INTRODUCTION 1 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The DS8100A scanner is a barcode reader complete with decoder designed to provide an innovative and high performance solution in omnidirectional reading applications by combining the following advanced technologies with Datalogic solid experience in the material handling sector.
DS8100A 1 Feature Benefit ACR™ • Advanced Code Reconstruction technology allows the reading of low aspect ratio labels placed anywhere on a parcel and enhances the readability of poorly printed or damaged codes.
INTRODUCTION 1 1.3 MODEL DESCRIPTION The DS8100A scanner is available in versi ons that differ depending on the interface connection, the optical resolution and on the optic version: DS8100A - X X X X.
DS8100A 1 By limiting NOTE the raster width to the minimum necessary, the num ber of scans on the reading surface is increased. The oscillating mirror is completely controlled by software commands and therefore avoids s of the software configuration parameters see e Genius™ Help On Line.

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.
DS8100A 2 2.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS All the connectors available for each scanner model are the following: Scanner Model Connectors Standard 26-pin male serial interface and I/O connector 17-pin male.
INSTALLATION 2 2.3.1 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.
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 env ironments.
DS8100A 2 Auxiliary Interface The auxiliary serial interface is equipped with RS232 full-duplex interface connections. The interface type is exclusive and is selectable thr ough 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 µ s.

INSTALLATION 2 Outputs Three general purpose outputs are available. Pin Name Function 8 OUT 1+ Configurable digital output 1 – positive pin 22 OUT 1- Configurable digital output 1 – negative pin 1.
DS8100A 2 The OUT3 electrical features are given below: Maximum voltage ± 100 V Collector current (pulse) 240 mA Max. Collector current (continuous) 150 mA Max. R on 6 – 15 Ω R off > 500 Ω Off-state leakage current < 1 µA Maximum power dissipation 550 mW at 50°C (Ambient temperature).
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.
INSTALLATION 2 The following diagrams represent different network terminations using either the BTK-8102 Lonworks terminator or the BTK-8100 bus return.
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.
INSTALLATION 2 Ethernet Interface The Ethernet interface (NIC) can be used for TCP/IP communication with a remote or local host computer by connecting the scanner to a LAN.
DS8100A 2 Note that GND is internally connected to chassis. The cable shield is also connected to pin 1 - CHASSIS. DS8100A USER INT ERF A C E 23/25 GND V- (Ground) V+ (20 – 30 Vdc) VS 9/13 CHASSIS 1 Earth Ground Chassis Figure 33 – Pow er Supply Us ing the 26-pin Connector 2.

P Figure 34 - "Pitch" angle The Skew angle is represented by the value S in Figure 35. Figure 35 - "Skew " angle The Tilt angle is represented by the value T in Figure 36.
DS8100A 2 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.
INSTALLATION 2 2.6.1 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 ava ilable according to the DS8100A reader model used for the connection.
DS8100A 2 2.6.2 Pass Through When Pass Through is activated on the Auxiliary interface, the DS8100A reader can be ed with a Lonworks terface. nnection mode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single external serial terface. The DS8100A transmits the messages received by its auxiliary interface onto its ain interface.

INSTALLATION 2 2.6.4 Multiplexer The Multiplexer connection is used to integrate a DS8100A slave reader in a Multidrop network consisting of different scanners not provided with a Lonworks interface. Each scanner is connected to a Multiplexer (MX4000) with the RS485 half-duplex 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.
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.
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.

INSTALLATION 2 2.6.6 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 provided. It can be presence sensor. 0. e re: the last slave is connected through CAB-830X, which also provides bus return.
