RAPID CONFIGURATION

1 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 main serial interface. Data can also be transmitted on the RS232 auxiliary interface independently from the main 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.

RAPID CONFIGURATION

STEP 2 – MOUNT AND POSITION THE READER

1. To mount the Matrix 300N, 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 300N 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 300N reader can be made either through the X-PRESS™ interface (steps 3-4) which requires no PC connection, or by using the DL.CODE Setup Wizard (steps 5-6). Select the procedure according to your needs.

STEP 3 – AIM AND AUTOFOCUS THE READER

(Liquid Lens Models only)

Matrix 300N 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 300N emits 3 high pitched beeps.

If the Autofocus cannot be reached after a timeout of about 3 (three) minutes Matrix 300N will exit without saving the parameters to memory, the Aim LED will stop blinking and in this case Matrix 300N 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.

(Manual Adjustable Focus Models only)

The Matrix 300N manual adjustable focus 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 DL.CODE procedure described in step 6 “Image Setup for Manual Adjustable Focus Models”.

Page 17

RAPID CONFIGURATION

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

Matrix 300N 4x1-0xx 6 mm lens = 85 mm

Matrix 300N 4x4-0xx 12 mm lens = 250 mm

Matrix 300N 4x3-0xx 9 mm lens = 180 mm

Matrix 300N 4x5-0xx 16 mm lens = 320 mm

STEP 4 – X-PRESS CONFIGURATION

Once Matrix 300N is 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 DL.CODE 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.

Figure 5 – X-PRESS Interface: Aim

Function

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 300N emits 3 high pitched beeps.

If the calibration cannot be reached after a timeout of about 5 (five) seconds Matrix 300N will exit without saving the parameters to memory, the Setup LED will stop blinking and in this case Matrix 300N emits a long low pitched beep.

Figure 6 – X-PRESS Interface: Setup

Function

Page 18

MATRIX 300N™ REFERENCE MANUAL

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 for a single code are successfully saved in the reader memory, the Green Spot is activated, the Learn LED will stop blinking, and Matrix 300N emits 3 high pitched beeps1.

If the autolearning cannot be reached after a timeout of about 3 (three) minutes Matrix 300N will exit without saving the parameters to memory, the Learn LED will stop blinking and in this case Matrix 300N 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: When using X-PRESS or the BM150 menu to perform the 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 300N go to step

The Learn procedure will not recognize the following symbologies: Postal Codes, Pharmacode, MSI, Standard 2 of 5,

Matrix 2 of 5.

Page 19

RAPID CONFIGURATION

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 all LEDs blink

simultaneously for about 3 seconds. Release and re-press the button during this LED blinking sequence.

The Configuration and Environment parameters are reset. The Matrix 300N emits 3 high pitched beeps and after a few seconds enters run mode.

NOTE: 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.

Good Read Setup

1. Select your specific data collection type from the icons over the Configuration Parameters tree area: Code Collection, Code Combination, Presentation or Match Code. Not all data collection types are available for all Operating Modes; for example PackTrack Operating Mode only supports Code Combination. Incompatible data collection types will be shown in grey and cannot be selected.

The following example shows Code Combination. By default, the Expected Codes (when more than one code type is selected), are in logical AND, which means that all codes are required to be decoded to produce a Good Read condition.

2. If a Good Read condition should be produced when any single code is decoded, independent from the others, then they need to be combined in logical XOR. To do this, drag the code icon(s) from their relative Expected Code box into the Expected Code box of the XOR combination you wish to create. Then delete the empty box by selecting it with the mouse (highlighted) and pressing the delete key on your keyboard.

Page 44

MATRIX 300N™ REFERENCE MANUAL

In normal operating mode the colors and meaning of the five LEDs are illustrated in the following table:

STATUS

red LED indicates a NO READ result (Figure 13, 3)

COM

yellow LED indicates active communication on the main serial port * (Figure 13, 4)

TRIGGER

yellow LED indicates the status of the reading phase (Figure 13, 5)

GOOD

green LED confirms successful reading (Figure 13, 6)

READY

green LED indicates that the reader is ready to operate (Figure 13, 7)

* When connected to a Fieldbus network through the CBX500, the COM LED is always active, even in the absence of data transmission, because of polling activity on the Fieldbus network.

During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), these five LEDs blink for one second. In X-PRESS Configuration mode the colors and meaning of these five LEDs are described in

par. 2.5. The keypad button (Figure 13, 8), is software programmable. By default it starts the X-

PRESS interface for quick installation without using a PC (see chp. 1).

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 configuration is available:

 ID-NET 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 45

INTRODUCTION

2.3.1 How To Setup/Configure the Reader Network

A complete ID-NET reader network can be easily setup through DL.CODE as follows: Multi Device configurations (also called Master/Slave configurations), are designed to collect

data from several devices connected together in an ID-NET network and send data output to the Host system.

NOTE: DL.CODE only supports Master/Slave SYNCHRONIZED ID-NET network configurations.

The general procedure (also detailed in the following paragraphs) is to:

1. Mount all the readers mechanically (refer to par. 3.2 and 3.3) and electrically (refer to par.

4.3) with factory default settings (Stand Alone). In order to automatically recognize the ID-NET Slaves, all devices must be physically

installed and electrically connected (including ID-NET network wiring). Run DL.CODE and verify that all the devices are discovered and shown in the device list area.

2. Connect to the designated Master device in DL.CODE and open New Configuration Multi Device. You will be prompted to change the device to Master. Click Yes. The device will be reset. See par. 2.3.2.

3. The Slave units will automatically be recognized. Then Apply the changes.

4. Select Phase Mode or PackTrack Configuration and complete the configuration of all the application parameters (including Image Setup) and save them to the Master with the option to Clone Master configuration on Slaves.

5. Connect to each Slave reader via Ethernet and set the photometric parameters (Image Setup) of each Slave device and save them, overwriting the configuration previously saved by the Master. See par. 2.3.3.

NOTE: When the Slaves are not positioned on the same plane or side as the Master, you must configure the Slave device photometric parameters (Image

Setup) in DL.CODE through its Ethernet connection. If Slave devices do not have an individual Ethernet connection you must temporarily (manually) connect them one by one to perform Image Setup.

6. Verify/Test network performance. See par. 2.3.4.

7. Perform the Backup Current Cluster Configuration procedure. See par. 2.4.

Page 46

MATRIX 300N™ REFERENCE MANUAL

2.3.2 Master Configuration

First start with the desired device to assign as ID-NET Master (current default setting is Standalone).

Select New Configuration – Multi Device from the Task area.

The Net Autoset feature automatically starts to find Slave devices connected to the ID-NET network of the Master.

Page 47

INTRODUCTION

When finished, if all the Slaves have been correctly recognized click on the Apply Changes button.

If not, verify all device connections and power, then repeat the operation by clicking on the Start Net Autoset button.

Cluster OK

Repeat

Page 48

MATRIX 300N™ REFERENCE MANUAL

Click Yes to store the Slave table on the Master. Depending on the application type, click on either the Phase Mode Configuration or the

PackTrack Configuration button to start the configuration. This will perform a preconfiguration of the operating mode. Wait until the Master configuration page is displayed.

You can now complete the configuration of the Master including all the application specific parameters.

Page 49

INTRODUCTION

Now save the new configuration (job) to the Master Device using a name relative to the Application (i.e. Station 1) making sure to check the Clone Master Configuration on Slaves.

This will save a configuration with the same name and content on each device (Master and all Slaves).

Page 50

MATRIX 300N™ REFERENCE MANUAL

2.3.3 Slave Configuration

NOTE: When the Slaves are not positioned on the same plane or side as the Master, you must configure the Slave device photometric parameters (Image Setup) in DL.CODE through its Ethernet connection. If Slave devices do not have an individual Ethernet connection you must temporarily (manually) connect them one by one to perform Image Setup.

Now that the ID-NET network is configured, the Slave specific parameters need to be set. These depend on the application and include the following:

 photometric parameters (Image Setup step)  Acquisition Trigger Delays necessary to avoid lighting interference between adjacent

or oppositely positioned readers (Reading Phase step)

 Images Saving if used (Data Formatting step)  Encoder Sensor: if used, (for all Slaves, the Encoder Type must be set to Internal)

To do this, click on the Getting started icon and open the Master branch to see the connected Slaves. Each Slave can be connected to through its Ethernet interface.

Page 51

INTRODUCTION

Open the configuration named “Station 1” from the Slave reader.

When the configuration opens, pause run mode and execute the Image Auto-Setup feature to adjust the photometry of the Slave reader.

Page 52

MATRIX 300N™ REFERENCE MANUAL

Verify the focus and decoding with the capture image and Code Setup page.

Now save the configuration to the Slave device by overwriting its existing one (i.e. Station 1).

Repeat this procedure for each Slave device until the entire network is configured.

Page 53

INTRODUCTION

Return to the Master device and open the configuration (Station 1). Now Save on device overwriting Station 1 with Clone Master Configuration on Slaves DISABLED!. This step

will Save all Master and Slave jobs maintaining the individual settings.

Page 54

MATRIX 300N™ REFERENCE MANUAL

2.3.4 Verify Master/Slave Setup

From the Master Station 1 configuration, run the application and monitor the output data from the DL.CODE Console or a configured channel terminal.

You can also temporarily apply the Reading Mask field in place of each Code Content field to verify if all devices are reading. To do this:

a) from the Master, change each Expected Code field from Code Content to Reading

Mask.

b) Save on device overwriting Station 1 with Clone Master Configuration on

Slaves DISABLED!

Page 55

INTRODUCTION

Run the application and monitor the output data from the DL.CODE Console or a configured channel terminal.

The Reading Mask shows which device reads which Expected Code. The mask is composed of a fixed 32-character string (0=No Read or 1=Read) representing the 32 possible readers in an ID-NET network. The Master is the last character in the string (first character to the right). The Slaves are shown in order from right to left (1 to 31).

Example: Master + Slave 2 = 00000000000000000000000000000101

After verifying correct functioning of the reading devices, return the Expected Code fields from Reading Mask to Code Content and Save on device overwriting Station 1 with Clone Master Configuration on Slaves DISABLED! again.

To view the connected Slaves configurations, click on the Cluster View tab at the bottom of the screen and open the Master branch. Select any slave and then click The Configuration tab at the bottom of the screen. By selecting the various configuration steps above you can visualize the slave configuration.

3.3 MOUNTING AND POSITIONING MATRIX 300N

Using the Matrix 300N 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

Skew

Page 71

INSTALLATION

Matrix 300N is able to decode code labels at a variety of angles; however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.

When mounting Matrix 300N, take into consideration these ideal label position angles: Pitch

or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°. Note: Since Matrix 300N 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 300N 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 300N 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.

CBX ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

4 CBX ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

All Matrix 300N 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 300N 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 300N reader is connected by means of the CBX100/500:

CAUTION: For Matrix 300N PoE models, the internal Digital Output circuitry is not powered and supply power is not available to any Input/Output devices (Vdc=0). Only input device signals can be accepted directly on the M12 17-pin connector without power.

For these models, if it is necessary to use Input/Output devices, we recommend connecting them through the CBX, which must be powered separately.

See par. 4.7 for further details.

4.2 MAIN SERIAL INTERFACE

CAUTION: Do not connect to the Main Interface spring clamp terminals if using Host Interface Modules (Fieldbus) with the CBX500.

The signals relative to the following serial interface types are available on the CBX spring clamp terminal blocks.

The main serial interface type and its parameters (baud rate, data bits, etc.) can be defined by the user via DL.CODE software. For more details refer to the Help On Line page of the Reading Phase step (Channels) in DL.CODE.

Details regarding the connections and use of the interfaces are given in the next paragraphs.

4.3.1 ID-NET Cables

The following instructions are referred to Figure 40, Figure 41 and Figure 42.

 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. 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.

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

The connections are indicated in the following diagrams:

5.4 ID-NET SYNCHRONIZED NETWORK

NOTE: DL.CODE only supports Master/Slave SYNCHRONIZED ID-NET network configurations.

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/RS422 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 PackTrack or Phase Mode.

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

Figure 63 – 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).

The same configuration can be made to a Host using the on-board Ethernet interface to the Master. The TCP/IP Ethernet and ID-NET interfaces are connected as shown in the figure below.

Figure 66 – ID-NET M/S Synchronized Layout with on-board TCP/IP Ethernet Interface to Host

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 or Host Mode programming.
