TYPICAL LAYOUTS 63 7 7 TYPICAL LAYOUTS DS6400 scanners are mainly designed to work together on a high performance Lonworks sub-network to create multi-sided and omnidirectional reading stations that can interface with Serial or Fieldbus Host networks.
DS6400 REFERENCE MANUAL 64 7 NOTE For some DS6400 Lonworks Network layouts, power is pro pagated through the 9-pin scanner connectors. A specific jumper setting is required in CBXs to pass scanner power to the presence sensor, encoder, etc.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 65 7 The following image shows a system consisting of five reade rs (mixed 8K and 6K) where the external signals (trigger, encoder, serial to host , etc.) are connected to the master through the CBX100. Note: In a mixed 8K and 6K family scanner network, only the 8K family scanner can be Master.
DS6400 REFERENCE MANUAL 66 7 7.1.2 Multidata Network In this layout, one master and up to 7 DS6400 slave readers have their own P.S. and therefore multiple reading phases. Each P.S. is connected through a CBX100, which in turn is connected to its relative scanner through a CAB-Sxx cable.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 67 7 7.1.3 Fieldbus Networks The Fieldbus models (Ethernet, DeviceNet, or Profibus) offer connectivity without any converter or adapter needed.
DS6400 REFERENCE MANUAL 68 7 NOTE To interface DS6400 scanners to other Host types (Fieldbus and no n- Fieldbus), use the CBX800 Gateway with Host Interface Modules. The Master scanner in this case is a standard Master/Slave Serial model which requires the BT-6000 terminator.

DS6400 REFERENCE MANUAL 84 9 9 READING FEATURES 9.1 DS6400 FLASH™ DYNAMIC FOCUS The DS6400 has an innovative linear motor designed to control the focus position of the scanner via software. This dynamic system, called FLASH™ , is able to move the focus position rail to rail, from the minimum position to the maximum position.
READING FEATURES 85 9 9.1.3 Triggered Mode In Triggered mode, the focus position can be set depending on the received external input (photocell, barrier, serial message…). This mode represents the most traditional Flash™ function, since it requires photocells, barriers or a dedicate d interface to the Host (PC or PLC).

MAINTENANCE 123 10 10 MAINTENANCE 10.1 CLEANING Clean the laser beam output window periodically for correct operation of the scanner (see Figure A). Dust, dirt, et c. on the window may alter the reading performance. Repeat the operation frequently in particularly dirty environments.
DS6400 REFERENCE MANUAL 124 10 The ASR procedure is principally used for PackTrack™ configurations, but it restor es only a part of the system parameters: commo n slave parameters (Code Selection and Reconstruction) plus each single slave PackTrack™ calibration.
TROUBLESHOOTING 125 11 11 TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE Before contacting your local Datalogic off ice or Datalogic Partner or ARC, it is suggested to save the device configuration to a *.ddc file by m eans of the Genius™ software configuration program and check the device exact model and serial number.
DS6400 REFERENCE MANUAL 126 11 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem Suggestion On Line Mode and Serial On Line Mode: the reader does not respond correctly to the expected external signal end. In the Genius™ software configuration program select the OPERATING MODES folder and check the “Reading Phase Timeout” parameterization.
TROUBLESHOOTING 127 11 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem Suggestion How do I obtain my units’ serial numbers? The device serial number is printed on a label that is affixed above the connector panel of the reader. The serial number is also displayed when connecting the device through the Genius™ program.

DS6400 REFERENCE MANUAL 130 A A ALTERNATIVE LAYOUTS 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.
ALTERNATIVE LAYOUTS 131 A Fieldbus Models In this case no External Trigger is used and the CBX 100/CBX500 only passes power to the reader. The DS6400 Fieldbus models (Ethernet, DeviceNet or Profibus) are connected to a remote Host.
DS6400 REFERENCE MANUAL 132 A ID-NET™ GATEWAY The CBX800 Gateway can be used to integrate a DS6400 reader into a high speed ID- NET™ network consisting of different scanners not provided with a Lonworks interfac e. In this case the DS6400 uses its main RS232/RS485 interface to communicate with the CBX800.
ALTERNATIVE LAYOUTS 133 A PASS THROUGH When Pass Through is activated on the Auxiliary interface, the DS6400 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.

DS6400 REFERENCE MANUAL 136 A MULTIPLEXER The Multiplexer connection is used to integrate a DS6400 slave reader in a Multidrop network consisting of different scanners not provided with a Lonworks int erface. Each scanner is connected to a Multiplexer (MX4000) with the RS485 half-duplex main interface.
137 GLOSSARY ACR™ 4 Each version of the base has the powerful cod e reconstruction technology (ACR™ 4). The new fourth generation ACR™ considerably increases the code reconstruction reading capability in the case of damaged or very tilted barcodes.
138 Multidrop Line A single communications circuit that interconnects many stations, each of which contains terminal devices. See RS485. PackTrack™ PackTrack™ is a Datalogic patented parcel tr acking system which improves the readin g features in omnidirectional stations.
