1 GENERAL FEATURES

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The DS6100 scanner is a barcode reader complete with decoder designed to
provide an inexpensive solution in omnidirectional reading applications by
combining the following advanced technologies with Datalogic’s solid
experience in the material handling sector.

ACR™

Advanced Code Reconstruction Technology allows the reading of low aspect
ratio labels placed anywhere on a parcel and enhances the readability of
poorly printed or damaged codes.

CD SQUARE™

CD SQUARE™ provides useful information on label position and object
shape elaborated during the barcode reading phase. This innovative
technology identifies the area in which the code is located and m easures the
code distance from the scanner.

PACKTRACK™

PackTr ack™ is a Datalogic patented par cel tracking system which improves
the reading features in omnidirectional stations. In particular, PackTrack™
manages 6-sided reading systems when it is impossible to detect the real
position of the code on the parcel, thus overcoming the need for external
accessories essential in traditional tracking systems.

Flexibility

The high frequency laser diode modulation system guarantees complete
immunity to ambient light and allows installation of the DS6100 in any
working area.

General Features -

2.4 JUNCTION BOX INSTALLATION

The junction box provides a passive connection between your scanner and
the outside world in a fast and practical way. It represents an alternative to
other standard connectors provided. Figure 2.7 shows the basic layout of a
scanner using the junction box.

For junction box connections, the scanner has a cable that terminates in a
24-pin connector that plugs into the
junction box. The system cables
pass through 6 glands in the side of
the junction box and the individual
wires connect to spring clamp
terminal blocks inside which provide
access to all scanner signals.

2.5.1 Power Supply

The supply voltage for correct operation of the scanner mus t be between 10
and 30 VDC.

The max. power consumption is 10 W.
The power block (optional), supplies the power necessary for the DS6100

and allows mains power to be used.
A security system allows the laser to activate only once the motor has

reached the correct rotational speed; consequently, the laser beam is
generated after a slight delay from the power on of the scanner.

2.5.2 Main Serial Interface

The main serial interface is compatible with the following electrical standards:

RS232
RS485 full-duplex
RS485 half-duplex
20 mA current loop

The 20 mA Current Loop interface is available if the optional INT-26
accessory is installed. This accessory interface replaces the RS232/RS485
selections.

The main serial interface type and its relative parameters (baud rate,
data bits, etc.) are selected via software either using the WinHost utility
program or Host Mode programming. For more details refer to the
section "Main Interface Menu" in the WinHost Help On Line.

Details regarding the connections and use of the main interfac e selection ar e
given in the next paragraphs.

RS232 Interface

The main serial interfac e is used in this c ase f or point-to- point connec tions; it
handles communication with the Host computer and allows both transmission
of code data and configuring the scanner.

The following pins of the 19-pin connector are used for RS232 interface
connection:

Pin Name Function

R TX232 transmit data

T RX232 receive data
P RTS232 request to send
S CTS232 clear to send
N SGND signal ground

The RTS and CTS signals control data transmission and synchronize the
connected devices.

If the RTS/CTS har dware protocol is enabled, the DS6100 ac tivates the RTS
output to indicate a message can be transmitted. The receiving unit must
activate the CTS input to enable the transmission.

RS485 Half-Duplex Interface

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

It can be used for Multidrop connections in a master-slave layout or with a
Datalogic Multiplexer, (see par. 2.8.3, 2.8.4 and 2.8.5).

Device connection to the Multidrop line can be contr olled exter nally through the
RS485CNTR line. For exam ple, it may be necessary to disconnect a scanner
from the line if the device is damaged or the line is overloaded. To do this,
apply a voltage from 12 to 30 Vdc to the RS485CNTR signal using GND as a
reference.

2.5.4 Inputs

The inputs of the sc anner are on the 6-pin circ ular connector (F igure B,
on the body of the DS6100.

These inputs are called ENC, PS1 and PS2.
ENC is the Encoder input. In PackTrack™ mode, it detects the conveyor

speed.
PS1 is the main presenc e s ensor . When ac tive, this input tells the s c anner to

scan for a code and that dec oding can take place. The yellow LED (Figure A,

) indicates the PS1 is active.

)

Installation -

2.23

DS6100 DATALOGIC

PS2 can be used as the stop signal for the reading phase.
All inputs are optocoupled and driven by a constant current generator; the

command signal is filtered through an anti-disturbance circuit which
generates a delay of about 5 ms for PS1 and PS2 and 500 µs for ENC.

For PS1 and PS2, the NPN or PNP connection must be made by setting the
jumper as shown in par. 2.2.2.

Isolation between the command logic and the scanner is maintained by
powering the inputs with a different supply voltage (Vext) from that supplied
on the 6-pin connector (VS).

The driving logic of the input s ignals may be powered, for convenience, with
the voltage supply between pins A (VS) and B (GND) of the connector. In this
case, however, the device is no longer electrically isolated.

Installation -

2.25

DS6100 DATALOGIC

The voltage available on the input connector, between pins A and B, is
physically the same as used to power the scanner.

The electrical features of these inputs are:

Maximum voltage 30 V
Maximum current 25 mA

2.5.5 Outputs

Apart from the main and auxiliary interface outputs on the 19-pin circular
connector (Figure B,

for external devices.

), there are also indicator and power supply outputs

A D.C. output voltage, the same as that powering the DS6100, is present
between pins A and B. This may be used to power external devices: electric al
isolation between the scanner and external devices is lost in this case.

The NO READ output activates when a code signalled by the presence
sensor is not decoded.

The RIGHT output is used to signal the presence of a right code, thus a good
decode condition.

The NO READ and RIGHT outputs ar e all level or pulse progr am m able: a 50
ms pulse is gener ated in the second case. Further program ming information
is supplied in the WinHost Help File. These outputs are created using
optoisolated Darlington drivers and supply both the collector and emitter in
output, allowing both loads referenced to ground and to the power supply to
be driven.

W hen the load is powered by an external power supply, the voltage must be

more important than that of the maximum collector current: if one of these
outputs is continuously driven, the maximum current must not be m ore than
40 mA although 130 mA may be reached in pulse conditions.

2.6 POSITIONING

The DS6100 scanner is able to decode moving barcode labels at a variety of
angles, however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.

When mounting the DS6100 take into consideration these three ideal label
position angles:

Pitch 0°, Skew 10° to 30° and Tilt 0°

.

2.7 FOCUS ADJUSTMENT

!

Before installing the DS6100, the operator should select a specific reading area
by means of the optical system for manual adjustment of the focal length.

The focus adjustment is obtained by rotating a regulation screw which moves
the internal lenses and therefore causes the las er beam focus ing position to
change.

Seven marks , numbered from 0 to 6, ar e printed on the regulation screw to
indicate the different positions of the internal optics. T he diagram in par. 3.3
shows the reading perform ance that c an be obtained f rom DS6100 sc anners
when operating with different focus positions and barcode label densities.

Even though the screw is marked with seven positions, the foc us adjustm ent
is continuous and not by step; this allows an optimum adjus tm ent ar ound the
selected position.

WARNING

The scanner must be dis connected from the
power supply during this operation to avoid
hazardous visible laser light.

Refer to the following instructions when adjusting the focus:

1) Uns crew the focus regulation cover (Figur e A,

window for access to the focus adjustment screw.

2) Carefully turn the screw counterclockwise until the number 0 is aligned

with the notch as shown in the following figure.

3) Now turn the focus adjustment screw clockwise to reach the desired

position (refer to the reading diagrams in par. 3.3).

2.8 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. See the WinHost Help On Line.

2.8.1 Standard (Point-to-Point)

Using a point-to-point layout, the data is transm itted on the Aux iliary interfac e
as well as on the Main interface. The Main interface can be selected for
RS232, RS485 full-duplex or if INT-26 is installed, 20 mA C.L.

External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading
zone.

2.8.2 Pass Through

Pass Through m ode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single
external serial interfac e. T he DS6100 tr ansmits the mes s ages r ec eived by its
auxiliary interface (RS232 only) onto its main interface.

In this configuration a series of scanners can be connected together using
RS232 on the main
interface and all messages
will be passed through this
chain to the host. The
reading phase of each
scanner is independent
from the others in a Pass

2.8.3 RS485 Master/Slave

The RS485 Master/Slave connection is used to collect data from several
scanners to build either an omni-directional or multi-sided reading system;
there can be one Master and up to 8 Slaves connected together.

The Master and Slave scanners are connected together using RS485 half­duplex on the auxiliary serial interface.

The Master scanner is also connected to either a Host or a Multiplexer on the
main serial interf ace. The possible m ain interface type selections ar e RS232

or RS485 full-duplex for Host connections or RS485 half-duplex for
Multiplexer connections.

For the Slave scanners the Multidrop Address Selection can be made using
the DIP switch. The addresses must be consecutive and dif ferent from zero
for hardware configuration, or be selected in software, (in this case the DIP
switch address must be zero for each Slave). See "Multidrop Address
Selection" in par. 2.2.1.

NOTE

The main serial port of the Slave scanners can be used
for configuration. The term ination resistors of the RS485
bus must not be installed.

Single P.S.

The P.S. signal is unique to the system; there is a single reading phas e and
a single message from the Master scanner to the Host.

3 READING FEATURES

3.1 ADVANCED CODE RECONSTRUCTION

The traditional way of barcode reading could be called "Linear Reading".
In this case, the laser beam crosses the

barcode symbol from its beginning to its
end as shown in Figure 3.1.

In Advanced Code Reconstruction mode it is no
longer necessary for the laser beam to cross the
label from the start to the end. With just a set of
partial scans on the label (obtained using the m otion
of the label itself), the DS6100 is able to
"reconstruct" the barcode. A typical set of partial
scans is sh o w n i n Figure 3.2.

Figure 3.1 - Linear reading

Code Direction

Laser
Beam

Figure 3.2 - Partial scans

None of the partial scans contains the whole label. The decoder aligns each
partial scan correctly and combines them in order to obtain the entire code.

The alignment is performed by calculating the time difference from one
partial scan to another using a reference code element.

3.1.1 Tilt Angle for Advanced Code Reconstruction

The most important parameter in Advanced Code Reconstruction is the
value of the maximum tilt angle (α maximum) under which the code
reconstruction process is still possible.

0° to α max

We define the Tilt angle as the angle (α)
between the laser beam and a line parallel to
the barcode label, as shown in Figure 3.3.

3.2 PERFORMANCE

It is possible to change the focus of the DS6100 in or der to r eac h the reading
distance expected. The scan rate is 800 scans / sec.

Refer to the diagrams in par. 3.3 for further details on the reading features.
These diagrams are taken on various resolution sample codes at a 25 °C

ambient temperature depending on the conditions listed in Figure 3.5.
If standard m odels do not satisf y specific requir ements, contact your nearest

Datalogic distributor, supplying code samples, to obtain com plete infor m ation
