STEP 3 - X-PRESS™ CONFIGURATION

X-PRESS ^™ is the intuitive Human Machine Interface designed to improve ease of installation and maintenance.

Status and diagnostic information are clearly presented by means of the five colored LEDs, whereas the single push button gives immediate access to the following relevant functions:

• AutoSetup to self-optimize and auto-configure reading performance in demanding applications
• AutoLearn to self-detect and auto-configure for reading unknown barcodes (by type and length)
• Test Mode with bar-graph visualization to check static reading performance

READY GOOD TRIGGER LEARN COM TEST STATUS press interface

NOTE

If using the OM2000N accessory, when entering the X-PRESS™ interface, the Oscillating Mirror remains in the default fixed position (-15°) in order to make barcode reading easier while performing the X-PRESS™ functions.

The colors and meaning of the five LEDs are illustrated in the following table:

READY (green)	This LED indicates the device is ready to operate. For Subzero models this LED blinks during the warm-up phase.
GOOD (green) This LED	confirms successful reading.
TRIGGER (yellow) This LED	ledicates the status of the reading phase. *
COM (yellow) This LED	indicates active communication on main serial port. **
STATUS (red) This LED	indicates a NO READ result.

* In On-Line mode the TRIGGER LED corresponds to the active reading phase signaled by the Presence Sensor. In Automatic and Continuous modes the TRIGGER LED is always on indicating that the reader is ready to read a code.
** When connected to a Fieldbus network through the CBX500, the COM LED is always active, even in the absence of data transmission, because of polling activity on the Fieldbus network.

During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), all the LEDs blink for one second.

On the back of the reader near the cable, the "POWER ON" LED indicates the laser scanner is correctly powered.

Auto Learn

If you are configuring your scanner using X-PRESS™, you must start with the Auto Learn procedure.

1. Enter the Auto Learn function by holding the X-PRESS™ push button pressed until the LEARN LED is on.
2. Release the button to enter the Auto Learn function.
   Once entered, the reader starts a procedure to automatically detect and recognize barcodes (by type and length), which are presented to it (*). The laser turns on and the LEARN LED blinks to indicate the ongoing process.

    A["READY"] --> B["GREEN"]
    C["GOOD"] --> D["GREEN"]
    E["TRIGGER"] --> F["YELLOW"]
    G["COM"] --> H["YELLOW"]
    I["STATUS"] --> J["RED"]

Figure 6 – X-PRESS™ Interface: Auto Learn Function

The procedure is as follows:

A) place the desired barcode on the scanline.
B) wait until the LEARN LED stays steady on (indicating the reader has detected the barcode).
C) repeat, if needed, the above two steps to program up to 10 different barcodes (the LEARN LED returns to the blinking state for the next code). If more than one barcode is detected in the scan line, the Multi Label mode is enabled (refer to the "2K/4K Family Software Configuration Parameter Guide" Help file).

1. Exit the process by pressing the X-PRESS™ push button once. The scanner will restart at the end of the process, and then the detected barcodes are automatically configured in scanner memory.

NOTE
If the barcode cannot be read because of low contrast or excessive ambient light, you can perform the AutoSetup function to optimize the optical parameters. Then you can perform AutoLearn to recognize the barcode symbology.

NOTE

On exit from Autolearn, the following parameters are forced: Code Combination = Single Label, Reading Mode = Linear. If necessary, these parameters can be changed through Genius ^™ .

* In case of Programming Barcodes, refer to the “Setup Procedure Using Programming Barcodes” document in the product CD.

Auto Setup (Optional)

At the end of the Auto Learn procedure, you have the possibility to follow the Auto Setup procedure to set up the reading parameters.

1. Enter the Auto Setup function by holding the X-PRESS™ push button pressed until the SETUP LED is on.
2. Release the button to enter the Auto Setup function.
3. Once entered, if a barcode label is positioned in front of the scanline, the scanner automatically performs the optimal setup of the reading parameters for that specific barcode.

graph LR
    A["READY"] --> B["GREEN"]
    C["GOOD"] --> D["GREEN"]
    E["LEARN"] --> F["TRIGGER"]
    G["TEST"] --> H["COM"]
    I["STATUS"] --> J["RED"]

Figure 7 – X-PRESS™ Interface: Auto Setup Function

The procedure is as follows:

A) place the desired barcode on the scanline.
B) enter the AutoSetup function (the laser turns on and the SETUP LED blinks to indicate the ongoing process)
C) wait until the SETUP LED stays steady on (indicating the reader has detected the barcode)

This procedure ends either when the barcode is successfully decoded or after a timeout of about 7 (seven) seconds.

The scanner will restart at the end of the process, and then the optimized reading parameters for that barcode are automatically configured in scanner memory.

NOTE

If your application has been configured using X-PRESS ^™ , go to STEP 5.

Reset Scanner to Factory Default (Optional)

If it ever becomes necessary to reset the scanner to the factory default values, you can perform this procedure by holding the X-PRESS™ push button pressed while powering up the scanner. At the end of the procedure (about 5-6 seconds), the Configuration and Environmental parameters are reset, and all LEDs blink simultaneously 3 times. If connected through a CBX500 with display module, the message "Default Set" is shown on the display.

STEP 4 – INSTALLING GENIUS™ CONFIGURATION PROGRAM

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

• Wizard approach for new users;
• Multi-language version;
• Defined configuration directly stored in the reader;
• Communication protocol independent from the physical interface allowing to consider the reader as a remote object to be configured and monitored.

To install Genius™, turn on the PC that will be used for the configuration, running Windows 98, 2000/NT, XP, Vista or 7, then insert the Genius™ CD-ROM, wait for the CD to autorun and follow the installation procedure.

This configuration procedure assumes scanner connection to a CBX100/500. Genius™, running on a laptop computer, is connected to the scanner auxiliary port through the CBX100/500 9-pin connector. To communicate with the scanner, Genius™ performs an auto baudrate detection starting from its default parameters which are 115200, 8, N, 1. These parameters can also be set in the Genius™ Tools>Options>Communications window.

COM	(yellow)	This LED indicates active communication on main serial port. **
STATUS	(red)	This LED indicates a NO READ result.

* In On-Line mode the TRIGGER LED corresponds to the active reading phase signaled by the Presence Sensor. In Automatic and Continuous modes the TRIGGER LED is always on indicating that the reader is ready to read a code.
** When connected to a Fieldbus network through the CBX500, the COM LED is always active, even in the absence of data transmission, because of polling activity on the Fieldbus network.

During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), all the LEDs blink for one second.

On the back of the reader near the cable, the "POWER ON" LED indicates the laser scanner is correctly powered.

2.2 ID-NET™

The ID-NET ^™ is a built-in high-speed interface dedicated for high-speed scanner interconnection. The ID-NET ^™ is in addition to the Main and Auxiliary serial interfaces.

The following network configurations are available:

ID-NET™ M/S Synchronized: Single station – multiple scanners

graph TD
    A["CBX100"] --> B["Switch"]
    C["CBX100"] --> B
    D["CBX100"] --> B

    style A fill:#f9f,stroke:#333
    style C fill:#f9f,stroke:#333
    style D fill:#f9f,stroke:#333

ID-NET ^™ interface allows local connection of multiple scanners reading different sides of the same target. All scanners 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 scanners is highly efficient so that an immediate result will be available.

ID-NET™ M/S Multidata: Multiple stations – single scanner

graph TD
    A["Input Module 1"] --> B["CBX100"]
    C["Input Module 2"] --> D["CBX100"]
    E["Input Module 3"] --> F["CBX100"]
    B --> G["ID NET™"]
    D --> G
    F --> G

ID-NET™ interface allows connection of scanners reading objects placed on independent conveyors. All scanners are typically located far away from each other and they use a dedicated presence sensor.

At the end of each reading phase, each scanner 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 external multiplexing device. This leads to an overall cost reduction and to a simple system wiring.

2.2.1 How To Setup/Configure the Scanner Network

A complete ID-NET ^™ scanner network can be rapidly setup, as follows:

Mounting & Connection

1. Mechanically mount/install all the readers (refer to par. 3.2 and 3.2.5).
2. Wire ID-NET ^TM (refer to par. 4.3 or 5.3).
3. Connect the planned Master scanner to a PC by means of the Genius™ configuration software.
4. Power up the entire system.

Configuration

1. Launch Genius™.
2. From the Genius™ Device Menu select "Local Device Network Settings" and program the Role of the Master scanner (Synchronized or Multidata).
   This procedure requires the Network Baud Rate be the same for all Slaves and Master, (500 kbs is the default value). It can be changed after network setup using Genius ^™ through the Master scanner. See also the alternative procedure in the note below.
3. At the prompt to "Send updated Network configuration to the Local Device" (Master) choose "Yes".
4. Then run the NET-AUTOSET procedure from the Icon in the Devices Area. Genius™ sets all slave scanners according to the Master Role (Synchronized or Multidata), and assigns each a random address. If necessary, this address can be changed through the Network Wizard.
5. Configure the System parameters via Genius ^TM .
6. If using the CBX connection box equipped with a BM100 Backup module, perform System Backup at the Master.

The scanner network is ready.

NOTE
If necessary, the ID-NET ^™ baudrate can be set individually on each Slave scanner to match the Master. Connect each Slave to Genius ^™ and set the Reading System Layout > Network Baudrate parameter. Then follow the procedure above.

NOTE

An alternative method of programming scanner address and role assignment can be accomplished by using the "Connectivity Programming Barcodes" (refer to the "Setup Procedure Using Programming Barcodes" document on the product CD).

2.3 X-PRESS™ HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE

X-PRESS™ is the intuitive Human Machine Interface designed with the precise goal of improving ease of installation and maintenance.

Status and diagnostic information are clearly presented by means of five-colored LEDs, whereas the single multi-function key gives immediate access to relevant functions:

• Autosetup to self-optimize reading performance in demanding applications
  • Autolearn to self-detect unknown barcodes
• Test Mode with bar-graph visualization to check static reading performance

READY GOOD SETUP LEARN TRIGGER COM TEST STATUS Xpress Interface

X-PRESS™ is the common interface adopted in all new products: "You learn one, you can use them all".

The colors and meaning of the five LEDs when in the one of the operating modes (On-Line, Automatic or Continuous) are illustrated in par 2.1.1.

NOTE

The X-PRESS™ functions do not work if the motor or laser are turned off, see chp. 9 for details.

2.3.1 Diagnostic Indication

The "STATUS" and "READY" LEDs blink simultaneously to signal the presence of a failure. Diagnostic message transmission on interfaces can be enabled to provide details about specific failure conditions.

At the same time one or more LEDs light up according to the following scheme:

graph LR
    A["READY"] --> B["GOOD"]
    B --> C["TRIGGER"]
    C --> D["COM"]
    D --> E["STATUS"]
    F["SETUP"] --> A
    G["LEARN"] --> C
    H["TEST"] --> D

LED	STATUS
READY	BLINK
GOOD	ON to indicate any Failure different than Motor or Laser failures.
TRIGGER ON to indicate a Motor Failure.
COM ON to indicate a Laser Failure.
STATUS	BLINK

2.3.2 X-PRESS™ Functions

Quick access to the following functions is provided by an easy procedure using the push button:

1 - Press the button (the STATUS LED will give a visual feedback).
2 - Hold the button until the specific function LED is on (TEST, LEARN or SETUP).
3 - Release the button to enter the specific function.

    end

Test Mode Function

Once entered, the Bar-Graph on the five LEDs is activated and if the scanner starts reading barcodes the Bar-Graph shows the Good Read Rate. In case of no read condition, only the STATUS LED is on and blinks.

To exit the Test Mode, press the X-PRESS ^™ push button once.

AutoLearn Function

Once entered, the reader starts a procedure to automatically detect and recognize barcodes (by type and length), which are presented to it ^1 . The laser turns on and the LEARN LED blinks to indicate the ongoing process.

The procedure is as follows:

• place the desired barcode on the scanline.
• wait until the LEARN LED stays steady on (indicating the reader has detected the barcode).
• repeat, if needed, the above two steps to program up to 10 different barcodes (the LEARN LED returns to the blinking state for the next code). If more than one barcode is detected in the scan line, the Multi Label mode is enabled (refer to the "2K/4K Family Software Configuration Parameter Guide" Help file).
• exit the process by pressing the X-PRESS™ push button once.

The scanner will restart at the end of the process, and then the detected barcodes are automatically configured in scanner memory.

AutoSetup Function

Once entered, if a barcode label is positioned in front of the scanline, the scanner automatically performs the optimal setup of the reading parameters for that specific barcode.

The procedure is as follows:

- place the desired barcode on the scanline.

- enter the AutoSetup function (the laser turns on and the SETUP LED blinks to indicate the ongoing process).

- wait until the SETUP LED stays steady on (indicating the reader has detected the barcode).

This procedure ends either when the barcode is successfully decoded or after a timeout of about 7 (seven) seconds.

The scanner will restart at the end of the process, and then the optimized reading parameters for that barcode are automatically configured in scanner memory.

NOTE

The AutoSetup function does not modify the programmed barcode symbologies. If needed, the AutoLearn function can be performed after Autosetup.

Reset Scanner to Factory Default

If it ever becomes necessary to reset the scanner to the factory default values, you can perform this procedure by holding the X-PRESS™ push button pressed while powering up the scanner. At the end of the procedure (about 5-6 seconds), the Configuration and Environmental parameters are reset, all LEDs blink simultaneously 3 times and the message "Default Set" is shown on the display.

2.4 SUBZERO TEMPERATURE MODELS

The DS2400N Subzero scanner is an industrial scanner designed to operate in industrial refrigerator/freezer cells or other stable subzero degree environments, which are below the operating range of standard industrial scanners. It is not designed to move between subzero and normal environments (rapid temperature changes).

The DS2400N Subzero has an intelligent microprocessor-driven and efficient internal heating system which constantly monitors and automatically controls internal temperature. Only the necessary temperature-sensitive components are heated, resulting in an efficient heating system which has very low power consumption.

Upon power-up in a subzero environment, the scanner waits until these internal components are heated to within their operating temperature range. Power-up at -35 ^ can take about 20 minutes before the scanner is ready to read barcodes. During this time the laser and motor remain off and the Ready LED blinks, indicating the warm-up phase. While in the warm-up phase, scanner communication is operative and the device can be configured through Genius ^™ or through Host Mode Programming.

The DS2400N Subzero can be connected to the CBX100 LT Subzero connection box which can withstand the same low temperature environment as the scanner. A CBX100 LT all-in-one model includes a BM100 backup and restore module having an extended temperature range also for use in subzero environments.

2.5 MODEL DESCRIPTION

The DS2400N scanner is available in versions that differ in regard to the following parameters:

• Resolution
• Performance
  • Linear or raster reading

Figure 22 - GFC-200 Overall Dimensions

To fix a DS2400N Scanner to the GFC-200, use the two M 4 x 6 mm screws supplied with the GFC Kit. Refer to the following figure.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical housing and enclosure assembly (no text or symbols)

Technical line drawing of a mechanical housing or enclosure component (no text or symbols)

The GFC-200 85° contact reading mirror assures that the minimum skew angle is maintained to avoid direct light reflection which can degrade reading performance.

When reading very reflective barcodes, it may be necessary to increase the skew angle (up to 10^ - 15^ ). In this case, the GFC-200 should be mounted with a corresponding inclination.

Code Surface 85° up to 10°/15°

Figure 24 – Maintaining Minimum Skew Angle

The internal optical path from the scanner reading window to the GFC-200 window is 51 mm.

The reading distance of the DS2400N scanner with the GFC-200 is shifted by 51 mm towards the scanner because of the internal optical path between the scanner and the GFC-200 output window.

The reading performance also decreases in typical conditions by about 10% due to the optical signal passing through the output window of the GFC-200 and the reflection on the mirror surface.

The combination of these effects produces the reading diagram represented below:

Figure 25 – GFC-200 Reading Performance Comparison

3.2.5 Mounting an OM2000N Accessory Oscillating Mirror

The OM2000N oscillating mirror is designed to generate homogeneous and adjustable raster reading through deflection of the scanning laser beam.

The system consists of the oscillating mirror attached to the scanner and allows a surface instead of a line to be observed; versatility and reading accuracy are therefore increased in "Picket Fence" reading mode.

The electronic and electromechanical components controlling the mirror movement are contained inside the rugged metal casing, which guarantees protection class IP65 when the OM2000N is mounted correctly onto the scanner.

The OM2000N is directly powered from the scanner through a connector which is accessible after removing the scanning window (see Figure 28). It therefore operates exclusively at low power, between 10 and 30 VDC.

The OM2000N accessory is not compatible with and therefore cannot be used on Subzero models.

The following figure gives the overall dimensions of the DS2400N + OM2000N and may be used for its installation in the application.

44 [1.73] 69 [2.72]

107 [4.21] ADALOGIC

The installation of the deflection mirror is very easy.

1) Clean the OM2000N mirror surface and output window (internally and externally) with a clean soft cloth and alcohol before assembling it to the scanner.

CAUTION

All abrasive substances must be absolutely avoided as they cause irreparable damage to the transparency of the glass.

2) Remove the scanning window from the scanner (see Figure 27).

3) Bring the OM2000N close to the scanner and insert the cable into the power connector of the scanner (see Figure 28).

NOTE

Make sure the cable doesn't remain in the path of the mirror movement.

4) Check that the seal is correctly positioned and then after having aligned the OM2000N onto the scanner, fix it using the two screws (see Figure 29).

5) In the indicated space on the front side of the OM2000N, apply the relative replicate scanner serial number label provided with the scanner itself (see Figure 30).

The reading distance of the scanner with the OM2000N is shifted by 10 mm towards the scanner because of the internal optical path between the scanner and the OM2000N output window. The reading performance also decreases in typical conditions by about 10% due to the optical signal passing through the output window of the OM2000N and the reflection on the mirror surface. The combination of these effects produces the reading diagram represented below:

Figure 31 – OM2000N Reading Performance Comparison

The reading distance also depends on the amplitude of aperture used. In particular, wider apertures require the scanner to be closer to the code in order to read at the extreme edges of the sweep (see Figure 32 below).

NOTE

The OM2000N is configurable exclusively through the Genius™ utility program.

3.3 POSITIONING

The DS2400N scanner is able to decode moving barcode labels at a variety of angles, however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.

When mounting the DS2400N take into consideration these three ideal label position angles: Skew 10^ to 30^ , Tilt 0^ and Pitch 0^ .

Follow the suggestions for the best orientation:

The Skew angle is represented by the value S in Figure 33. Position the reader to assure at least 10° for the Skew angle. This avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the DS2400N.

For the raster version, this angle refers to the most inclined or external raster line, so that all other raster lines assure more than 10^ Skew.

Diagram showing a blue and yellow device next to a white box with a striped pattern, labeled 'S' (no text or symbols on the devices themselves)

Figure 33 - Skew Angle

The Tilt angle is represented by the value T in Figure 34. Position the reader in order to minimize the Tilt angle.

By using the Reconstruction Reading Mode software parameter, the tilt angle is less critical and can be decoded even if the scan line doesn't cross the entire code.

DOSA NO. T

Figure 34 - Tilt Angle

See par. 7.1 or the Help On Line for details.

The Pitch angle is represented by the value P in Figure 35. Position the reader in order to minimize the Pitch angle.

4 CBX ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

All DS2400N models are equipped with a cable terminated by a 25-pin male D-sub connector for connection to the power supply and input/output signals.

We recommend making system connections through one of the CBX connection boxes since they offer the advantages of easy connection, easy device replacement and filtered reference signals.

NOTE

If you require direct wiring to the scanner the details of the connector pins and relative connections are indicated in Chapter 5.

The table below gives the pinout of the CBX100/500 terminal block connectors. Use this pinout when the DS2400N reader is connected by means of the CBX100/500:

* Do not leave floating, see par. 4.2.2 for connection details.

NOTE

To avoid electromagnetic interference when the scanner is connected to a CBX connection box, verify the jumper positions in the CBX as indicated in its Installation Manual.

4.1 POWER SUPPLY

Power can be supplied to the scanner through the CBX100/500 spring clamp terminal pins as shown in Figure 36:

Power Supply VGND V+ in Earth Ground Vdc GND Earth REF ID+ ID- Shield SGND TX RTS RX CTS POWER ID-NET MAIN (R)TX+ (R)TX- RX+ RX- 1

Figure 36 - Power Supply Connections

The power must be between 10 and 30 Vdc only.

For DS2400N Subzero models using CBX100 LT the power must be 24 Vdc.

It is recommended to connect the device CHASSIS to earth ground (Earth) by setting the appropriate jumper in the CBX connection box. See the CBX Installation Manual for details.

4.2 MAIN SERIAL INTERFACE

CAUTION

Do not connect to the Main Interface spring clamp terminals if using Host Interface Modules (Fieldbus) with the CBX500.

The signals relative to the following serial interface types are available on the CBX spring clamp terminal blocks.

If the interface type is not compatible with the current communication handshaking, then the system forces the handshake to none.

The main interface type and the relative parameters (baud rate, data bits, etc.) can be set using the Genius ^™ utility program or the Genius ^™ based Host Mode Programming procedure.

Details regarding the connections and use of the interfaces are given in the next paragraphs.

4.2.1 RS232 Interface

The serial interface is used in this case for point-to-point connections; it handles communication with the host computer and allows both transmission of code data and the programming of the scanner. This is the default setting.

The following pins are used for RS232 interface connection:

CBX100/500 Function
TX	Transmit	Data
RX	Receive	Data
RTS Request To Send
CTS Clear To Send
SGND	Signal	Ground

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

Figure 38 - RS232 Control Signals

If the RTS/CTS handshaking protocol is enabled, the DS2400N activates the RTS output to indicate a message is to be transmitted. The receiving unit activates the CTS input to enable the transmission.

4.2.2 RS485 Full-Duplex Interface

The RS485 full-duplex (5 wires + shield) interface is used for non-polled communication protocols in point-to-point connections over longer distances (max 1200 m / 3940 ft) than those acceptable for RS232 communications or in electrically noisy environments.

4.2.3 RS485 Half-Duplex Interface

NOTE

This interface is provided for backward compatibility. We recommend using the more efficient ID-NET ^™ network for Master/Slave or Multiplexer layouts.

The RS485 half-duplex (3 wires + shield) interface is used for polled communication protocols.

It can be used for Multidrop connections with a Datalogic Multiplexer, (see par. 6.5) exploiting a proprietary protocol based on polled mode called MUX32 protocol, where a master device polls slave devices to collect data.

Figure 41 - RS485 Half-duplex Connections

This interface is forced by software when the protocol selected is MUX32 protocol.

In a Multiplexer layout, the Multidrop address must also be set via serial channel by the Genius ^™ utility or by the Host Programming Mode.

Figure 42 shows a multidrop configuration with DS2400N scanners connected to a Multiplexer.

CAUTION

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

Figure 42 - DS2400N Multidrop Connection to a Multiplexer
* When using CBX500, the Main interface multidrop network signals: Shield, SGND, RTX+and RTX- are repeated on terminal connector row 4 to facilitate system cabling.

The following instructions are referred to Figure 44, Figure 45 and Figure 46.

- 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 (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).

• Scanner's chassis may be connected to earth.
  • Network inside the same building.

Baudrate Table
Baud Rate 125 kbps	250 kbps		500 kbps	1Mbps
Cable Length 1200 m	900 m		700 m	*

* Application dependent, contact your Datalogic Automation representative for details.

NOTE

The default ID-NET ^™ baudrate is 500 kbps. Lower ID-NET ^™ baudrates allow longer cable lengths. The baudrate is software configurable by authorized Datalogic Automation personnel only.

The following figure shows the response time of the ID-NET ^™ network. This time is defined as the period between the Trigger activation and the beginning of data transmission to the Host.

Figure 46 – ID-NET™ Network Connections with Common Power Star Network

The network must be properly terminated in the first and last scanner of the network. This is done by setting the ID-NET ^™ Termination Resistance Switch in the CBX100/500 to ON.

4.4 AUXILIARY RS232 INTERFACE

The auxiliary serial interface is used exclusively for RS232 point-to-point connections.

The parameters relative to the aux interface (baud rate, data bits, etc.) as well as particular communication modes such as LOCAL ECHO can be defined using the Genius ^™ utility program or Genius ^™ based Host Mode Programming installed from the CD-ROM.

The 9-pin female Auxiliary Interface connector inside the CBX is the preferred connector for device configuration or communication monitoring.

Figure 48 - RS232 Auxiliary Interface Connections

NOTE

Do not connect the Aux Interface to the CBX spring clamp connectors and the 9-pin connector simultaneously.

4.5 INPUTS

There are two optocoupled polarity insensitive inputs available on the scanner: Input 1 (External Trigger) and Input 2, a generic input:

The electrical features of both inputs are:

Maximum voltage: 30 Vdc

Maximum current: 12 mA (scanner) + 12 mA (CBX)

An anti-disturbance filter is implemented in software on both inputs so that the minimum pulse duration is 5 milliseconds. This value can be increased through the software parameter Debounce Filter, see the "2K/4K Family Software Configuration Parameter Guide" Help file".

CBX100/500 Function

+V Power Source - External Trigger

I1A External Trigger A (polarity insensitive)

I1B External Trigger B (polarity insensitive)

-V Power Reference - External Trigger

The External Trigger input is used in the On-Line operating Mode and tells the scanner to scan for a code. The active state of this input is selected in software. Refer to the Genius ^™ Help On Line.

The yellow Trigger LED (Figure A, 3) is on when the active state of the External Trigger corresponds to ON.

This input is optocoupled and can be driven by both an NPN and PNP type command. The connections are indicated in the following diagrams:

I2A Input 2 A (polarity insensitive)

I2B Input 2 B (polarity insensitive)

-V Power Reference - Inputs

If the DS2400N is used as a Code Verifier, the verifier code can be configured in software through the Genius ^TM configuration program. However it is also possible to use one of the inputs to trigger when the scanner should store a code read as the verifier code.

The Code Verifier parameter must be enabled, and the configuration parameters to allow correct Code Type reading must be saved to the scanner in order to read the verifier code.

When the selected input is activated, the next read code will be stored as the verifier code in the scanner's non-volatile (Flash) memory.

For more details see the Verifier Parameters in the "2K/4K Family Software Configuration Parameter Guide" Help file".

4.6 OUTPUTS

Two general purpose outputs are available.

CBX100/500 Function
+V Power Source	- Outputs
O1+ Output 1 +
O1- Output 1 -
O2+ Output 2 +
O2- Output 2 -
-V Power Reference Outputs

The meaning of the two outputs Output 1 and Output 2 can be defined by the user (No Read, Right, Wrong, etc.). Refer to the Genius™ Help On Line.

By default, Output 1 is associated with the No Read event, which activates when the code signaled by the external trigger is not decoded, and Output 2 is associated with the Complete Read event, which activates when all the selected codes are correctly decoded.

The output signals are fully programmable being determined by the configured Activation/Deactivation events, Deactivation Timeout or a combination of the two.

5.1 POWER SUPPLY

Power can be supplied to the scanner through the pins provided on the 25-pin connector used for communication with the host (Figure 60):

DS2400N 13 Vdc 25 GND 1 CHASSIS Earth Ground POWER SUPPLY V+ (10 - 30 Vdc) VGND CHASSIS

Figure 60 - Power Supply Connections

The power must be between 10 and 30 Vdc only.

For DS2400N Subzero models the power must be 24 Vdc.

It is recommended to connect pin 1 (CHASSIS) to a common earth ground.

5.2 MAIN SERIAL INTERFACE

The signals relative to the following serial interface types are available on the input/output connector of DS2400N.

If the interface type is not compatible with the current communication handshaking, then the system forces the handshake to none.

The main interface type and the relative parameters (baud rate, data bits, etc.) can be set using the Genius ^™ utility program or the Genius ^™ based Host Mode Programming procedure.

Details regarding the connections and use of the interfaces are given in the next paragraphs.

5.2.1 RS232 Interface

5.2.3 RS485 Half-Duplex Interface

NOTE

This interface is provided for backward compatibility. We recommend using the more efficient ID-NET ^™ network for Master/Slave or Multiplexer layouts.

The RS485 half-duplex (3 wires + shield) interface is used for polled communication protocols.

It can be used for Multidrop connections with a Datalogic Multiplexer, (see par. 6.5) 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:

This interface is forced by software when the protocol selected is MUX32 protocol.

In a Multiplexer layout, the Multidrop address must also be set via serial channel by the Genius ^™ utility or by the Host Programming Mode.

Figure 66 shows a multidrop configuration with DS2400N scanners connected to a Multiplexer.

The following instructions are referred to Figure 68, Figure 69 and Figure 70.

- 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 (23 and 24).

• 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).

• Scanner's chassis may be connected to earth.
  • Network inside the same building.

Baudrate Table
Baud Rate 125 kbps	250 kbps		500 kbps	1Mbps
Cable Length 1200 m	900 m		700 m	*

* Application dependent, contact your Datalogic Automation representative for details.

NOTE

The default ID-NET ^™ baudrate is 500 kbps. Lower ID-NET ^™ baudrates allow longer cable lengths. The baudrate is software configurable by authorized Datalogic Automation personnel only.

The following figure shows the response time of the ID-NET ^™ network. This time is defined as the period between the Trigger activation and the beginning of data transmission to the Host.

Figure 70 – ID-NET™ Network Connections with Common Power Star Network

The network must be properly terminated by a 120 Ohm resistor at the first and last scanner of the network.

5.4 AUXILIARY RS232 INTERFACE

The auxiliary serial interface is used exclusively for RS232 point-to-point connections.

The parameters relative to the aux interface (baud rate, data bits, etc.) as well as particular communication modes such as LOCAL ECHO can be defined using the Genius ^™ utility program or Genius ^™ based Host Mode Programming installed from the CD-ROM.

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

Pin	Name	Function
20	RX	Receive	Data
21	TX	Transmit	Data
7	GND	Ground

USER INTERFACEDS2400N 20 RX 21 TX 7 GND Chassis TXD RXD GND

Figure 71 - RS232 Auxiliary Interface Connections

5.5 INPUTS

There are two optocoupled polarity insensitive inputs available on the scanner: Input 1 (External Trigger) and Input 2, a generic input:

The electrical features of both inputs are:

Maximum voltage: 30 Vdc

Maximum current: 12 mA

An anti-disturbance filter is implemented in software on both inputs so that the minimum pulse duration is 5 milliseconds. This value can be increased through the software parameter Debounce Filter, see the "2K/4K Family Software Configuration Parameter Guide" Help file".

25-pin Name Function
9 Vdc	Power Source - External Trigger
18 I1A	External Trigger A (polarity insensitive)
19 I1B	External Trigger B (polarity insensitive)
7 GND	Power Reference - External Trigger

The External Trigger input is used in the On-Line operating Mode and tells the scanner to scan for a code. The active state of this input is selected in software. Refer to the Genius ^™ Help On Line.

The yellow Trigger LED (Figure A, 3) is on when the active state of the External Trigger corresponds to ON.

This input is optocoupled and can be driven by both an NPN and PNP type command. The connections are indicated in the following diagrams:

EXTERNAL TRIGGER INPUT PNP PH-1

DS2400N Vcc 9 Vdc (brown) +10-30 Vdc 18 I1A (black) NO 19 I1B 7 GND (blue) 0 V PNP PH-1 wires

If the DS2400N is used as a Code Verifier, the verifier code can be configured in software through the Genius ^™ configuration program. However it is also possible to use one of the inputs to trigger when the scanner should store a code read as the verifier code.

The Code Verifier parameter must be enabled, and the configuration parameters to allow correct Code Type reading must be saved to the scanner in order to read the verifier code.

When the selected input is activated, the next read code will be stored as the verifier code in the scanner's non-volatile (Flash) memory.

For more details see the Verifier Parameters in the "2K/4K Family Software Configuration Parameter Guide" Help file".

5.6 OUTPUTS

Two general purpose outputs are available. The following pins are present on the 25-pin connector of the scanner:

25-pin Name Function
9 Vdc	Power Source - Outputs
8 O1+	Output 1 +
22 O1-	Output 1 -
11 O2+	Output 2 +
12 O2-	Output 2 -
7 GND	Power Reference - Outputs

The meaning of the two outputs Output 1 and Output 2 can be defined by the user (No Read, Right, Wrong, etc.). Refer to the Genius™ Help On Line.

By default, Output 1 is associated with the No Read event, which activates when the code signaled by the external trigger is not decoded, and Output 2 is associated with the Complete Read event, which activates when all the selected codes are correctly decoded.

The output signals are fully programmable being determined by the configured Activation/Deactivation events, Deactivation Timeout or a combination of the two.

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 Genius™ Help On Line.

6.1 POINT-TO-POINT

In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the main serial interface. A Genius ^™ based 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 On-Line Operating mode is used, the scanner is activated by an External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

Figure 83 – Serial Interface Point-to-Point Layout

In this layout a single scanner functions as a Slave node on a Fieldbus network. The data is transmitted to the Host through an accessory Fieldbus interface board installed inside the CBX500 connection box.

Scanner configuration can be accomplished through the Auxiliary interface using the Genius ^™ configuration program or Genius ^™ based Host Mode programming.

In Local Echo communication mode, data is transmitted on the RS232 auxiliary interface independently from the Fieldbus interface selection.

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 84 – Fieldbus Interface Point-to-Point Layout

6.2 PASS-THROUGH

Pass-through mode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single external serial interface.

Each DS2400N transmits the messages received by the Auxiliary interface onto the Main interface. All messages will be passed through this chain to the host.

When On-Line Operating mode is used, the scanner is activated by an External Trigger (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 scanner in the chain for manual code reading capability.

The Main and Auxiliary ports are connected as shown in the figure below:

Figure 85 – Pass-Through Layout

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 scanner (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 DS2400N 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 On-Line Operating mode is used, the scanner is activated by an External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

The ID-NET ^™ 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 31 slaves connected together.

The slave scanners are connected together using the ID-NET ^™ interface. Every slave scanner must have a ID-NET ^™ address in the range 1-31.

The master scanner 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 scanner to the Host computer. It is not necessary to bring the External Trigger signal to all the scanners.

The main, auxiliary, and ID-NET ^™ interfaces are connected as shown in the figure below.

        ④ ID-NET™ (up to 32 devices, max network extension of 1000 m)

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

The ID-NET ^™ termination resistor switches must be set to ON only in the first and last CBX connection box.

The Master scanner can communicate to the Host as a Slave node on an Ethernet TCP/IP network. This example requires using the accessory BM2x0 Ethernet interface board installed inside the CBX500 connection box.

System configuration can be accomplished through the Auxiliary interface of the Master scanner (internal CBX500 9-pin connector) using the Genius™ configuration program or Genius™ based Host Mode programming.

Configuration can also be accomplished in Genius directly through the Ethernet network. In this case initial connection can be made using Programming Barcodes.

NOTE

The ID-NET network must be terminated inserting an ID-NET terminator into the last QL in the network. ID-NET on the QLM600 is internally terminated.

This interface is provided for backward compatibility. We recommend using the more efficient ID-NET ^™ network for Master/Slave or Multiplexer layouts.

The RS232 master/slave connection is used to collect data from several scanners to build either a multi-point or a multi-sided reading system; there can be one master and up to 9 slaves connected together.

The Slave scanners use RS232 only on the main and auxiliary serial interfaces. Each slave DS2400N transmits the messages received by the auxiliary interface onto the main interface. All messages will be passed through this chain to the Master.

The Master scanner is connected to the Host on the RS232/RS485 main serial interface.

There is a single reading phase and a single message from the master scanner to the Host computer.

Either On-Line or Serial On-Line Operating modes can be used in this layout.

When On-Line Operating mode is used, the external trigger signal is unique to the system, however it is not necessary to bring the external trigger signal to the Slave scanners.

The auxiliary serial interface of the slave scanners can be used in Local Echo communication mode to control any single scanner (visualize collected data) or to configure it using the Genius ^™ utility or Genius ^™ based Host Mode programming procedure.

Each scanner has its own reading phase independent from the others. When On-Line Operating mode is used, the scanner is activated by an External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

7 READING FEATURES

7.1 ADVANCED CODE RECONSTRUCTION (ACR-LITE)

The traditional way of barcode reading could be called “Linear Reading”. In this case, the laser beam crosses the barcode symbol from its beginning to its end as shown in the following figure:

Laser Beam

Figure 98 – Linear Reading

In Advanced Code Reconstruction mode it is no longer necessary for the laser beam to cross the label from the start to the end. With just a set of partial scans on the label (obtained using the motion of the label itself), the scanner is able to “reconstruct” the barcode. A typical set of partial scans is shown in the figure below:

Code Direction

Figure 99 – Partial Scans

None of the partial scans contains the whole label. The decoder aligns each partial scan correctly and combines them in order to obtain the entire code.

The alignment is performed by calculating the time difference from one partial scan to another using a reference code element.

ACR-Lite therefore has an intrinsic ability to increase the reading percentage of damaged codes as in the examples below:

Figure 100 – ACR-Lite Readable Codes

ACR-Lite is disabled by default but can be enabled for the following code types:

• Code 25 Interleaved

• Code 128/GS1-128

- Code 39 Family

• EAN/UPC (without ADD-Ons)

- Codabar

- Code 93

- GS1 DataBar

• GS1 DataBar Expanded

7.1.1 Important ACR-Lite Reading Conditions

• Do not use ACR-Lite for omni-directional reading stations.
• Code concatenation and ACR-Lite are not compatible and therefore cannot be enabled simultaneously.
• Stacked codes and ACR-Lite are not compatible.
• Codes shorter than 4 digits, while readable linearly, cannot be reconstructed in ACR-Lite.
• Reconstruction reading mode is not compatible with scanner Raster models.

NOTE

To maximize scanner performance in Advanced Code Reconstruction Reading applications:

• enable only the code symbologies that will actually be used in the application and disable any code symbologies that will not be used in the application
  • reconstruct only one code label at a time
• use conveyor speeds less than or equal to 1.0 m/s

7.1.2 Tilt Angle for Advanced Code Reconstruction

The most important parameter in Advanced Code Reconstruction is the value of the maximum tilt angle ( maximum) under which the code reconstruction process is still possible.

Laser Beam 0° to α max α = tilt angle

Figure 101 - Tilt Angle

The decoder will be able to read the label with a tilt angle between + max and - max as shown in the following figure:

0° OK OK - α + α Conveyor No Read No Read OK OK Laser Beam

Figure 102 – Reading Zones with α Max

NOTE

While tilt angles of 45^ can be obtained, DS2400N scanners are not designed to create omni-directional reading stations using two scanners in an X-pattern.

7.1.3 Advanced Code Reconstruction Reading Conditions

The following tables describe the minimum code height requirements (in mm) for standard ACR-Lite applications depending on the code symbology and the given reading conditions.

• ANSI Grade B minimum

Table 3

The number of scans performed on the code by the DS2400N 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

At least 5 scans during the code passage should be allowed to ensure a successful read.

7.2.1 Step-Ladder Mode

If scanning is perpendicular to the code motion direction (Figure 103), the number of effective scans performed by the reader is given by the following formula:

SN = [(LH/LS) * SS] - 2 Where: SN = number of effective scans

LH = label height (in mm)
LS = label movement speed in (mm/s)
SS = number of scans per second

DS2400N ΦCATATOGIC Direction of code movement at LS speed LH Laser beam

Figure 103 - "Step-Ladder" Scanning Mode

For example, the DS2400N (800 scans/sec.) for a 25 mm high code moving at 1250 mm/s performs:

$$ [ (2 5 / 1 2 5 0) * 8 0 0 ] - 2 = 1 4 \text { effective scans. } $$

7.2.2 Picket-Fence Mode

If scanning is parallel to the code motion, (Figure 104), the number of effective scans is given by the following formula:

SN = [((FW-LW)/LS) * SS] -2 Where: SN = number of effective scans

FW = reading field width (in mm)

LW = label width (in mm)

LS = label movement speed (in mm/s)

ss

DS2400N Laser beam FW LW FW DCAMO DCAMO

Figure 104 - "Picket-Fence" Scanning Mode

For example, for a 100 mm wide code moving in a point where the reading field is 200 mm wide at a 2000 mm/s speed, the DS2400N (800 scans per sec.), performs:

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

7.3 PERFORMANCE

The DS2400N scanner is available in different versions according to the reading performance.

Version	Max	Code	Resolution	Speed
	mm		(mils)	scans/s
02XX 0.20	(8)	600 to 1000
12XX 0.25	(10)	600 to 1000
22XX 0.35	(14)	600 to 1000

Version	Reading	Distance
02XX 75 mm (3 in) - 340 mm (13.4 in) on 0.35 mm (14 mils) codes
12XX 100 mm (3.9 in) - 440 mm (17.3 in) on 0.50 mm (20 mils) codes
22XX 190 mm (7.5 in) - 600 mm (23.6 in) on 0.50 mm (20 mils) codes

8.1 CLEANING

Clean the laser beam output window periodically for continued correct operation of the reader.

Dust, dirt, etc. on the window may alter the reading performance.

Repeat the operation frequently in particularly dirty environments.

Use soft material and alcohol to clean the window and avoid any abrasive substances.

WARNING

Clean the window of the DS2400N when the scanner is turned off or, at least, when the laser beam is deactivated.

9 TROUBLESHOOTING

9.1 GENERAL GUIDELINES

When wiring the device, pay careful attention to the signal name (acronym) on the CBX100/500 spring clamp connectors (chp. 4). If you are connecting directly to the scanner 25-pin connector pay attention to the pin number of the signals (chp 5).

If you need information about a certain reader parameter you can refer to the Genius ^™ program help files.

Either connect the device and select the parameter you're interested in by pressing the F1 key, or select Help/Parameters Help/2K_4K Software Configuration Parameters Guide from the command menu.

If you're unable to fix the problem and you're going to contact your local Datalogic office or Datalogic Partner or ARC, we suggest providing (if possible) the Device Configuration files (*.ddc). Connect through Genius™ and click the Save icon from the toolbar. Also note the exact Model, Serial Number and Order Number of the device.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

② If the reader is used in high temperature environments (over 40 °C), use of the Beam Shutter is advised (see the Genius™ configuration program) and/or a thermally conductive support (such as the metal bracket provided).
③ The Operating Temperature is guaranteed under the following conditions:

• no direct ventilation on the scanner

- fixed working environment (no rapid temperature changes)

At -35 °C, a 20 min warm-up period is required before the scanner is ready to read barcodes.

ACR-Lite (Advanced Code Reconstruction)

This is a light version of the powerful Advanced Code Reconstruction technology applied to high performance high precision scanners. ACR-Lite is effective in reading codes positioned close-to-linear, small height codes, damaged codes, or poor print quality codes. See par. 7.1.

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

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. 3.2.1 and 3.2.5. 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.

FLASH

An on-board non-volatile memory chip.

Full Duplex

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. 7.2.2.

Pitch

Rotation of a code pattern about the X-axis. The normal distance between center line or adjacent characters. See pars. 3.2.1 and 3.2.5.

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.

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. 7.2.1.

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. 3.2.1 and 3.2.5.

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.
