TYPICAL LAYOUTS 6 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.
DS2100N REFERENCE MANUAL 6 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.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 6 6.2 PASS-THROUGH Pass-through mode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single external serial interface. Each DS2100N 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.
DS2100N REFERENCE MANUAL 6 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 DS2100N transmits its own messages plus any messages received by its Auxiliary interface onto the ID-NET™ interface.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 6 6.3 ID-NET™ 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.
DS2100N REFERENCE MANUAL 6 For a Master/Slave Multidata layout each scanner has its own reading phase independent from the others; each single message is sent from the master scanner to the Host computer.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 6 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 scanner (internal CBX500 9-pin connector) using the Genius™ configuration program or Genius™ based Host Mode programming.
DS2100N REFERENCE MANUAL 6 6.4 RS232 MASTER/SLAVE This interface is provided for backward compatibility. We recommend using the more efficient ID-NET™ network for Master/Slave or Multiplexer layouts. NOTE 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.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 6 6.5 MULTIPLEXER LAYOUT This interface is provided for backward compatibility. We recommend using the more efficient ID-NET™ network for Master/Slave or Multiplexer layouts. NOTE Each scanner is connected to a Multiplexer (for example MX4000) with the RS485 halfduplex main interface through a CBX connection box.
DS2100N REFERENCE MANUAL 7 7 READING FEATURES 7.1 ADVANCED CODE BUILDER (ACB) In addition to linear reading, the Advanced Code Builder (ACB) allows code reading by “stitching” together two partial reads of it. ACB is not as powerful as Advanced Code Reconstruction due to limits on tilt angle, speed and Multi-label function; but it is effective in the case of close-to-linear, small height codes, damaged codes, or poor print quality codes.
READING FEATURES 7.1.1 7 Important ACB Reading Conditions • Do not use ACB for omni-directional reading stations. • ACB can be activated for each symbology independently from the others. • ACB requires that the code be in movement with respect to the scanner. • ACB requires fixed length barcode reading. • The codes read with ACB enabled must pass in front of the scanner one at a time.

MAINTENANCE 8 8 MAINTENANCE 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. Clean the window of the DS2100N when the scanner is turned off or, at least, when the laser beam is deactivated.
9 DS2100N REFERENCE MANUAL 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING 9 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem Power On: the “Power On”/”Ready” LED is not lit Suggestions Is power connected? If using a power adapter (like PG 6000), is it connected to a wall outlet? If using rail power, does rail have power? If using CBX100, does it have power (check switch and LED)? Measure voltage either at pin 13 and pin 25 (for 25-pin connector) or at spring clamp Vdc and GND (for CBX).
DS2100N REFERENCE MANUAL 9 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem Reading: Not possible to read the target barcode (always returns No Read) or the Auto Setup procedure Fails. Suggestions Check synchronization of reading pulse with object to read: Is the scan line correctly positioned? Place barcode in the center of scan line and run Test mode (selectable by Genius™ as an Operating Mode).

GLOSSARY ACB (Advanced Code Builder) Advanced Code Builder (ACB) allows code reading by “stitching” together two partial reads of it. ACB 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.
Full Duplex Simultaneous, two-way, independent transmission in both directions. Half Duplex Transmission in either direction, but not simultaneously. Host A computer that serves other terminals in a network, providing services such as network control, database access, special programs, supervisory programs, or programming languages. Interface A shared boundary defined by common physical interconnection characteristics, signal characteristics and meanings of interchanged signals.
RS232 Interface between data terminal equipment and data communication equipment employing serial binary data interchange. RS485 Interface that specifies the electrical characteristics of generators and receivers for use in balanced digital multipoint systems such as on a Multidrop line. Scanner A device that examines a printed pattern (barcode) and either passes the uninterpreted data to a decoder or decodes the data and passes it onto the Host system.
