number setting which is the preferred setting for installation.
1
3. Power the reader on. During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), all the LEDs blink for one second. On the connector side of the reader near the cable, the “POWER ON” LED (blue) indicates the reader is correctly powered.
4. Enter the Focus function by pressing and holding the X-PRESS™ push button until the Focus LED is on.
5. Release the button to enter the Focus function. The Blue Diamonds™ turn on.
The procedure is as follows: A) Adjust the Focus ring towards the "Near position" until
the Blue Diamonds™ are perfectly in focus, see Figure 8.
At long foca
l distances a "skew" angle may cause a noticeable difference in focus between the two diamonds, in this case select the best possible focus (both diamonds slightly out of focus). Tighten the Focus Locking Knob.

The following network configurations are available:
ID-NET™ M/S Synchronized: Single station – multiple readers
2
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.
25
2
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.

Matrix 400™ is able to decode code labels at a variety of angles, however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.
When mounting Matrix 400™, take into consideration these ideal label position angles: Pitch
or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°.
Note: Since Matrix 400™ 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.
Follow the suggestions below for the best orientation:
The Pitch and Skew angles are represented by the values P and S in Figure 46 and in Figure

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.

5.5.1 ID-NET™ Cables

The following instructions are referred to Figure 83, Figure 84 and Figure 85.
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 (R and P).
- 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.

5.8 INPUTS

There are two optocoupled polarity insensitive inputs available on the M16 19-pin connector of 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:
INPUT | V Open 0 V 2 V 0 mA Closed 4.5 V 30 V 10 mA
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 minimum pulse duration is 0.5 milliseconds. This value can be increased 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.

6 TYPICAL LAYOUTS

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

6.1 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.

6.2 PASS-THROUGH

Pass-through mode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single external serial interface.
Each reader transmits the messages received by the Auxiliary interface onto the Main interface. All messages will be passed through this chain to the host.
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.
Applications can be implemented to connect a device such as a hand-held reader to the Auxiliary port of the last reader in the chain for manual code reading capability.

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 400™ 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.

6.3 ID-NET™

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 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 figure below.
