2. 1 Installation precautions

Install the unit so that ambient light such as sunlight, uorescent light, and photoelectric switches does not enter the scan window. Otherwise the unit may not be able to read symbols or it may erroneously read them.

Example Take measures to block ambient light or to change the position of photoelectric switches.

Block the light

Do not install a reective body (metal or mirror) along the light receiving axis. Otherwise the unit may not be able to read symbols or it may erroneously read them.

Example Tape over any mirrored/reective surfaces with black tape to prevent the reection of light.

Installation precautions

When installing WB2F units in a series, install them so the emitted LED light does not overlap (so they do not interfere with each other). Otherwise the unit may not be able to read symbols or it may erroneously read them.

Example Install the WB2F units by increasing the spacing between them.

2. 2 Mounting methods

2. 2. 1 WB2F mounting methods

Double check the dimensions of the mounting hole and drill a hole in the mounting board

For the dimensions of the mounting hole, refer to F [5. 3 Dimensional outline drawings] on page 5-7.

Mounting methods

If you use the brackets provided, use the two mounting screws (also provided) to secure the bracket to

WB2F before you secure the bracket to the mounting board. If you do not use the brackets provided, use the two mounting screws to secure the WB2F to the mounting

board.

The tightening torque for the product mounting screws is 0.4 to 0.5 N·m.

Mounting Screws (Included) M3 SEMS x 6 (2 screws)

Mounting Bracket (Included)

Instead, use two M3 screws with an eective thread length of 3 to 5 mm and secure the WB2F to the plate.

If you use a bracket other than the one that was included, make sure that the dimensions of the mounting holes is at most Φ3.4mm

When using the WB2F, remove the protective lm on the scan window.

the

If you attach to a plate that is thicker than 2.3 mm, do not use the included mounting screws.

If, during installation, the WB2F is exposed to excessive force (e.g. the mounting screws are tightned excessively, the product is hit with a hammar, the base of the cable is exposed to excessive stress (pulled strongly, bent etc.)), it could undermine the IP65 protective structure of the WB2F.

If Reading Request is turned ON, symbol reading commences and will continue for as long as the Reading Request remains ON. Once the Reading Request is turned OFF, symbol reading will cease and the Reading Results will be output in batch. The maximum number of symbol data that can be ouput at once is 32. Symbol data for the Symbol Reading past that will be discarded. If the Reading Timeout is set to innite, Level Activate will occur. For all other cases, Edge Activate will occur. For more details, refer to F [4. 6 Conguration Item Table] on page 4-54.

If the Reading Request was turned ON by the external input and level activation, conditions for activating the Stop Reading is as follows:

4. 2. 7 Communication command

Communication command transmits/receives various types of data from the host device connected via the WB2F's communication interface. The applications required to transmit/receive data are collectively called [communication command]

For details of various settings of the communication command function, refer to F [4. 6 Conguration Item

Table] on page 4-54 for details.

Communication Commands are composed of both Control Commands and Setup Commands



Control Command

Command to directly start up the WB2F. It can also execute other actions such as Symbol Reading, the Status LED ON/OFF etc.



Setup Command

This command can be used to change or acquire the WB2F's parameter settings such as RS-232 communications, the Status LED patterns, times etc.

Control Command Setup Command

Responce

Communication Data Format: Regarding Prex and Sux

Excluding prex and sux, communication data formats of communication commands are text (ASCII format)

Based on useage environment, prex and sux can be changed

This section is written assuming that the scanner has maintained its factory default settings

Notes on Communication

Enter [prex + sux] if you suspect any of the following: the scanner is unused despite the power being on for a long period of time, the scanner appears to be receiving noise, or the scanner may be storing unncessary data in its reception buer. This will clear the reception buer.

The transmission and receive buers have 16kB of storage. If data that exceeds 16kB is stored, data transmission and reception will not be correctly performed. If you plan on enabling the RS-232 interface's hardware ow control, keep the storage limitation in mind.

zOn keeping acquired images

The WB2F has three types of image storage areas that each have dierent restrictions (such as in the number of images that can be saved).

Region

Imaging memory 1 sheet Latest decoded image BITMAP

Temporary image Memory Max 16 sheets

Non-volatile image memory Max 128 sheets

Refer to "Image Capture Function" in F [4. 6 Conguration Item Table] on page 4-54 for more details on the image capture function and its various settings.

Refer to F [5. 6 List of Control Commands] on page 5-13 for details on control commands that can be used with the image capture function.

Images can be acquired in three areas.

Number of

saved images

Saved Image Saved format Update Timing

when imaging is completed

Read Success image Read Fail image

BITMAP

JPEG

Decode Completion Time

During power OFF or the control command [Reset], Imaging memory and temporary image memory are discarded.

Utilizing the image capture function will slow read response times compared to when the function is not used.

If the device is powered OFF or the control command [Reset] is entered during image saving, the image will not be properly stored.

We recommend that user's use the maintenance port when acquiring images from the host device as transmission data can be extremely large.

There is a memory limit for image storage. If the scanner runs out of available space, no new images can be stored until the corresponding areas are reinitialized.

This function temporarily operates the WB2F with the factory default settings when problems occur such as symbols can no longer be read or communication is no longer possible with the host device after changing the WB2F settings. This function can be executed by switching to maintenance mode.

The setting values are restored by turning the power on/o, resetting, or switching the mode.

When a symbol is read, the ashing LEDs (green/orange/red) turn o. The LEDs (green/orange/red) will ash again after 5 seconds.

After switching to maintenance mode, you can restore the setting values to the factory defaults by reading the initialization barcode. For the initialization barcode, refer to F Page 5-27.

4. 4. 3 Firmware updating

This function updates the WB2F rmware.

New functions that are added to the rmware can be used by executing a rmware version upgrade.

The latest rmware is available on the IDEC website. Check whether or not there is new rmware on the IDEC website.

Master Mode

4. 5 Master Mode

Mode that species that the WB2F operates according to the communication protocol of the external device. When operating in this mode, you cannot transmit/receive using the communication commands outlined on F Page

4-28.

4. 5. 1 Switching to Master Mode

Use the following method to switch the unit over to master mode. The Status LED (Green) will ash for 2 seconds prior to the unit switching over to master mode.

Method After changing the external device connection function (PLC)'s [function enabled] to enable, save the

change and restart the Unit. For details, refer to Master Mode transition by changing settings.

4. 6 Conguration Item Table

The settings and setting values that dene the manner in which the WB2F operates are as follows. You can dene the customized operation of the WB2F for your environment by changing the setting values.

When setting values are changed, the setting values must be saved with the "save setting values" control command.

If the power is turned o, the unit is reset, or the operation mode is changed without executing "save setting values", the setting values are restored to the same values as before they are changed.

Do not access or change any settings that are not listed here.

Do not access or change any settings in reserved areas.

Do not access or change any settings during a reading operation.

When conguring settings that specify ASCII code for the setting value, be aware of the following points.

NUL

(00H) cannot be used as a setting value.

The characters up to the rst

(00H) are considered the data and any data after that is not valid.
