In Read Cycle

The assigned output signal turns ON when the code reader is In Read Cycle. The setting selected for Output Mode is disabled. This signal turns ON when the Read Cycle starts. The timing for when it turns OFF depends on what is set for the End of Read Cycle condition.

• When the End of Read Cycle condition is Timeout On Good Read: Turns OFF when there is a Good Read. No Read: Turns OFF when the Timeout period is exceeded.

• When the End of Read Cycle condition is Last Frame On Good Read: Turns OFF when there is a Good Read. On No Read: Turns OFF when all the image capture executed by 1 trigger input is completed.

• When the End of Read Cycle condition is New Trigger On Good Read: Turns OFF when there is a Good Read. On No Read: Turns OFF when a trigger is input and there is a New Read Cycle. At this time, since the New Read Cycle is in progress, it will turn ON again.

Controlling Operation and Data Output with EtherNet/IP

EtherNet/IP Overview

EtherNet/IP is an industrial multi-vendor network that uses Ethernet. The EtherNet/IP specifications are open standards managed by the ODVA (OpenDeviceNet Vendor Association). EtherNet/IP is used by a wide range of industrial devices. Because EtherNet/IP uses standard Ethernet technology, various general-purpose Ethernet devices can be used in the network. EtherNet/IP has mainly the following features.

• High-speed, High-capacity Data Exchange through Tag Data Links (Cyclic Communications) The EtherNet/IP protocol supports implicit communications, which allows cyclic communications (called Tag Data Links) with EtherNet/IP devices.

• Tag Data Links are set at the specified communication cycle for each application regardless

of the number of nodes

Because the data is exchanged over the network at the refresh cycle that is set for each connection regardless of the number of nodes, that refresh cycle will not increase even if the number of nodes increases. (Data exchange in the connection is kept in synch) Because the refresh cycle can be set for each connection, each application can communicate at its ideal refresh cycle. (For example, interprocess interlocks can be transferred at high speed, while the production commands and the status monitor information are transferred at low speed.)

Precautions for Correct Use

On a network to which many devices are connected, performance may drop (e.g., responses may be delayed or packets lost) or communications errors may occur when there is temporarily high traffic on the network. Test the operation under actual conditions before you start actual operation of the system.

Data Exchange with EtherNet/IP (Implicit Communications)

Data is exchanged cyclically between Ethernet devices on the EtherNet/IP network using Tag Data Links as shown below.

3-1 Controlling Operation and Data Output with Ether-

Net/IP

3-1-1 EtherNet/IP Overview

• Data Exchange Method To exchange data, a connection is opened between two EtherNet/IP devices. One of the nodes requests the connection to open a connection with a remote node. The node that requests the connection is called the Originator and the node that receives the request is called the Target.

• Data Exchange Memory Locations The memory locations that are used to exchange data across a connection are specified as tags. You can specify memory addresses or variables for tags. A group of tags consists of an output tag set and an input tag set.

Additional Information

Message communications are used when communicating over EtherNet/IP with a PLC that does not support Tag Data Link communications (3-1-10 Communicating with the Code Reader with EtherNet/IP Message on page 3-28).

Communication with the Code Reader over EtherNet/IP Connection

You can use an EtherNet/IP Tag Data Link to communicate between the PLC and the code reader. The PLC can control the code reader with Command/Response communications and the code reader can output data after executing a Read. To connect to OMRON Controllers and communicate through EtherNet/IP, you can use Sysmac Studio, or Network Conﬁgurator to set up the Tag Data Links (tags, tag sets, and connection settings). For more detailed information on Tag Data Link settings, please refer to the following manuals.

• NJ-series CPU Unit Built-in EtherNet/IP Port User’s Manual (Cat. No. W506)

• CS/CJ-series EtherNet/IP Units Operation Manual (Cat. No. W465)

• CJ-series EtherNet/IP Units Operation Manual for NJ-series CPU Unit (Cat. No. W495)

Types of Communication Areas

For EtherNet/IP, communication with a PLC, the communication is performed using two communication areas on the PLC, the Input Field and the Output Field. This code reader has 6 types of Input Field Assemblies and 2 types of Output Field Assemblies, and one can be selected for each.

EtherNet/IP Message (Explicit) Format

EtherNet/IP messages, both transmitted and received, are comprised of two parts, the Command Length and Command String.

• Command Length (4 bytes) The total number of characters in the Command String.

• Command String (256 byte maximum) The ASCII character array of the command sent from the PLC to the code reader.

3 Controlling Operation and Data Output with Ethernet

Command Setting Example

This example shows how to set Message communication command strings.

• For the data that is sent from the PLC to the code reader, set a serial command character string.

• When using K Commands some commands do not provide a Response. However, in the case of a Verify setting command like <K225?>, there is a Response so data will be received after this command type is sent. Please note that multiple commands can be sent in a single transmission, so if the command sent typically doesn’t produce a response a verify setting command can be sent in addition as shown in Example 3.

Example 1: The received data string when the data was sent using the <K225,0> command. (Transmitted data) in 12 bytes 0x08 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x3C('<') 0x4B('K') 0x32('2') 0x32('2') 0x35('5') 0x2C(',') 0x30('0') 0x3E('>') (Received data) None

Controlling Operation and Data Output with Serial (TCP)

This section explains the communications settings required for using Serial (TCP) communications between the code reader and an external device.

Serial (TCP) Overview

Serial (TCP) conforms to the TCP/IP communication protocols. It can be used with any Ethernet communication equipment compatible with TCP/IP communication protocol. Since this code reader communicates as a TCP server, the external device to be connected must be connected to this code reader as a TCP client. If you intend to use with an Omron PLC, please verify that it supports Socket Services (TCP Client).

Communications Processing Flow

In a system configuration in which it is connected by Serial (TCP) communications to an external device (such as PLC), serial commands can be received and code reading results can be output to the external device. Below is the basic flow for establishing the Serial (TCP) communications, executing a Read command and outputting the Read result.

Change the Command that Executes Read

It is possible to change the command used in Serial communications to execute Read. There are two types of Read execution commands. One includes a Separator Character (delimiter) <> and the other has no delimiter.

• WebLink - Setup - Gear Icon - Advanced Settings - Read Cycle - Serial Trigger (Non-Delimited)

Setting Item Setting Value Description

Serial Trigger Character (Delimited)

Start Character (Non-Delimited)

Stop Character (Non-Delimited)

ASCII code for 1 character (Default: Space (Hex: 20))

The ASCII codes for maximum of 2 characters (Default: NULL (Hex:00))

Specifies the command character string used to start a Read. To execute the command, the trigger character must be delimited in brackets <>. This command can only be executed when the Trigger Mode is set in Read Cycle - Trigger - Mode to either Serial Data or Serial Data or External Edge.

Specifies the command character string used to start a Read and the command character used to end a Read. The Start command character and the End command character must be different characters. When set it to NULL (Hex:00) it is disabled. The behavior will differ according to the selection made for Read Cycle - Trigger - Mode.

• If External Edge is selected, the code reader executes Read

with the Start command character. An End command character is not necessary.

• If External Level or Serial Data and Edge is selected, the Start

trigger character starts a Read cycle and the End command character ends the Read cycle. Even for a Good Read, the Read Cycle does not end until the End command is sent.

Example Use of Character (Delimited) Command

Controlling Operation from an External Device

The code reader can be controlled, have its settings viewed and changed from an external device with the use of serial commands. The serial commands of this code reader are divided broadly in to two different types.

• Serial Configuration Commands (K Commands)

Commands to change settings on this code reader.

• Serial Utility Commands

Commands used to test Read Rate, get code reader status and control automatic adjustments.

Serial Command Format

Explanation of how commands are formatted in Serial communication.

Common Command Format for Serial Configuration Commands and Serial



Utility Commands

• Enclose the commands in brackets "< >".

• Characters used in commands and data are case-sensitive. Use either upper-case, or lowercase characters as required.

• Serial commands can be linked together in a chain. For example, the following command sets Trigger Mode to External Trigger/Edge, sets the End of Read Cycle condition to New Trigger, and saves the setting. <K200,3> <K220,1> <Z>

(TCP)

3-2-5 Controlling Operation from an External Device

Serial Configuration Command (K Commands) Format



• The K Commands consist of the letter K, followed by a three digit number and comma-separated parameters as shown below.

• Some K Commands can change multiple parameters. For those, if the final parameter does not need to be changed, it can be omitted. For example, when using the K Command <K541> which is used for changing both Exposure time and Gain, if you only need to change the Exposure time, it can be entered as follows. <K541,1000>

• If the parameter that does not need to be changed is not the last in sequence, only the comma delimiter for it is necessary. For example, when using the K Command <K541> which is used for changing both Exposure time and Gain, if you only need to change the Gain, it can be entered as follows. <K541,,30>

• If any characters other than numeric values, such as Control characters, need to be used in the command, they must be entered in hexidecimal format. If you need to include the characters <,>, comma (,) as parameters, enter them as their hexadecimal value. To enter a hexadecimal value as a parameter, add lowercase h immediately after the K command. For example, to set CR (hexadecimal value: 0D) to the footer (postamble), you can enter it as follows.
