C-BOX 100

Instruction Manual

The C-BOX 100 is a connection box which can be used as an accessory
to several Datalogic family scanners to facilitate the system connections.

System cabling is made through spring clamp terminal blocks inside the
C-BOX 100 while the scanner is connected to the C-BOX 100 through a
25-pin connector placed on the left side of the housing.

A 9-pin connector placed inside the C-BOX 100 facilitates connection
between an external PC and the auxiliary serial interface of the scanner
for configuration or data monitoring.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ATTENTION: READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE INSTALLING THE PRODUCT

POWER SUPPLY

This product is intended to be installed by Qualified Personnel only.

This device is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed NEC Class 2 power
source, rated 10-30V, minimum 0.50A.

The overall value of power consumption of the
system (C-BOX 100 + scanner) is given by adding
the scanner power consumption to that of the C-BOX

CAUTION

100. Refer to the manual of the connected scanner
for details about minimum/maximum supply voltage
and power consumption.

SUPPORTED SCANNER MODELS

The C-BOX 100 can be connected to the following readers through the
25-pin connector illustrated in Figure A.

DS8100A

* It is necessary to use 10-30 V versions for DS1100 and DS2200

scanners.

OPENING THE DEVICE

To install the C-BOX 100 or during normal maintenance, it is necessary
to open it by unscrewing the four cover screws:

Figure 2 – System Layout

The dotted line in the figure refers to an optional (temporary) hardware
configuration in which a portable PC can be quickly connected to the C­BOX 100 (and consequently to the scanner auxiliary interface) through
the internal 9-pin connector. This allows monitoring of the data
transmitted by the scanner or configuration through the utility program
(see the scanner Installation Manual for more details). The scanner
auxiliary interface signals are also available on the internal spring clamp
connectors.

After making system cabling and switch settings, connect the scanner to
the 25-pin connector on the left side of the C-BOX 100 housing.

Switch ON the C-BOX 100 power switch (see Figure 3). The correct
polarity of the power connection is signaled by the green LED, while the
red LED turns on in case of wrong polarity.

Power is supplied to the connected scanner (25-pin
connector only) through an electronic circuit which:
limits the inrush current; provides short circuit
protection and over current protection (automatic

NOTE

retry).

POWERING C-BOX 100 FROM A SCANNER

In order for C-BOX 100 to accept
power from the scanner through the
25-pin connector, a solder bridge
must be made at the two pads
indicated in Figure 5.

This is useful for example, to pass
power to connected accessories
such as Encoder and Presence
Sensor from DX8200A VAC models
or other scanner layouts. See the
relative scanner Reference Manual
for details.

Figure 5– Scanner Power Solder Bridge

SYSTEM WIRING

The connection and wiring procedure for C-BOX 100 is described as
follows:

1) Open the C-BOX 100 by unscrewing the 4 cover screws.

2) Verify that the C-BOX 100 power switch is off (see Figure 3).

3) Unscrew the compression connectors and pass all the system
cables through them into the C-BOX 100 housing.

4) To connect the power and input/output signals:

• Prepare the individual wires of the system cables by stripping
the insulation back approximately 1 cm.

• Using a device such as a screwdriver, push down on the lever
directly next to the clamp (see Figure 6).

• Insert the wire into the clamp and release the lever.

The wire will now be held in the spring clamp.

The C-BOX 100 must be disconnected from the
power supply during this operation.

After system functioning has been verified, close the C-BOX 100 using
the 4 cover screws making sure the rubber seal is fitted correctly
between the parts of the housing.

POWER SUPPLY

Power is supplied to the C-BOX 100 through the pins provided on the
spring clamp connector.

The power switch (see Figure 3) switches the power supply ON or OFF
for both the C-BOX 100 and the connected scanner.

Pin 1 is also electrically connected to pins 3 and 5,
just as pin 2 is electrically connected to pins 4 and 6.
This is useful for external trigger/inputs connections.

NOTE

The power supply must be between 10 and 30 Vdc only.

Figure 6 - System Cable Connections

The wiring used can be solid or stranded but must meet the following
specifications.

All positions: 24 - 16 AWG 0.2 - 1.5 mm²
The C-BOX 100 spring clamp connector pinouts are indicated in the

Pinout tables.

Refer to the scanner Installation Manual for signal details.

CHASSIS GROUNDING JUMPER SETTINGS

The scanner chassis grounding method can be selected by positioning a
jumper (see Figure 7). In this way the scanner chassis can be
connected to earth ground (only if pins 7 or 8 are connected to a good
earth ground). For 1, 2, or 4K scanners the chassis can alternatively be
connected to the power supply ground signal (GND) or it can be left
floating but, in this case, the jumper must be removed. For 6, 8K
scanners the chassis is internally connected to GND.

* The signals on pins 9, 10, 11 and 12 are repeated on pins 13, 14, 15 and 16 to facilitate

network connections (i.e. Multiplexer connections using the RS485 half-duplex Interface). In
this way the network bus can enter and exit the C-Box 100 from different spring clamps but be
physically connected together.

Switch S3 must be set to A only when a DS1100 or a DS2200 scanner
(10-30 V version) is connected. For all the other devices switch S3 must
be set to B.

Figure 9 - Termination Resistance Switch

Switch S2 enables or disables the insertion of the bus termination
resistor for RS485 Half Duplex Multidrop applications.

In Multiplexer applications the termination resistor
must be enabled ONLY on the last device of the
chain, the farthest away from the Multiplexer
(assuming the Multiplexer is the first device of the

CAUTION

chain). On all the other devices this resistor MUST
NOT be enabled (S2 = OFF).

For all RS485 connections, in case of electrically noisy
environments: C-BOX 100 should be connected to a
good earth ground (pin 7 or 8), RS485 CABLE SHIELD
should be connected to pin 7 or 8, the scanner chassis

NOTE

should be connected to EARTH GROUND through the
jumper, see Figure 7.

J1J2

Figure 10 - OM4000 Jumpers

These jumpers allow connection to the EXT TRIG signals on separate
spring clamp terminals for applications which use the OM4000
Oscillating Mirror in Trigger Mode.

When jumper J1 is inserted, pin 40 is connected to pin 27 (EXT TRIG+);
jumper J2 inserted connects pin 20 to pin 28 (EXT TRIG-).

When the jumpers are removed, pin 20 and pin 40 are disconnected.

9-PIN SCANNER AUXILIARY SERIAL INTERFACE

The scanner auxiliary serial interface available on the internal 9-pin
connector can be used either for configuration or for data monitoring.

The details of the connector pins are indicated in the following table:
