1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The C-BOX 200 is a connection box which can be used as an accessory to several
Datalogic family scanners.
Its main feature is to make the substitution of a Datalogic scanner in an installation
plain and easy.
To achieve this goal the C-BOX 200 provides the GET command to pass the
connected scanner’s configuration to the C-BOX 200 non volatile memory. The
SEND command allows a previously saved configuration to be transferred from the
C-BOX 200 to the scanner.
It also converts the scanner RS232 signals into RS485 optocoupled multidrop
signals.
The C-BOX 200 allows you to perform the following functions:
• Facilitate the connection of the scanner signals using a spring clamp connector.
• Perform a conversion from RS232 to RS485 multidrop system to connect a
RS232 scanner to a multidrop network.
• Get the scanner configuration and store it in memory.
• Send the configuration stored in memory to the scanner.
The C-BOX 200 mechanical dimensions are 161 x 114.5 x 40 mm (6.34 x 4.51 x 1.57
in.). The C-BOX 200 weighs about 340 g. (12 oz).
Electrical connection is provided through spring clamp terminal blocks inside the CBOX 200.
The scanner is connected to the C-BOX 200 through a 25-pin connector placed on
the left side of the housing.
A 9-pin connector placed inside the C-BOX 200 facilitates connection between an
external PC and the auxiliary serial interface of the scanner.

Figure 5 – System Layout
A laptop PC can be connected to the C-BOX 200 (and consequently to the scanner
auxiliary interface) through the internal 9-pin connector. This allows monitoring of the
data transmitted by the scanner or scanner configuration through the WinHost utility
(see the scanner Reference Manual for more details). The scanner auxiliary interface
signals are also available on the internal spring clamp connectors.
The scanner configuration and data monitoring are possible once the warning LED is
turned OFF.
After making system cabling and switch settings, connect the scanner to the 25-pin
connector on the left side of the C-BOX 200 housing.
Switch ON the C-BOX 200 power switch (see Figure 8).
By default, after power on, an automatic connection procedure takes place between
the C-BOX 200 and the scanner. During this phase, requiring a few seconds, the
warning LED is turned ON. Once the procedure had been completed successfully,
the warning LED is turned OFF.
After system functioning has been verified, close the C-BOX 200 using the 4 cover
screws making sure the rubber seal is fitted correctly between the parts of the
housing.

2.4.1 System Wiring
The connection and wiring procedure for C-BOX 200 is described as follows:
1) Open the C-BOX 200 as described in paragraph 2.2.
2) Verify that the C-BOX 200 power switch is off (see Figure 8).
3) Unscrew the compression connectors and pass all the system cables
through them into the C-BOX 200 housing.
4) To connect the power and input/output signals:
• Prepare the individual wires of the system cables by stripping the
insulation back approximately 1 cm.
• Using a device such as a screwdriver, push down on the lever directly
next to the clamp (see Figure 7).
• Insert the wire into the clamp and release the lever.
The wire will now be held in the spring clamp.

• The signals on pins 9, 10, 11 and 12 are repeated on pins 13, 14, 15 and 16 to facilitate network
connections (i.e. Multiplexer connections using the RS485 half-duplex Interface). In this way the
network bus can enter and exit the C-Box 200 from different spring clamps but be physically connected
together.

2.4.3 Scanner Chassis Grounding Jumper Settings
The scanner chassis grounding method can be selected by positioning a jumper (see
Figure 10). In this way the scanner chassis can be connected to earth ground (only if
pins 7 or 8 are connected to a good earth ground) or to the power supply ground
signal. The scanner chassis can also be left floating but, in this case, the jumper
must be removed.

2.4.4 Multidrop Address Selection
For RS485 half-duplex interface connections, the scanner multidrop address should
be set using the rotary switches placed inside the C-BOX 200.
The valid address range is from 00 to 31. This value is read only at power-on; any
change at run-time has no effect.
If an invalid value is detected (32-99) the C-BOX cannot communicate with the
Multiplexer and the green LED remains off. Furthermore, the SEND command
configures the scanner using the previously configured valid scanner address.

They are used together and they have the following significance:
when a jumper is in the J1 position (see Figure above) pin 40 is connected to pin 27
(EXT TRIG+); a jumper in J2 position connects pin 20 to pin 28 (EXT TRIG-).
If the jumpers are removed pin 20 and pin 40 are disconnected.
2.5 9-PIN INTERNAL CONNECTOR
The scanner auxiliary serial interface available on the internal 9-pin connector can be
used either for configuration through WinHost or for data monitoring.
The details of the connector pins are indicated in the following table:
1) The C-BOX 200 can be connected to the following scanners through the 25-
pin connector illustrated in Figure A.
DS2100A
DS2400A DS4600A
For all scanners, the RS232 interface must be selected by the user.
2) At least one Terminator Character should be enabled in the connected
scanner (see the Terminator parameters in the Data Format section of the Help
On Line).
3) It is necessary to set the scanner main interface communication speed
(Baud Rate), so that it is the same as the Multidrop bus speed. In fact, during
the connection procedure, the C-BOX 200 gets its main interface speed from
the scanner to initialize its RS485 Multidrop optocoupled serial interface. If both
the baud rate and the device address are correct the communication takes
place which causes the green LED to blink slightly.
The device address must be pre-set through the two rotary switches (see Figure 11).
2.7 OPERATING MODES
Once the connection procedure is completed (the warning LED is OFF), the C-BOX
200 is ready to receive code strings from the scanner's RS232 main interface. Then,
it converts them to the RS485 multidrop network by using MUX32 protocol.
Through the C-BOX 200 internal buttons, it is possible to communicate with the
scanner to perform one of the following functions:
• Get scanner configuration
• Send a configuration to the scanner
At the end of each function the scanner returns to the previous operating mode.

2.7.1 GET/SEND Buttons
The C-BOX 200 has two internal function buttons (GET, SEND).
C-BOX 200
GET SEND
Figure 15 – Internal Function Buttons
The procedure to enable the GET/SEND function is the following:
1. Press both the GET and SEND buttons at the same time for at least one second;
the warning LED will turn ON.
2. Release the buttons.
3. Press the left button corresponding to the GET function or the right button
corresponding to the SEND function.
GET– (left button): the C-BOX 200 reads the current scanner configuration
and permanently copies it in its own memory support (EEPROM). The
C-BOX 200 preserves this configuration also when switched off.
SEND - (right button): the C-BOX 200 sends the configuration previously stored
in its own permanent memory support to the scanner’s EEPROM.
Once the buttons are released in step 1, a ten-second timeout starts.
If no button is pressed within this time (no function is selected), the
procedure will be cancelled.
The C-Box 200 warning LED will turn OFF at the end of each
