INTRODUCTION 1 1.3 OSCILLATING MIRROR MODELS Oscillating mirror models are used when coverage of a large reading area is required, mainly in picket fence applications. The DS6400 scanner mounts a dedicated optic head with integrated oscillating mirror driven by a linear motor. The speed, the precision, the repeatability, and the reliability of this driving technology assure high level performance. The new oscillating mirror is completely software controlled and software programmable.
DS6400 1 The mirror can be deflected up to 40°. Oscillation with respect to the output window median axis is asymmetrical ( see figure below). 37.5 40° ° -2.5° 0° Figure 3 - Oscillating Mirror Maximum Aperture and Asymmetry By configuring the oscillating speed up to the maximum value of 19 Hz, raster emulation can be performed for reading fast moving objects. Hz 0-5 6-10 11-15 16-19 Max.
INTRODUCTION 1 These models provide higher scanning speed (1200 scans/sec) compared to standard models and the reading performance is not adversely effected by the oscillating mirror. The following example represents the selection of an angle of +10° for the bottom line and an angle of +20° for the top line (see figure below). +37.5° +27.5° +17.5° Figure 5 - Oscillating Mode Refer to par. 2.2.1 for details about oscillating mirror mounting. 1.

INSTALLATION 2.2.2 2 Mounting the Scanner with Accessories The following accessories allow installing the DS6400 reader in the most suitable position for your network layout: - ST-237 mounting bracket; - ST-210 mounting bracket; - FBK-6000 fast bracket.
DS6400 2 The FBK-6000 is a fast bracket kit allowing a quick and easy mounting of the scanner on either the ST-210 or the ST-237 brackets. First, it is necessary to fix the FBK-6000 to the DS6400 scanner by means of the mounting screws: Figure 14 – Mounting the FBK-6000 on the Scanner Then, attach the assembly to the mounting bracket by slipping the hook into the bracket hole.
INSTALLATION 2 2.
DS6400 2 The table below gives the pinout of the C-BOX 100 terminal block connectors.
INSTALLATION 2.3.1 2 Main/Aux. Serial Interface and I/O Connector The DS6400 master/slave model is equipped with a 25-pin male D-sub connector for connection to the host computer, power supply and input/output signals. The DS6400 fieldbus models (Ethernet, DeviceNet, Profibus) adopt a 26-pin male connector instead of the 25-pin one.
DS6400 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. The scanner communicates to the C-BOX 100 through the RS232 interface and the INT-30 converts the signals. The main serial interface type and its relative parameters (baud rate, data bits, etc.
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 environments. The overall maximum cable length should not exceed 1200 m (3937 ft).
DS6400 2 RS485 Half-Duplex Interface The RS485 half-duplex interface can be used for multidrop connections with a Datalogic multiplexer or it can also be used for a master/slave layout. The overall maximum cable length should not exceed 1200 m (3937 ft).
INSTALLATION 2 Auxiliary Interface The auxiliary serial interface is equipped with RS232 full-duplex interface connections. The interface type is exclusive and is selectable through the Genius™ configuration program. The overall maximum cable length should not exceed 15 m (50 ft).
DS6400 2 Inputs The inputs of the reader are on the 25-pin and 26-pin connector (Figure D, 1 and Figure E, 1) of the DS6400. These inputs are called EXT_TRIG/PS, IN2/ENC, IN3 and IN4.

Electrical isolation between the input command logic and the scanner is maintained when powering the input devices from an external supply voltage (Vext).
INSTALLATION 2 By default, OUT1 is associated with COMPLETE READ event, which activates when the code has been read correctly. In case the reader has been programmed to read several codes within the same reading phase, the event activates when all codes have been read. OUT2 is associated with NO READ event, which activates when no code has been read. OUT3 is associated with NONE, which means that the output is always in Line State.

DS6400 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. The DS6400 master usually employs the 9-pin female connector for output connection to the first slave, while the 9-pin male one is terminated by inserting the BTK6000 terminator (see par. 2.7.2 for details). If creating a T network configuration, it is necessary to use both connectors to create the double branch line of slave readers.

INSTALLATION 2 Ethernet Interface The Ethernet interface (NIC) can be used for TCP/IP communication with remote or local host computer by connecting the scanner to a LAN as well as with a host PC directly connected to the scanner. The following is an example of a connection to a LAN through a Hub using a straight through cable: HUB / SWITCH DS6400 TX+ 1 1 TX- 2 2 RX+ 3 3 n. c. 4 4 n. c. 5 5 RX- 6 6 n. c. 7 7 n. c. 8 8 n. c.

INSTALLATION 2.3.5 2 Profibus Connector The 9-pin Profibus female connector (white) is only available in the DS6400 Profibus model and allows connection between the host and the reader: 1 5 9 6 Figure 43 - Profibus 9-pin Female Connector DS6400 9-pin Profibus connector pinout Pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 * ** Name Shield* Free B-LINE (RxD/TxD-P) CNTR-P** DGND +5 V Free A-LINE (RxD/TxD-N) CNTR-N** Function Shield, Protective Ground resp.
DS6400 2 2.3.6 Power Supply The supply voltage of a single scanner must be between 15 and 30 VDC. Datalogic strongly recommends a minimum 24 VDC supply voltage when using a master/slave configuration. The power consumption of the different DS6400 models is slightly different. In particular, when connecting several DS6400 readers in a master/slave connection, the typical power consumption for each scanner is 15 W. There is a power peak of about 20 W lasting 5..10 seconds caused by the motor starting.
INSTALLATION 2 How To Build A Simple Interface Test Cable: The following wiring diagram shows a simple test cable including power, external (push-button) trigger and PC RS232 COM port connections. 25-pin D-sub female 9-pin D-sub female 21 TXAUX 2 RX 20 RXAUX 3 TX 5 GND 23 GND PC 13 VS 25 GND DS6400 9 VS 18 EXT TRIG A 19 EXT TRIG B Power Supply VS (15 – 30 VDC) Power GND Trigger Test Cable for DS6400 2.
DS6400 2 The Skew angle is represented by the value S in Figure 46. Position the reader to assure at least 10° for the Skew angle. This avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the scanner. For oscillating mirror models, this angle refers to the most inclined or external laser line, so that all other laser lines assure more than 10° Skew. S Figure 46 - "Skew" Angle The Tilt angle is represented by the value T in Figure 47.
INSTALLATION 2 2.6 TYPICAL INSTALLATIONS 2.6.1 Standard Installation The DS6400 scanner is mounted on the ST-237 106° mounting bracket (see Figure 9) which guarantees a built-in Skew angle (S in the figure below) of 16° with respect to the frame plane (typically the Skew angle should be between 10° - 20°). This avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the scanner.
DS6400 2 ATTENTION If using the “45° Skew” installation, the scanner reading performance is not guaranteed to match that measured for the standard installation with Skew angle between 10° - 20° (see reading diagrams in par. 4.4.1). The ST-210 mounting bracket is an accessory of the DS6400 standard model available in the US-60 kit (890001020). NOTE 2.
INSTALLATION 2 Master/Slave Models When On-Line operating mode is used, the reader is activated by an External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone. In the following case, the signal is passed to the DS6400 by the C-BOX 100, which also supplies the system. M/S CAB-600X C-BOX 100 Local Host Presence Sensor* PG6000 * P.S. (Presence Sensor) connected to External Trigger/PS input.
DS6400 2 2.7.2 Pass Through When Pass Through is activated on the Auxiliary interface, the DS6400 reader (all models) 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. The DS6400 transmits the messages received by its auxiliary interface (RS232 only) onto its main interface.

DS6400 2 2.7.5 Local Lonworks Network A local Lonworks network allows logically connecting a DS6400 master reader with up to 31 DS6400 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 DS6400 master reader must be connected to a local host computer or a C-BOX 100 by means of a CAB-60XX cable connected to the 25-pin or 26-pin D-sub male connector. The master reader connects to the first slave reader of the system through the local Lonworks 9-pin female connector.
DS6400 2 The following image shows a system consisting of six readers where: • the system is powered by the PWR-240 • the master and all slaves are connected together through the CAB-610X cables • the external signals (trigger, encoder, serial to host, etc.) are connected to the master through the C-BOX 100 • one or more slaves are connected through CAB-63XX.
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. All scanners act as slaves and are connected to the SC6000 through the PWO power supply/junction box.
DS6400 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 C-BOX 100, which in turn is connected to its relative scanner through a CAB-60XX cable. The master sends all the individual messages collected from the Lonworks interface as well as its own to the Local Host through its C-BOX 100.
INSTALLATION 2.7.6 2 Fieldbus Network The Fieldbus Ethernet model offers connectivity without any converter or adapter needed. The DS6400 master Fieldbus communicates with a remote host (for ex. remote PC connected via Internet) by means of a cable connected to the Fieldbus connector provided. It can be activated by a signal generated by the remote Host or by a physical presence sensor. The external signals (trigger, encoder) are connected to the master through the C-BOX 100.
DS6400 2 2.8 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 FLASHTM, is able to move the focus position rail to rail, from the minimum position to the maximum position. The FLASHTM functionalities are programmed via the GENIUS™ tool (refer to the GENIUS™ Help On-Line for details) and can operate in the following modes: • • • • Fixed Mode Continuous Mode Triggered Mode D-Flash™ Mode 2.8.
INSTALLATION 2.8.3 2 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 dedicated interface to the Host (PC or PLC). The excellent performance of the DS6400 optic platform allows covering an area of 80 x 80 cm containing a 38 mm/15 mils resolution code by using one photocell only.
DS6400 2 2.
INSTALLATION 2.9.2 2 Test Mode Test Mode is particularly advised during the installation phase, since it causes the reader to be continuously activated allowing to verify its reading features and its reading position with respect to the barcode. To enter the Test Mode submenu and configure the scanner follow the given procedure: 1) Press and hold both the ▲ (up arrow) and ▼ (down arrow) keys for about 2 seconds to enter the Main menu.
DS6400 3 3 SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 3.1 GENIUS™ INSTALLATION Genius™ is a new Datalogic scanner configuration tool providing several important advantages: • Wizard approach for low skilled users; • Multi-language version; • Defined configuration directly stored in the reader; • Communication protocol independent from the physical interface allowing to consider the reader as a remote object to be configured and monitored.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 3 After defining the parameter values the following window appears allowing to complete the reader configuration as follows: - Saving the configuration to disk; - Switching to Advanced mode; - Sending the configuration to the scanner. Figure 67 - Genius™ Wizard Closing Window Test Operating Mode This operating mode is not available when DS6400 works as slave.
DS6400 3 On Line Operating Mode Figure 69 - On Line Mode Selection This operating mode requires the reader to be connected to an external Presence Sensor using EXT TRIG/PS A and EXT TRIG/PS B inputs. During the active phase of the presence sensor, the DS6400 reader tries to acquire and correctly decode the code. In case the decoding phase is successful, the barcode characters are transmitted on the serial interface. Otherwise, a no read message is sent.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 3.2.2 3 Genius™ Network Setup Through Master The Network Setup allows configuring your Local Lonworks Network through the Master using Genius™. Three different procedures are available to define the number of network slave scanners, their label and address according to two main conditions: Condition Available Procedure Feature Unknown Slave Addresses Net-Autoset automatically assigns random addresses to slave or Stand Alone scanners.
DS6400 3 The following dialog box appears asking whether to send the configuration to the Master or not: icon available on the Toolbar to make the 2. Click the "Yes" button, then click on the “Devices” area appear next to the Parameter Explorer window. By repeatedly clicking the icon this area will be displayed or hidden.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 3 3. Then, proceed with the network setup by using one of the icons available on the Tool Bar according to the procedure to follow: = Net-Autoset procedure = Network Wizard procedure = Express Network Setup procedure Net-Autoset This procedure is to be used when all scanner addresses and labels are unknown (typically when configuring the network for the first time or whenever a network reconfiguration is required).
DS6400 3 Network Wizard Before performing this procedure, a Lonworks address must be assigned to each slave scanner. The most practical method is through the Net-Autoset procedure. See par. 3.2.3 for alternative address assignment methods. Once all addresses have been assigned, the Network Wizard is to be used when one or more scanner addresses and labels need to be modified. 1. Click on the button to open the Network Wizard dialog box: a.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 3 2. If desired, select a slave scanner within the "Current Devices" area and click on the icon (or select the "Show Device" option from the right-click menu) to make the dialog box appear as follows: • • The "Show Device" option is particularly useful after the Net-Autoset procedure or whenever it is necessary to know which address is assigned to a specific slave scanner.
DS6400 3 3.2.3 Alternative Slave Address Assignment As alternatives to Network Setup through the Master, each Slave scanner can be assigned an address through the following methods: • address setting through the Local Device Network Settings item in the Device Menu with the slave scanner connected to Genius™ • manual address setting through slave scanner keyboard (see par. 2.9.1 for details). 3.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 3 3.4 PARAMETER DEFAULT VALUES The following table contains the list of the factory default settings for the DS6400. Genius™ also allows checking the parameter default values by selecting the "Compare parameters" option available in the Tools menu and comparing the current scanner configuration to the default one.
