Frequently Asked Questions - SC6000 DATALOGIC

How do I set the desired temperature on the SC6000?

Press the SET key to enter parameter setup. Use the UP/DOWN keys to adjust the setpoint (SP). Press SET again to confirm.

What does the 'AL1' alarm indicate?

AL1 is a high or low process alarm. Check the process value and compare with the alarm setpoint. The alarm relay will activate if the value exceeds the limit.

Can I use a PT100 RTD with this controller?

Yes, the SC6000 supports PT100 RTD inputs. Ensure the sensor is wired correctly to terminals (e.g., 3-wire configuration). Set the input type to 'Pt100' in the configuration menu.

How do I perform auto-tuning?

Enable auto-tuning by setting the 'At' parameter to 1 in the PID settings. The controller will execute a self-tuning cycle and automatically calculate PID values.

What should I do if the display shows 'E' error?

Common errors: 'E' with a number indicates sensor break (e.g., E1 = TC open). Check sensor wiring and replace if damaged. 'EE' may indicate EEPROM fault; reset the device or contact support.

How to clean the front panel?

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the front panel. Do not use water, solvents, or abrasive cleaners as they may damage the display and keypad.

Can I connect the SC6000 to a PC for data logging?

Yes, if equipped with the RS-485 communication option. Use Modbus RTU protocol. Refer to the manual for register mapping and cable wiring.

What is the difference between ON/OFF and PID control?

ON/OFF control switches the output fully on or off based on setpoint. PID control modulates the output to maintain a stable process with minimal overshoot. Use PID for precise regulation.

How to reset the controller to factory defaults?

To reset, navigate to the 'Init' parameter in the advanced menu. Set it to '1' and confirm. The controller will restore default settings and restart.

What spare parts are available for the SC6000?

Spare parts include output relay modules, terminal blocks, and front panel overlays. Contact Datalogic service or an authorized distributor for replacements.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The new SC6000 Controller offers all the necessary functions to make the phases of installation, setup, testing, and maintenance of the omni-directional reading tunnel easy and quick.

The SC6000 Controller key functions are:

• Bus Controller: cluster management and Host interface of a multisided reading tunnel based on Lonworks bus;
• DARP ^TM (Datalogic Automatic Replacement Procedure) function: automatic procedure for scanner and bus controller replacement;
• Diagnostic indications on the reading station status, simple to be detected without any PC needed. This indications, based on LEDs and display, offer to the maintenance staff all the necessary information;
• Easy remotization of all the reading station information, thanks to built-in Ethernet and fieldbus connectivity, and a dedicated 9-pin connector for Modem connection;
• Single and Redundant System configurations;
• Integration with RFID and Vision Systems; SC6000's efficiency in hybrid solutions represents a crucial competitive advantage for challenging application requirements.
• Auto PackTrack™ Calibration procedure from SC6000 Menu using the onboard Keypad and Display.
• Energy Saving allows allows turning on/off the motors and lasers of all network scanners according to the selected digital input, encoder, or communication channel. The time required to restart the system is less than 1 minute independently from the number of scanners connected. It is suggested to use this parameter for example when the conveyor is stopped for a lengthy period.

The SC6000 Controller is based on a robust alloy case divided into two parts: on the upper part there is the display, the keypad and the LEDs. The lower part contains the motherboard, the removable Compact-Flash memory, the Fieldbus boards and the connector panel.

The simple and sturdy mechanical structure makes the SC6000 Controller the ideal solution for industrial environments.

The SC6000 Controller is fully compatible both with the 6000 family and with the 8000 family (DS8100A and DX8200A) scanners. This means that the SC6000 Controller can work as a bus controller for a cluster of DS6000 family scanners, or DS8100A/DX8200A scanners or both. These slave scanner families no longer require a staggered starting sequence, therefore SC6000 starts them simultaneously.

The SC6000 Controller is also compatible with DS8100 and DX8200 (Lonworks versions). It is not possible to mix DS8100/DX8200 with 6000 family or DS8100A/DX8200A.

1.2 MODEL DESCRIPTION

The SC6000 Controller is available in versions that differ in regard to the following characteristics:

SC6000 - 1XXX 200 = Standard 211 = Profibus 215 = DeviceNet 230 = Dual Ethernet

2.4.1 Main Interface

The main serial interface is compatible with the following electrical standards:

RS232

RS485 full-duplex

CAUTION

Do not connect GND and GND_ISO to different (external) ground references. GND and GND_ISO are internally connected through filtering circuitry which can be permanently damaged if subjected to voltage drops over 0.8 Vdc.

Details regarding the connections and use of the main interface selection are given in the next paragraphs.

9-pin D-sub Female Connector Pinout
Pin	RS232	RS485Full Duplex	9-pin D-sub Female Connector
2	TX	TX485
3	RX	RX485 +
5	GND_ISO	GND_ISO
7	CTS	RX485 -
8	RTS	TX485 -

RS232 Interface

The main serial interface is used for communication with the Host computer and allows both transmission of code data and controller configuration. The connections to the Host can be made as follows:

• through the PWO (in which case a CAB-SC6103 cable connects the PWO to the SC6000)
  • directly to the SC6000

See also par. 2.5.1.

It is always advisable to use shielded cables. The overall maximum cable length must be less than 15 m (49.2 ft).

The following pins of the 9-pin connector are used for RS232 interface connection:

Pin	Name	Function
2	TX	Transmit
3	RX	Receive
5	GND_ISO		Main	signal
7	CTS	Clear to send
8	RTS	Request to send

The RTS and CTS signals control data transmission and synchronize the connected devices. If the RTS/CTS hardware protocol is enabled, the SC6000 activates the RTS output to indicate a message can be transmitted. The Host must activate the CTS input to enable the transmission.

This connector is available for all SC6000 Controller models and allows the Ethernet connection to the host.

In the SC6000-1230 Dual Ethernet there are two Ethernet connectors for secondary host connections.

Figure 16 – SC6000 Harting RJ Industrial® Female Connector

NOTE

For Ethernet connections, always use the Harting RJ Industrial® Push Pull Ethernet connector (included in the package). This connector assures a robust connection and full IP rated protection.

Figure 17 – Harting RJ Industrial® Push Pull Male Connector

This interface and the connector pinout (see the following table) are IEEE 802.3 10 BaseT and IEEE 802.3u 100 BaseTx compliant.

2.5 TYPICAL LAYOUTS

The following typical layouts refer to system hardware configurations, but also require the correct setup of the software configuration parameters (see par. 3.2 for details).

Other layouts require the use of a specific SC6000 Controller model.

The accessories and cables indicated in the following figures are Datalogic products. We suggest their use to guarantee the correct system functioning.

2.5.1 Large Synchronized Network Layout

When building a large local Lonworks network (more than 10 scanners), an SC6000 Controller must be used together with a PWO power supply/junction box unit. In this case the SC6000 unit acts as the system master and is connected to the host through one of its interfaces.

All scanners act as slaves and are connected to the SC6000 through the PWO power supply/junction box. For DS8100A/DX8200A scanners, 4 branch connectors provide Lonworks communications between the scanners and the SC6000 unit. The last scanner on the line requires a Termination connector as well as any unused branches in the PWO unit.

The allowed maximum bus length is 65 m.

External devices such as a presence sensor and an encoder are all connected to the PWO.

E D F C B G H A SC6000 Conveyor PWO

Figure 23 – Example Large Synchronized Network Reading Station

Here are a few helpful hints which can improve station performance and reduce installation time:

1. Scanner distribution should alternate between odd and even branches so that the station guarantees 50% reading on all sides. See also Figure 22.
2. For OEK Encoders set the parameter Operating Mode>Encoder Step = 252.

Close-up of a circular metal dial with a red pointer and measurement markings (no readable text or symbols)

OFF ON 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

1. For Top Front and Top Back scanners (C and D in Figure 23), set the parameter Reading Parameters>Reading Condition = Skew 45°.
2. For applications having regular shaped packs the default settings are sufficient, but for Airport applications, irregular shaped packs can cause PS signal glitches resulting in false "packs too short" or "packs too close" errors.

200 mm

To correct this, set the following Operating Modes parameters: Minimum Distance Between Packs = 200 mm, Minimum Pack Length = 200 mm, Window Dimension = 200 mm.

2.5.2 Redundant System Layout

For large local Lonworks networks, a redundant system can per configured in which two SC6000 Controllers are used together with their respective PWO power supply/junction box units. The scanners are distributed equally between the PWO units. In this case one of the SC6000 Controllers is dedicated as the working or active unit while the other functions as a dedicated protecting or backup unit.

The Auto PackTrack procedure when run from the SC6000 keypad, requires a system reset before the calibration is recognized. See the Auto PackTrack Setup procedure in par. 2.7.3. The Auto PackTrack setup may be performed in Genius™. For more details see the Help On-Line.

2.7.1 Auto PackTrack Conditions and Limits

The Conditions and Limits for Auto PackTrack Calibration are summarized here for convenience and are also integrated into the following procedure descriptions:

• The following scanners are supported by Auto PackTrack Calibration: DS6400 (*see note below), DX6400 (*see note below), DS8100A, DX8200A
• Before performing the Auto PackTrack Calibration procedure, if a system reset or power reset is performed, wait for all the scanners to be available (up to 60 sec.) before proceeding.
• Operating Mode must be either PackTrack or Continuous
• If the system Presence Sensor and Encoder are used, the correct Encoder Step value must be set and the Presence Sensor must be connected to the SC6000 PS input.
• If instead the PPA-8000 Photocell Array is used, it must be connected to the SC6000 PS and PSAUX inputs, and the Encoder, if present, must be physically disconnected.
• DX scanners which are calibrated automatically cannot be automatically replaced by DX scanners with a previous sw version (earlier than 6.80). You must either update the old scanner software prior to substitution, or complete the calibration manually, after installation, by setting the PSOffset and Direction parameters.

NOTE

The autofocus feature of DS6400 and DX6400 scanners makes Auto PackTrack Calibration difficult, therefore to assure that the procedure can correctly calibrate these scanners, it is necessary to set a fixed focus value which allows the scanner to read all the label positions useful for its calibration.

2.7.2 Auto PackTrack Parameter Descriptions

The following descriptions refer to the PackTrack menu in par. 2.6.3.

Version: the version of the PCT-8000 being used for calibration. This value can be read from the barcode labels on the PCT-8000. Each label has the value vnnn where v is the version number.

Cal Type: the XYZ calibration is forced. The coordinates for the three axes are calibrated.

NOTE

For Oscillating Mirror scanner models the scan line must be parallel to the conveyor direction and only the Y calibration will be performed, (the X and Z axes will automatically be set to zero).

X Cal: the Absolute X position is forced. The X coordinate for all scanners is relative to the precise point (PackTrack Reference Point X, Y, Z = 0).

X Offset: The X Offset moves the Absolute X coordinate (X, Y, Z=0) for all the scanners to the desired point along the X axis which will be measured in step 7 in par. 2.7.3.

Sensor: calibration will be performed either using the system Presence Sensor and Encoder (most cases), or the PPA-8000 Photocell Array, for systems where the Presence Sensor or Encoder are not present (typically Tilt-Tray or Cross-Belt applications).

NOTE

The Auto PackTrack procedure requires using the PPA-8000 Photocell Array for all systems where either the Presence Sensor or the Encoder are absent (including Continuous Operating Mode and Cargoscan applications).

If using the Presence Sensor and Encoder, the presence sensor must be connected to the SC6000 PS input and in this menu the parameter is set to 0. The Encoder Step parameter must also be set correctly.

If using the PPA-8000 you must set the Photocell distance (165 mm). The Photocell Array must be connected to the SC6000 PS and PSAUX inputs (see the relative installation manual), and the Encoder, if present, must be disconnected.

Z Offset (if necessary): for packs that are elevated above the conveyor surface (for example on tilt trays), this parameter sets an offset for the height of a pack so that Z=0 corresponds to the bottom of the pack.

2.7.3 Auto PackTrack Setup

After setting the initial parameters in the PackTrack menu the Auto PackTrack setup procedure can be started:

1. Press Enter at the Start item in the PackTrack menu.
2. Press Enter to confirm the action. The SC6000 sends the message to the Slave scanners and the Display shows the Wait message.

After receiving the answer from all of the Slaves, the SC6000 shows the status of each node (of each scanner of the cluster) as in the example below.

The slave scanners are listed as letters only (A, B, C, etc.) independently from the selection in the System Information Section>User Interface Style configuration parameter in Genius™.

Above each scanner position a symbol indicates the scanner status according to the following convention:

U	cannot be calibrated	not supported by scanner software version
U	can be calibrated	can be calibrated but the calibration procedure fails either barcode reading or verification
L	Lost	scanner stops responding during the procedure
I	Initial State	scanner ready to be calibrated
N	Not Verified	scanner calibrated but not verified
C	Calibrated	scanner is calibrated

1. At this point the SC6000 display allows to Continue or to Stop the procedure. You can switch between the previous display windows using the Up or Down arrow keys.
   If there are any nodes that show as U or L, then you should Stop the procedure and correct the problem.
   If the nodes respond with I, N, or C then you can Continue with the procedure.
2. Press Enter to Continue the procedure. The SC6000 shows message Let the parcel run.
3. Place the PCT-8000 onto the moving conveyor, before the PS Line (reference point) and parallel to a conveyor edge (i.e. right-hand edge) with its arrow in the same direction as the conveyor movement. Let it pass through the reading station. The SC6000 shows the Wait message.

(X, Y, Z = 0) 1 PS Line Conveyor Direction

After elaborating the passage of the parcel, the SC6000 again shows the status of each node (of each scanner of the cluster) and then the Continue or Stop screen.

1. Repeat steps 3 - 5 changing the PCT-8000 X position (i.e. always before the PS Line (reference point) and parallel to a conveyor edge but changing to the left-hand edge and/or to the center of the conveyor), until the procedure terminates.

(X, Y, Z = 0) 2 PS Line Conveyor Direction

(X, Y, Z = 0) 3 PS Line Conveyor Direction

Typically 3 passes are necessary.

1. At the last step in the sequence the display prompts to place a barcode label centered onto the physical X position (X Offset) on the conveyor and then press Enter to Continue. You have 2 minutes to read the code before the procedure ends automatically.

NOTE

Be careful that the barcode is not accidentally read in the act of placing it at the desired X Offset position, and assure that it is read by only one scanner (see the figure below). After placing the barcode label on the X coordinate, you may have to pass your hand or other opaque object over it to end this step.

(X, Y, Z = 0) desired X Offset read here do not read here Conveyor Direction PS Line

Pressing Clear at any point will terminate the procedure without saving the Absolute X position alignment.

NOTE

Before resetting the SC6000, if desired, you can download the Auto PackTrack Report file from the SC6000 RAM by connecting it to Genius™ and using the Tools>File transfer... menu. See Help On-Line.

1. Manually reset the SC6000.

2.7.4 Auto PackTrack Report

The Auto PackTrack Report file can be downloaded from the SC6000 RAM by using the Tools>File transfer... menu in Genius™. The report is divided into three sections.

The first section contains the general calibration parameters:

Auto Setup can be performed in Genius ^™ , see Net-Autoset in par. 3.2.1.

3 SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION

3.1 GENIUS™ INSTALLATION

Genius ^™ is a Datalogic scanner configuration tool providing several important advantages:

• Multi-language version;
- Defined configuration directly stored in the device;
- Communication protocol independent from the physical interface which allows the device to be considered as a remote object to be configured and monitored.

To install Genius™, proceed as follows:

1) Turn on the PC that will be used for configuration (Windows: NT, XP, Vista or 7);
2) Insert the Genius ^TM CD-ROM;
3) Wait for the CD to autorun and follow the installation procedure.

When running Genius™, the procedure for setting the parameters is supported by a help online, which is displayed in an HTML browser. It can be selected from the Configuration Help option available in the Help menu. In addition, a context-sensitive help can be enabled by pressing the key after selecting the desired parameter.

3.2 GUIDE TO RAPID CONFIGURATION FOR SC6000 AS SYNCHRONIZED OR MULTIDATA MASTER

This configuration is valid when the network is composed only of DS6000, DS8100A and/or DX8200A slave scanners.

1. Run Genius™ from the configuration PC. The following window appears asking to select the configuration mode.

• Then, proceed with the Network Setup (par. 3.2.1).

• Configure the SC6000 and Slave Scanner parameters according to your application using the configuration window in Genius™ for each device. The main steps are:

• Configure the PackTrack parameters

• Select the codes to be read
• Set-up the communication parameters

• Define data formatting parameters

• Send the configuration to the Slave Scanners from the Send command in the Device Menu.

• Perform a DARP™ backup by clicking the relative icon in the Device Network area.

3.2.1 Genius™ Network Setup Through Master

Network Setup allows configuring your Local Lonworks Network through the Master using Genius™.

Three different procedures are available to define the number of network slave scanners, their label and address according to two main conditions:

Condition	Available	Procedure	Feature
Unknown Slave Addresses	Net-Autoset	automatically assigns random addresses to slave or Stand Alone scanners.
Known Slave Addresses	Network Wizard	customizes the network (slave label and address definition and physical identification of a specific slave within network), updates configuration to a file and makes it ready to be sent to the Master.
	Express Network Setup	automatically performs all the operations of the Network Wizard apart from the physical identification of a specific slave scanner.

NOTE

The Network Setup procedure as described requires Genius™ software version 1.06 or later. In addition, the Net-Autoset procedure requires scanner software version 6.40 or later.

Proceed with the network setup by using one of the icons available on the Tool Bar according to the procedure to follow:

= Net-Autoset procedure

= Network Wizard procedure

= Express Network Setup procedure

Net-Autoset

This procedure is to be used when all scanner addresses and labels are unknown (typically when configuring the network for the first time or whenever a network reconfiguration is required).

By clicking the icon or selecting the "Net_Autoset" option from the right-click menu, the Net-Autoset procedure is started allowing automatic assignment of random addresses to all slave or Stand Alone scanners connected within the network. Once the procedure has been completed, it is possible to:

• define customized addresses and labels through the Network Wizard;
• display the scanner default labels through the Express Network Setup.

Express Network Setup

Before performing this procedure, a Lonworks address must be assigned to each slave scanner. The most practical method is through the Net-Autoset procedure. See par. 3.2.2 for alternative address assignment methods.

Once all addresses have been assigned, the Express Network Setup is to be used when all scanner addresses and labels do not need to be modified.

By clicking on the icon or by choosing the related option from the right-click menu, the procedure is started which automatically performs the following operations:

• opening the wizard;
• polling the network to discover connected scanners;
• transferring all scanners found to the "Requested Devices" area of the wizard where your network customization is defined;
• saving the new network configuration;

Once the procedure has been completed, a dialog box will appear asking whether to send the configuration to the Master. Choose the "Yes" option to start this procedure.

Network Wizard

Before performing this procedure, a Lonworks address must be assigned to each slave scanner. The most practical method is through the Net-Autoset procedure. See par. 3.2.2 for alternative address assignment methods.

Once all addresses have been assigned, the Network Wizard is to be used when one or more scanner addresses and labels need to be modified.

1. Click on the

button to open the Network Wizard dialog box:

Network Wizard Requested Devices 0 - DS6400-100-011 Current Devices 0 - DS6400-100-011 1 - DS6500-105-010 Autodetect OK Cancel

a. if the slave scanners have already been configured and wired to the network, click on the Autodetect button to start a polling procedure of the current network. All slave scanners found will be represented in the "Current Devices" area. Then, select the

desired slave scanner from the "Current Devices" area and click on the icon (or drag and drop) to transfer it to the "Requested Devices" area where your network customization is defined. The following dialog box will appear allowing (if necessary) to change the slave address ("Available Device" field) and label ("Description" field):

New Device Available Devices #1 Description DS6500-105-010 OK Cancel

b. if the slave scanners have not been configured and wired to the network, click on the

icon to add a new device defining its address and model. The added slave user will be displayed in the "Requested Devices" area. This option in any cases that all slave scanners have their address set before the network can be on.

1. If desired, select a slave scanner within the "Current Devices" area and click on the

licon (or select the "Show Device" option from the right-click menu) to make the g box appear as follows:

Network Wizard Requested Devices 0 - DS6400-100-011 1 - DS6500-105-010 Current Devices 0 - DS6400-100-011 1 - DS6500-105-010 Autodetect OK Cancel

The "Show Device" option is particularly useful after the Net-Autoset procedure or whenever it is necessary to know which address is assigned to a specific slave scanner. Indeed, it activates the following signals which physically indicate the scanner corresponding to the one selected, in particular:

• in Network Wizard the icon corresponding to the selected slave scanner starts blinking red;

• in the Physical Network all slave scanner lasers turn off except the one of the selected scanner which turns on.

• If desired, select the transferred/added slave scanner within the "Requested Devices"

area and click on the _ icon to customize the scanner label and address.

1. Once your network has been customized, close the network wizard. Before closure, the program will show a dialog box asking whether to send the new configuration to the Master. Choose the "Yes" option to start this procedure.

3.2.2 Alternative Slave Address Assignment

As alternatives to Network Setup through the Master, each Slave scanner can be assigned an address through the following methods:

• random address assignment from SC6000 to all slaves in the network by performing the CASP™ procedure as described in par. 0:
• address setting through the Local Device Network Settings item in the Device Menu with the slave scanner connected locally to Genius™:

Local Device Network Settings Topology Role Slave (SYNCHRONIZED) Lonworks Slave Address Slave1 Slave1 Slave2 Slave3 Slave4 Slave5 Slave6 OK Cancel

- manual address setting through slave scanner keyboard (see par. "Internal Net" in the relative Scanner Reference Manual for details);

3.3 GUIDE TO RAPID CONFIGURATION FOR SC6000 AS CONTROLLER LON OLD8K

This configuration is valid when the network is composed of DS8100 or DX8200 slave scanners.

1) Connect to each scanner Debug port and set a Lonworks Node address which must be different and consecutive (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.).
2) Make all the necessary PackTrack parameter settings.
3) Run Genius™ from the configuration PC. The following window appears asking to select the configuration mode.

4 MAINTENANCE

4.1 DATALOGIC AUTOMATIC REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE (DARP ^TM )

When SC6000 is used as a SYNCHRONIZED or MULTIDATA Master (Topology Role parameter), a DARP ^™ backup procedure must be performed to automatically manage scanners and SC6000 replacement in case of failure (DARP ^™ Restore). Once the system configuration has been completed as described in par. 3.2, launch the DARP ^™ backup by one of the following methods:

Using Genius:

Click on the DARP ^™ backup icon in the Device Network area. You will be prompted to select the desired backup option (complete, all scanners, controller, or each single scanner).

Using the SC6000 keypad:

1. Press the and keys simultaneously to enter the Menu;
2. Use the keys to move within the menu items;
3. In the menu choose and select the desired backup option (complete, all scanners, controller, or each single scanner).

The SC6000 Controller will store the complete system configuration on the Compact Flash card.

If a slave scanner has to be replaced, the corresponding configuration (node address, code configuration, PackTrack™ configuration, etc.) is automatically downloaded by the SC6000 into the new scanner at the next system startup.

NOTE

All replacement scanners must be set to the factory default values.

In case of SC6000 failure, the complete system configuration can be recovered from the Compact Flash of the damaged SC6000: by simply installing the old Compact Flash in the new SC6000, the system configuration is automatically restored and the reading station is ready to start working again.

CAUTION

Before removing the Compact Flash card, switch the SC6000 Controller off.

In case of SC6000 failure proceed as follows:

Close-up of a mechanical component with a highlighted section and arrow indicator (no text or symbols)

Figure 40 - Removing the Compact Flash

1. Disconnect the device
2. Remove the rubber cover of the Compact Flash slot using a screwdriver
3. Remove the Compact Flash
4. Connect a new SC6000 to the system
5. Insert the Compact Flash card

CAUTION

Make sure not to insert the Compact Flash card upside down. Carefully insert it in the guides, so that it will not fall inside the device. Gently push it into the slot.

6. Start up the system

The system configuration is automatically restored and the reading station is ready to start working again.

4.2 AUTOMATIC SCANNER REPLACEMENT (ASR)

When SC6000 is used in a network of DS8100 or DX8200 scanners, (Topology Role parameter = Other; Device Assignment parameter = Controller Lon Old8K), an ASR backup procedure must be performed to automatically manage scanners and SC6000 replacement in case of failure (ASR Restore).

NOTE

In order for the ASR procedure to work on DS8100 or DX8200 slave scanners, they must have been installed according to the procedure in par. 3.3.

Once the system configuration has been completed, launch the ASR backup by one of the following methods:

Using Genius:

Click on the ASR backup item in the Device Menu. You will be prompted to select the desired backup option (complete, all slaves, controller).

Using the SC6000 keypad:

1. Press the and keys simultaneously to enter the Menu;
2. Use the keys to move within the menu items;
3. In the menu choose and select the desired backup option (complete, all scanners, controller).

The SC6000 Controller will store the complete system configuration on the Compact Flash card.

If a slave scanner has to be replaced, the corresponding configuration (node address, code configuration, PackTrack™ configuration, etc.) is automatically downloaded by the SC6000 into the new scanner at the next system startup.

NOTE

All replacement scanners must be set to the factory default values.

NOTE

If the SC6000 controller replaces an SC8000 controller within the network, (Topology Role parameter = Other; Device Assignment parameter = Controller Lon SC8000), refer to the "Replacing SC8000 with SC6000-PWO.pdf" document for details.

Isolation between the command logic and the scanner is maintained by powering the inputs with an external supply voltage (Vext). For convenience, the inputs can be powered using the VS_INPUTS signal on the SC6000 (pin 9). In this case, however, the device is no longer electrically isolated. The VS_INPUTS signal on the Extended I/O connector is short-circuit protected.

The electrical features of these inputs are:

Maximum voltage 30 V

Maximum current 10 mA

Outputs

Six general purpose outputs are available.

Pin	Name	Function
6	OUT 1+	Configurable digital output 1 – positive pin
19	OUT 1-	Configurable digital output 1 – negative pin
7	OUT 2+	Configurable digital output 2 – positive pin
20	OUT 2-	Configurable digital output 2 – negative pin
8	OUT 3+	Configurable digital output 3 – positive pin
21	OUT 3-	Configurable digital output 3 – negative pin
10	OUT 4+	Configurable digital output 4 – positive pin
23	OUT 4-	Configurable digital output 4 – negative pin
11	OUT 5+	Configurable digital output 5 – positive pin
24	OUT 5-	Configurable digital output 5 – negative pin
12	OUT 6+	Configurable digital output 6 – positive pin
25	OUT 6-	Configurable digital output 6 – negative pin

The function of all six outputs can be defined by the user.

Refer to Genius™ Help On-Line for further details.

By default, OUT1 is associated with COMPLETE READ event, which activates when the code has been read correctly. In case the reader has been programmed to read several codes within the same reading phase, the event activates when all codes have been read.

OUT2 is associated with NO READ event, which activates when no code has been read.

OUT3 - OUT6 are associated with NONE, which means that the output is always in line state.

Isolation between the command logic and the SC6000 is maintained by powering the outputs with an external supply voltage (Vext). For convenience, the outputs can be powered using the VS_OUTPUTS signal on the SC6000 (pin 1). In this case, however, the device is no longer electrically isolated. The VS_OUTPUTS on the Extended I/O connector is short-circuit protected.

The electrical features of these outputs are:

Collector-emitter voltage 30 V Max.

Collector current 130 mA Max.

Saturation voltage (VCE) 1 V at 10 mA Max.

Maximum power dissipation 90 mW at 50°C (Ambient temperature).

The limit requested by the maximum power dissipation is more important than that of the maximum collector current: if one of these outputs is continuously driven, the maximum current must not be more than 40 mA although 130 mA may be reached in pulse conditions.

Interface

A shared boundary defined by common physical interconnection characteristics, signal characteristics and meanings of interchanged signals.

LED (Light Emitting Diode)

A low power electronic device that can serve as a visible or near infrared light source when voltage is applied continuously or in pulses. It is commonly used as an indicator light and uses less power than an incandescent light bulb but more than a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). LEDs have extremely long lifetimes when properly operated.

Parameter

A value that you specify to a program. Typically parameters are set to configure a device to have particular operating characteristics.

Protocol

A formal set of conventions governing the formatting and relative timing of message exchange between two communicating systems.

RS232

Interface between data terminal equipment and data communication equipment employing serial binary data interchange.

RS485

Interface that specifies the electrical characteristics of generators and receivers for use in balanced digital multipoint systems such as on a Multidrop line.

Scanner

A device that examines a printed pattern (barcode) and either passes the uninterpreted data to a decoder or decodes the data and passes it onto the Host system.

Serial Port

An I/O port used to connect a scanner to your computer, identifiable by a 9-pin or 25-pin connector.

Signal

An impulse or fluctuating electrical quantity (i.e.: a voltage or current) the variations of which represent changes in information.

Symbol

A combination of characters including start/stop and checksum characters, as required, that form a complete scannable barcode.

Trigger Signal

A signal, typically provided by a photoelectric sensor or proximity switch, which informs the scanner of the presence of an object within its reading zone.
