A complete ID-NET™ scanner network can be rapidly setup, as follows:

Mounting & Connection

1. Mechanically mount/install all the readers (refer to par. 3.2 and 3.3).

2. Wire ID-NET™ (refer to par. 4.3 or 5.3).

3. Connect the planned Master scanner to a PC by means of the Genius™ configuration software.

4. Power up the entire system.

Configuration

1. Launch Genius™.

2. From the Genius™ Device Menu select “Local Device Network Settings” and program the Role of the Master scanner (Synchronized or Multidata).

This procedure requires the Network Baud Rate be the same for all Slaves and Master, (500 kbs is the default value). It can be changed after network setup using Genius™ through the Master scanner. See also the alternative procedure in the note below.

3. At the prompt to "Send updated Network configuration to the Local Device" (Master) choose "Yes".

4. Then run the NET-AUTOSET procedure from the Icon in the Devices Area. Genius™ sets all slave scanners according to the Master Role (Synchronized or Multidata), and assigns each a random address. If necessary, this address can be changed through the Network Wizard.

5. Configure the System parameters via Genius™.

6. If using the CBX connection box equipped with a BM100 Backup module, perform System Backup at the Master.

The scanner network is ready.

If necessary, the ID-NET™ baudrate can be set individually on each Slave scanner to match the Master. Connect each Slave to Genius™ and set the

NOTE

An alternative method of programming scanner address and role assignment can be accomplished by using the “Connectivity Programming Barcodes” (refer to the “ID-NET™ Setup Procedure Using Programming Barcodes” document on the product CD).

INTRODUCTION

2.3 X-PRESS™ HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE

X-PRESS™ is the intuitive Human Machine Interface designed with the precise goal of improving ease of installation and maintenance.

Status and diagnostic information are clearly presented by means of five-colored LEDs, whereas the single multi-function key gives immediate access to relevant functions:

• Autosetup to self-optimize reading performance

in demanding applications

• Autolearn to self-detect unknown barcodes

• Test Mode with bar-graph visualization to check

static reading performance

X-PRESS™ is the common interface adopted in all new products: “You learn one, you can use them all”.

The colors and meaning of the five LEDs when in the one of the operating modes (On-Line, Automatic or Continuous) are illustrated in par 2.1.1.

The X-PRESS™ functions do not work if the motor or laser are turned off, see chp. 9 for details.

NOTE

2.3.1 Diagnostic Indication

The “STATUS” and “READY” LEDs blink simultaneously to signal the presence of a failure. Diagnostic message transmission on interfaces can be enabled to provide details about specific failure conditions.

At the same time one or more LEDs light up according to the following scheme:

LED STATUS

READY BLINK

Test Mode Function

Once entered, the Bar-Graph on the five LEDs is activated and if the scanner starts reading barcodes the Bar-Graph shows the Good Read Rate. In case of no read condition, only the STATUS LED is on and blinks.

To exit the Test Mode, press the X-PRESS™ push button once.

INTRODUCTION

AutoLearn Function

Once entered, the reader starts a procedure to automatically detect and recognize barcodes (by type and length), which are presented to it

. The laser turns on and the LEARN LED

blinks to indicate the ongoing process.

The procedure is as follows:

- place the desired barcode on the scanline.

- wait until the LEARN LED stays steady on (indicating the reader has detected the

barcode).

- repeat, if needed, the above two steps to program up to 10 different barcodes (the LEARN

LED returns to the blinking state for the next code). If more than one barcode is detected in the scan line, the Multi Label mode is enabled (refer to the “2K/4K Family Software Configuration Parameter Guide” Help file).

- exit the process by pressing the X-PRESS™ push button once.

The scanner will restart at the end of the process, and then the detected barcodes are automatically configured in scanner memory.

AutoSetup Function

Once entered, if a barcode label is positioned in front of the scanline, the scanner automatically performs the optimal setup of the reading parameters for that specific barcode.

The procedure is as follows:

- place the desired barcode on the scanline.

- enter the AutoSetup function (the laser turns on and the SETUP LED blinks to indicate

the ongoing process).

- wait until the SETUP LED stays steady on (indicating the reader has detected the

barcode).

This procedure ends either when the barcode is successfully decoded or after a timeout of about 7 (seven) seconds.

The scanner will restart at the end of the process, and then the optimized reading parameters for that barcode are automatically configured in scanner memory.

The AutoSetup function does not modify the programmed barcode

NOTE

symbologies. If needed, the AutoLearn function can be performed after Autosetup.

In case of Programming Barcodes (refer to the “ID-NET™: Programming Barcodes And Setup Procedure”

document in the product CD)

DS2100N REFERENCE MANUAL

Reset Scanner to Factory Default

If it ever becomes necessary to reset the scanner to the factory default values, you can perform this procedure by holding the X-PRESS™ push button pressed while powering up the scanner. At the end of the procedure (about 5-6 seconds), the Configuration and Environmental parameters are reset, all LEDs blink simultaneously 3 times and the message "Default Set" is shown on the display.

3.3 POSITIONING

The DS2100N scanner is able to decode moving barcode labels at a variety of angles, however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.

When mounting the DS2100N take into consideration these three ideal label position angles: Skew 10° to 30°, Tilt 0° and Pitch 0°.

Follow the suggestions for the best orientation:

The Skew angle is represented by the value S in Figure 17. Position the reader to assure at least 10° for the Skew angle. This avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the DS2100N.

For the raster version, this angle refers to the most inclined or external raster line, so that all other raster lines assure more than 10° Skew.

Figure 17 - Skew Angle

The Tilt angle is represented by the value T in Figure 18. Position the reader in order to minimize the Tilt angle.

Figure 18 - Tilt Angle

By using the ACB (Advanced Code Builder) software parameter, the tilt angle is less critical and can be decoded even if the scan line doesn’t cross the entire code.

See par. 7.1 or the Help On Line for details.

INSTALLATION

The Pitch angle is represented by the value P in Figure 19. Position the reader in order to minimize the Pitch angle.

The following instructions are referred to Figure 28, Figure 29 and Figure 30.

• The general cable type specifications are: CAT5 twisted pair + additional CAT5 twisted

pair, shielded cable AWG 24 (or AWG 22) stranded flexible. We recommend using DeviceNet cables (drop or trunk type) to the following reference

standards: AN50325 – IEC 62026 UL STYLE 2502 80°C 30V

• Cable Shield MUST be connected to earth ground ONLY at the Master.

• NEVER use ID-NET™ cable shield as common reference.

• The ID-NET™ max cable length depends on the baudrate used, (see the Baudrate Table

below).

• For Common Power Connections use only 2 wires (ID+ and ID-).

- DC Voltage Power cable (Vdc – GND) should be handled as a signal cable (i.e. do not

put it together with AC cable):

- Wire dimensioning must be checked in order to avoid voltage drops greater than 0.8

Volts.

- Cable should lie down as near as possible to the ID-NET™ cable (avoiding wide loops

between them).

• Scanner's chassis may be connected to earth.

• Network inside the same building.

4.5.1 Code Verifier

If the DS2100N is used as a Code Verifier, the verifier code can be configured in software through the Genius™ configuration program. However it is also possible to use one of the inputs to trigger when the scanner should store a code read as the verifier code.

The Code Verifier parameter must be enabled, and the configuration parameters to allow correct Code Type reading must be saved to the scanner in order to read the verifier code.

When the selected input is activated, the next read code will be stored as the verifier code in the scanner's non-volatile (Flash) memory.

For more details see the Verifier Parameters in the "2K/4K Family Software Configuration Parameter Guide” Help file".

The following instructions are referred to Figure 52, Figure 53 and Figure 54.

• The general cable type specifications are: CAT5 twisted pair + additional CAT5 twisted

pair, shielded cable AWG 24 (or AWG 22) stranded flexible. We recommend using DeviceNet cables (drop or trunk type) to the following reference

standards: AN50325 – IEC 62026 UL STYLE 2502 80°C 30V

• Cable Shield MUST be connected to earth ground ONLY at the Master.

• NEVER use ID-NET™ cable shield as common reference.

• The ID-NET™ max cable length depends on the baudrate used, (see the Baudrate Table

below).

• For Common Power Connections use only 2 wires (23 and 24).

- DC Voltage Power cable (Vdc – GND) should be handled as a signal cable (i.e. do not

put it together with AC cable):

- Wire dimensioning must be checked in order to avoid voltage drops greater than 0.8

Volts.

- Cable should lie down as near as possible to the ID-NET™ cable (avoiding wide loops

between them).

• Scanner's chassis may be connected to earth.

• Network inside the same building.

6.2 PASS-THROUGH

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

Each DS2100N 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.

Applications can be implemented to connect a device such as a hand-held reader to the Auxiliary port of the last scanner in the chain for manual code reading capability.

7 READING FEATURES

7.1 ADVANCED CODE BUILDER (ACB)

In addition to linear reading, the “stitching” together two partial reads of it. ACB is not as powerful as Advanced Code Reconstruction due to limits on tilt angle, speed and Multi-label function; but it is effective in the case of close-to-linear, small height codes, damaged codes, or poor print quality codes.

ACB is used to read a code label when the scan line does not cross the label along its entire length (excessive tilt angle).

Advanced Code Builder (ACB) allows code reading by

Linear Reading

ACB Reading

ACB reads two fragments of a label containing a start or a stop character and a number of digits, and puts them together to build the complete label.

ACB also has an intrinsic ability to increase the reading percentage of damaged codes as in the examples below:

ACB Readable

Not ACB Readable

ACB Readable

ACB is disabled by default but can be enabled for the following code types:

• Code 25 Interleaved • Code 128/EAN128

• Code 39 Family • EAN/UPC (without ADD-Ons)

• Codabar • Code 93

READING FEATURES

7.1.1 Important ACB Reading Conditions

• Do not use ACB for omni-directional reading stations.

• ACB can be activated for each symbology independently from the others.

• ACB requires that the code be in movement with respect to the scanner.

• ACB requires fixed length barcode reading.

• The codes read with ACB enabled must pass in front of the scanner one at a time.

Not valid for ACB

Valid for ACB

• Code concatenation and ACB are not compatible and therefore cannot be enabled simultaneously on the same code.

• For correct operation, ACB requires at least 5 scans for each of the two fragments.

7.1.2 Tilt Angle Improvement with ACB

ACB allows barcode reading with an increased tilt angle. The tilt angle depends upon the code aspect ratio defined as H/L according to the table below:

Max practical

ACB angle

0.33 18° 30°

0.25 14° 23°

0.125 7° 11°

7.2 LINEAR CODE READING

The number of scans performed on the code by the DS2100N 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.

DS2100N REFERENCE MANUAL

7.2.1 Step-Ladder Mode

If scanning is perpendicular to the code motion direction (Figure 77), 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

Direction of code movement at LS speed

DS2100N

Laser beam

Figure 77 - "Step-Ladder" Scanning Mode

For example, the DS2100N (500 scans/sec.) for a 25 mm high code moving at 1000 mm/s performs:

[(25/1000) * 500] - 2 = 10 effective scans.

READING FEATURES

7.2.2 Picket-Fence Mode

If scanning is parallel to the code motion, (Figure 78), the number of effective scans is given by the following formula:

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

Direction of code m at LS speed

ovement

DS2100N

Figure 78 - "Picket-Fence" Scanning Mode

For example, for a 60 mm wide code moving in a point where the reading field is 160 mm wide at a 1500 mm/s speed, the DS2100N (500 scans per sec.), performs:

[((160-60)/1500) * 500] - 2 = 31 effective scans

Refer to the diagrams given in par. 7.4 for further details on the reading features. They are taken on various resolution sample codes at a 25 °C ambient temperature, depending on the conditions in the notes under the diagrams.

7.3.1 Raster

Raster versions are available. The distance between the top and bottom scan lines is called capture and is measured from the laser beam output window.

The maximum capture is 18 mm (0.7 in) at 300 mm (11.8 in).

If standard devices do not satisfy specific requirements, contact your nearest Datalogic distributor, supplying code samples, to obtain complete information on the reading possibilities.

MAINTENANCE

8 MAINTENANCE

8.1 CLEANING

Clean the laser beam output window periodically for continued correct operation of the reader.

Dust, dirt, etc. on the window may alter the reading performance.

Repeat the operation frequently in particularly dirty environments.

Use soft material and alcohol to clean the window and avoid any abrasive substances.

Clean the window of the DS2100N when the scanner is turned off or, at least, when the laser beam is deactivated.

WARNING

DS2100N REFERENCE MANUAL

9 TROUBLESHOOTING

9.1 GENERAL GUIDELINES

When wiring the device, pay careful attention to the signal name (acronym) on the CBX100/500 spring clamp connectors (chp. 4). If you are connecting directly to the scanner 25-pin connector pay attention to the pin number of the signals (chp 5).

If you need information about a certain reader parameter you can refer to the Genius™ program help files.

Either connect the device and select the parameter you’re interested in by pressing the F1 key, or select Help/Parameters Help/2K_4K Software Configuration Parameters Guide from the command menu.

If you’re unable to fix the problem and you’re going to contact your local Datalogic office or Datalogic Partner or ARC, we suggest providing (if possible) the Device Configuration files (*.ddc). Connect through Genius™ and click the Save icon from the toolbar. Also note the exact Model, Serial Number and Order Number of the device.

TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Problem Suggestions Power On:

the “Power On”/”Ready” LED is not lit

Is power connected? If using a power adapter (like PG 6000), is it connected to a wall outlet? If using rail power, does rail have power? If using CBX100, does it have power (check switch and LED)? Measure voltage either at pin 13 and pin 25 (for 25-pin connector) or at spring clamp Vdc and GND (for CBX).

On line Mode: TRIGGER LED is not lit (when external trigger activates)

Is sensor connected to I1A, I1B spring clamps (for CBX) or to pins 18 and 19 (for 25-pin connector)? Is power supplied to photo sensor? Are the photo sensor LEDS (if any) working correctly? Is the sensor/reflector system aligned?

On line Mode: TRIGGER LED is correctly lit but nothing happens (no reading results) Serial On line Mode: the reader is not triggered (no reading results)

Is the software configuration consistent with the application condition (operating mode etc.)? In the Genius™ program select the Operating Mode branch and check for related parameters.

In the Genius™ program select the Operating Mode branch and check if Serial On Line is selected in the On Line Options. Are the Start – Stop characters correctly assigned? Is the serial trigger source correctly connected and configured?

On line Mode and Serial On Line:

Reader doesn’t

In the Genius™ program select the Operating Mode branch and check the Reading Phase Timeout parameterization.

respond correctly to the expected external signals end

X-PRESS™:

X-PRESS™ functions don't work. LEDs light up but do not allow access to the functions.

The X-PRESS™ functions don't work if the scanner motor or laser are turned off. Check if the motor or laser are turned off through the following parameters:

• Beam Shutter = enabled

• Scan Speed = Motor Off

• Energy Saving>Serial Motor Off has been sent

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Problem Suggestions Reading:

Not possible to read the target barcode (always returns No Read) or the Auto Setup procedure Fails.

Check synchronization of reading pulse with object to read: Is the scan line correctly positioned? Place barcode in the center of scan line and run Test mode (selectable by Genius™ as an Operating Mode). If you still have trouble, check the following:

• Is the reading distance within that allowed (see reading diagrams)?

• Is the Tilt angle too large?

• Is the Skew angle less than 10° (direct reflection)?

• Choose the Code Definition branch and enable different

Code Symbologies (except Pharmacode). Length = Min and Max (variable).

• Is the Bar Code quality sufficient?

If you had no success, try to perform the test using the BARCODE TEST CHART included with the product.

Communication: Device is not transmitting anything to the host

• Is the serial cable connected?

• Is the correct wiring respected?

• Are serial host settings equivalent to the serial device

setting?

• If using CBX, be sure the RS485 termination switch is positioned to OFF.

Communication: Data transferred to the host are incorrect, corrupted or incomplete

• In the Genius™ program select the Data Communication Settings/Data Format/Standard Parameters branch and check the Header, Separators, and Terminator values

• Also check the Code Field Length and Fill Character values.

• Are the COM port parameters correctly assigned?

Communication: Always returns the Reader Failure Character (<BEL> char

• Contact your local Datalogic office or Datalogic Partner or ARC, because either a Motor or Laser failure has occurred.

• Note the exact model and Serial Number of the device.

as default)

How do I obtain my units’ serial numbers?

• The device’s serial number is printed on a label that is affixed to the body of the reader.

• Serial numbers consist of 9 characters: one letter, 2 numbers, and another letter followed by 5 numbers.
