INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 1 INTRODUCTION PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The C-BOX 150 is a connection box which can be used as an accessory to several Datalogic family scanners. Its main feature is to make the substitution of a Datalogic scanner in an installation plain and easy. To achieve this goal the C-BOX 150 provides the GET command to pass the connected scanner’s configuration to the C-BOX 150 non volatile memory.
C-BOX 150 1 1.2 C-BOX 150 COMPATIBLE DEVICES The C-BOX 150 can be connected to the following scanners through the 25-pin connector illustrated in Figure A.
INSTALLATION 2 2 INSTALLATION 2.
C-BOX 150 2 2.2 OPENING THE DEVICE To install the C-BOX 150 or during normal maintenance, it is necessary to open it by unscrewing the four cover screws: The C-BOX 150 must be disconnected from the power supply during this operation. CAUTION Figure 2 - Opening the C-BOX 150 It is possible to perform the following operations: • Proceed with the cable connections (see paragraph 2.4.2). • Mount the C-BOX 150 to a wall or panel.
INSTALLATION 2.3 2 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 12 [0.47] The diagram below gives the overall dimensions of the C-BOX 150 and may be used for its installation. 5 [0.20] 89.8 [3.54] 40 [1.57] 150 [5.91] 114.5 [4.51] 161 [6.34] 90 [3.54] 5 [0.20] 12 [0.47] 66 [2.60] Ø3.5 [Ø0.
C-BOX 150 2 C-BOX 150 can be installed to operate in different positions. The two screw holes inside the housing of the C-BOX 150 are for mechanical fixture (Figure 4). To mount the C-BOX 150: 1) Open the C-BOX 150 by unscrewing the 4 cover screws. If necessary, using the two mounting holes inside the device as a pattern, mark the panel with an appropriate object and then drill two holes in the panel. 2) Align the C-BOX 150 and insert two screws and screw them into the panel until tight (see Figure 4).
INSTALLATION 2.4 2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND HARDWARE SETUP The following figure shows the typical layout. C-BOX 150 SCANNER SCANNER AUXILIARY INTERFACE SCANNER CONFIGURATION PC SYSTEM CABLES Figure 5 – System Layout A PC can be connected to the C-BOX 150 (and consequently to the scanner auxiliary interface) through the internal 9-pin connector. This allows both scanner configuration and monitoring of the data transmitted by the scanner (see the scanner Reference Manual for more details).
C-BOX 150 2 After system functioning has been verified, close the C-BOX 150 using the 4 cover screws making sure the rubber seal is fitted correctly between the parts of the housing. NOTE 2.4.1 It is recommended to use the dedicated grounding cable (included in the package) to improve the C-BOX 150 noise immunity. Simply connect its open end to the scanner cable’s fixing screw and the other end to the ground, as shown in the figure below.
INSTALLATION 2 USER INTERFACE C-BOX 1 VS 2 GND V+ (10 - 30 Vdc) GND Figure 7 - Power Supply Connections The power supply must be between 10 and 30 Vdc only. Pin 1 is also electrically connected to pins 3 and 5, just as pin 2 is electrically connected to pins 4 and 6. This is useful for external trigger/inputs connections. NOTE The C-BOX 150 is protected against polarity reversal. A dedicated red LED signals this condition until correct polarity is restored. NOTE 2.4.
C-BOX 150 2 • Using a device such as a screwdriver, push down on the lever directly next to the clamp (see Figure 8). • Insert the wire into the clamp and release the lever. The wire will now be held in the spring clamp. Figure 8 - System Cable Connections The wiring used can be solid or stranded but must meet the following specifications. All positions: 10 24 - 16 AWG 0.2 - 1.
INSTALLATION 2 The C-BOX 150 spring clamp connector pinouts are indicated in the following table. Refer to the scanner Reference Manual for details.
C-BOX 150 2 2.4.3 Scanner Chassis Grounding Jumper Settings The scanner chassis grounding method can be selected by positioning a jumper (see Figure 9). In this way the scanner chassis can be connected to earth ground (only if pins 7 or 8 are connected to a good earth ground) or to the power supply ground signal. The scanner chassis can also be left floating but, in this case, the jumper must be removed. to EARTH GROUND (default) to GND floating Figure 9 – Chassis Grounding 2.4.
INSTALLATION 2.4.5 2 RS485 Bus Termination ON OFF Figure 11 - Termination Resistance Switch This switch enables or disables the insertion of the bus termination resistor for RS485 Half Duplex Multidrop applications. CAUTION 2.4.6 In Multiplexer applications the termination resistor must be enabled ONLY on the last device of the chain, the farthest away from the Multiplexer (assuming the Multiplexer is the first device of the chain).
C-BOX 150 2 2.4.7 OM4000 Jumper Settings J5 J6 Figure 13 - OM4000 Jumpers The jumpers allow connection to the EXT TRIG signals on separate spring clamp terminals for applications which use the OM4000 Oscillating Mirror in Trigger Mode. They are used together and they have the following significance: when a jumper is in the J5 position (see Figure above) pin 40 is connected to pin 27 (EXT TRIG+); a jumper in J6 position connects pin 20 to pin 28 (EXT TRIG-).
INSTALLATION 2 9-pin C-Box 150 connector pinout in Normal mode Pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Name RXA TXA GND RESERVED RESERVED POSITION Function NC Auxiliary RS232 Auxiliary RS232 NC Ground NC Device Dependent Signal Device Dependent Signal NC MODE CFG: When the switch is in this position, the C-BOX 150 can be configured. The communication with the scanner is interrupted and pins 2 and 3 are no longer dedicated to the scanner auxiliary interface but to the C-BOX 150 configuration (see table below).
C-BOX 150 2 2.5 OPERATING MODES With the C-BOX 150, the following operating modes are possible: Normal Operation: At power on, the C-BOX 150 tries to connect to the scanner. Once the connection procedure is completed the C-BOX 150 verifies if an Automatic SEND command must be executed. While executing the command, the serial Auxiliary interface is not available for the user. After the command completion, the warning LED will turn OFF and the Aux interface will become free for communication.
INSTALLATION 2 2. Release the buttons. 3. Press the left button corresponding to the GET function, the center button corresponding to the TEST function or the right button corresponding to the SEND function. NOTE Once the buttons are released in step 1, a ten-second timeout starts. If no button is pressed within this time (no function is selected), the procedure will be cancelled. The C-Box 150 warning LED will turn OFF at the end of each procedure.
C-BOX 150 2 2.5.2 LED Indicators Power polarity error (red) Power on (green) Warning (red) Status (yellow) TX (green) Figure 16 - LED Indicators The internal LEDs of the C-BOX 150 (see Figure above) indicate the following: POWER ON (PWR) (green) indicates the C-BOX 150 is connected to the power supply and the power switch is ON. POWER POLARITY ERROR (red) indicates a wrong polarity. While activated, all other LEDs will be off until the power feed is connected with correct polarity.
INSTALLATION 2 1 blinking/sec: a requested operation has been terminated abnormally. 2 blinking/sec: a wrong operation has been requested (for example the configuration in memory is not compatible with the connected scanner). STATUS (SL) (yellow) indicates the status of the non-volatile memory support. Off: the memory is empty (no configuration on board). 1 blinking/sec: the memory is not empty (a Get scanner configuration service has been executed)*.
C-BOX 150 2 2.6 2.6.1 TYPICAL LAYOUTS 1000, 2000, 4000 Scanners For 1000, 2000, 4000 Scanner Families, the C-BOX 150 can operate in point-to-point single scanner configuration layouts.
INSTALLATION 2.6.2 2 6000, 8000 Scanners For the 6k/8k scanner Families, the C-BOX 150 can operate in both point-to-point single scanner configuration layouts and in a whole cluster of scanners in Master/Slave layouts.
