Rapid Configuration

Step 1 - Connect the System

To connect the system in a Stand Alone configuration, you need the hardware indicated in Figure 1. In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the Ethernet interface. Data can also be transmitted on the RS232 main and/or auxiliary interface independently from the Ethernet interface selection.

When One Shot or Phase Mode Operating mode is used, the reader is activated by an External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

3.Refer to the reading diagrams in Chapter 6, to determine the distance your reader should be positioned at.

Rapid Configuration of the Matrix 220 reader can be made either through the X-

PRESS interface (steps 3-4) which requires no PC connection, or by using the DL.CODE

Configuration Program (steps 5-6). Select the procedure according to your needs. NOTE

4	Matrix 220

Step 3 - Aim and Autofocus the Reader

Step 3 - Aim and Autofocus the Reader

Matrix 220 provides a built-in LED aiming system to aid reader positioning. 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 "Global FOV Diagrams" on page 87 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 aiming system turns on, and the Autofocus procedure begins, see Figure 4 -. The Aim LED will blink until the procedure is completed.

Within 3 seconds (before the reader flashes), center one of the larger codes between the aiming system indicators (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 220 emits 3 high pitched beeps.

If the Autofocus cannot be reached after a timeout of about 3 (three) minutes Matrix 220 will exit without saving the parameters to memory, the Aim LED will stop blinking and in this case Matrix 220 emits a long low pitched beep.

Figure 4 - X-PRESS Interface; Aim/Autofocus Function

You can exit the Aim/Autofocus function at any time by pressing the X-PRESS push

button once. After a short delay the autofocus procedure is cancelled and the aiming

indicators turn off. NOTE

Product Reference Guide

Rapid Configuration

Step 4 - X-PRESS Configuration

Once Matrix 220 is focused at the correct reading distance, you must configure it for optimal code reading relative to your application.

Aim

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

2.Release the button to enter the Aim function. The aiming system turns on.

3.Select a single code from your application. Position the code at the center of the FOV (equidistant from the aiming indicators.

The reader may start flashing and try to perform autofocus however this will have no effect on the application specific code; it can be ignored.

Exit the Aim function by pressing the X-PRESS push button once. After a short delay the Aim function is cancelled and the aiming indicators turn off.

Setup

4.Enter the Setup function by pressing and holding the X-PRESS push button until the Setup LED is on.

5.Release the button to enter the Setup function. The Setup LED will blink until the procedure is completed.

The Setup procedure ends when the Image Acquisition parameters are successfully saved in the reader memory, the Setup LED will stop blinking and Matrix 220 emits 3 high pitched beeps.

If the calibration cannot be reached after a timeout of about 5 (five) seconds Matrix 220 will exit without saving the parameters to memory, the Setup LED will stop blinking and in this case Matrix 220 emits a long low pitched beep.

Learn

6.Enter the Learn function by pressing and holding the X-PRESS push button until the Learn LED is on.

7.Release the button to enter the Learn function. The Learn LED will blink until the procedure is completed.

The Learn procedure ends when the Image Processing and Decoding parameters are successfully saved in the reader memory, the Green Spot is activated, the Learn LED will stop blinking and Matrix 220 emits 3 high pitched beeps1.

1.The Code Autolearn procedure will not recognize the following symbologies: Pharmacode, MSI, Standard 2 of 5, Matrix 2 of 5.

6	Matrix 220

Step 4 - X-PRESS Configuration

If the autolearning cannot be reached after a timeout of about 3 (three) minutes Matrix 220 will exit without saving the parameters to memory, the Learn LED will stop blinking and in this case Matrix 220 emits a long low pitched beep.

The Grade A Barcode Test Chart cannot be used to set the Code 128 symbology (even

though the reader successfully reads the code). Use the application specific code if

you need to set this symbology. NOTE

When using X-PRESS or the BM150 menu to perform Auto-Learn, only a single code

can be configured (successive Learns will substitute the current code). To configure

multiple codes, use the DL.CODE Auto-Learn procedure. NOTE

You can always exit from any X-PRESS function at any time by pressing the X-PRESS push button once. After a short delay the procedure is cancelled.

NOTE

If you have used this procedure to configure Matrix 220, go to step 7.

NOTE

Reset Reader to Factory Default Environment (Optional)

If it ever becomes necessary to reset the reader’s Environment parameters to their factory default values, you can perform this procedure by holding the X- PRESS push button pressed while powering up the reader. You must keep the X- PRESS push button pressed until all LEDs blink simultaneously for about 3 seconds. Release and re-press the button during this LED blinking sequence.

All the device’s Environment parameters are reset including the default IP Address. The Matrix 220 emits 3 high pitched beeps and after a few seconds enters run mode.

Any previously saved configurations on the device will remain in memory, but the Default configuration is set as the startup configuration.

If you release the button while the LEDs are all on continuously (after the blinking

phase), the reader will enter the Loader program sequence and the LEDs will begin to

cycle through various patterns. Just cycle power to return to run mode. NOTE

Step 5 - Installing DL.CODE Configuration Program

DL.CODE does not currently support Windows Embedded (often used in industrial PCs and/or PLCs).

CAUTION

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

To install DL.CODE:

1.On the PC that will be used for configuration, (running Windows 7, 8.1, 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.

To perform a “silent” installation (without user input), see the DL.CODE User’s Guide.

NOTE

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. Doubleclick the desktop icon to run it.

This configuration procedure assumes a laptop computer, running DL.CODE, is connected to a factory default reader through the Ethernet port.

Device Discovery

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.

Step 5 - Installing DL.CODE Configuration Program

Figure 5 - Device Discovery

The discovery feature will also show devices not belonging to the LAN and display them in grey (see Figure 5 -).

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.

Automatic or Advanced Setup

Automatic Setup provides an automatic procedure for setting: optical/ illumination, reading distance, and code definition parameters to obtain the most stable decoding conditions for a single code symbology based on the images presented to the reader. It can be set to include Image Filters if necessary. See the table below for codes and filters managed by Automatic Setup. Automatic Setup is especially useful for DPM applications.

Advanced Setup provides access to the complete array of optical/illumination, focusing adjustment, and code definition parameters that can be fine-tuned semiautomatically and manually to obtain the best results for applications of any complexity.

If your application requires multiple code symbologies, multiple image settings, Code

Grading or other parameter settings for decoding, then use the Advanced Setup, see

page15. NOTE

Automatic Setup

To begin configuration, the reader must be correctly mounted so that its Field of View covers the application reading area.

1.From the Task Area select Open Device Configuration.

2.The Open Device Configuration window opens showing the list of currently saved configurations (jobs) saved on the device. For new devices, the only saved job is the Default configuration. Click OK. The device enters run mode and begins acquiring images.

3.Place the application code in front of the reader at the correct application reading distance.

4. Click on the Pause button to stop image acquisition.

If the image display area is too dark to see the images being captured, you can drag

the Gain and Exposure Time sliders (circled in red in the figure above) to the right to

increase visibility. This will not affect Automatic Setup. NOTE

5.Click on the Start Automatic Setup button. The following window is displayed:
