STEP 3 – X-PRESS CONFIGURATION FOR SOFTWARE ADJUSTABLE

FOCUS MODELS

Matrix 210N liquid lens models provide a built-in laser pointer aiming system to aid reader positioning. For these models the autofocus feature is also incorporated into this function. The aiming system is accessed through the X-PRESS Interface.

1. Power the reader on. During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), all the LEDs blink for one second. On the reverse side of the reader near the bracket, the “POWER ON” LED (blue) indicates the reader is correctly powered.

2. Place the Grade A Barcode Test Chart in front of the reader at the correct reading distance for your application. See the Global FOV Diagrams in chapter 6 for reference.

3. Enter the Aim/Autofocus function by pressing and holding the X-PRESS push button until the Aim LED is on.

4. Release the button to enter the Aim function. The laser pointers turn on, and the Autofocus procedure begins, see Figure 6. The Aim LED will blink until the procedure is completed.

Within 3 seconds (before the reader flashes), center one of the larger codes on the aiming system pointers (the code must not move during this procedure).

The Autofocus procedure ends when the Reading Distance and PPI values are successfully saved in the reader memory, the Aim LED will stop blinking and Matrix 210N emits 3 high pitched beeps.

If the Autofocus cannot be reached after a timeout of about 3 (three) minutes Matrix 210N will exit without saving the parameters to memory, the Aim LED will stop blinking and in this case Matrix 210N emits a long low pitched beep.

Page 19

RAPID CONFIGURATION

5. Repeat the Aim function, but now position a single code from your application at the center of the

FOV (equidistant from the laser pointers). The reader may start flashing and try to perform

autofocus.

6. To avoid overwriting the distance and PPI values previously set, exit the Aim function by pressing the X-PRESS push button once.

After a short delay the Aim function is cancelled and the laser pointers turn off.

STEP 5 – INSTALLING DL.CODE CONFIGURATION PROGRAM

DL.CODE is a Datalogic reader configuration tool providing several important advantages:

 Intuitive Graphical User Interface for rapid configuration;  Defined configuration directly stored in the reader;  Discovery and IP address setting features to facilitate remote configuration  Device Monitoring  Device Driver Installation

To install DL.CODE:

1. On the PC that will be used for configuration, (running Windows XP SP3, 7, 8, or 10), download the DL.CODE mini-DVD .zip file. Extract the files maintaining the folder structure and run the start.hta file to access the installation pop-up. Click on the Install DL.CODE link to run the installation program and follow the installation procedure.

2. When the installation is complete the DL.CODE entry is created in the Start>Programs bar under “Datalogic” as well as a desktop icon. Double-click the desktop icon to run it.

Depending on your Matrix 210N model, you can connect to the DL.CODE configuration environment through one of the following interfaces:

* All devices except dedicated USB models can be configured through their Main or Aux Serial port. However, through these interfaces, configuration is slower than the Ethernet interface and presents some limitations. It is recommended to use the Serial interface for configuration only if no other interface is available.

RAPID CONFIGURATION

STEP 5A – ETHERNET DEVICE DISCOVERY

The following configuration procedure assumes a laptop computer, running DL.CODE, is connected to a factory default reader through the Ethernet port. See Step 1 – Connect the System.

The User Interface opens and displays a list of all the devices belonging to the Local Area Network. DL.CODE has a discovery feature to accomplish this task.

Figure 14 – Device Discovery

The discovery feature will also show devices not belonging to the LAN and display them in grey (see Figure 14).

3. First the device must be added to the LAN by aligning its IP Address to the network. The network administrator should provide valid LAN address(es).

4. Find your device in the list by matching its serial number (SN) then click on the device wrench icon to open the Device Environment Configuration window.

5. Change the Ethernet Settings (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address etc.) according to the network requirements.

STEP 5B – USB DEVICE DISCOVERY

The following configuration procedure assumes that a laptop computer running DL.CODE is connected to a Matrix 210N USB model factory default reader through the USB port.

Matrix 210N USB devices require their virtual COM port driver to be installed on the PC being used for configuration. This can be done in two ways:

 If the PC used for configuration is connected to internet and has access to Windows

Update, then the correct device driver will automatically be installed.

 If the PC used for configuration is not connected to internet and does not have

access to Windows Update, then the correct device driver can be installed from the DL.CODE mini-DVD (downloaded zip file or mini-DVD accessory). The installation file is located in the Software\ SW Utilities\USB Virtual COM Port Drivers directory. See the paragraph below for installation instructions.

The USB Virtual COM Port Driver allows sending serial data using the Matrix 210N USB port. A different virtual COM Port will be assigned to each connected reader.

Installing the USB Virtual COM port drivers:

1. Double-click on one of the following files to launch the correct USB Virtual COM Port Driver Installer for your PC.

 Windows XP//7 (x32) = "DPInst.exe"  Windows 7, 8, 10 (x64) = "DPInstx64.exe"

The driver will be installed. For updated drivers or more details go to ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm.

CAUTION: If application codes must be read which are produced by Laser Marking in real time, use Matrix 210N models incorporating YAG Filters in order to avoid burning the CMOS sensor.

2.7.5 Laser Marking/Etching Technology

Figure 28 - Data Matrix Code Directly Marked on PCB Surface by Using Laser Etching Technology

2.8 EXTERNAL LIGHTING SYSTEMS

In some direct part marking applications best reading results are obtained by using an external lighting system.

The LT-700 Linear Array Lighting System provides a high intensity light source designed for the following applications:

 with uneven, noisy and scratched surfaces  where dot peening or laser etching codes are directly marked onto metal surfaces or

PCBs and need to be highlighted. Here the use of more than one LT-700 at different positions can remove any shadowing effect.

 in the presence of highly reflective surfaces (metal, glass, etc.) causing direct reflections.

Low light path to surface angles strongly reduce direct reflections.

Matrix 210N is able to decode code labels at a variety of angles, however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.

When mounting Matrix 210N, take into consideration these ideal label position angles: Pitch

or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°. Note: Since Matrix 210N is omni-directional on the code plane, the Pitch and Skew angles

have the same significance with respect to the code plane. However in some advanced code reading applications performance can be improved by modifying the Skew angle.

The Pitch, Skew and Tilt angles are represented in Figure 40. Follow the suggestions below for the best orientation:

Position the reader in order to avoid the direct reflection of the light emitted by the Matrix 210N reader; it is advised to assure at least 10° for the Skew angle.

inside FOV

In some cases, such as low contrast or low illumination, it can be useful to use a Pitch or Skew angle = 0°.

Matrix 210N can read labels with any tilt angle. Keep in mind however, that since linear barcodes are rectangular, the reader should be aligned to fit them into the horizontal FOV.

See chp. 6 for FOV and Reading Distance considerations.

4.3.1 ID-NET Cables

The following instructions are referred to Figure 46, Figure 47 and Figure 48.

 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).

 Reader's chassis may be connected to earth.  Network inside the same building.

* Application dependent, contact your Datalogic Automation representative for details.

4.5 INPUTS

There are two optocoupled polarity insensitive inputs available on the reader: Input 1 (External Trigger) and Input 2, a generic input:

The External Trigger can be used in One Shot Mode or in Phase Mode. Its main functions are:

 acquisition trigger in One Shot Mode  reading phase-ON/reading phase-OFF command in Phase Mode

The main functions of the general purpose Input 2 are:

 second external trigger in Phase Mode  match code storage command when the Match Code option is enabled

The electrical features of both inputs are:

VAB = 30 Vdc max.

IIN = 12 mA (reader) + 12 mA (CBX) max. The active state of these inputs is selected in software. An anti-disturbance filter, by default, is implemented in software on both inputs. The value

can be changed through the software parameter Debounce Filter. See the Help On Line page of the Reading Phase step (Inputs) in DL.CODE for further details on these parameters.

These inputs are optocoupled and can be driven by both NPN and PNP type commands.

The connections are indicated in the following diagrams:

The yellow Trigger LED (Figure 19, 5) is on when the active state of the External Trigger corresponds to ON.

4.6 OUTPUTS

Two optocoupled general purpose outputs are available. The meaning of the two outputs Output 1 and Output 2 can be defined by the user. They are typically used either to signal the data collection result or to control an external lighting system.

The electrical features of the two outputs are the following:

VCE = 30 Vdc max.

ICE = 40 mA continuous max.; 130 mA pulsed max. By default, Output 1 is associated with the No Read event, which activates when the code(s)

signaled by the external trigger are not decoded, and Output 2 is associated with the Good Read event, which activates when all the selected codes are correctly decoded.

The output signals are fully programmable being determined by the configured Activation/Deactivation events, Deactivation Timeout or a combination of the two. Refer to the DL.CODE parameters Help On Line for further details.

4.8 ON-BOARD ETHERNET INTERFACE

The on-board Ethernet Interface can be used for TCP/IP communication with a remote or local host computer by connecting the reader to either a LAN or directly to a host PC. There is no need to use a crossover adapter since Matrix 210N incorporates an auto-cross function.

A CAB-ETH-M0x cable can be used to connect to a LAN.

On the Matrix 210N on-board Ethernet interface the following communication channels are available:

 TCP Client  TCP Server  UDP Client  FTP Client

The following Fieldbus protocols are also available over the on-board Ethernet interface:

 EtherNet/IP  PROFINET IO  Modbus TCP Client

For further details refer to the Help On Line page of the Reading Phase step (Channels) and (Fieldbuses) in DL.CODE.

TYPICAL LAYOUTS

NOTE: All software configurations are made through DL.CODE which connects to the reader through the on-board Ethernet interface.

NOTE: DL.CODE now supports several different multi device configuration types using the PASS-THROUGH configuration. In particular this feature

allows MULTIDATA ID-NET network configurations to be made. Master/Slave SYNCHRONIZED ID-NET network configurations are also configurable as before.

NOTE: The Master/Slave Role is only significant for the Internal ID-NET Network. If your layout doesn’t use the ID-NET network then the device’s Role is not significant and can be ignored.

5.4 PASS-THROUGH

The pass-through layout allows each device working Alone, to collect data from one or more pass-through input channels and send this data plus its own on one or more different output channels.

In this way independent devices can be connected together in combinations to create multi device networks. Many devices reading independently can send their messages through a common output channel which instead of being directed at a Host can be collected by another device on its pass-through input channel and sent to a Host on a different output channel.

= Ethernet TCP/IP Server 2

= Aux Serial Interface (RS232)

In a Pass-through layout each device supports multiple pass-through configurations to accept input from different devices on different channels (i.e. middle reader above). However, readers are not required to have a pass-through configuration if they don’t need to receive data from an input channel (i.e. right reader above). The overall data collection device always has at least one pass-through configuration to collect the input data from the other devices and send it to the Host (i.e. left reader above).

All devices always support multiple output channels (i.e. for data monitoring). In a Pass-through layout each device can have a different operating mode: Continuous, One

Shot, Phase Mode, etc.

A special case of the pass-through layout allows each Slave device working Alone, to collect data from one or more pass-through input channels and send this data plus its own on the ID-NET output channel to the Master.

The Slave readers are connected together using the ID-NET interface. Every Slave reader must have an ID-NET address in the range 1-31.

The Master collects the data from its pass-through ID-NET input channel and sends it to the Host on a different output channel.

In a Pass-through layout each device supports multiple pass-through configurations to accept input from different devices on different channels (i.e. Master reader above). However, ID-NET Slave readers are not required to have a pass-through configuration if they don’t need to receive data from an input channel (i.e. right reader above). The ID-NET Master always has at least one pass-through configuration to collect the ID-NET Slaves data and send it to the Host.

All devices always support multiple output channels (i.e. for data monitoring). In a Pass-through layout each device can have a different operating mode: Continuous, One

5.6 ID-NET SYNCHRONIZED NETWORK

When the device is working Synchronized, the ID-NET connection is used to collect data from several readers to build a multi-point or a multi-sided reading system; there can be one Master and up to 31 Slaves connected together.

The Slave readers are connected together using the ID-NET interface. Every Slave reader must have an ID-NET address in the range 1-31.

The Master reader is also connected to the Host on one of its communication channels. In the following examples the RS232/RS422 main serial interface is used.

For a Master/Slave Synchronized layout the External Trigger signal is unique to the system; there is a single reading phase and a single message from the Master reader to the Host computer. It is not necessary to bring the External Trigger signal to all the readers.

In the Master/Slave Synchronized layout the Master operating mode can only be set to Phase Mode.

The Main and ID-NET interfaces are connected as shown in the following figures.

The Master reader can be connected to the CBX series connection box with the advantage of the Backup and Restore configuration function (CBX + BM100 module).

All devices always support multiple output channels (i.e. for data monitoring).

Alternatively, the Master reader can communicate to the Host as a Slave node on a Fieldbus network. This requires using an accessory Fieldbus interface board installed inside the CBX500 connection box. System configuration can be accomplished through the Ethernet interface of each individual reader using the DL.CODE configuration program.

6.2 FOV CALCULATION

Use the data in the following table to calculate the FOV for your application, referring to Figure 75 and the formula below.

The viewing angle has a tolerance of  1° depending on the reading distance.

where:

FOVx = horizontal, vertical or diagonal FOV



= horizontal, vertical or diagonal viewing angles.

d = reading distance (from window surface to code surface) d0 = offset (from center of lens to window surface)

Example:

The FOV for a Matrix 210 225-111 at a reading distance of 120 mm is:

FOVH = 2 [(120 mm + 14 mm) tan (35°/2)]  85 mm FOVV = 2 [(120 mm + 14 mm) tan (23°/2)]  55 mm
