RAPID CONFIGURATION

STEP 2 – MOUNT AND POSITION THE READER

1. To mount the Matrix 300™, use the mounting brackets to obtain the most suitable position for the reader. The most common mounting configuration is shown in the figure below.

Figure 2 –Positioning with Mounting Bracket

2. When mounting the Matrix 300™ take into consideration these three ideal label position angles: Pitch or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°, although the reader can read a code at any tilt angle provided the code fits into the Field Of View (FOV).

Figure 3 – Pitch, Tilt and Skew Angles

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

NOTE: Rapid Configuration of the Matrix 300™ reader can be made either through the X-PRESS™ interface (steps 3-4) which requires no PC connection, or by using the VisiSet™ Setup Wizard (steps 5-6). Select the procedure according to your needs.

STEP 3 – AIM AND AUTOFOCUS THE READER

(Liquid Lens Models only)

Matrix 300™ provides a built-in laser pointer aiming system to aid reader positioning. For Liquid Lens 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 Reading 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 4. 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 300™

emits 3 high pitched beeps.

If the Autofocus cannot be reached after a timeout of about 3 (three) minutes Matrix 300™

will exit without saving the parameters to memory, the Aim LED will stop blinking and in this case Matrix 300™ emits a long low pitched beep.

Figure 4 – X-PRESS™ Interface: Aim/Autofocus Function

NOTE: 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 laser pointers turn off.

Page 17

RAPID CONFIGURATION

(Fixed Lens Models only)

The Matrix 300™ fixed lens models are factory focused to a precise Reading Distance. If this

distance is compatible with your application you can use the X-PRESS™ Interface to install the reader, if not, use the VisiSet™ procedure described in step 6B.

1. Place the reader at the factory focused Reading Distance and go to step 4.

Factory focus for 6 mm fixed lens models is 85 mm.

STEP 4 – X-PRESS™ CONFIGURATION

Once Matrix 300™ has focused at the correct reading distance, you must configure it for

optimal code reading relative to your application. This configuration can be performed either through the X-PRESS™ Interface or the VisiSet™ configuration program.

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 laser pointers turn on.

3. Select a single code from your application. Position the code at the center of the FOV (equidistant from the laser pointers).

For Liquid Lens models 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 laser pointers 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 300™ emits 3 high pitched beeps.

If the calibration cannot be reached after a timeout

of about 5 (five) seconds Matrix 300™ will exit

without saving the parameters to memory, the Setup LED will stop blinking and in this case Matrix 300™ 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 300™ emits 3 high pitched beeps1.

If the autolearning cannot be reached after a

timeout of about 3 (three) minutes Matrix 300™ will

exit without saving the parameters to memory, the Learn LED will stop blinking and in this case Matrix 300™ emits a long low pitched beep.

Figure 7 – X-PRESS™ Interface: Learn

Function

NOTE: 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: You can exit the Learn function at any time by pressing the XPRESS™ push button once. After a short delay the Learn procedure is cancelled.

NOTE: If you have used this procedure to configure Matrix 300™ go to step

Reset Reader to Factory Default (Optional)

If it ever becomes necessary to reset the reader to the 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 the power up sequence is completed (several seconds) and all LEDs blink simultaneously 3 times.

All LEDs remain on for about 1 second, then off for one second, the Configuration and Environmental parameters are reset, and the status LED remains on. If connected through a CBX500 with display module, the message "Default Set" is shown on the display.

The Learn procedure will not recognize Pharmacode symbologies.

STEP 5 – INSTALLING VISISET™ CONFIGURATION PROGRAM

VisiSet™ is a Datalogic reader configuration tool providing several important advantages:

 Setup Wizard for rapid configuration and new users;  Defined configuration directly stored in the reader;  Communication protocol independent from the physical interface allowing the reader to

be considered as a remote object to be configured and monitored.

To install VisiSet™, turn on the PC that will be used for the configuration, running Windows 98, 2000/NT, XP, Vista, 7 or 8; then insert the VisiSet™ Mini-DVD, wait for it to autorun and follow the installation procedure.

This configuration procedure assumes a laptop computer, running VisiSet™, is connected to the reader's auxiliary port. The reader can also be connected to VisiSet™ through the on-

board Ethernet by following the procedure in chp. 7. After installing and running the VisiSet™ software program the following window:

2.3 ID-NET™

The ID-NET™ network is a built-in high-speed interface dedicated for high-speed reader interconnection. ID-NET™ is in addition to the Main and Auxiliary serial interfaces.

The following network configurations are available:

 ID-NET™ M/S Synchronized: Single station – multiple readers

ID-NET™ interface allows local connection of multiple readers reading different sides of the same target. All readers share a single presence sensor and activate/deactivate simultaneously.

At the end of each reading phase a single data message is transmitted to the host. Thanks to ID-NET™, data communication among readers is highly efficient so that an

immediate result will be available.

Page 37

INTRODUCTION

 ID-NET™ M/S Multidata: Multiple stations – single reader

ID-NET™ interface allows connection of readers reading objects placed on independent conveyors. All readers are typically located far away from each other and they use a dedicated presence sensor.

At the end of each reading phase, each reader transmits its own data message to the host. Thanks to ID-NET™, data collection among readers is accomplished at a high speed without the need of an external multiplexing device. This leads to an overall cost reduction and to a simple system wiring.

3.3 MOUNTING AND POSITIONING MATRIX 300™

Using the Matrix 300™ mounting brackets you can obtain rotation on the various axes of the

reader as shown in the diagram below:

Figure 27 –Positioning with Mounting Bracket

Tilt

Pitch

Page 58

MATRIX 300™ REFERENCE MANUAL

Matrix 300™ is able to decode code labels at a variety of angles; however significant angular

distortion may degrade reading performance.

When mounting Matrix 300™, take into consideration these ideal label position angles: Pitch or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°.

Note: Since Matrix 300™ 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 28. 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 300™

reader; it is advised to assure at least 10° for the Skew angle.

Figure 28 - Code Reading Orientation

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

The Tilt angle is also represented in Figure 29. Matrix 300™ 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.

4 CBX ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

All Matrix 300™ models can be connected to a CBX connection box through one of the

available CAB-DSxx-S accessory cables. These accessory cables terminate in an M12 17pin connector on the Matrix 300™ side and in a 25-pin male D-sub connector on the CBX side.

We recommend making system connections through one of the CBX connection boxes since they offer the advantages of easy connection, easy device replacement, opto-isolated outputs (Outputs 1 and 2), and filtered reference signals.

NOTE: If you require direct wiring to the reader the connections are the same as shown in this chapter with the exception of the digital Outputs. Direct wiring details are indicated in Appendix A

The table below gives the pinout of the CBX100/500 terminal block connectors. Use this pinout when the Matrix 300™ reader is connected by means of the CBX100/500:

4.3.1 ID-NET™ Cables

The following instructions are referred to Figure 41, Figure 42 and Figure 43.

 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.

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 = 10 mA (reader) + 12 mA (CBX) max.

The active state of these inputs are selected in software. Refer to the VisiSet™ Help On

Line. An anti-disturbance filter is implemented in software on both inputs so that the default

minimum pulse duration is  0.5 milliseconds. This value can be increased or decreased through the software parameter Debounce Filter, see the Digital I/O folder in the VisiSet™ Help On Line for further details.

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

NOTE: Polarity insensitive inputs assure full functionality even if pins A and B are exchanged.

The connections are indicated in the following diagrams:

The following typical layouts refer to system hardware configurations. However, they also require the correct setup of the software configuration parameters. Dotted lines in the figures refer to optional hardware configurations within the particular layout.

5.1 POINT-TO-POINT

In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the main serial interface. The RS232 auxiliary interface can be used for reader configuration by connecting a laptop computer

running VisiSet™. Host Mode programming can be accomplished either through the main

interface or the Auxiliary interface. In Local Echo communication mode, data is transmitted on the RS232 auxiliary interface

independently from the main interface selection. When One Shot or Phase Mode operating mode is used, the reader can be activated by an

External Trigger (for example a pulse from a photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

5.2 ID-NET™ SYNCHRONIZED NETWORK

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 the RS232/RS485/422 main serial interface.

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, auxiliary, and ID-NET™ interfaces are connected as shown in the following figures.

Figure 62 – ID-NET™ M/S Synchronized Layout

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).

5.3 ID-NET™ MULTIDATA NETWORK

For a Master/Slave Multidata layout each reader has its own reading phase independent from the others; each single message is sent from the master reader to the Host computer.

Figure 67 – ID-NET™ M/S Multidata

NOTE: The auxiliary serial interface of the slave readers can be used in Local Echo communication mode to control any single reader (visualize collected data) or to configure it using the VisiSet™ utility.

The ID-NET™ termination resistor switches must be set to ON only in the first and last CBX connection box.

The same configuration can be made to a Host using a TCP/IP Ethernet interface. In this case the Master is connected to a CBX500 with BM200/210 Host Interface Module installed.

The TCP/IP Ethernet, auxiliary, and ID-NET™ interfaces are connected as shown in the figure below.

5.4 PASS-THROUGH

An alternative Pass-Through layout allows the more efficient ID-NET™ network to be used. This layout is really an ID-NET Master/Slave Multidata layout which also allows each reader (Master and Slaves) to accept input on the Auxiliary interface, for example to connect a device such as a hand-held reader for manual code reading capability.

Each Matrix 300™ transmits its own messages plus any messages received by its Auxiliary

interface onto the ID-NET™ interface. The Master passes all messages to the Host. When One Shot or Phase Mode operating mode is used, the reader can be activated by an

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

NOTE: The reading device connected to the Host can be connected to a Fieldbus network using a Host Interface module through a CBX500 connection box.

5.5 ETHERNET CONNECTION

The Ethernet connection is possible in two different layouts. In both layouts, before proceeding with the connection, it is necessary to configure the reader Ethernet parameters via VisiSet™. For further details, see the Ethernet Folder in the VisiSet™ Help On Line.

In a Point-to-Point layout the reader is connected to a local host by using a CAB-ETH-M0x cable. There is no need to use a crossover adapter since Matrix 300™ incorporates an autocross function.

The FOV for a Matrix 300 412-0xx at a reading distance of 200 mm is:

FOVH = 2 [(200 mm + 14 mm) tan (40°/2)]  156 mm

FOVV = 2 [(200 mm + 14 mm) tan (32°/2)]  123 mm

NOTE: The following diagrams are given for typical performance at 25°C using high quality grade A symbols according to ISO/IEC 15416 (1D code) and ISO/IEC 15415 (2D code) print quality test specifications. Testing should

be performed with actual application codes in order to maximize the application performance.

6.2 READING DIAGRAMS

 The following reading diagrams are to be considered as references and are given for

typical performance at 25°C using high quality grade A symbols: Code 128 (1D code) and Data Matrix ECC 200 (2D code) from the Test Charts provided with the reader.

 Testing should be performed with the actual Matrix 300™ using application codes in

order to evaluate whether maximizing application performance requires adjustments to the HW/SW configuration with respect to the Reference Conditions given under each diagram.

 The ratio of the Vertical FOV width with respect to the Horizontal FOV width in the

diagrams is about equal to 0.8; specifically 1024/1280. (i.e. FOVV.  FOVH x 0.8).

 The reading distance ranges are measured from the reading window surface.  The max theoretical Line Speed values for each diagram can be calculated using the

formula in par. 6.5.

 Common software parameter settings for all 6 mm models reading all code symbologies,

and all 9 mm models reading 1D code symbologies are: Processing Mode=Advanced Code Setting; Self Tuning=Disabled. For 9 mm models reading 2D code symbologies: Processing Mode=Standard; Self Tuning=Enabled; Self Tuning Mode=Processing Modes Only.

 When defining a HW/SW configuration for the Matrix 300™ for conditions different from

those of the reference diagrams, it is suggested to keep in mind the following rules:

 Changes in Exposure Time act directly proportional to the luminosity of the image

and inversely proportional to the maximum code reading movement speed. Consequently, reducing the Exposure Time by half, reduces the luminosity of the image by half but doubles the theoretical code reading movement speed.

 Changes in Gain act directly proportional to the luminosity of the image.

Increasing the Gain value however, can reduce the quality of the acquired image.

 At the center of the field of view, the lighting power of the “RED WIDE” illuminator

is about equal to twice that of the “WHITE WIDE” illuminator, 1.5 times that of the

“MLT-DPM” illuminator, and 2.9 times that of the “LT-DPM” illuminator.

 For the two DPM illuminators, the overall lighting power being considered is from

the four Central LED chains, unless specified otherwise.

6.2.1 Pre-Configured .INI Files

Each depth of field (DOF) range shown in the various Reading Diagrams can be obtained by loading a pre-configured .ini file that already contains the parameter settings necessary to replicate the reading diagram results.

These .ini files are provided with and can be loaded from the VisiSet™ installation directory as in the following example:

C:\Program Files\Datalogic\VisiSet2\Std_660\Reading Diagram Configuration Files\412-xxx RED Wide

The names of the .ini files correspond to the specific Reading Diagrams; they indicate the Code Type, Code Resolution, Reading Distance, and Luminosity variable settings (A or B if any). These can be directly matched to the relative Reading Diagram to obtain the desired DOF.
