SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

LASER SAFETY

The following information is provided to comply with the rules imposed by
international authorities and refers to the correct use of the DS2100 scanner.

Standard Regulations

This scanner utilizes a low-power laser diode. Although star ing directly at the
laser beam mom entarily causes no known biological damage, avoid staring
at the beam as one would with any very strong light source, such as the s un.
Avoid that the laser beam hits the eye of an observer , even through r ef lec tive
surfaces such as mirrors, etc.

This product conform s to the applicable requirem ents of both IEC 825-1 and
CDRH 21 CFR 1040 at the date of manufac ture. T he s c anner is c lass if ied as
a Class 2 laser product ac cording to IEC 825-1 regulations and as a Class II
laser product according to CDRH regulations.

There is a saf ety device which allows the laser to be switched on only if the
motor is rotating above the threshold for its correct scanning speed.

The laser beam can be switched off through a software command (see als o
«Beam Shutter» in the WinHost Help On Line).

WARNING

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may
result in exposure to hazardous visible laser light.

The laser light is visible to the hum an eye and is em itted f rom the window on

7

the front of the scanner (Figure A,

The signals relative to the following serial interfac e types are available on the
input/output connector of DS2100 depending on the DS2100 model (s ee par .

1.3).

If the interface type is not compatible with the current communication
handshaking, then the system forces the handshake to

The parameters relative to the interface s elected (baud rate, data bits, etc.)
can be defined using the WinHost utility program or "Host Mode"
programming procedure through ESC sequences installed from the diskette.

Details regarding the connections and us e of the interfaces are given in the
next paragraphs.

RS232 Interface

The serial interface is used in this case for point to point connections; it
handles comm unication with the host computer and allows both tr ansm iss ion

RS485 Half-Duplex Interface

The RS485 half-duplex (3 wires + shield) interface is used for polled
communication protocols.

It can be used in a master /slave layout or for Multidrop connections with a
Datalogic Multiplexer, (see par. 2.5.4 and 2.5.5) exploiting a proprietary
protocol based on polled mode called MUX32 protocol, where a master
device polls slave devices to collect data.

An anti-disturbance hardware filter is implemented on the External Trigger
input (< 5 milliseconds delay).

An additional 15 ms (typical) delay can be implemented through a dedicated
software parameter (refer to WinHost Help On Line).

2.3.5 Outputs

The outputs are available only on 25-pin connector models. The following
pins are present on the 25-pin connector of the scanner:

Connector Name Function

25-Pin

8 OUT1+ output 1 +
22 OUT REF output reference
11 OUT2+ output 2 +
12 OUT REF output reference

The meaning of the two outputs OUT1 and OUT2 can be defined by the user
(No Read, Right or Wrong). Refer to the Winhost Help On Line.

By default, OUT1 is associated with the No Read event, which activates
when the code signalled by the external trigger is not decoded, and OUT2 is
associated with the Right event, which activates when the code is correctly
decoded.

2.4 POSITIONING

The DS2100 scanner is able to dec ode m oving barcode labels at a var iety of
angles, however significant angular distortion may degrade reading
performance.
When mounting the DS2100 take into consideration these three ideal label
position angles:

Follow the suggestions for the best orientation:

Pitch 0°, Skew 10° to 30° and Tilt 0°

2.5 TYPICAL LAYOUTS

The following typical layouts refer to system hardware conf igurations. Dotted
lines in the figures refer to optional hardware configurations within the
particular layout.

These layouts also require the correct setup of the software configuration
parameters. Complete software configuration procedures can be found in the

Guide To Rapid Configuration

in the WinHost Help On Line.

2.5.1 Point-to-Point

In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the m ain serial interface.
Host Mode programming can be accomplished either through the main
interface or the Auxiliary interface.

In Local Echo communication mode, data is transmitted on the RS232
auxiliary interface independently from the main interface selection.

When On-Line Operating mode is used, the scanner is activated by an
External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading
zone.

2.5.2 Pass-Through

Pass-through m ode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single
external serial interface.

Each DS2100 transmits the messages received by the Auxiliary interface
onto the Main interface. All messages will be passed through this chain to the
host.

When On-Line Operating mode is used, the scanner is activated by an
External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading
zone.

The Main and Auxiliary ports are connected as shown in the following figure:

2.5.3 RS232 Master/Slave

The RS232 master/slave connection is used to collect data from several
scanners to build either a multi-point or a multi-sided reading system; there can
be one master and up to 9 slaves connected together.

The Slave scanners use RS232 only on the main and auxiliary serial interfaces.
Each slave DS2100 transm its the m essages received by the auxiliary interfac e
onto the main interfac e. All messages will be pas sed through this chain to the
Master.

The Master scanner is connected to the Host on the m ain ser ial interface. T he
possible main interface types for the master scanner are RS232 or RS485.

There is a single reading phase and a single message from the master
scanner to the Host computer.

Either On-Line or Serial On-Line Operating modes can be used in this layout.

When On-Line Operating mode is used, the external trigger signal is
unique to the system however it is not necessary to bring the external
trigger signal to the Slave scanners.

The main and auxiliary ports are connected as shown in the figure below.

2.5.4 RS485 Master/Slave

The RS485 master/slave connection is used to collect data from several
scanners to build a m ulti-point or a multi-s ided reading system; there c an be
one master and up to 5 slaves connected together.

The slave scanners are c onnected together using RS485 half-duplex on the
main serial interfac e. Every slave scanner must have a m ultidrop address in
the range 0-4.

The master scanner is also connected to the Host on the RS232 auxiliary
serial interface.

The External Tr igger signal is unique to the system ; there is a single r eading
phase and a single message from the master scanner to the Host computer.

It is necessary to bring the External Trigger signal to all the scanners.

The main and auxiliary ports are connected as shown in the figure below.

3 READING FEATURES

The number of scans performed on the code by the DS2100 and therefore
the decoding capability is influenced by the following parameters:

•

number of scans per second

•

code motion speed

•

label dimensions

•

scan direction with respect to code motion

At least 5 scans during the code passage should be allowed to ensure a
successful read.

3.1 STEP-LADDER MODE

If scanning is perpendicular to the c ode motion direction (Figure 3.1 - "s tep­ladder" mode), the number of effective scans performed by the reader is
given by the following formula:

SN = [(LH/LS) * SS] – 2

Where: SN = number of effective scans

LH = label height (in mm)
LS = label movement speed

in (mm/s)

SS = number of scans per second

Code motion direction

Reading Features -

3.1

DS2100 DATA LOGIC

For example, the DS2100 (350 scans/sec.) for a 25 m m high code m oving at
500 mm/s performs:

[(25/500) * 350] - 2 = 15 effective scans.

3.2 PICKET-FENCE MODE

If scanning is parallel to the code motion, (Figure 3.2 - "pic ket-f ence" mode),
the number of effective scans is given by the following formula:

SN = [((FW-LW)/LS) * SS] -2

DS2100

Figure 3.2 - "Picket-Fence" scanning mode

Where: SN = number of effective scans

FW = reading field width (in mm)
LW = label width (in mm)
LS = label movement speed

(in mm/s)

SS = scans per second

For example, for a 50 mm wide code moving in a point where the reading
field is 200 mm wide at a 1500 mm/s speed, the DS2100 (350 scans per
sec.), performs:

[((200-50)/1500) * 350] - 2 = 33 scans
