1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The DS1100 scanner with decoder offers the best cost-effective solution for demanding industrial applications.

The DS1100 ultra compact dimensions, based on Datalogic experience in miniaturized laser components, have been specifically designed to make the scanner's integration into automated equipment extremely easy.

The Windows-based user-friendly WinHost utility program provided on CD-ROM simplifies the scanner's setup. The DS1100 can also be configured from a Host PC through the Host Mode procedure.

Some of the main features of DS1100 are listed below:

• miniaturized dimensions, light weight;
  • scanning speed: 500 scans/sec;
• raster version available;
• motor and the laser beam can be switched off through a software command (see also «Beam Shutter» in the WinHost Help On Line).

- 2 serial communication interfaces: RS232 + RS485;

- reads all popular codes;

• supply voltage: 5 Vdc (4 to 30 Vdc with converter);

- test mode to verify the reading features and exact positioning of the scanner without the need for external tools;

- programmable in 4 different operating modes to suit the most various barcode reading system requirements;

- code verifier;

• programmable input and output signals;

- light source: visible laser diode; the light emitted has a wavelength in the range 630 \~ 680 nm. For laser safety precautions refer to the “Safety Precautions” section at the beginning of this manual;

- low power consumption;

- IP65 protection class of the enclosure; the reader is therefore suitable for industrial environments where high protection against harsh external conditions is required;

The laser beam output window is on the side of the scanner in DS1100-XXX0 models and on the upper part of the scanner in DS1100-XXX1 models, (Figure A, 1).

A security system allows the laser to activate only once the motor has reached the correct rotational speed; consequently, the laser beam is generated after a slight delay from the power on of the scanner.

1.1.1 Indicators

The five LEDs on the scanner indicate the following:

POWER ON	(red) indicates the reader is connected to the power supply. (Figure A, 6).
EXT TRIG	(yellow) indicates external trigger activity. Refer to par. 2.3.4. (Figure A, 5).
LASER ON	(green) indicates laser ON state. (Figure A, 4).
GOOD READ	(red) is used to signal the possibility of a successful barcode reading. (Figure A, 3).
TX DATA	(green). When blinking, it indicates data transmission. (Figure A, 2).

The screw holes on the body of the reader are for mechanical fixture (Figure A, 8).

1.2 MODEL DESCRIPTION

2.3.2 Main Serial Interface - RS485 Half-Duplex

The RS485 half-duplex interface (3 wires + shield) is used for polled communication protocols.
It can be used for Multidrop connections in a Master/Slave layout or with a Datalogic Multiplexer, (see par. 2.6.2 and 2.6.3) exploiting a proprietary protocol based on polled mode called MUX32 protocol, where a master device polls slave devices to collect data.
The connector pinout follows:

	Pin	Name	Function

4	RTX485 -	RS485 transmitted/received data -
	7	SGND	signal ground

DS1100 USER INTERFACE RTX485 + RTX485 + RTX485 - SGND RS485 Ref 5 4 7

Figure 7 - RS485 Half-Duplex Connections

For this interface type, the Multidrop Address must also be set via serial channel by the WinHost utility or by ESC sequences.

Figure 8 shows an example of a multidrop configuration between a Multiplexer and DS1100 scanners.

CAUTION

This is an example of multidrop wiring. Consult the multiplexer manual for complete wiring instructions.

The auxiliary serial interface is used exclusively for RS232 point-to-point connections. It is also used for configuring the DS1100.

The parameters relative to the auxiliary interface (baud rate, data bits, etc.) can be defined using the WinHost utility program or "Host Mode Programming", installed from the CD-ROM.

The following pins of the 25-pin connector are used to connect the RS232 auxiliary interface:

2.5 POSITIONING

The scanner must be positioned so that the laser beam is aligned to completely intersect the codes passing in front of it. This positioning must also be within its reading distance (see par. 3.4).

The DS1100 scanner is able to decode barcode labels at a variety of angles, however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance. When mounting the DS1100 take into consideration these three ideal label position angles: Pitch 0°, Skew 15° to 30° and Tilt 0°.

Follow the suggestions for the best orientation:

The Pitch angle is represented by the value P in Figure 14. Position the reader in order to minimize the Pitch angle.

Technical line drawing of a conveyor belt system with a moving cart and a labeled point P (no text or symbols beyond label)

Figure 14 - Pitch Angle

The Skew angle is represented by the value S in Figure 15. Position the reader to assure about 15^ for the Skew angle. This avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the DS1100.

For the raster version, this angle refers to the most inclined or external raster line, so that all other raster lines assure more than 15^ Skew.

For the skew angle value with DS1100 90° versions, refer to par. 2.2.2.

2.6 TYPICAL LAYOUTS

The following typical layouts refer to system hardware configurations. Dotted lines in the figures refer to optional hardware configurations within the particular layout.

These layouts also require the correct setup of the software configuration parameters. Complete software configuration procedures can be found in the Guide To Rapid Configuration in the WinHost Help On Line.

2.6.1 Point-to-Point

In this layout data is transmitted to the Host on the RS232 Auxiliary serial interface. The Local Echo communication mode must be enabled (default) See the WinHost Help On Line.

When On-Line Operating mode is used, the scanner is activated by an External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

Figure 17 – Point-to-Point Layout

2.6.2 RS485 Master/Slave

The RS485 Master/Slave connection is used to collect data from several scanners to build a multi-point or a multi-sided reading system; there can be one master and up to 5 slaves connected together.

The Slave scanners are connected together using the RS485 half-duplex main serial interface. Every slave scanner must have a multidrop address in the range 0-4.

The master scanner is also connected to the Host on the RS232 auxiliary serial interface.

The External Trigger signal is unique to the system; there is a single reading phase and a single message from the master scanner to the Host computer.

It is necessary to bring the External Trigger signal to all the scanners.

The main and auxiliary ports are connected as shown in the following figure.

The auxiliary serial interface can be used in Local Echo mode to control any single scanner (visualize collected data) or to configure it using the WinHost utility or Host Mode programming procedure.

When On-Line Operating mode is used, the scanner is activated by an External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

3 READING FEATURES

The number of scans performed on the code by the DS1100 and therefore the decoding capability is influenced by the following parameters:

• number of scans per second
• code motion speed
- label dimensions
- scan direction with respect to code motion

Typically, 5 scans should be allowed during the code passage to ensure a successful read.

3.1 STEP-LADDER MODE

DS1100 Direction of code movement at LS speed LH Laser beam

Figure 20 - "Step-Ladder" Scanning Mode

If scanning is perpendicular to the code motion direction (Figure 20), the number of effective scans performed by the reader is given by the following formula:

$$ \mathbf {S N} = \left[ (\mathrm{LH/LS}) * \mathrm{SS} \right] - 2 $$

These symbols signify:

SN = number of effective scans

LH = label height (in mm)

LS = label movement speed (in mm/s)

SS = number of scans per second

For example, the DS1100 (500 scans/sec.) for a 25 mm high code moving at 1000 mm/s, performs:

$$ [ (2 5 / 1 0 0 0) * 5 0 0 ] - 2 = 1 0 \text { scans. } $$

3.2 PICKET-FENCE MODE

Direction of code movement at LS speed DS1100 LW FW Laser beam

Figure 21 - "Picket-Fence" Scanning Mode

If scanning is parallel to the code motion, (Figure 21), the number of effective scans is given by:

$$ \mathsf {S N} = [ ((\mathsf {F W - L W}) / \mathsf {L S}) * \mathsf {S S} ] - 2 $$

These symbols signify:

SN = number of effective scans

FW = reading field width (in mm)

LW = label width (in mm)

LS = label movement speed (in mm/s)

SS = scans per second

For example, for a 50 mm wide code moving in a point where the reading field is 180 mm wide at a 3000 mm/s speed, the DS1100 (500 scans per sec.), performs:

$$ [ ((1 8 0 - 5 0) / 3 0 0 0) * 5 0 0 ] - 2 = 2 0 \text { scans } $$

3.3 PERFORMANCE

The DS1100 scanner is available in different versions according to the reading performance.

Refer to the diagrams given in par. 3.4 for further details on the reading features. These diagrams are taken on various resolution sample codes at a 25^ C ambient temperature, depending on the conditions listed under each diagram.

3.3.1 Raster

Raster versions are available. If standard devices do not satisfy specific requirements, contact your nearest Datalogic distributor, supplying code samples, to obtain complete information on the reading possibilities.

The max. capture of raster versions is 15 mm (0.6 in) at 220 mm (8.7 in).

Aperture

Term used on the required CDRH warning labels to describe the laser exit window.

Barcode

A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in machine-readable form. The general format of a barcode symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format.

Barcode Label

A label that carries a barcode and can be affixed to an article.

Baud Rate

A unit used to measure communications speed or data transfer rate.

CDRH (Center for Devices and Radiological Health)

This organization (a service of the Food and Drug Administration) is responsible for the safety regulations governing acceptable limitations on electronic radiation from laser devices. Datalogic devices are in compliance with the CDRH regulations.

Code Positioning

Variation in code placement that affects the ability of a scanner to read a code. The terms Pitch, Skew, and Tilt deal with the angular variations of code positioning in the X, Y and Z axes. See pars. 2.2.1 and 2.5. Variations in code placement affect the pulse width and therefore the decoding of the code. Pulse width is defined as a change from the leading edge of a bar or space to the trailing edge of a bar or space over time. Pulse width is also referred to as a transition. Tilt, pitch, and skew impact the pulse width of the code.

Decode

The process of translating a barcode into data characters using a specific set of rules for each symbology.

Decoder

As part of a barcode reading system, the electronic package which receives the signals from the scanner, performs the algorithm to interpret the signals into meaningful data and provides the interface to other devices. The decoder is normally integrated into the scanner.

EAN

European Article Number System. The international standard barcode for retail food packages.

EEPROM

Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. An on-board non-volatile memory chip.

Full Duplex

Simultaneous, two-way, independent transmission in both directions.

Half Duplex

Transmission in either direction, but not simultaneously.

Host

A computer that serves other terminals in a network, providing services such as network control, database access, special programs, supervisory programs, or programming languages.

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.

Multidrop Line

A single communications circuit that interconnects many stations, each of which contains terminal devices. See RS485.

Parameter

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

Picket-Fence Orientation

When the barcode's bars are positioned vertically on the product, causing them to appear as a picket fence. The first bar will enter the scan window first. See par. 3.2.

Pitch

Rotation of a code pattern about the X-axis. The normal distance between center line or adjacent characters. See pars. 2.2.1 and 2.5.

Position

The position of a scanner or light source in relation to the target of a receiving element.

Protocol

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

Raster

The process of projecting the laser beam at varied angles spaced evenly from each other. Typically, the mirrored rotor surfaces are angled to create multiple scan lines instead of a single beam.

Resolution

The narrowest element dimension which can be distinguished by a particular reading device or printed with a particular device or method.

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.

Skew

Rotation about the Y-axis. Rotational deviation from correct horizontal and vertical orientation; may apply to single character, line or entire encoded item. See pars. 2.2.1 and 2.5.

Step-Ladder orientation

When the barcode's bars are positioned horizontally on the product, causing them to appear as a ladder. The ends of all bars will enter the scan window first. See par. 3.1.

Symbol

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

Tilt

Rotation around the Z axis. Used to describe the position of the barcode with respect to the laser scan line. See pars. 2.2.1 and 2.5.

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.

UPC

Acronym for Universal Product Code. The standard barcode type for retail food packaging in the United States.

Visible Laser Diode

A light source used in scanners to illuminate the barcode symbol. Generates visible red light at wavelengths between 630 and 680 nm.
