DATALOGIC C-BOX 200
1 GENERAL FEATURES
1.1 DESCRIPTION
The C-BOX 200 is a connection box which can be used as an accessory of
the Datalogic scanners to perform the following functions:
• Facilitate the connection of the scanner signals using a spring clamp
connector.
• Perform a conversion from RS232 to RS485 multidrop system to connect
a RS232 scanner to a multidrop network.
• Optocoupled RS485 interface is used over long distances or in
electrically noisy environments.
• Get the scanner configuration and store it in memory.
• Send the configuration stored in memory to the scanner.
The C-BOX 200 mechanical dimensions are 167 x 115 x 40 mm (6.57 x 4.53
x 1.57 in.). It weighs about 340 g. (12 oz).
Electrical connection is provided through spring clamp terminal blocks inside
the C-BOX 200.
The scanner is connected to the C-BOX 200 through a 25-pin connector
placed on the left side of the housing.
A 9-pin connector placed inside the C-BOX 200 facilitates connection
between an external PC and the auxiliary serial interface of the scanner.

C-BOX 200 can be installed to operate in different positions. The two screw
holes inside the housing of the C-BOX 200 are for mechanical fixture (Figure
2.4).
To mount the C-BOX 200:
1) Open the C-BOX 200 by unscrewing the 4 cover screws. If necessary,
using the two mounting holes inside the device as a pattern, mark the
panel with an appropriate object and then drill two holes in the panel.
2) Align the C-BOX 200 and insert two screws and screw them into the
panel until tight (see Figure 2.4).

Figure 2.5 – System layout
A PC can be quickly connected to the C-BOX 200 (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 WinHost utility (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 (see sub-paragraphs under
2.4), connect the scanner to the 25-pin connector on the left side of the C-
BOX 200 housing.
Switch ON the C-BOX 200 power switch (see Figure 2.6).
After power on, an automatic connection procedure takes place between the
C-BOX 200 and the scanner. During this phase, requiring a few seconds, the
warning LED is turned ON. Once the procedure had been completed
successfully, the warning LED is turned OFF.
After system functioning has been verified, close the C-BOX 200 using the 4
cover screws making sure the rubber seal is fitted correctly between the
parts of the housing.

2.4.2 System Wiring
The connection and wiring procedure for C-BOX 200 is described as follows:
1) Open the C-BOX 200 as described in paragraph 2.2.
2) Verify that the C-BOX 200 power switch is off (see Figure 2.6).
3) Unscrew the compression connectors and pass all the system
cables through them into the C-BOX 200 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 2.8).
• Insert the wire into the clamp and release the lever.
The wire will now be held in the spring clamp.

The wiring used can be solid or stranded but must meet the following
specifications.
All positions: 24 - 16 AWG 0.2 - 1.5 mm²

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 from different spring clamps but be
physically connected together.
NOTE
Pin 7 or 8 should be connected to the earth ground.

2.4.3 Chassis Grounding Jumper Settings
The scanner chassis grounding method can be selected by positioning a
jumper (see Figure 2.9). 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) or to
the power supply ground signal. The scanner chassis can also be left floating
but, in this case, the jumper must be removed.

2.4.4 Multidrop Address Selection
For RS485 half-duplex interface connections, the scanner multidrop address
should be set using the rotary switches placed inside the C-BOX 200.
The valid address range is from 00 to 31. This value is read only at poweron; any change at run-time has no effect.
If an invalid value is detected (32-99) the C-BOX cannot communicate with
the Multiplexer and the green LED remains off. Furthermore, the SEND
command configures the scanner using the previously configured valid
scanner address.

Figure 2.11 - Termination resistance switch
The switch S2 enables or disables the insertion of the bus termination
resistor for RS485 Half Duplex Multidrop applications.
CAUTION
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 chain). On all the other devices this resistor MUST NOT
be enabled (S2 = OFF).
Normally it is not necessary to enable the terminator resistor (S2
always OFF); it is suggested only in applications where the
communication speed or the bus length are critical parameters.

The jumpers allow connection to the EXT TRIG signals on separate spring
clamp terminals for applications which use the OM4000 Oscillating Mirror in
Trigger Mode.
They are used together and they have the following significance:
when a jumper is in the J1 position (see Figure above) pin 40 is connected to
pin 27 (EXT TRIG+); a jumper in J2 position connects pin 20 to pin 28 (EXT
TRIG-).
If the jumpers are removed pin 20 and pin 40 are disconnected.

2.6 SCANNER REQUIREMENTS
1) The C-BOX 200 can be connected to the following scanners through the
25-pin connector illustrated in Figure A.
DS2100 DS4300
DS2400 DS4600
It is necessary to use RS232 model (X0XX) for DS2100 and DS2400
scanner, while DS4300 and DS4600 RS232 interface must be selected
by the user.
2) At least one Terminator Character should be enabled in the connected
scanner (see the Terminator parameters in the Data Format section of
the Help On Line).
3) It is necessary to set the scanner main interface communication speed
(Baud Rate), so that it is the same as the Multidrop bus speed. In fact,
during the connection procedure, the C-BOX 200 gets its main interface
speed from the scanner to initialize its RS485 Multidrop optocoupled
serial interface. If both the baud rate and the device address are correct
the communication takes place which causes the green LED to blink
slightly.
The device address must be pre-set through the two rotary switches S4 and
S5 (see Figure 2.10).
2.7 OPERATING MODES
Once the connection procedure is completed (the warning LED is OFF), the
C-BOX 200 is ready to receive code strings from the scanner's RS232 main
interface. Then, it converts them to the RS485 multidrop network by using
MUX32 protocol.
Through the C-BOX 200 internal buttons, it is possible to communicate with
the scanner to perform one of the following functions:
• Get scanner configuration
• Send a configuration to the scanner
At the end of each function the scanner returns to the previous operating
mode.
16 - Installation
DATALOGIC C-BOX 200
2.7.1 GET/SEND Buttons
The C-BOX 200 has two internal function buttons (GET, SEND). The
procedure to enable the GET/SEND function is the following:
1. Press both the buttons GET and SEND at the same time for at least one
second; the warning LED is turned ON.
2. Release the buttons.
GET SEND
3. Press the left button corresponding to the GET function or press the
right button corresponding to the SEND function.
GET
– (left button): the C-BOX 200 reads the current scanner
configuration and permanently copies it in its own memory
support (EEPROM). The C-BOX 200 preserves this
configuration also when switched off.
SEND
- (right button): the C-BOX 200 sends the configuration previously
stored in its own permanent memory support to the scanner’s
EEPROM.
NOTE
Once the buttons are released in step 1, a ten-second timeout
starts. If no button is pressed within this time, the procedure will
be cancelled.
In any case, the warning LED is turned OFF at the end of each
procedure.
