INTRODUCTION

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The DS6300 is the first high performance laser scanner in a complete range of industrial barcode readers offering an innovative and modular solution in terms of reading performance, connectivity and maintenance, in addition to a completely new hardware and software platform.

The DS6300 has been specifically designed for simple installation, easy use and flexibility. An innovative mechanical design together with the Datalogic patent pending Step-a-Head feature make it possible to rotate the reader head and the decoder base independently from each other. Step-a-Head

enables the DS6300 to always be installed in the ideal position, by modifying the orientation of the connector panel while leaving the laser window in the desired position. The need for space is minimized and installation is easier.

The DS6300 has an innovative multi-step optic assembly for mechanically adjustable focusing, providing the scanner with a particularly large reading range of 250 mm to 2,000 mm (10-80 inches). Its key features are excellent reading field at the minimum distance and outstanding reading performance on low contrast bar codes. These features are a great benefit in applications such as reading bar codes directly printed on cardboard boxes.

The DS6300 can read all most popular bar codes even in the most difficult conditions, thanks to a new generation decoder with Intel XScale CPU and code reconstruction technology (ACR™ 4).

This reader is also offered in a model with an integrated SW programmable oscillating mirror.

Great attention has been given to built-in connectivity for all market standards. Lonworks, Profibus, DeviceNet and Ethernet bus have been integrated in dedicated versions of the decoder base.

Some of the main features of DS6300 are listed below:

• scanning speed up to 1200 scans/sec;

• 2 serial communication interfaces

• reading all popular codes;

• supply voltage from 15 to 30 Vdc;

• electrical connection through connectors;

• high speed Lonworks connectivity for Master/Slave layout;

• built-in connectivity for Profibus, DeviceNet and Ethernet;

• programmable in 5 different operating modes to suit the most various barcode reading

system requirements;

• light source: solid state laser diode; the light emitted has a wavelength between

630~680nm.

• IP64 protection class of the enclosure (not yet available for Ethernet models).

The DS6300 is the first product of a new family of scanners designed to satisfy the needs of the Manufacturing industry. Manufacturing, the core process from row material to finished product, is a huge industry divided in different branches of economic sectors: from automotive to electronics, from food & beverages to white goods.

The DS6300 features have been defined to give a set of benefits answering the main manufacturing industry needs .

INTRODUCTION

1.3 OSCILLATING MIRROR MODELS

Oscillating mirror models are used when coverage of a large reading area is required, mainly in picket fence applications. The DS6300 scanner mounts a dedicated optic head with integrated oscillating mirror driven by a linear motor. The speed, the precision, the repeatability, and the reliability of this driving technology assure high level performance.

The new oscillating mirror is completely software controlled and software programmable. The Genius™ software tool allows adjusting the linear motor speed (oscillating frequency) and the upper and lower limits of the oscillation by defining the top and bottom line limit angles.

When the oscillating mirror is programmed to read barcode labels at very small angles, position the reader to assure at least 10° for the Skew angle (see par. 2.4). This angle refers to the most inclined or external laser line, so that all other laser lines assure more than 10° Skew. This avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the reader.

1 0

Figure 1 – Oscillating Mirror Skew Angle

Otherwise, the scanner can be mounted at an angle of inclination of 17.5° in order to attain symmetrical deflection ranges.

Figure 2 - Oscillating Mirror Reading Position

In the above case, the zone where the scan line is perpendicular to the reflecting surface corresponds to a neutral zone at the center of the reading field.

DS6300

The mirror can be deflected up to 40°. Oscillation with respect to the output window median axis is asymmetrical ( see figure below).

INSTALLATION

2.2.2 Mounting the Scanner with Accessories

The following accessories allow installing the DS6300 reader in the most suitable position for your network layout:

- ST-237 mounting bracket;

- ST-210 mounting bracket;

- FBK-6000 fast bracket.

The ST-237 is a 106° mounting bracket to be mounted on the reader as displayed in the image below:

Figure 12 – Mounting the ST-237 Mounting Bracket

The ST-210 is a 90° mounting bracket to be mounted on the reader as displayed in the image below:

Figure 13 – Mounting the ST-210 Mounting Bracket

DS6300

The FBK-6000 is a fast bracket kit allowing a quick and easy mounting of the scanner on either the ST-210 or the ST-237 brackets.

First, it is necessary to fix the FBX-6000 to the DS6300 scanner by means of the mounting screws:

Figure 14 – Mounting the FBK-6000 on the Scanner

Then, attach the assembly to the mounting bracket by slipping the hook into the bracket hole.

Finally, fix it by means of the 2 fixing screws:

INSTALLATION

2.2.3 Mounting the Scanner with GFX-60

The GFX-60 is an X-pattern mirror for the DS6300 Series Scanners. The following procedure describes how to mount the GFX-60.

1. Unscrew the upper cover of the scan head, which houses the scanner output window.

a) Remove the two top head screws.

b) Loosen all four fixing screws.

c) Carefully remove the scanner output window from the scan head.

fixing screws (4)

. Mount the GFX-60 onto the scan head paying attention to correctly align the sealing

gasket.

3. Start the four fixing screws and the two head screws partially to assure correct alignment to the scan head.

4. Completely tighten the two head screws.

. Completely tighten the four fixing screws.

DS6300

6. Mount the scanner at an angle of 16°, as indicated in figure below, in order to obtain an angle of 90° between the two scan lines. This guarantees an omni directional reading of the barcode, if the code label satisfies the ACR™ 4 conditions (see par. 4.1).

The DS6300 with the GFX-60 can be mounted over a conveyor in different positions.

The following picture illustrates the suggested position offering the best compromise between width and height of the reading area:

Figure 16 – Central Reading Position

The Central Reading position allows maximizing the reading distance (height) when the

width of the reading area is not critical (narrow conveyors). In this case a complete reading on the central part of the conveyor plane is guaranteed.

To better exploit the scanner reading performance when GFX-60 is

NOTE

mounted, the use of a dedicated recipe is recommended.

For details about the reading performance of the DS6300 with GFX-60 see par. 4.3.3.

Main 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 by using the C-BOX 100 with the optional INT-30 accessory installed in it. The scanner communicates to the C-BOX 100 through the RS232 interface and the INT-30 converts the signals.

The main serial interface type and its relative parameters (baud rate, data bits, etc.) are selected via software using the Genius™ utility program. For more details refer to the section "Main Serial Port" in the Genius™ Help On Line.

Details regarding the connections and use of the main interface selection are given in the next paragraphs.

RS232 Interface

The main serial interface is used for communication with the Host computer and allows both transmission of code data and configuring the reader. The overall maximum cable length should not exceed 15 m (50 ft).

The following pins of the 25-pin and 26-pin connector are used for RS232 interface connection depending on the reader model:

Inputs

The inputs of the reader are on the 25-pin and 26-pin connector (Figure D, 1 and Figure E, 1) of the DS6300.

These inputs are called EXT_TRIG/PS, IN2/ENC, IN3 and IN4.

Pin Name Function

18 EXT_TRIG/PS A External trigger (polarity insensitive) for PS 19 EXT_TRIG/PS B External trigger (polarity insensitive) for PS

6 IN2/ENC A Input signal 2 (polarity insensitive) for Encoder 10 IN2/ENC B Input signal 2 (polarity insensitive) for Encoder 14 IN3A Input signal 3 (polarity insensitive) 15 IN4A Input signal 4 (polarity insensitive) 24 IN_REF Common reference of IN3 and IN4 (polarity insensitive)

IN2/ENC is normally used for the Encoder input. The maximum Encoder frequency is 2 KHz.

EXT_TRIG/PS is the main presence sensor. When active, this input tells the scanner to scan for a code and that decoding can take place. The yellow LED (Figure C, 3) indicates the EXT_TRIG/PS is active.

IN3 and IN4 can be used as the stop signal for the reading phase.

All inputs are optocoupled, polarity insensitive, and driven by a constant current generator; the command signal is filtered through an anti-disturbance circuit which generates a delay which can be set to 5 ms or 500 µs. In particular, EXT_TRIG/PS, IN3 and IN4 share the same value which usually corresponds to 5 ms when using a photoelectric sensor, while IN2/ENC has a different value which is set to 500 µs when this input is used for the Encoder.

Figure 29 - IN3/IN4 NPN Input Command using Scanner Power

Input devices can be supplied by either scanner power (VS and GND) or external power supplies (Vext).

Electrical isolation between the input command logic and the scanner is maintained when powering the input devices from an external supply voltage (Vext).

The driving logic of the input signals may be powered, for convenience, with the voltage supply between pins 9 (VS) and 23 (GND) of the 26-pin I/O connector. In this case, however, the device is no longer electrically isolated.

The voltage available on the 26-pin I/O connector, is physically the same as used to power the scanner.

The electrical features of these inputs are:

Maximum voltage 30 V Maximum current 10 mA

Outputs

Three general purpose outputs are available.

Pin Name Function

8 OUT 1+ Configurable digital output 1 – positive pin 22 OUT 1- Configurable digital output 1 – negative pin 11 OUT 2+ Configurable digital output 2 – positive pin 12 OUT 2- Configurable digital output 2 – negative pin 16 OUT 3A Configurable digital output 3 – polarity insensitive 17 OUT 3B Configurable digital output 3 – polarity insensitive

The function of the three outputs OUT1, OUT2 and OUT3 can be defined by the user. Refer to Genius™ Help On-Line for further details.

INSTALLATION

By default, OUT1 is associated with COMPLETE READ event, which activates when the code has been read correctly. In case the reader has been programmed to read several codes within the same reading phase, the event activates when all codes have been read.

OUT2 is associated with NO READ event, which activates when no code has been read.

OUT3 is associated with NONE, which means that the output is always in Line State.

The OUT1 and OUT2 electrical features are given below:

Collector-emitter voltage 30 V Max. Collector current (pulse) 130 mA Max. Collector current (continuous) 40 mA Max. Saturation voltage (VCE) 1 V at 10 mA Max. Maximum power dissipation 90 mW at 50°C (Ambient temperature).

The limit requested by the maximum power dissipation is more important than that of the maximum collector current: if one of these outputs is continuously driven, the maximum current must not be more than 40 mA although 130 mA may be reached in pulse conditions.

DS6300

USER INTERFACE

30 Vdc max

Vext

Figure 30 – Output 1 and Output 2 Interface

When the load is powered by an external power supply, the voltage must be less than 30 V.

OUT3 has different electrical features, since it is a bi-directional solid state relay with built-in current limit protection. If this output is continuously driven, the maximum current must be not more than 200 mA although more than 300 mA may be reached in pulse conditions for an ambient temperature of 25°C. At the maximum ambient temperature of 50°C the maximum respective current is 150 mA continuous and 240 mA pulse.

The OUT3 electrical features are given below:

Maximum voltage ± 100 V Collector current (pulse) 240 mA Max. Collector current (continuous) 150 mA Max. R on 6 – 15 Ω R off > 500 Ω Off-state leakage current < 1 µA

2.3.2 Lonworks Connectors

Do not connect an RS23 damage your Laptop PC.

CAUTION

The local network used by DS6300 exploits a Lonworks standard communication system requiring only two wires (polarity insensitive) to enable a connection. The connector also

rovides a positive and a negative supplying wire. In this way, all the slave readers can be

p powered by the master through the Datalogic standard cables.

When working in applications requiring enhanced synchronization capabilities, the DS6300 master reader (output) transmits two system signals named Sys_I/O and Sys_Enc_I/O to slave readers (input). For example, when working with applications requiring an encoder the signal is received by the master and directly transmitted to the slaves throug

he internal circuits generating the system signals are externally supplied by means of the

T VS_I/O and REF_I/O pins and are isolated from the reader supply voltage.

The use of these system circuits is not required in all the operating modes (see pa

etails). Anyway, for a correct system functioning it is suggested to use Datalogic cables and

ccessories and follow the description of the typical layout (see par. 2.7 for details).

Network Termination

When building a Lonworks system the network must be properly terminated by positioning BTK-6000 terminator in the DS6300 master reader and in the last DS6300 slave reader.

Each side of the terminator provides a different connector; thus, it can be inserted either into the Lonworks 9-pin male connector of the master reader or in the Lonworks 9-pin female connector of the last slave reader:

For Fieldbus models no terminator must be inserted in the reader, since it is internally integrated.

DS6300

Lonworks Interface

The Lonworks network is used for both input and output connection to build a multi-sided or omni-station system connecting several readers.

The DS6300 master usually employs the 9-pin female connector for output connection to the first slave, while the 9-pin male one is terminated by inserting the BTK6000 terminator (see par. 2.7.2 for details). If creating a T-network configuration, it is necessary to use both connectors to create the double branch line of slave readers.

Both connectors are always employed when connecting together the slave readers. In particular, the 9-pin female connector is used for output connection and the male one for input connection. The female connector is always terminated in the last slave reader to close the system network.

The following diagram represents the connection between a DS6300-XXX-010 working as master and a DS6300-XXX-010 working as a slave reader.

2.3.6 Power Supply

The supply voltage of a single scanner must be between 15 and 30 VDC.

Datalogic strongly recommends a minimum 24 VDC supply voltage when using a master/slave configuration.

The power consumption of the different DS6300 models is slightly different. In particular, when connecting several DS6300 readers in a master/slave connection, the typical power consumption for each scanner is 15 W. There is a power peak of about 20 W lasting 5..10 seconds caused by the motor starting.

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.

Note that GND is internally connected to chassis. The cable shield is also connected to pin 1 - CHASSIS.

2.5 POSITIONING THE SCANNER

The DS6300 reader is able to decode moving barcode labels at a variety of angles, however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.

When mounting DS6300 take into consideration these three ideal label position angles: Pitch 0°, Skew 10° to 30° and Tilt 0°.

Follow the suggestions for the best orientation:

The Pitch angle is represented by the value P in Figure 46. Position the reader in order to minimize the Pitch angle.

Figure 46 - "Pitch" Angle

DS6300

The Skew angle is represented by the value S in Figure 47. Position the reader to assure at least 10° for the Skew angle. This avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the scanner. For oscillating mirror models, this angle refers to the most inclined or external laser line, so that all other laser lines assure more than 10° Skew.

Figure 47 - "Skew" Angle

The Tilt angle is represented by the value T in Figure 48.

Figure 48 - "Tilt" Angle

INSTALLATION

2.6 TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS

2.6.1 Standard Installation

The DS6300 scanner is mounted on the ST-237 106° mounting bracket (see Figure 9) which guarantees a built-in Skew angle (S in the figure below) of 16° with respect to the frame plane (typically the Skew angle should be between 10° - 20°). This avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the scanner. Furthermore, the bracket guides allow adjusting the Tilt angle (T in the figure below, which is typically 0°) for the best scanner orientation:

Conveyor Direction

Figure 49 – Standard Installation

2.6.2 “45° Skew” Installation

The DS6300 scanner is mounted on the ST-210 90° mounting bracket (see Figure 11). By adjusting the mounting bracket guides, reach 45° for the Skew angle (S in the figure below) to avoid the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the scanner:

45°

Figure 50 – 45° Skew Installation

ATTENTION

If using the “45° Skew” installation, the scanner reading performance is not guaranteed to match that measured for the standard installation with Skew angle between 10° - 20° (see reading diagrams in par. 4.3.1).

2.7.2 Pass Through

When Pass Through is activated on the Auxiliary interface, the DS6300 reader (all models) can be integrated in a network consisting of different scanners not provided with a Lonworks interface.

This connection mode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single external serial interface. The DS6300 transmits the messages received 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 Pass Through connections each scanner is provided with its relative External Trigger (multi P.S.).

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

For the RS232 connections the maximum cable length is 15 m (50 ft).

The DS4600A scanners represented in the following figures are configured in Pass Through mode.

2.7.5 Local Lonworks Network

A local Lonworks network allows logically connecting a DS6300 master reader with up to 31 DS6300 slaves. Actually, the maximum number of readers to be employed in the network depends on the system operating conditions; that is adopted operating mode and amount of data stream.

When creating your network, always keep in mind the following guidelines:

• the Lonworks network logically supports a maximum number of 32 devices (master + slaves);

• it is recommended to adhere to the 8-in-16 rule (not more than 8 devices in any 16 meter bus segment;

• for DS6300 scanners the total bus length may extend up to 130 m (426 ft);

• the maximum number of DS6300 readers supported also depends on the type of power

propagation adopted by the system (see the specific power supply installation manual for details).

Typically the layouts can be divided into Synchronized (single P.S.) or Multidata (multi P.S.) networks. They can be small (up to 10 scanners) or large (more than 10 scanners).

Contact Datalogic Automation S.r.l. if your network requires a higher number of readers or in case the application throughput is very high.

For further information on Lonworks network cabling and connections see the “LonWorks® TPT Twisted Pair Transceiver Module User’s Guide”, available from the website: www.echelon.com.

NOTE

For some DS6300 Lonworks Network layouts power is propagated through the scanners. For these layouts a special setting is required C-BOX 100 to pass scanner power to the presence sensor, encoder, etc.

INSTALLATION

Small Synchronized Network

When building a small local Lonworks network (less than 10 scanners), the DS6300 master reader must be connected to a local host computer or a C-BOX 100 by means of a CAB-60XX cable connected to the 25-pin or 26-pin D-sub male connector.

The master reader connects to the first slave reader of the system through the local Lonworks 9-pin female connector. For Master/Slave models, the local Lonworks 9-pin male connector must be properly terminated by inserting the BTK-6000 Lonworks terminator. Fieldbus models are provided with an internal Lonworks terminator.

The slave readers are connected together through the local Lonworks connectors. Only the 9-pin female connector of the last slave reader must be terminated by the BTK-6000 terminator.

The presence sensor is connected and powered through the C-BOX 100 by the scanner and is unique to the system. There is only a single reading phase and a single message from the master reader to the Local Host. The On-Line operating mode is used for this layout.

INSTALLATION

Large Synchronized Network

When building a large local Lonworks network (more than 10 scanners), an SC6000 Controller must be used together with a PWO power supply/junction box unit. In this case the SC6000 unit acts as the system master and is connected to the host through one of its interfaces.

All scanners act as slaves and are connected to the SC6000 through the PWO power supply/junction box. For DS6300 scanners, a single branch connector provides Lonworks communications between the scanners and the SC6000 unit. Power is distributed evenly by connecting groups of up to 4 Slave scanners through CAB-63XX cables. The last scanner on the line requires a Termination connector.

The allowed maximum bus length is 130 m.

External devices such as a presence sensor and an encoder are all connected to the PWO.

* P.S. (Presence Sensor) connected to External Trigger/PS input.

Multidata Network

In this layout, one master and up to 7 DS6300 slave readers have their own P.S. and therefore multiple reading phases. Each P.S. is connected through a C-BOX 100, which in turn is connected to its relative scanner through a CAB-60XX cable.

The master sends all the individual messages collected from the Lonworks interface as well as its own to the Local Host through its C-BOX 100.

2.7.6 Fieldbus Network

The Fieldbus Ethernet model offers connectivity without any converter or adapter needed.

The DS6300 master Fieldbus communicates with a remote host (for ex. remote PC connected via Internet) by means of a cable connected to the Fieldbus connector provided. It can be activated by a signal generated by the remote Host or by a physical presence sensor.

The external signals (trigger, encoder) are connected to the master through the C-BOX 100.

The master reader connects to the first slave reader of the system through the local Lonworks 9-pin female connector. Fieldbus models are provided with an internal Lonworks terminator.

The slave readers are connected together through the local Lonworks connectors. Only the 9-pin female connector of the last slave reader must be terminated by the BTK-6000 terminator.

The example below shows a system powered by the PWR-240 where multiple slaves are connected through CAB-63XX power cable. The master and all slaves are connected together through the CAB-610X cables.

2.9 FOCUS ADJUSTMENT

The DS6300 provides a manual adjustment of the optics to optimize the reading performance by choosing the best focus between two extreme positions. The focus adjustment is continuous and not by step; thus, allowing an optimum adjustment around the selected position. The relative focus positions range from 0 to 100. The adjustment can be simply made through an external screw placed on the back of the optic HEAD and protected by a cap (Figure 65). The screw may be rotated either clockwise or counterclockwise in order to move the scanner internal lenses. In particular, a clockwise rotation causes a farther focus from the scanner, while a counterclockwise rotation causes a nearer focus to the scanner.

An internal sensor tracks the exact laser beam focusing position allowing it to be shown on the reader display or through the Genius™ software program.

Do not stare at the laser beam output window during this operation to avoid hazardous visible laser light.

WARNING

Refer to the following instructions when adjusting the focus:

1) Remove the regulation screw protecting cap (see Figure 65) positioned on the back of the optic Head;

2) Press and hold both the ▲ (up arrow) and ▼ (down arrow) key for about 2 seconds to enter the Main menu;

3) Use the ▲ (up arrow) or ▼ (down arrow) key to select “Test Mode” item, then press the ENT (enter) key to confirm. The reader enters Test Mode;

4) Press the ENT (enter) key to toggle between the graphical (default) and numerical visualization of the focus position;

NOTE

Figure 68 - Test Mode Selection

This operating mode causes the reader to be continuously activated allowing to verify its reading features and its reading position with respect to the barcode. For this reason, it is particularly advised during the installation phase of the reader.

After 100 scan, the values relative to an internal counter and the decoded code are displayed and transmitted on the serial interface. The counter reports the percentage of good reads of the label.

SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION

On Line Operating Mode

Figure 69 - On Line Mode Selection

This operating mode requires the reader to be connected to an external Presence Sensor using EXT TRIG/PS A and EXT TRIG/PS B inputs.

During the active phase of the presence sensor, the DS6300 reader tries to acquire and correctly decode the code. In case the decoding phase is successful, the barcode characters are transmitted on the serial interface. Otherwise, a no read message is sent.

Automatic Operating Mode

Figure 70 - Automatic Mode Selection

This operating mode does not require connection to an external Presence Sensor.

When working in this mode the reader is continuously scanning, while the reading phase is activated each time a barcode enters the reader reading zone. The reader stops reading after an N number of scans without a code. Barcode characters are transmitted on the serial interface. In case of a failed reading phase no message is sent to the host computer.

3.2.3 Alternative Slave Address Assignment

As alternatives to Network Setup through the Master, each Slave scanner can be assigned an address through the following methods:

• address setting through the Local Device Network Settings item in the Device Menu

with the slave scanner connected to Genius™

• manual address setting through slave scanner keyboard (see par. 2.8.1 for details).

3.3 ADVANCED GENIUS™ CONFIGURATION

The ADVANCED selection available when starting the Genius™ program is addressed to expert users being able to complete a detailed scanner configuration. By choosing this option it is possible either to start a new scanner configuration or to open and modify an old one. The desired parameters can be defined in the following window, similar to the MS Explorer:

Figure 73 - Genius™ Parameter Explorer Window

The procedure for setting the scanner parameters is supported by an help on-line, which is displayed in an HTML browser. It can be selected from the Configuration Help option available in the Help menu. In addition, a context-sensitive help can be enabled by pressing the <F1> key after selecting the desired parameter.

READING FEATURES

4 READING FEATURES

4.1 ADVANCED CODE RECONSTRUCTION (ACR™ 4)

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 the following figure:

Laser Beam

Figure 74 – Linear Reading

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 motion of the label itself), the DS6300 is able to “reconstruct” the barcode. A typical set of partial scans is shown in the figure below:

Code Direction

Figure 75 – 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.

4.1.1 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.

Laser Beam

0° toαmax

= tilt angle

The decoder will be able to read the label with a tilt angle between + α max and - α max as shown in the following figure:

• Is serial cable connected?

• Is correct wiring respected?

• If using MAIN RS232 or RS485 interface, is

the reference ground connected to proper SGND Main Isolated (also referred to as GND_ISO)? Be careful that it is not completely different from GND power ground.

• If using C-BOX 100, be sure the RS485

termination switch is positioned to OFF.

• Are serial host settings equivalent to serial

device setting?

Communication:

data do not appear on the terminal.

• In the Genius™ program enable the DATA

COMMUNICATION SETTINGS/MAINAUXILIARY PORT\DATA TX parameter.

Communication:

data transferred to the host are incorrect, corrupted or incomplete.

• In the Genius™ program select the DATA

COMMUNICATION SETTINGS/DATA FORMAT folder and check for HEADER, TERMINATOR, SEPARATOR and FILL CHAR values.

• Check the CODE FIELD LENGTH value, too.

• Are the COM port parameters correctly

assigned?

GLOSSARY

ACR™ 4

Each version of the base has the powerful code reconstruction technology (ACR™ 4). The new fourth generation ACR considerably increases the code reconstruction reading capability in the case of damaged or very tilted barcodes.

Aperture

Term used on the required CDRH warning labels to describe the laser exit window.

Barcode

A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in machine-readable form. The general format of a barcode symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format.

Barcode Label

A label that carries a barcode and can be affixed to an article.

Baud Rate

A unit used to measure communications speed or data transfer rate.

CDRH (Center for Devices and Radiological Health)

This organization (a service of the Food and Drug Administration) is responsible for the safety regulations governing acceptable limitations on electronic radiation from laser devices. Datalogic devices are in compliance with the CDRH regulations.

Code Positioning

Variation in code placement that affects the ability of a scanner to read a code. The terms Pitch, Skew, and Tilt deal with the angular variations of code positioning in the X, Y and Z axes. See par. 2.5. Variations in code placement affect the pulse width and therefore the decoding of the code. Pulse width is defined as a change from the leading edge of a bar or space to the trailing edge of a bar or space over time. Pulse width is also referred to as a transition. Tilt, pitch, and skew impact the pulse width of the code.

EEPROM

Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. An on-board non-volatile memory chip.

Full Duplex

Simultaneous, two-way, independent transmission in both directions.

Half Duplex

Transmission in either direction, but not simultaneously.

Host

A computer that serves other terminals in a network, providing services such as network control, database access, special programs, supervisory programs, or programming languages.

Interface

A shared boundary defined by common physical interconnection characteristics, signal characteristics and meanings of interchanged signals.

LED (Light Emitting Diode)

A low power electronic device that can serve as a visible or near infrared light source when voltage is applied continuously or in pulses. It is commonly used as an indicator light and uses less power than an incandescent light bulb but more than a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). LEDs have extremely long lifetimes when properly operated.

Multidrop Line

A single communications circuit that interconnects many stations, each of which contains terminal devices. See RS485.

Parameter

A value that you specify to a program. Typically parameters are set to configure a device to have particular operating characteristics.

Pitch

Rotation of a code pattern about the X-axis. The normal distance between center line or adjacent characters. See par. 2.5.

Position

The position of a scanner or light source in relation to the target of a receiving element.

Protocol

A formal set of conventions governing the formatting and relative timing of message exchange between two communicating systems.

Resolution

The narrowest element dimension which can be distinguished by a particular reading device or printed with a particular device or method.

RS232

Interface between data terminal equipment and data communication equipment employing serial binary data interchange.

RS485

Interface that specifies the electrical characteristics of generators and receivers for use in balanced digital multipoint systems such as on a Multidrop line.

Scanner

A device that examines a printed pattern (barcode) and either passes the uninterpreted data to a decoder or decodes the data and passes it onto the Host system.

Serial Port

An I/O port used to connect a scanner to your computer, identifiable by a 9-pin or 25-pin connector.

Signal

An impulse or fluctuating electrical quantity (i.e.: a voltage or current) the variations of which represent changes in information.
