example of Message Transmissions in Action

on page 55).

Input Bits

The Input Bits attribute is a bitmap used to read the state of the 8 discrete inputs from the ABR reader.

Failure Code

The Failure Code is set when an error occurs with the reader. The following is a table of Failure Codes:

Failure Code Name

0×01 Input Failure

0×02 Communications Failure

0×04 Reader Failure

0×08 Software Error

0×10 Remote Failure

Fragment Sequence Number

The Fragment Sequence Number is set to 1 on the ﬁrst fragment of the latest Item Data transmission, when the Item Sequence Number increments up by 1. The Fragment Sequence Number is incremented by 1 on every new fragment. If fragmentation is not used, this value is ﬁxed at 1. This value will only increment when the Last Fragment Sequence Number is set to match the current Fragment Sequence Number, to report that the PLC is ready for the next data. The value is only equal to 0 immediately after a power-up, before the ﬁrst message is sent.

Fragment Data Size

The Fragment Data Size is the length of the data (in bytes) stored in the Fragment Data attribute. If fragmentation is used, this value equals 128 until the last fragment.

Fragment Data

This attribute stores the Fragment Data, which are the output messages from the ABR. If the Item Data Size is less than 128, this attribute stores the complete Item Data. If the Item Data Size is greater than 128, this attribute stores the individual fragments of data.

Example of Message Transmissions in Action

The following is an example of how a PLC receives two Items, one 100 bytes, and the next one 800 bytes, exactly as is done automatically in the I/O Data Add On Instruction (AOI) available on same whether two reading attempts completed in quick succession before the PLC ﬁnished reading the ﬁrst result, or whether they happened with a long period of time in between.

Requested Packet Interval (RPI) Value

The ABR reader can operate with Requested Packet Intervals between 2 and 3200 milliseconds. The default set in the EDS

ﬁle

is 50 milliseconds. Setting this value faster than needed may hurt reading performance. If your message strings are over 128 bytes, it will take multiple packet intervals to transfer the message in 128 byte fragments. At the default 50 milliseconds setting, a 300 byte message string would take 100 milliseconds to 150 milliseconds to transfer completely.

8.2.2 Conﬁguring the ABR for Ethernet/IP in Barcode Manager

After Ethernet/IP is added to a conﬁguration’s protocols (see there is an option to conﬁgure settings speciﬁc to this protocol. Click Ethernet/IP in the left side Conﬁguration panel, and select the desired option under Keep Read Item in the right side Control panel.

Figure 65. Keep Read Item

Keep Read Item allows managing the last code read and placed in the output buffer towards the EtherNet/IP host, in cases of re-connections to the network. The default setting will likely work for most applications. The options are:

• Keep Always—After the last code in the output buffer is read by the EtherNet/IP server manager (host), it remains in the output buffer.

• Discard After Connection (default setting)—After the last code in the output buffer is read by the EtherNet/IP server manager (host), it remains in the output buffer until the connection ends, then it is deleted. In this way it will not be re-read by the same host (or any host) in case of a re-connection.

• Discard After Read—After the last code in the output buffer is read by the EtherNet/IP server manager (host), it is deleted from the output buffer. In this way it will not be re-read by the same host (or any host) in case of a reconnection.

When there is more than one code in the output buffer, the EtherNet/IP protocol requires that each code read by the host be deleted and replaced by the next code in the output buffer.

Figure 89. AOI Data Tags

8.2.6 AOI Data Description

The AOI’s data, all contained in one User-Deﬁned data type (UDT) tag array, contains the data tags described in the following sections.

InputBitsFromABR

The Input Bits tag is a bitmap used to read the state of the 8 discrete inputs from the ABR reader. These should update live to always show the latest result, even if the PLC is not caught up at transferring all the result messages.

OutputBitsToABR

The Output Bits attribute is a bitmap used to control the state of the 8 discrete outputs to the ABR reader. This can be used to trigger the reader by setting to 1 the bit ABR1_Tags.OutputBitsToABR.0, for example, as described in

Reading Phase Control

on page 48.

ItemStatus

The Item Status Code is the status of the last reading attempt and is always updated live regardless of whether the PLC has ﬁnished receiving all the fragments of the previous message. The following table shows the status codes and their meanings.

Item Status Code Item Status Name

0×0000 Good Read

0×0001 Complete, No Read

0×0002 Partial Read

0×0003 Multiple Read

FailureCode

The Failure Code is set when an error occurs with the reader. The following is a table of Failure Codes:

Failure Code Name

0×01 Input Failure

0×02 Communications Failure

0×04 Reader Failure

0×08 Software Error

0×10 Remote Failure

LastItemSeqNumber

LastItemDataSize

The Last Item Data Size is the total size of the Item Data that is currently contained as a valid message in the LastItemData array. This data is updated at the exact same time as when the LastItemSeqNumber increments, when a new item has been completely received, even if it took multiple packets to transfer in 128 byte fragments.

LastItemData

LastItemData is the 4096 byte array that contains the last full message transferred by the ABR to the PLC. This array is updated at the same time as LastItemDataSize and LastItemSeqNumber, after all fragments of the message have been reassembled in the AOI. It might not always be the latest result message generated by the ABR if the PLC has fallen behind and the ABR is buffering multiple results waiting to ﬁnish sending them to the PLC. Only the bytes that fall within the size of the LastItemDataSize are overwritten, so there could also be old data left in the upper array addresses when a shorter message arrives than the previous message.

8.3 Modbus/TCP

The Modbus/TCP protocol provides device information using register and coil banks This section deﬁnes the register and coil banks. By speciﬁcation, Modbus/TCP uses TCP port 502. The ABR functions as a

Modbus/TCP Client, so the host controller (usually a PLC) must act as a Server. The following registers are used to send values back and forth from the barcode reader to the PLC. ABR series reader read-

only output data messages are written to Holding Registers (40000) using Modbus function code 16 (Preset Multiple Registers). The ABR Input Bits are read every 50 milliseconds from the PLC as Inputs (10000) using Modbus function code 02 (Read Input Status). The state of the ABR Output Bits are written to the PLC on Coils (00000) using Modbus function code 05 (Write Single Coil).

8.3.1 ABR Output Message Data

The ABR output messages are written to the 16-bit Holding Registers (40000). The maximum message size is to 255 registers. This allows for up to 510 8-bit ASCII characters per message. If the

message is longer than 510 characters only the ﬁrst 510 characters are written, and the rest are discarded. The data is written in Big Endian format, with the to the lower byte of the ﬁrst register. If the message is shorter than the number of registers being written, the ABR writes a 0 value to the extra bytes.

The following table shows the contents of the registers if 255 registers are being written, and the output message is:

Deﬁnes the offset added to the Starting Address ﬁeld of the Modbus/TCP message. If set to 5, the output messages are written from 40006 to 40025 instead of from 40001 to 40020.

Number of Registers

Deﬁnes the maximum number of registers according to the maximum length of the message to be transmitted. The size of the message transmitted is constant, thus, it must be big enough to contain the largest barcode information.

Remote Address

Deﬁnes the IP address of the server to which the client tries to connect.

Remote Port

Deﬁnes the port number of the server to which the client tries to connect. It must be different from the port numbers deﬁned for other communications functions.

Remote Unit ID

Deﬁnes

the unit identiﬁer used with Modbus/TCP devices that are composites of several Modbus devices, for example on Modbus/TCP to Modbus RTU gateways. In these situations, the unit identiﬁer tells the Slave Address of the device behind the gateway. By default, Modbus/TCP-capable devices usually ignore the unit identiﬁer

Connection Retry Time

Deﬁnes

a timeout (in milliseconds) for the Industrial Protocol Client before the client retries the connection between the client and the server. If the connection is not successful, further retries are attempted after this timeout expires. If set to 0 there is no retry attempt.

After changing settings, click

• Perform testing with the actual ABR using application-speciﬁc

codes to evaluate whether maximizing application performance requires adjustments to the hardware/software conﬁguration with respect to the Reference Conditions given under each diagram

• The ratio of the Vertical FOV width with respect to the Horizontal FOV width in the diagrams depends on the model

◦ For WVGA models, it is about equal to 0.64; speciﬁcally 480/752 (that is, FOVV ≈ FOVH × 0.64) ◦ For 1.2 MP models, is about equal to 0.75; speciﬁcally 960/1280 (that is, FOVV ≈ FOVH × 0.75)

•

The reading distance ranges are measured from the reading window surface

• The max theoretical Line Speed values for each diagram can be calculated using the formula in

Speed and Exposure Calculations

on page 93

Maximum Line

• Common software parameter settings: ◦ For all ABR 3000 models (except where speciﬁed differently) reading all 1D code symbologies - Processing

Mode = Standard

◦ For all ABR 3000 models (except where speciﬁed differently) reading 2D code symbologies - Processing

Mode = Standard; Code Contrast = Low; Decoding Complexity = Medium

•

When deﬁning a hardware/software conﬁguration for the ABR for conditions different from those of the reference diagrams, keep in mind the following rules:

◦ Changes in Exposure Time act directly proportional to the luminosity of the image and inversely proportional

to the maximum code reading movement speed. Consequently, reducing the Exposure Time by half, reduces the luminosity of the image by half but doubles the theoretical code reading movement speed

◦ Changes in Gain act directly proportional to the luminosity of the image. Increasing the Gain value however,

can reduce the quality of the acquired image

Vignetting

For ABR 3000 models used in 2D code reading applications, due to the "ﬁsheye" or “vignetting” effect of the lens, the reading area is limited to the central zone of the Vertical FOV.

Depending on the application, Image Cropping can be applied above and below the central zone of the Vertical FOV, limiting image acquisition to the effective reading area and therefore increasing frame rate and reducing overall image processing time.

9.4 Maximum Line Speed and Exposure Calculations

When the Dynamic reading option is selected in the Image Auto-Setup or Automatic Setup window, the maximum allowable image exposure is automatically calculated according to the formula described in this section, using the parameters entered.

The Exposure Time (or Shutter) parameter deﬁnes the time during which the image will be exposed to the reader to be acquired. This parameter depends heavily on the environmental conditions (external lighting system, image contrast, etc.).

In general, a longer time corresponds to a lighter image but is susceptible to blurring due to the code movement; a shorter exposure time corresponds to a darker image.

ABR 3000 Series Barcode Reader

Note: The following considerations must be applied only when the internal lighting system and 2D codes are used. The Maximum line speed allowed for linear codes or postal code reading applications heavily depends on the direction of symbol movement. When the direction of movement is parallel to the elements of the code, the maximum speed is greater.

Assuming:

Conversion to Metric

•

• X: Code Resolution (mm)

• T

: Exposure Time (s)

exp

• LS: Line Speed (mm/s)

[Code Resolution in mils] x 0.0254 = Code Resolution in mm

• n/a

• [Line Speed in ft/min] x 5.08 = Line Speed in mm/s

The essential condition to avoid blurring effects between two adjacent elements in a dynamic reading application is:

LS × T

exp

≤ X

The maximum (theoretical) line speed LS can be calculated as follows:

X / T

exp (min)

= LS

exp (min)

(max)

is the minimum Exposure Time value obtainable for the

speciﬁc application. It can be evaluated in static reading conditions and depends on the ABR model selected for the application (internal lighting system, optical lens, reading distance) and on any external lighting system. It may also depend on code printing quality, and reader position.

Examples

ABR 3000 using:

Internal Lighting Mode = Very High Power Strobe Exposure Time (µs) = 200 µs Code Resolution (X) = 0.254 mm (10 mils)

has a maximum line speed of: 0.254 (mm) / 0.0002 (s) = 1270 mm/s Likewise, T

speed and code resolution. Therefore: X / LS = T T

exp (max)

and LS

is the maximum Exposure Time value that can be used without blurring for the given application line

exp (max)

are represented in the graph below as the curved line for X (code resolution). Values above the curve

(max)

exp (max)

result in blurring. In practice, the application values are somewhere below the theoretical line, (in the dark gray area), due to environmental and other conditions.

For example, the maximum target speed in the application is also affected by these conditions:

• Code/Background Contrast: Maximum speed decreases when decreasing image contrast (poor quality codes,

reﬂective

• Code Resolution: Maximum speed increases when decreasing code resolution, (that is, 2X). There is a decrement of overlapping effects between two adjacent elements

transparent coverings, different supports and printing techniques)

• Tilt Angle: Maximum speed decreases when increasing Tilt angle (from 0 to 45 degrees)

The Internal Lighting parameter allows setting the operating mode of the internal lighting system. The possible values are:

• Disabled: The built-in LED array is turned off all the time. This option can be useful if using an external lighting system

• Very High Power Strobed: The built-in LED array is on only during the image exposure time

Note: To avoid the LED array overheating, for Power Strobed settings, the program automatically limits the range of allowed values for the Exposure Time parameter. Therefore, after changes to Internal Lighting, recheck Exposure Time.
