INSTALLATION 2 The FBK-8100 is a fast bracket kit allowing quick and easy mounting of the scanner on the ST-163 bracket. It is particularly useful when performing a scanner automatic replacement (see par. 5.2), since the scanner can be simply substituted with a new one while maintaining its physical position within the network. First, it is necessary to fix the FBK-8100 round piece (2) to the ST-163 bracket (already mounted to the reading station frame) by means of the two screws (C).
DS8100A 2 2.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS All the connectors available for each scanner model are the following: Scanner Model Standard Ethernet Connectors 26-pin male serial interface and I/O connector 17-pin male Lonworks connector* 17-pin female Lonworks connector* 26-pin male serial interface and I/O connector 17-pin male Lonworks connector* 17-pin female Lonworks connector* RJ45 Industrial modular connector The table below gives the pinout of the C-BOX 100 terminal block connectors.
INSTALLATION 2.3.1 2 Main/Aux. Serial Interface and I/O Connector The DS8100A Standard and Fieldbus models are equipped with a 26-pin male D-sub connector for connection to the host computer, power supply and input/output signals.
DS8100A 2 Main Interface The main serial interface is compatible with the following electrical standards: RS232 RS485 full-duplex RS485 half-duplex (20 mA current loop) The 20 mA Current Loop interface is available by using the C-BOX 100 with the optional INT-30 accessory installed in it. The scanner communicates to the C-BOX 100 through the RS232 interface and the INT-30 converts the signals. The main serial interface type and its relative parameters (baud rate, data bits, etc.
INSTALLATION 2 RS485 Full-Duplex Interface The RS485 full-duplex interface is used for non-polled communication protocols in point-to-point connections over longer distances than those acceptable for RS232 communications or in electrically noisy environments. The overall maximum cable length should not exceed 1200 m (3937 ft).
DS8100A 2 Auxiliary Interface The auxiliary serial interface is equipped with RS232 full-duplex interface connections. The interface type is exclusive and is selectable through the Genius™ configuration program. The overall maximum cable length should not exceed 15 m (50 ft).
INSTALLATION 2 All inputs are optocoupled, polarity insensitive, and driven by a constant current generator; the command signal is filtered through an anti-disturbance circuit which generates a delay which can be set to 5 ms or 500 µs. In particular, EXT_TRIG/PS, IN3 and IN4 share the same value which usually corresponds to 5 ms when using a photoelectric sensor, while IN2/ENC has a different value which is set to 500 µs when this input is used for the Encoder.

INSTALLATION 2 Network Termination When building a Lonworks system the network must be properly terminated by positioning the BTK-8102 Lonworks terminator in the DS8100A master reader and the BTK-8100 Lonworks bus return in the last DS8100A slave reader.
DS8100A 2 Lonworks Interface The Lonworks network is used for both input and output connection to build a multi-sided or omni-station system connecting several readers. The DS8100A master usually employs the 17-pin female connector for output connection to the first slave, while the 17-pin male connector is terminated by inserting the BTK8102 terminator (see Figure 23 for details). Both connectors are always employed when connecting together the slave readers.
INSTALLATION 2 The following diagrams represent different network terminations using either the BTK-8102 Lonworks terminator or the BTK-8100 bus return. In Figure 27 the BTK-8102 terminator is indicated by the element, while the figure below shows its electrical circuit in details: Figure 26 – BTK-8102 Electrical Circuit The diagram below represents the termination of the double Lonworks line of a DS8100A working as master by means of the BTK-8102.
DS8100A 2 2.3.3 Ethernet Connector This connector is only available for DS8100A Ethernet models and allows the Ethernet connection between the host and the reader.

For code reconstruction see par. 4.1.
2 DS8100A 2.6 TYPICAL LAYOUTS The DS8100A scanners can be connected in a variety of layouts depending on the number of scanners used and the required complexity of the reading station. These layouts range from Single Stand Alone to Complex Lonworks Networks. Several power supplies are available to power the reading stations. Photoelectric sensors used as code presence sensors and optical encoders to signal conveyor speed are also available accessories.
INSTALLATION 2.6.1 2 Point-to-Point Using a Point-to-Point layout, the data is transmitted on the Main interface as well as on the Auxiliary interface. The Main interface can be selected for RS232 or RS485 full-duplex communications. Two different layouts are available according to the DS8100A reader model used for the connection. Standard Models When On-Line operating mode is used, the reader is activated by an External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.
DS8100A 2 2.6.2 Pass Through When Pass Through is activated on the Auxiliary interface, the DS8100A reader can be integrated in a network consisting of different scanners not provided with a Lonworks interface. This connection mode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single external serial interface. The DS8100A transmits the messages received by its auxiliary interface onto its main interface.

DS8100A 2 2.6.5 Local Lonworks Network A local Lonworks network allows logically connecting a DS8100A master reader with up to 31 DS8100A slaves. Actually, the maximum number of readers to be employed in the network depends on the system operating conditions, that is adopted operating mode and amount of data stream.
INSTALLATION 2 Small Synchronized Network When building a small local Lonworks network (less than 10 scanners), the DS8100A master reader must be connected to a local host computer or a C-BOX 100 by means of a cable connected to the 26-pin D-sub male connector. The master reader connects to the first slave reader of the system through the local Lonworks 17-pin female connector.
DS8100A 2 The following image shows a system consisting of five readers where the external signals (trigger, encoder, serial to host, etc.) are connected to the master through the C-BOX 100. The system is powered by the PWR-240 where: • the master is connected through CAB-860X, which also provides bus termination • the last slave is connected through CAB-830X, which also provides bus return.
INSTALLATION 2 Large Synchronized Network When building a large local Lonworks network (more than 10 scanners), an SC6000 Controller must be used together with a PWO power supply/junction box unit. In this case the SC6000 unit acts as the system master and is connected to the host through one of its interfaces. All scanners act as slaves and are connected to the SC6000 through the PWO power supply/junction box.
DS8100A 2 SC6000 Conveyor Figure 47 – Large Synchronized Network Reading Station 36
INSTALLATION 2 Redundant System For large local Lonworks networks, a redundant system can per configured in which two SC6000 Controllers are used together with their respective PWO power supply/junction box units. The scanners are distributed equally between the PWO units. In this case one of the SC6000 Controllers is dedicated as the working or active unit while the other functions as a dedicated protecting or backup unit.
DS8100A 2 Multidata Network In this layout, one master and up to 7 DS8100A slave readers have their own P.S. and therefore multiple reading phases. Each P.S. is connected through a C-BOX 100, which in turn is connected to its relative scanner through a CAB-601X cable. The master sends all the individual messages collected from the Lonworks interface as well as its own to the Local Host through its C-BOX 100.
INSTALLATION 2.6.6 2 Fieldbus Network The Fieldbus (Ethernet) model offers connectivity without any converter or adapter needed. The DS8100A master Fieldbus communicates with a remote host (for ex. remote PC connected via Internet) by means of a cable connected to the Fieldbus (Ethernet) connector provided. It can be activated by a signal generated by the remote Host or by a physical presence sensor. The external signals (trigger, encoder) are connected to the master through the C-BOX 100.

SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 3 3 SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 3.1 GENIUS™ INSTALLATION Genius™ is a new Datalogic scanner configuration tool providing several important advantages: • Wizard approach for low skilled 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.
DS8100A 3 After defining the parameter values the following window appears allowing to complete the reader configuration as follows: - Saving the configuration to disk; - Switching to Advanced mode; - Sending the configuration to the scanner. Figure 52 - Genius™ Wizard Closing Window Test Operating Mode This operating mode is not available when DS8100A works as slave.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 3 On Line Operating Mode Figure 54 - On Line Mode Selection This operating mode causes the reader to be connected to an external Presence Sensor using EXT TRIG/PS A and EXT TRIG/PS B inputs. During the active phase of the presence sensor, the DS8100A reader tries to acquire and correctly decode the code. In case the decoding phase is successful, the barcode characters are transmitted on the serial interface. Otherwise, a no read message is sent.
DS8100A 3 3.2.2 Genius™ Network Setup Through Master The Network Setup allows configuring your Local Lonworks Network through the Master using Genius™. Three different procedures are available to define the number of network slave scanners, their label and address according to two main conditions: Condition Available Procedure Feature Unknown Slave Addresses Net-Autoset automatically assigns random addresses to slave or Stand Alone scanners.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 3 The following dialog box appears asking whether to send the configuration to the Master or not: icon available on the Toolbar to make the 2. Click the "Yes" button, then click on the “Devices” area appear next to the Parameter Explorer window. By repeatedly clicking the icon this area will be displayed or hidden.
DS8100A 3 3. Then, proceed with the network setup by using one of the icons available on the Tool Bar according to the procedure to follow: = Net-Autoset procedure = Network Wizard procedure = Express Network Setup procedure Net-Autoset This procedure is to be used when all scanner addresses and labels are unknown (typically when configuring the network for the first time or whenever a network reconfiguration is required).
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 3 Network Wizard Before performing this procedure, a Lonworks address must be assigned to each slave scanner. The most practical method is through the Net-Autoset procedure. See par. 3.2.3 for alternative address assignment methods. Once all addresses have been assigned, the Network Wizard is to be used when one or more scanner addresses and labels need to be modified. 1. Click on the button to open the Network Wizard dialog box: a.
DS8100A 3 2. If desired, select a slave scanner within the "Current Devices" area and click on the icon (or select the "Show Device" option from the right-click menu) to make the dialog box appear as follows: • • The "Show Device" option is particularly useful after the Net-Autoset procedure or whenever it is necessary to know which address is assigned to a specific slave scanner.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 3.2.3 3 Alternative Slave Address Assignment As alternatives to Network Setup through the Master, each Slave scanner can be assigned an address through the following methods: • address setting through the Local Device Network Settings item in the Device Menu with the slave scanner connected to Genius™ • manual address setting through slave scanner keyboard (see par. 2.7.1 for details) 3.
DS8100A 3 3.4 PARAMETER DEFAULT VALUES The following table contains the list of the factory default settings for the DS8100A. Genius™ also allows checking the parameter default values by selecting the "Compare parameters" option available in the Tools menu and comparing the current scanner configuration to the default one.

READING FEATURES 4 All PackTrack™ functionalities are programmed via the Genius™ tool (refer to the Genius™ Help On-Line for details). For correct functioning, the PackTrack™ operating mode requires a calibration just after the installation of the scanners. This operation is absolutely necessary to make the scanner recognize its position in space. Thus, a fixed reference system is required.
DS8100A 4 4.2.1 PackTrack™ Calibration for DS8100A By means of the Genius™ software tool SPY, the user can perform PackTrack™ calibration. Select the “SPY” option from the Tools menu or click on the related icon on the Genius™ toolbar to open the following dialog box: Note: When selecting a slave scanner through the Master, click on the slave to calibrate in the Devices window, then click the SPY icon.
READING FEATURES 4 By selecting the “PackTrack Calibration” option a further dialog box appears allowing to start calibration: Position 1 Position 2 Position 3 Figure 67 – Performing the PackTrack™ Calibration 1.
