DX8210 Barcode Scanner

When installing several scanners, take care to position them so that no laser beam enters the reading window of other scanners. This condition could occur more frequently for side mounted applications. If these precautions are not followed, read rate could be negatively affected. To resolve this problem, it is sufficient to slightly change the inclination and position of one of the two scanners involved if possible.

What You Need to Know About Your Application

To assure you get optimal performance out of your DX8210, it must be installed to meet the complete needs of your application. Therefore, take the time to learn the details of your application. The better you know your application, the easier it is to apply the DX8210’s capabilities to meet your application’s requirements.

Below is what you will need to know before you can begin installation:

• Conveyor Specifications

- Conveyor type: Belt, tilt-tray, cross belt, other?

- What is the conveyor width?

- What is the conveyor speed?

- Does conveyor speed vary or is it constant?

• Product Specifications

- Are the packages being transported always singulated (not touching) or non-singulated (possibly touching)?

- How many different product sizes may be involved?

- Are products justified: toward/away from reader, centered, or variable?

• Application Specifications

- How will the barcode information be used in your application?

- What are your communication requirements?

While it is nearly impossible to cover all application configurations, the next several pages provide the basics on determining how to mechanically install your DX8210. If you need additional assistance, feel free to contact your sales repre sentative or customer service (www.datalogic.com).

General Mounting Guidelines

It is important that you follow these general precautions when installing, setting up, operating, maintaining, troubleshooting, or replacing any Datalogic prod ucts, parts or related equipment.

As you plan and install your DX8210 barcode scanning system application, be sure to keep the following guidelines in mind:

• All mounting structure assembly and equipment installation can be performed by one installer.

• Determine the proper orientation and position of the barcode scanner.

• Leave adequate clearances (approximately 300 mm [12 inches]) for wiring.

• Route wires carefully to reduce or minimize electrical noise. When power and communication wiring must cross, make their intersection perpendicu lar.

• Proper grounding limits the effects of noise due to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).

-

Mounting Structure Considerations

Your first task is to mount your DX8210 barcode scanner. You can provide your own mounting structure or Datalogic can design one for you. We recommend using a Datalogic mounting structure for standard applications.

Your mounting structure must provide the following capabilities:

• It is adjustable enough for you to move your unit to the optimum position for proper scanning.

• It allows a technician access to the barcode scanner while it is mounted.

• It must be as vibration free as possible so as not to affect the scanning accuracy.

• It is constructed of steel or aluminum.

• It provides approximately 300 mm [12 inches] minimum clearance on all sides. This clearance is necessary to provide proper ventilation, allow access to all panels of the barcode scanner, and allow room for proper ser vicing.

General Electrical Installation Guidelines and Precautions

It is important that you follow these general precautions when installing, setting up, operating, maintaining, troubleshooting or replacing any Datalogic products, parts or related equipment. As you plan and install your scanner(s), be sure to keep the following guidelines in mind:

• Determine the scanner is in the proper location as outlined in Chapter 2.

• Leave adequate clearances (approximatel

• Route wires carefully to reduce or minimize electrical noise.

• When extraneous power and communication wiring must cross, make their tersection perpendicular. Avoid running power and data wiring parallel to

in each other. If possible, maintain one of the following separations between the power and data wiring:

- 300 mm [12 inch] gap

- use steel conduit and 25 mm [1 inch] gap

- 6.5 mm [0.25 inch] of aluminum.

When planning your installation wiring, remember all power connections must be quick-disconnect. For PERMANENTLY CONNECTED EQUIPMENT a readily accessible disconnect device must be incorporated in the building installation wiring. For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT the socket-outlet must be installed near the equipment and must be easily accessible.

Electrical Installation

Connecting a PC to the DX8210

During initial setup, a PC (laptop) may be connected to the DX8210 with a M12 to RJ45 cable. Screw the M12 connector to the ETH 2 port of the scanner and plug the RJ45 into the Ethernet port of your PC. If the ETH 2 port is in use, ETH 1 port can be used. For information on connecting to e-Genius,

ETH2 is the Setup port, ETH1 is the HOST port.

A laptop can only communicate to a scanner that is connected to a CBX Connection Box or SC5000 Controller.

Parameters for tunnel are set up in MASTER scanner (or SC5000 Controller) only.

Power Connector Pin-Out Table

A recommended power supply and cabling is available with the DX8210 and DX8210 (and SC5000 Controller). However, if your installation requires custom power supply wiring, the pin-outs of the unit power connector are provided below for your convenience.

see Chapter .

When using a DX8210 barcode scanner, no power supply is required for the CBX510 connection box. All power and some communication options are fed to the CBX510 through the scanner’s 17-pin I/O connector to the CBX510 25-pin connector using the cable provided.

In cases where the AS-I cabling is not used, the alternative CAB-LP-05 cable can be used to connect the power supply to the scanner. Connect the Brown/White pair to +24 Vdc and the Blue/Black pair to 0 V- (GND).

Power Connections

When planning your installation wiring, remember all power connections must be quick-disconnect.

The socket-outlet must be installed near the scanner. The outlet must be a readily accessible disconnect device.

While performing the following wiring connection procedures, be sure to follow all safety procedures regarding high-voltage as outlined in the Introduction to this manual. No power should be applied to any device until all wiring is completed and checked for accuracy.

DX8210 Barcode Scanner

Ground the scanner to safety ground (protective earth ground (PE)). See wiring recommendations for safety ground.

The CBX connection boxes provide flexible connectivity to a range of I/O devices as well as serial hosting. The DX8210 connects to the CBX via its I/O port using a single 17-pin M12 to 25-pin D cable. The CBX connection box also provides space for an optional BM100 backup module (recommended) for parameter storage, allowing quick replacement and configuration of the scanners.

In a system with multiple scanners and other devices array (tunnel), an SC5000 Controller serves as the system Master and provides communications between devices and to the Host. Complete installation information for the SC5000 Controller is available in the

Operating Mode

Use Operating Mode to select an operating mode and configure that mode’s related parameters. The three operating modes available are On Line, Continuous, and PackTr mode selected.

Online: I between a Phase ON and Phase OFF event. The Phase events can be signals coming from one or two external presence sensors connected to the scanner inputs or serial start/stop net input.

n the Online operating mode, the reading phase is defined as the time

ack, and the available settings differ depending on the operating

strings sent from the host over the serial interface or Ether-

Continuous: In the Continuous operating mode the reading phase is always active and allows the reading of two or more codes when placed along the same scan line. Code transmission is identical to the other operating modes except that there is no transmission on the serial port in case of a No Read condition.

PackTrack: Da 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. The technology allows for smaller gaps between packages and overcomes the need for additional accessories. It can also be used in bidirectional systems, in which you may want to read codes going forward or

1 Input Used

The reading phase takes place during the active phase of the presence sensor, when the scanner tries to acquire and correctly decode the code. If the operation is successful, the barcode characters are transmitted on the serial interface or Ethernet input in the format defined by the current configuration and the right output event is raised at the end of the photoelectric sensor’s active phase. If a

Reference Manual 53

User Interface

code cannot be decoded, a no read message is sent and the no read event is raised at the end of the photoelectric sensor’s active phase.

2 Inputs Used

The reading phase is defined by 2 inputs. It starts when the Start Input is activated and stops when the Stop Input is deactivated (unless the Extended Phase is enabled).

Serial/ Network

In Serial/On-Line mode the reading phase starts when the Serial Start String is received on the serial interface and ends when the Serial Stop String is received or when a programmed Reading Phase Timeout expires.

If decoding is correct, the data is transmitted on the serial port as defined by the configuration. The output line selected for the right output event is activated and the relative message is transmitted on the serial interface or Ethernet input.

In case of a bad read, a no read message is transmitted on the serial interface. The output line selected for the no read event is activated and the relative message is transmitted on the serial interface or Ethernet input.

Trigger Source: 1 Input Used

Code Filter

Select Enable, Disable, Timeout, Encoder Steps, or Tx Line from the On Line Options drop-down list. This parameter determines criteria for flushing entries from the code filtering list depending on the type of list management:

The Code Filter Depth parameter, when not = 0, manages a FIFO (First In First Out) list of codes which are compared for filtering. The Timeout and Encoder Steps values are in addition to the cyclical flushing of entries when the FIFO list depth is exceeded.

58

When Code Filter is set to Tx Line an internal list is managed where each entry is flushed when the Tx Line distance is exceeded.

The application program inherently compares codes based on content and code length.

Each Code Filter criteria has its own relative value parameter.

DX8210 Barcode Scanner

Operating Mode

Disable: No additional criteria are applied. If code filtering is enabled through the Code Filter Depth parameter, the FIFO list is only modified by new code entries (FIFO list depth exceeded). Enable: Enables code filtering options. Timeout: A timeout measured in milliseconds is also applied to each code read. The current code read will be flushed from the list when the timeout expires. Encoder Steps: a threshold measured in encoder steps is also applied to each code entry. The current code entry will be flushed from the list when the number of encoder steps is exceeded. See Filter Number of Encoder Steps Tx Line: The distance measured in mm to the transmit line is applied to each code entry. The current code entry will be flushed from the list when the distance in mm is exceeded. When Tx Line is selected, all the networked scanners must have been calibrated using PackTrack (See PackTrack in the

DS8110 and DX8210 Reference Manuals).

When Code Filter = Tx Line:

The Code Filter Depth parameter is no longer available because the application program manages an internal list which depends solely on the number of codes decoded before the Tx Line is reached.

Any code which is determined to be identical to a code in the list by comparing the filter conditions will be discarded, and to increase precision the code in the list will have its x, y, z position coordinates adjusted as the average between the two readings.

.

x=x1+x2/2 , y=y1+y2/2 , z=z1+z2/2

Code Filter options vary based on what is selected; Enable, Timeout, Encoder Steps or Tx Line.

Code Filter Depth

In Continuous mode, Code Filter Depth is used to avoid multiple reads of the same code. The entered value (other than zero) defines the number of codes to memorize in a FIFO (First In First Out) list.

When a code is read, it is compared to the list. The application program inherently compares codes based on content and code length. If the list contains a code identical to the current code being read, the current code is discarded. If not, the current code is accepted and added to the list in the first position; the remaining codes in the list are shifted. If the list is full the oldest code in the list will be flushed.

The direction refers to the code direction with respect to the scan line, in particular: Forward = the code start character precedes the stop character in the scan line (Start Ch + Code + Stop Ch); Reverse = the code stop character precedes the start character in the scan line (Stop Ch + Code + Start Ch)

Disable: All codes are transmitted no matter what the direction is Forward: All codes having a forward direction are transmitted Reverse: All codes having a reverse direction are transmitted

Start/Stop Char Tx (Specific to Codabar)

Select Disabled, Lower Case, or Upper Case from the drop-down list. This parameter is available only for Codabar code symbologies. It allows transmitting the code start/stop character:

Disabled: The character is not selected; Lower Case: The character is transmitted in lower case; Upper Case: The character is transmitted in upper case.

Code Combination

Select Single Label, Standard Multi Label, Logical Combination, or Code Collection from the drop-down list. The Code Combination parameter selects the decoding mode for the scanner.

Single Label “Single Label” on page 74: In this mode only one barcode can be read in each reading phase; however it can be determined automatically from up to 10 enabled codes. The scanner stops decoding as soon as a code is read.  If the code is not read during the reading phase, the No Read message is produced.

Standard Multi Label “Barcode Configuration | Standard Multi Label” on page 78: In Multi Label mode the barcodes selected (up to 10), will all be read in the same reading phase. If the reading phase terminates before all the codes are read, a Global No Read message will be produced, unless it is disabled, in which case a Local No Read will be produced.

to Global Settings | Barcode

In case of Multi Label, the codes will be distinguished EITHER by their symbology, OR by their contents. If two (or more) codes share the same symbology and same content, the scanner will perceive them as the same code.

Logical Combination “Barcode Configuration | Logical Combination” on page 82: In Logical Combination mode the codes of the groups defined by the Logical Combination Rule are read in the same reading phase.

Code Collection “Barcode Configuration | Code Collection” on page 92: In

Code Collection mode expected codes are collected within a single reading phase in the order in which they are read. The No Read message is produced only if none of the codes are read. Up to 50 codes can be collected.

Use 'Global No Read String' when No Codes Read

Select the check box to allow the Global No Read String to be used if no codes at all are read. This option is not available when Global No Read Message is selected from the No Read Message drop-down list.

Global No Read String (max. 128 chars)

Disable No Read Message: The No Read Message is not transmitted. Global No Read Message: The No Read String unable to decode one or more barcodes in the reading phase. The Global No Read String is sent if none of the bar codes in the bar codes settings table are read. When any one of the bar cods in the table are read, then the local no read is used; if no bar codes are read then the Global No Read Message is transmitted if the options is selected. Local No Read(s) Message: Do not use this option when working in Single Label mode. The Local No Read Message uses a not read message for each code selected. With the Standard Multi Label and Code Collection option the Local No Read messaged is defined in the barcode settings table located under the individual bar code option the local no read message is defined on the bar code configuration page.

This condition implicates that the short code is probably a misread of the same longer code and therefore should be ignored, (should not be considered as a multiple read of a different code).

This filter is based upon the following rules: a multiple read condition occurs all decoded codes of the same type are compared with each other Rule 1: the shorter code is considered contained in the longer code if the character

string is found in the same order; the longer code may have a single block of characters in any position (before, after or in between the compared strings)

Example: The code 123456 is considered contained in the following codes: 00123456, 12345600, 12378456.



The code 123456 is not considered contained in the following codes: 12346507 (string out of order), 12345700 (string not complete), 120378456 or 0012345600 (multiple blocks in the string).

Rule 2: the shorter code is not filtered by rule 1. In the longer code, all possible sub-strings of the same length as the shorter code string are compared with the shorter code string. The shorter code is considered contained in the longer code if the number of different characters between the compared codes is less than or equal to the Max Number of Different Characters. The shorter code will be filtered by rule 2.

Example: If Max Number of Different Characters = 1: The code 123456 is considered contained in the following codes: 12305600,

00123056, 8812305688 because there is only one different character in the compared string.

The code 123456 is not considered contained in 123066789 because there are two different characters in the compared string.

If the Contained Filter parameter is used when Message Tx Selection (see section “Special Host Protocol: None” on page 131) is set to On Decoding, the filter conditions may be satisfied before the reading phase ends resulting in possible successive multiple read errors.

Max Number of Different Characters

Enter a value from 0 to 5 in the field provided to define the maximum number of different characters allowed to still consider a code as being included in another code and therefore to be filtered.

If the number of different characters between the compared codes exceeds the value of this parameter, the codes are considered as different and will not be filtered (a multiple read of a different code occurs).

If the number of different characters between the compared codes is less than or equal to the value of this parameter, the short code is considered as a sub-string of the longer code and will be filtered (no multiple read occurs).

Examples: If Max Number of Different Characters = 2: The code 123456 read once, is considered the same as the following codes read

multiple times: 133056, 123546, 123457 because there are two or less different characters by position in the compared codes.

The code 123456 read once, is not considered the same as the following codes read multiple times: 153246, 103057, 654321 because there are at least three different characters by position in the compared codes.

Voting Filter

Select the check box to reveal the Max Number of Different Characters field. When checked, this filter attempts to eliminate false multiple reads by comparing

the number of different characters by position between two codes of the same type and length. This condition implicates that reading a code of the same type and length having very few different characters is probably a misread of the code itself and therefore the code read the least number of times should be ignored, (should not be considered as a multiple read of a different code).

This filter is based upon the following rules:

Filter Out Low Height Codes

Select the check box to reveal the Minimum Readings Difference Between Scanners field.

Background: This option was developed for the airports systems where there are often tall bar height codes and low bar height codes with the same content attached to baggage. Travelers will often remove the large, tall bar height code, while leaving the smaller, low bar height codes attached to the bag. The next time they travel they may have multiple low bar height codes on their baggage plus the new tall bar height and low bar height codes for the new trip.

This option instructs the system to ignore low bar height codes, which are likely read only once or twice, in favor of tall bar height codes, which will likely be read multiple times.

This is used in tunnel applications where multiple barcodes are read and there is a need to filter out one of the barcodes. If less than x number of scanners read the barcode, then it will be considered a NOREAD for that code.

The code 123456 read once, is not considered the same as the following codes read multiple times: 153246, 103057, 654321 because there are at least three different characters by position in the compared codes.

Voting Filter

Select the check box to reveal the Max Number of Different Characters field. When checked, this filter attempts to eliminate false multiple reads by comparing

the number of different characters by position between two codes of the same type and length. This condition implicates that reading a code of the same type and length having very few different characters is probably a misread of the code itself and therefore the code read the least number of times should be ignored, (should not be considered as a multiple read of a different code).

This filter is based upon the following rules:

a multiple read condition occurs; the two codes are of the same type; the two codes have the same length; the number of different characters by position is equal to or less than the number defined by the Max Number of Different Characters

Message Tx Selection

Max Number of Different Characters

Enter a value from 0 to 5 in the field provided to define the maximum number of different characters allowed to still consider a code as being included in another one and therefore to be filtered.

If the number of different characters between the compared codes exceeds the value of this parameter, the codes are considered as different and will not be filtered (a multiple read of a different code occurs).

If the number of different characters between the compared codes is less than or equal to the value of this parameter, the short code is considered as a sub-string of the longer code and will be filtered (no multiple read occurs).

Examples: If Max Number of Different Characters = 2: The code 123456 read once, is considered the same as the following codes read

multiple times: 133056, 123546, 123457 because there are two or less different characters by position in the compared codes.

The code 123456 read once, is not considered the same as the following codes read multiple times: 153246, 103057, 654321 because there are at least three different characters by position in the compared codes.
