CBX ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 4 4.7 ON-BOARD ETHERNET INTERFACE The on-board Ethernet Interface can be used for TCP/IP communication with a remote or local host computer by connecting the reader to either a LAN or directly to a host PC. There is no need to use a crossover adapter since Matrix 300™ incorporates an auto-cross function. A CAB-ETH-M0x cable can be used to connect to a LAN.
MATRIX 300™ REFERENCE MANUAL 5 5 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. 5.1 POINT-TO-POINT In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the main serial interface.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 5 In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the TCP/IP Ethernet interface (CBX500 with BM200/210 Host Interface Module installed). 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 TCP/IP Ethernet interface or the Auxiliary interface.
MATRIX 300™ REFERENCE MANUAL 5 In this layout a single reader 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.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 5 5.2 ID-NET™ SYNCHRONIZED NETWORK 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/RS485/422 main serial interface.
MATRIX 300™ REFERENCE MANUAL 5 If the Backup and Restore function is not required, then a QL300 or QL500 can be used to connect the master reader. CAB-AUX03 ID-NET™ CAB-AUX03 QL150 QL150 CBL-1480-xx CBL-1480-xx CBL-1480-xx Slave Nodes CBL-1490 ID-NET Terminator Master The ID-NET network must be terminated through the internal switch of the CBX500 and inserting an ID-NET terminator into the last QL in the network. PS Power CAB-PW-EXT CBX500 Host 2 1 3 4 BA600 ID-NET™ Out BA400 Ext.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 5 The same configuration can be made to a Host using a TCP/IP Ethernet interface. In this case the Master is connected to a CBX500 with BM200/210 Host Interface Module installed. The TCP/IP Ethernet, auxiliary, and ID-NET™ interfaces are connected as shown in the figure below.
MATRIX 300™ REFERENCE MANUAL 5 5.3 ID-NET™ MULTIDATA NETWORK For a Master/Slave Multidata layout each reader has its own reading phase independent from the others; each single message is sent from the master reader to the Host computer.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 5 The same configuration can be made to a Host using a TCP/IP Ethernet interface. In this case the Master is connected to a CBX500 with BM200/210 Host Interface Module installed. The TCP/IP Ethernet, auxiliary, and ID-NET™ interfaces are connected as shown in the figure below.
MATRIX 300™ REFERENCE MANUAL 5 Alternatively, the Master reader 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 each individual reader (internal CBX500 9-pin connector) using the VisiSet™ configuration program or Host Mode programming. See par. 2.3.1 for details.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 5 5.4 PASS-THROUGH 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 reader (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 Matrix 300™ transmits its own messages plus any messages received by its Auxiliary interface onto the ID-NET™ interface.
MATRIX 300™ REFERENCE MANUAL 5 5.5 ETHERNET CONNECTION The Ethernet connection is possible in two different layouts.

READING FEATURES 6 6.5 MAXIMUM LINE SPEED AND EXPOSURE TIME CALCULATIONS 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 system, 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.
MATRIX 300™ REFERENCE MANUAL 6 Conveyor Speed Limit Texp (max) and LS (max) are represented in the graph below as the curved line for X (code resolution). Values above the curve result in blurring. In practice, the application values are somewhere below the theoretical line, (in the green area), due to environmental and other conditions.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 7 7 SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION Software configuration of your Matrix 300™ 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™ Setup Wizard for easy setup.

In order to find the reader using the VisiSet™ Look For Devices On Network tool, the reader and VisiSet™ must be on the same network (not through a sub-network or router). The Factory Default static IP address parameter settings for all Matrix Family readers are: IP Address = 172.24.24.1 Subnet Mask = 255.255.0.0 Gateway Address = 172.24.
MATRIX 300™ REFERENCE MANUAL 7 7.5 CONFIGURATION Once connected to Matrix 300™ as described in par. 7.3 or 7.4, you can modify the configuration parameters as follows: 1. Press the Calibration Tool button from the Main Menu. Matrix 300™ 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. 7.5.1 and par. 7.5.3). 2.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 7.5.1 7 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.
7 MATRIX 300™ REFERENCE MANUAL 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.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 7 When all the configuration parameters are set correctly, save them to the Matrix 300™ reader by pressing the Send button. See Figure 80. 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.
7 MATRIX 300™ REFERENCE MANUAL Environmental Parameters regard the device Identity and Position in a Network (ID-NET™, Ethernet, Fieldbus) 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.

7 MATRIX 300™ REFERENCE MANUAL For device replacement it is necessary to send the previously saved configuration (both Configuration and Environmental parameters) to the new device.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 7.5.3 7 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 81 - Calibration OK This tool provides a "real-time" image display while Matrix 300™ is reading.
MATRIX 300™ REFERENCE MANUAL 7 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.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 7 Over-exposure: To correct this result it is recommended to change the following parameters in their order of appearance: 1. decrease the Gain 2.
MATRIX 300™ REFERENCE MANUAL 7 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 84 - Example out of FOV 7.5.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 7.5.5 7 Extending DOF Using Standard Acquisition Group (Cycle All In Same Phase) Multiple Image Acquisition Settings assigned to the same Acquisition Group (Standard), can be configured and enabled to extend the reader's depth of field. During each reading phase, decoding will be attempted by applying each enabled Image Acquisition Setting (cyclically). Example: Read a 15 mil Data Matrix ECC 200 code covering a range from 140 to 320 mm (see 15 mil reading diagram).
MATRIX 300™ REFERENCE MANUAL 7 7.5.6 Extending DOF Using Alternative Acquisition Group (Input Select) NOTE: Do not use Interactive mode in VisiSet™ to set this feature. Multiple Image Acquisition Settings assigned to different Acquisition Groups (Standard and Alternative) can be configured and enabled to extend the reader's depth of field.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 7 Ext. Trigger Proximity Sensor on Input 2 Figure 85 - Example Extending DOF Using Alternative Acquisition Group Since many factors and parameters contribute to maximizing the reading process, it is suggested to use the VisiSet™ Standard Setup Wizard to set the different acquisitions settings. Multi Image Acquisition Settings Procedure using Standard Setup Wizard: 1. Using the Standard Setup Wizard set the first acquisition setting (default) for the 195 mm Reading Distance.
MATRIX 300™ REFERENCE MANUAL 7 7.5.7 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.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 7.5.8 7 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.
MATRIX 300™ REFERENCE MANUAL 7 7.5.9 Direct Part Marking Applications Decoding Method: Direct Marking For Data Matrix codes 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.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 7 Image Filter Sets the filter to be applied to the image before being processed. This parameter can be used to successfully decode particular ink-spread printed codes (ex. Direct part mark codes). A different filter can be applied to each Image Acquisition Setting. The Erode Filter enlarges the image dark zones to increase readability. Before - No Read After - Readable Erode The Dilate Filter enlarges the image white zones to increase readability.
MATRIX 300™ REFERENCE MANUAL 7 The Open filter eliminates white areas (defects) in the dark zones of the image. Before - No Read After - Readable Open The Contrast Stretching filter maximizes image contrast.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 7 The Histogram Equalization filter makes the gray level distribution uniform.
