    A --> D["CBX100"]
    B --> E["ID NET™"]
    C --> E
    D --> E

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

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

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

2.3.1 How To Setup/Configure the Reader Network

A complete ID-NET ^™ reader network can be easily setup through VisiSet ^™ as follows:

Mounting & Connection

1. Mechanically mount/install all the readers (refer to par. 3.2 and 3.3).

Test Mode (Function 1)

Once entered, the Bar Graph on the five LEDs is activated and if the imager starts reading codes the Bar-Graph shows the Good Read Rate. In case of a NO READ condition, only the Status LED is on and blinks.

The Bar Graph has the following meaning:

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

NOTE

By default, the Test exits automatically after three minutes.

Aim/Locate (Function 2)

This function causes the blue ring to turn on. Since the blue ring is centered on the FOV it can be used to position the imager on the code. The Aim LED blinks to indicate this state.

To exit the Aim/Locate Mode, press the X-PRESS™ push button once. The blue ring turns off.

Setup (Function 3)

Once entered, the imager automatically performs Image Acquisition parameter calibration for the specific code presented to it.

The Setup LED will blink until the procedure is completed.

The Setup procedure ends when the Image Acquisition parameters are successfully saved in the reader memory, the Setup LED will remain on continuously and Matrix 200 ^™ emits 3 high pitched beeps.

If the calibration cannot be reached after a timeout of about 5 (five) seconds Matrix 200 ^™ will exit without saving the parameters to memory, the Setup LED will not remain on continuously but it will just stop blinking. In this case Matrix 200 ^™ emits a long low pitched beep.

Learn (Function 4)

Once entered, the imager starts a procedure to automatically detect and recognize codes which are presented to it.

The Learn LED will blink until the procedure is completed.

The Learn procedure ends when the Image Processing and Decoding parameters are successfully saved in the reader memory, the Learn LED will remain on continuously and Matrix 200 ^™ emits 3 high pitched beeps.

If the calibration cannot be reached after a timeout of about 3 (three) minutes, Matrix 200 ^™ will exit without saving the parameters to memory, the Learn LED will not remain on continuously but it will just stop blinking. In this case Matrix 200 ^™ emits a long low pitched beep.

2.7 APPLICATION EXAMPLES

Matrix 200 ^™ is profitably used in the omnidirectional reading of 2D, stacked, linear and postal codes for example in automated document handling and mail processing systems (see Figure 17).

Figure 17 - Address Coded in Datamatrix Symbology for Automated Mail Processing

Matrix 200 ^™ assures the reading of deformed and / or overprinted codes, even though damaged or printed on high reflective surfaces (see Figures 18, 19, 20).

3.3 MOUNTING AND POSITIONING MATRIX 200 ^TM

Using the Matrix 200 ^™ mounting brackets you can obtain rotation on the various axes of the reader as shown in the diagrams below:

Figure 31 -90° Model with ST-337 Mounting Bracket - Internal Positioning

Figure 33 -Mounting Bracket External Positioning

Matrix 200 ^™ is able to decode code labels at a variety of angles, however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.

When mounting Matrix 200 ^™ , take into consideration these ideal label position angles: Pitch or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°.

Note: Since Matrix 200 ^™ is omni-directional on the code plane, the Pitch and Skew angles have the same significance with respect to the code plane. However in some advanced code reading applications performance can be improved by modifying the Pitch angle.

Follow the suggestions below for the best orientation:

The Pitch and Skew angles are represented by the values P and S in Figure 34 and in Figure 35. Position the reader in order to avoid the direct reflection of the light emitted by the Matrix 200 ^™ reader; it is advised to assure at least 10° for one of these angles. In some cases, such as low contrast or low illumination, it can be useful to use a Pitch or Skew angle = 0°.

Figure 34 - Pitch angle

Figure 35 - Skew angle

The Tilt angle is represented by the value T in Figure 36. Matrix 200 ^™ can read labels with any tilt angle.

Figure 36 - Tilt angle

See chp. 7 for FOV and Reading Distance considerations.

4 CBX ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

All Matrix 200 ^TM 25-pin models can be directly connected to a CBX connection box.

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 reader 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 Matrix 200 ^™ 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 reader 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 reader through the CBX100/500 spring clamp terminal pins as shown in Figure 37:

Figure 37 - Power Supply Connections

The power must be between 10 and 30 Vdc only.

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

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

The main serial interface type and its parameters (baud rate, data bits, etc.) can be defined by the user via VisiSet™ software. The RS485 half duplex is automatically set whenever MUX32 communication protocol is enabled. For more details refer to the "Communication" folder in the VisiSet™ Help On Line.

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

4.2.1 RS232 Interface

The RS232 interface can be used for Point-to-Point, Pass Through or Master/Slave connections. When it is connected to the host computer it allows both transmission of code data and reader configuration by VisiSet ^™ .

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 Main Interface Connections Using Hardware Handshaking

The RTS and CTS signals control data transmission and synchronize the connected devices.

Figure 39 - RS232 Control Signals

If the RTS/CTS handshaking protocol is enabled, the Matrix 200 ^™ 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.

CBX100/500 Function

RTX-	RS485 Receive/Transmit Data -
SGND	Signal	Ground

Figure 42 - 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 VisiSet ^™ utility or by the Host Programming Mode.

Figure 43 shows a multidrop configuration with Matrix 200 ^TM readers connected to a Multiplexer.

CAUTION

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

The following instructions are referred to Figure 45, Figure 46 and Figure 47.

- 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).

• Reader'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.

The network must be properly terminated in the first and last reader 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 RS232 auxiliary interface is available for Point-to-Point, Pass Through or Master/Slave connections. When it is connected to the host computer it allows both transmission of code data and reader configuration by VisiSet ^™ .

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 through the Communication folder of the VisiSet ^™ utility program.

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

RX Auxiliary Interface Receive Data

TX Auxiliary Interface Transmit Data

SGND Auxiliary Interface Reference

Figure 49 - 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 reader: Input 1 (External Trigger) and Input 2, a generic input:

The External Trigger can be used in One Shot Mode or in Phase Mode. Its main functions are:

• acquisition trigger in One Shot Mode
- reading phase-ON/reading phase-OFF command in Phase Mode

The main functions of the general purpose Input 2 are:

• second external trigger in Phase Mode
- match code storage command when the Match Code option is enabled

The electrical features of both inputs are:

$$ V _ {A B} = 3 0 \mathrm{Vdc} \max. $$

$$ I _ {I N} = 1 2 \mathrm{mA} (\text { reader }) + 1 2 \mathrm{mA} (\text { CBX }) \max. $$

The active state of these inputs are selected in software. Refer to the VisiSet ^™ Help On Line.

An anti-disturbance filter is implemented in software on both inputs so that the minimum pulse duration is 0.5 milliseconds. This value can be increased through the software parameter Debounce Filter, see the Digital I/O folder in the VisiSet ^™ Help On Line for further details.

These inputs are optocoupled and can be driven by both NPN and PNP type commands.

NOTE

Polarity insensitive inputs assure full functionality even if pins A and B are exchanged.

The connections are indicated in the following diagrams:

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 yellow Trigger LED (Figure 16, 5) is on when the active state of the External Trigger corresponds to ON.

4.6 OUTPUTS

Two optocoupled general purpose outputs are available. The meaning of the two outputs Output 1 and Output 2 can be defined by the user. They are typically used either to signal the data collection result or to control an external lighting system.

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

The electrical features of the two outputs are the following:

$$ V _ {C E} = 3 0 \mathrm{Vdc} \max. $$

$$ I _ {C E} = 4 0 \mathrm{mA} \text { continuous max. }; 1 3 0 \mathrm{mA} \text { pulsed max. } $$

By default, Output 1 is associated with the Partial Read and No Read events, which activates when the code(s) signaled by the external trigger are 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. Refer to the Digital I/O folder in the VisiSet™ Help On Line for further details.

5		CTS	*RX-

* Do not leave floating, see par. 5.3.2 for connection details.

In order to meet EMC requirements:

• connect the reader chassis to the plant earth ground by means of a flat copper braid shorter than 100 mm;
• for direct connections, connect the main interface cable shield to pin 1 of the 25-pin connector.

5.2 POWER SUPPLY

Power is supplied to the reader through the pins provided on the 25-pin connector (see Figure 61):

Figure 61 - Power Supply Connection

The allowed supply voltage range is 10 to 30 Vdc.

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

5.3 MAIN SERIAL INTERFACE

The signals relative to the following serial interface types are available on the 25-pin connector:

The main serial interface type and its parameters (baud rate, data bits, etc.) can be defined by the user via VisiSet™ software. The RS485 half duplex is automatically set whenever MUX32 communication protocol is enabled. For more details refer to the "Communication" folder in the VisiSet™ Help On Line.

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

5.3.1 RS232 Interface

The RS232 interface can be used for Point-to-Point, Pass Through or Master/Slave connections. When it is connected to the host computer it allows both transmission of code data and reader configuration by VisiSet ^™ .

The following pins of the 25-pin connector are used for RS232 interface connection:

Pin	Name	Function
2	TX	Transmit	Data
3	RX	Receive	Data
4	RTS Request To Send
5	CTS Clear To Send
7	GND	Ground

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

Figure 62 - RS232 Main Interface Connections Using Hardware Handshaking

The RTS and CTS signals control data transmission and synchronize the connected devices.

Figure 63 - RS232 Control Signals

If the RTS/CTS handshaking protocol is enabled, Matrix 200 ^™ activates the RTS output to indicate a message is to be transmitted. The receiving unit activates the CTS input to enable the transmission.

5.3.2 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.

The following pins of the 25-pin connector are used for RS485 full-duplex communication:

Pin	Name	Function
2 TX+	RS485	Transmit Data (+)
3 RX+	RS485	Receive Data (+)
4 TX-	RS485	Transmit Data (-)
5 RX-	RS485	Receive Data (-)
7	GND	Ground

Figure 64 - RS485 Full-duplex Connections

NOTE

For applications that do not use RX485 signals, do not leave these lines floating but connect them to GND as shown below.

Figure 65 - RS485 Full-duplex Connections using Only TX Signals

5.3.3 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 available 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 following pins of the 25-pin connector are used for RS485 half-duplex communication:

Pin	Name	Function
2	RTX+ RS485	Receive/Transmit Data (+)
4	RTX- RS485	Receive/Transmit Data (-)
7	GND	Ground

Figure 66 - 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 VisiSet ^™ utility or by the Host Programming Mode.

The figure below shows a multidrop configuration with Matrix 200 ^™ readers connected to a Multiplexer.

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

Figure 67 - Matrix 200^TM Multidrop Connection to a Multiplexer

The following instructions are referred to Figure 69, Figure 70 and Figure 71.

- 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).

• Reader'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.

The electrical features of the two outputs are the following:

$$ V _ {C E} \max = 3 0 \mathrm{Vdc} $$

$$ I \max = 4 0 \mathrm{mA} \text { continuous }; 1 3 0 \mathrm{mA} \text { pulsed } $$

By default, Output 1 is associated with the Partial Read and No Read events, which activates when the code(s) signaled by the external trigger are 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. Refer to the Digital I/O folder in the VisiSet™ Help On Line for further details.

6 TYPICAL LAYOUTS

The following typical layouts refer to system hardware configurations. However, they also require the correct setup of the software configuration parameters. Dotted lines in the figures refer to optional hardware configurations within the particular layout.

6.1 POINT-TO-POINT

In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the main serial interface. The RS232 auxiliary interface can be used for reader configuration by connecting a laptop computer running VisiSet ^™ . 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 One Shot or Phase Mode operating mode is used, the reader can be activated by an External Trigger (for example a pulse from a photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

Figure 85 – 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.

Reader configuration can be accomplished through the Auxiliary interface using the VisiSet ^™ configuration program or Host Mode programming.

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

When One Shot or Phase Mode operating mode is used, the reader can be activated by an External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

Figure 86 – 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 reader transmits the messages received by the Auxiliary interface onto the Main interface. All messages will be passed through this chain to the host.

When One Shot or Phase Mode operating mode is used, the reader can be activated by an External Trigger (for example a pulse from a 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 reader in the chain for manual code reading capability.

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

6.3 ID-NET™

The ID-NET ^™ connection is used to collect data from several readers 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 readers are connected together using the ID-NET ^™ interface. Every slave reader must have an ID-NET ^™ address in the range 1-31.

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

In the Master/Slave Synchronized layout the Master operating mode can only be set to Phase Mode.

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

    J["ID-NET™ (up to 32 devices, max network extension of 1000 m)"] --> K["Computer"]

The auxiliary serial interface of the slave readers can be used in Local Echo communication mode to control any single reader (visualize collected data) or to configure it using the VisiSet™ utility.

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

Alternatively, the Master scanner can communicate to the Host as a Slave node on a Fieldbus network. This requires using an accessory Fieldbus interface board installed inside the CBX500 connection box.

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

    E --> H["ID-NET™ (up to 16 devices - practical limit)"]

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 readers 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 readers use RS232 only on the main and auxiliary serial interfaces. Each slave reader 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 reader 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 reader to the Host computer.

In this layout the Master operating mode can be set only to Phase Mode.

The Phase ON/OFF signals must be brought only to the Master. It is not necessary to bring them to the Slave readers.

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

6.5 MULTIPLEXER

NOTE

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

Each reader is connected to a Multiplexer (for example MX4000) with the RS485 half-duplex main interface through a CBX connection box.

Before proceeding with the connection it is necessary to select the MUX32 communication protocol and the multidrop address for each reader.

Figure 93 - Multiplexer Layout

The auxiliary serial interface of the slave readers can be used in Local Echo communication mode to control any single reader (visualize collected data) or to configure it using the VisiSet™ utility.

Each reader has its own reading phase independent from the others. When One Shot or Phase Mode operating mode is used, the reader can be activated by an External Trigger (for example a pulse from a photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

6.6 USB CONNECTION (MATRIX 200 XXX-X2X MODELS ONLY)

For Matrix 200 XXX-020 models, the USB connection is possible in two different layouts. The default baud rate is 115200. To maximize data transfer you can set it up to 921600 by configuring the reader though the Communication parameters via VisiSet™. For further details, see the Communication Folder in the VisiSet™ Help On Line.

In a Point-to-Point layout the reader is connected to a local host through its USB cable. No external power supply is necessary.

(1) @ Focus Distance
(2) Pixels per inch @ Focus Distance
(3) Measurement Conditions:

• Test Chart: provided with the reader

• Still code at the center of the FOV

• Code Symbology: Data Matrix ECC 200

- Tilt Angle: 45^

- Skew Angle: 15^

• Image Processing Mode: Advanced Code Setting

- Module Size (mils) equal to the resolution of the code to read

• Image Processing Self Tuning enabled

• Image Processing Self Tuning Mode = Code Contrast Levels Only *

* This parameter setting increases the image processing time.

All distances indicated from the reading window to the code surface are the same for 90^ models.

Depending on the code resolution, symbology and number of characters in the code, the Reading Area can be different from the FOV.

7.1 MAXIMUM LINE SPEED CALCULATION

The Exposure Time (or Shutter) parameter defines the time during which the image will be exposed to the reader sensor to be acquired. This parameter depends heavily on the environmental conditions (external lighting, image contrast etc.).

In general, a longer time corresponds to a lighter image but is susceptible to blurring due to the code movement; a shorter exposure time corresponds to a darker image.

NOTE

The following considerations must be applied only when the internal lighting system and 2D codes are used. The Maximum line speed allowed for linear codes or postal code reading applications heavily depends on the direction of symbol movement. When the direction of movement is parallel to the elements of the code, the maximum speed is greater.

Assuming:

• X: Code Resolution (mm)
• Texp: Exposure Time (s)
• LS: Line Speed (mm/s)

The essential condition to avoid blurring effects between two adjacent elements in a dynamic reading application is:

$$ \mathrm{LS} \times \text { Texp } \leq X $$

The maximum (theoretical) line speed (LS) can be calculated as follows:

$$ X / \text { Texp (min) } = L S (\max) $$

Texp (min) is the minimum Exposure Time value obtainable for the specific application. It can be evaluated in static reading conditions and may depend on code printing quality, reader position, etc.

Using the formulas previously explained it is possible to calculate the theoretical maximum line (target) speed expected for the application, based on the maximum code resolution and the minimum suitable Exposure Time value.

The minimum Exposure Time value depends on the Matrix reader model selected for the application (reading distance) and on external lighting.

The Internal Lighting Mode parameter allows to set the operating mode of the internal lighting system. The possible values are:

• Disabled: the built-in lighting system is turned off all the time. This option can be useful only if external lighting is sufficient;
• Always ON: the built-in lighting system is turned on all the time at the lowest power level. This option is useful if the lighting system blinking (Strobed operating mode) disturbs the operator.
• Very High/High/Medium/Low-Power Strobed: the built-in lighting system is on only during the image exposure time. Four different lighting levels can be set.

To avoid LED array overheating, for Power Strobed settings, the program automatically limits the range of allowed values for the Exposure Time parameter. Therefore, after changes to Internal Lighting Mode, recheck Exposure Time.

CAUTION:

The maximum target speed in the application is affected by these conditions:

• Code/Background Contrast: maximum speed decreases when decreasing image contrast (poor quality codes, reflective transparent coverings, different supports and printing techniques).
• Code Resolution: maximum speed increases when decreasing code resolution (there is a decrement of overlapping effects between two adjacent elements).
• Tilt Angle: maximum speed decreases when increasing Tilt angle (from 0 to 45 degrees).

8 SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION

Software configuration of your Matrix 200 ^™ for static reading or simple code reading applications can be accomplished by the Rapid Configuration procedure using the X-PRESS ^™ HMI (which requires no external configuration program) or by using the VisiSet ^™ Autolearning Wizard for easy setup. These procedures are described in chapter 1.

For all other applications use VisiSet ^™ through the reader serial ports.

8.1 VISISET™ SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

To install and run VisiSet ^™ you should have a Laptop or PC that meets or exceeds the following:

• Pentium processor
  • Win 98/2000, NT 4.0, XP or Vista
• 32 MB Ram
• 5 MB free HD space
  • one free RS232 serial port with 115 Kbaud
• SVGA board (800x600) or better using more than 256 colors

8.2 INSTALLING VISISET™

To install VisiSet ^TM , proceed as follows:

1. Turn on the Laptop or PC that will be used for configuration (connected to the Matrix 200 ^TM communication ports).
2. After Windows finishes booting, insert the CD-ROM provided.
3. Launch VisiSet™ installation by clicking Install.
4. Follow the instructions in the installation procedure.

8.3 STARTUP

After completing the mechanical and electrical connections to Matrix 200 ^™ , you can begin software configuration as follows:

1. Power on the Matrix 200 ^™ reader. Wait for the reader startup. The system bootstrap requires a few seconds to be completed. The reader automatically enters Run Mode.
2. Run the VisiSet ^TM program.
3. Press Connect on the VisiSet™ menu bar. The PC will automatically connect to the Matrix 200™ reader.

Upon connection, Matrix 200 ^™ exits Run Mode and displays the Main Menu on VisiSet ^™ with all the commands necessary to monitor your reader's performance. You can select these commands using the mouse or by pressing the key corresponding to the letter shown on the button. See Figure 96.

Figure 96 - Main Window

8.3.1 VisiSet™ Options

The Options item from the VisiSet™ menu (see Figure 96) presents a window allowing you to configure:

• the logging function (Log)
• VisiSet™ window properties (Environment)
• VisiSet™ communication channel (Communication)

Figure 97 - Options - Log

Figure 98 - Options - Environment

Figure 99 - Options – Communication

8.4 CONFIGURATION

Once connected to Matrix 200 ^™ as described in par. 8.3, you can modify the configuration parameters as follows:

1. Press the Calibration Tool button from the Main Menu. Matrix 200 ^™ will download its permanent memory configuration parameters with the default values (if it is the first time) to VisiSet ^™ . The Calibration Tool window will be displayed together with the Parameter Setup window working in Interactive Mode (see par. 8.4.1 and par. 8.4.3).
2. Edit the Matrix 200 ^™ configuration parameters according to your application requirements.
3. Use the Calibration Tool to fine tune the reading performance. See par. 8.4.3.
4. Close the Calibration Tool window and disable the Interactive Mode by pressing the interactive button.
5. Save the new configuration to the reader permanent memory by pressing the Send button.
6. Close the Parameter Setup window and press Disconnect on the VisiSet™ menu bar (see Figure 96) or launch Run Mode from the VisiSet™ Main menu.

Disconnect exits closing communication between Matrix 200 ^TM and VisiSet ^TM , and causes Matrix 200 ^TM to enter Run Mode. The disconnected reader serial port is now available.

Run command does not close communication between Matrix 200 ^TM and VisiSet ^TM , and causes Matrix 200 ^TM to enter Run Mode. In this case the reader output messages are displayed on the VisiSet ^TM terminal and the statistics are displayed in the Statistics window (Statistics enabled).

8.4.1 Edit Reader Parameters

The Parameter Setup window displays the configuration parameters grouped in a series of folders. Each parameter can be modified by selecting a different item from the prescribed list in the box, or by typing new values directly into the parameter box.

By right clicking the mouse when positioned over the name of a specific Parameter or Group, a pop-up menu appears allowing you to directly manage that particular parameter or group.

You can View the Selected Value for each parameter.

You can Restore the Default Value of each parameter or of all the parameters of a group.

Get Properties gives information about the parameter in the form of a pop-up hint that describes the default value and the range/list of valid values.

The Short Help gives information about the parameter in the form of a pop-up hint.

Figure 100 - Editing Parameters

Parameters to verify/modify:

☐ Operating Mode Sets the	parameters which customize the reader operating mode starting from three main modes:One Shot: acquires a single image based on the selected value for the Acquisition Trigger and Acquisition Trigger Delay.Continuous: continuously acquires images with a rate up to the maximum allowable frame rate per second for the given sensor depending on the decoding time and the Region of Interest settings.Phase Mode: acquires images during the reading phase depending on the selected value for the Acquisition Trigger and Acquisition Trigger Delay.

When all the configuration parameters are set correctly, save them to the Matrix 200 ^™ reader by pressing the Send button. See Figure 100.

For successive configuration of other readers or for backup/archive copies, it is possible to save the configuration onto your PC by selecting the Save Configuration File option from the File menu.

From the File menu, you can also Save Configuration As Text File for a human readable version.

Load Configuration File (available in the File menu) allows you to configure a reader from a previously saved configuration file (.ini).

8.4.2 Send Configuration Options

The device parameters are divided into two main classes, Configuration and Environmental which are effected differently by the Send Configuration and Send Default Configuration commands.

Configuration Parameters regard parameters that are specific to the device. These parameters are influenced by the Send Configuration and Send Default Configuration commands, that is they are overwritten by these commands. The same parameters are modified by the following "Send Configuration with Options" and "Send Default Configuration with Options" dialogs from the Device Menu:

Environmental Parameters regard the device Identity and Position in a Network (ID-NET ^™ , Master/Slave RS232, MUX 32) and are not influenced by the "Send Default Configuration" and "Send Configuration" commands. This allows individual devices to be configured differently without affecting their recognized position in the network.

The following is a list of the Environmental Parameters:

READING SYSTEM LAYOUT

• Device Network Setting
• Number of Slaves

DEVICE NETWORK SETTINGS

• Topology Role
• ID-NET Slave Address
• Network Baud Rate

EXPECTED SLAVE DEVICES

• Status
• Device Description
• Device Network Name

MAIN PORT

• Communication Protocol
• Multidrop Address

MISCELLANEOUS

• Reader Name
• User Name
• Line Name

For device replacement it is necessary to send the previously saved configuration (both Configuration and Environmental parameters) to the new device. To do this select "Send Configuration with Options" from the Device Menu and check the Environmental Parameters checkbox:

In order to return a device to its absolute default parameters including Environmental parameters, the following Send Default Configuration with Options" dialog must be used:

8.4.3 Calibration

VisiSet™ provides a Calibration Tool to maximize the reading performance by tuning the acquisition parameters and the time of the delayed triggers.

By selecting the Calibration Tool from the VisiSet™ Main Menu (F), the following window appears together with the Parameter Setup window:

Figure 101 - Calibration OK

This tool provides a "real-time" image display while Matrix 200 ^TM is reading. It also gives immediate results on the performance of the installed Matrix 200 ^TM reader.

The Parameter Setup window works in Interactive Mode in order to cause each parameter setting to be immediately effective.

NOTE

If you want to save the temporary configuration to permanent memory, you must first close the Calibration Tool window. Then, you must disable the Interactive Mode and select the Permanent Memory option from the Send Configuration item in the Device menu.

The following examples show some of the typical conditions occurring during the installation:

Under-exposure:

To correct this result it is recommended to change the following parameters in their order of appearance:

1. increase the Exposure Time
2. increase theGain

NOTE

In general, a longer exposure time corresponds to a lighter image but is susceptible to blurring due to code movement. Exposure time is also limited by the Internal Lighting mode parameter. Longer exposure times can be set if the power strobe level is lowered.

High gain settings may produce a grainy image that may affect the decoding process.

Figure 102 - Example Under Exposure: Too Dark

Over-exposure:

To correct this result it is recommended to change the following parameters in their order of appearance:

1. decrease theGain
2. decrease the Exposure Time

Figure 103 - Example Over Exposure: Too Light

Moving code out of the Field of View:

To correct this result and have the code completely visible in F.O.V., it is possible to follow one or both the procedures listed below:

• reposition the reader
• use the Acquisition Trigger Delay by tuning the Delay Time (x100μs)

Figure 104 - Example out of FOV

8.4.4 Multi Image Acquisition Settings

When controlled variable conditions occur in the application, Multiple Image Acquisition Settings (up to 10), can be defined to create a database of parameter groups that handle each specific application condition. This database of pre-defined settings functions cyclically and therefore automatically improves system flexibility and readiness.

For example, an application may have two stable but different lighting conditions which require different lighting options. One Image Acquisition Setting could enable and use the internal illuminator and a second setting could disable Internal Lighting to use external lighting. These two groups will be used cyclically on each acquisition in order to automatically capture the correctly lighted image.

Image Acquisition Settings are found in the VisiSet™ Calibration parameter setup menu. By selecting a different number and enabling its Status you can define the parameters for a new group.

8.4.5 Run Time Self Tuning (RTST)

Run Time Self-Tuning (RTST) increases Matrix's flexibility in the presence of uncontrolled variable conditions (lighting, code contrast, etc.) by automatically adjusting its acquisition parameters.

Self Tuning Calibration

In the Calibration parameter setup menu, the Self Tuning parameters manage the Image Acquisition Setting parameters dynamically. Self Tuning provides automatic adjustment in run time of different acquisition parameters (Exposure Time and/or Gain) for each captured image based on calculations performed on previous acquisitions. These dynamic settings will be used instead of the static settings saved in memory.

For more details see the Matrix 200 ^™ Help On-Line.

Self Tuning Image Processing

In the Image Processing parameter setup menu, the Self Tuning parameters manage the Image Processing and Symbology related parameters. They perform different processing attempts on the same captured image according to the selected Self Tuning Mode parameter value: (Symbologies Only, Processing Modes Only, Decoding Methods Only, Code Contrast Levels Only, Image Mirroring Only, or General Purpose).

For more details see the Matrix 200 ^™ Help On-Line.

8.4.6 Region Of Interest Windowing

In order to satisfy very high throughput applications, higher frame rates can be achieved using the powerful Region Of Interest Windowing parameters in the Calibration parameter setup menu.

Region Of Interest Windowing allows defining a region or window within the reader FOV. The Top, Bottom, Left and Right parameters allow to precisely define the image window to be processed, visualized and saved.

In Matrix 200 ^™ the frame rate is dependent on the number of rows and columns in the defined window.

The smaller the window, the lower the frame period and consequently the higher the frame rate. In general the Image Processing time can be reduced by reducing the window dimensions.

8.4.7 Direct Part Marking Applications

Decoding Method: Direct Marking

For DataMatrix and QR code the Decoding Method parameter selects the decoding algorithm according to the printing/marking technique used to create the symbol and on the overall printing/marking quality. The Direct Marking selection improves the decode rate for low quality Direct Part Mark codes and in general for Direct Part Mark codes with dot peening type module shapes.
