DS8100A REFERENCE MANUAL 5 5.2 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 DS8100A master usually employs the 17-pin female connector for output connection to the first slave, while the 17-pin male connector is terminated by inserting the BTK-8102 terminator (see Figure 61 for details). Both connectors are always employed when connecting together the slave readers.
LONWORKS CONNECTIONS 5 The following diagrams represent different network terminations using either the BTK-8102 Lonworks terminator or the BTK-8100 bus return. In Figure 65 the BTK-8102 terminator is indicated by the element, while the figure below shows its electrical circuit in details: Figure 64 – BTK-8102 Electrical Circuit The diagram below represents the termination of the double Lonworks line of a DS8100A working as master by means of the BTK-8102.

TYPICAL LAYOUTS 7 7 TYPICAL LAYOUTS DS8100A 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. This chapter covers the most common Lonworks layouts. DS8100A scanners can however, be connected in a variety of layouts depending on the number of scanners used and the required complexity of the reading station.
DS8100A REFERENCE MANUAL 7 CAUTION 7.1.1 For DS8100A Lonworks Network layouts, power is always propagated through the 17-pin scanner connectors. A specific jumper setting is required in CBXs to pass scanner power to the presence sensor, encoder, etc. 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 CBX connection box by means of a cable connected to the 26-pin D-sub male connector.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 7 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 CBX100. The system is powered by the PWR-240 where: the master is connected through CAB-86xx, which also provides bus termination the last slave is connected through CAB-83xx, which also provides bus return.
DS8100A REFERENCE MANUAL 7 7.1.2 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.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 7 E D B C F G SC6000 H A Conveyor PWO Figure 76 – Example Large Synchronized Network Reading Station Here are a few helpful hints which can improve station performance and reduce installation time: 1.

DS8100A REFERENCE MANUAL 7 7.1.3 Redundant System For large local Lonworks networks, a redundant system can per configured in which two SC6000 Controllers are used together with their respective PWO power supply/junction box units. The scanners are distributed equally between the PWO units. In this case one of the SC6000 Controllers is dedicated as the working or active unit while the other functions as a dedicated protecting or backup unit.

DS8100A REFERENCE MANUAL 7 7.1.4 Multidata Network In this layout, one master and up to 7 DS8100A 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-F0x cable. The master sends all the individual messages collected from the Lonworks interface as well as its own to the Local Host through its CBX100.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 7.1.5 7 Fieldbus Networks The Fieldbus model (Ethernet) offers connectivity without any converter or adapter needed. The DS8100A Lonworks master communicates as a Fieldbus slave to a remote host (i.e. remote PC connected via Internet) by means of a cable connected to the Fieldbus (Ethernet) connector provided. It can be activated by a signal generated by the remote Host or by a physical presence sensor.
DS8100A REFERENCE MANUAL 7 To interface DS8100A scanners to other Host types (Fieldbus and nonFieldbus), use the CBX800 Gateway with Host Interface Modules.

SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 8 8 SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 8.1 GENIUS™ INSTALLATION Genius™ is a Datalogic scanner configuration tool providing several important advantages: Wizard approach for new users; Multi-language version; Defined configuration directly stored in the reader; Communication protocol independent from the physical interface allowing the reader to be considered as a remote object to be configured and monitored.
DS8100A REFERENCE MANUAL 8 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 83 - Genius™ Wizard Closing Window Test Operating Mode This operating mode is not available when DS8100A works as slave.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 8 On Line Operating Mode Figure 85 - On Line Mode Selection This operating mode causes the reader to be connected to an external Presence Sensor using I1A and I1B (External Trigger/PS) inputs. During the active phase of the presence sensor, the DS8100A 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.
DS8100A REFERENCE MANUAL 8 8.2.2 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.

READING FEATURES 9 9 READING FEATURES 9.1 ADVANCED CODE RECONSTRUCTION (ACR™ 4) The traditional way of barcode reading could be called “Linear Reading”. In this case, the laser beam crosses the barcode symbol from its beginning to its end as shown in the following figure: Laser Beam Figure 90 – Linear Reading In Advanced Code Reconstruction mode it is no longer necessary for the laser beam to cross the label from the start to the end.
DS8100A REFERENCE MANUAL 9 The decoder will be able to read the label + max and - max as shown in the following figure: with a tilt angle between 0° OK OK No Read No Read No Read Conveyor - + OK OK OK Laser Beam Figure 93 – Reading Zones with Max The formulas to calculate maximum depend on various parameters such as: label height, number of scans per second, code motion speed, etc. Minimum label heights at different conveyor speeds are given in the tables in par. 9.3.
READING FEATURES 9 Working in PackTrack™ mode requires an encoder and a presence sensor (or equivalent signals) to track the moving packs. For correct functioning, the PackTrack™ operating mode requires a calibration just after the installation of the scanners. This operation is absolutely necessary to accurately locate barcodes on a fixed reference system.
DS8100A REFERENCE MANUAL 9 9.2.1 Auto PackTrack™ Calibration for Reading Station Using DLAPC In a Master /Slave Reading Station working in PackTrack™ or Continuous operating mode, the entire Reading Station can be automatically calibrated using the DLAPC tool in Genius™. The following paragraphs detail the Conditions and Limits, Parameters, and Procedure to follow. This information is also given in the Help On-Line.
READING FEATURES 9 Auto PackTrack Parameter Descriptions By means of the software tool DLAPC, it is possible to perform the Auto PackTrack setup procedure for PackTrack™ and Continuous Operating Mode applications.
9 DS8100A REFERENCE MANUAL Calibration Type: XYZ calibration with Absolute X position is forced. The coordinates for the three axes are calibrated. The X coordinate for all slaves is relative to a precise point (reference point). This requires that the X Offset be set which will be used to harmonize the X=0 coordinate of all of the individual slaves.
READING FEATURES 9 Auto PackTrack Setup 1. Click on the Start button and follow the instructions given in the Auto PackTrack procedure window. The first message is sent to the slaves and their status is shown in the synoptic buttons at the top of the window.
9 DS8100A REFERENCE MANUAL To run each instruction press the Next button. The procedure repeats the steps asking to change the PCT-8000 X position (i.e. always before the PS Line (reference point) and parallel to a conveyor edge but changing to the left-hand edge and/or to the center of the conveyor), until the procedure terminates. At the end of the procedure, only the Stop button is active. Typically 3 passes are necessary.
READING FEATURES 9 3. The Absolute X coordinate requires placing the barcode label centered onto the physical X position (X Offset) on the conveyor (previously set in the dialog box), you have 2 minutes to read the code before the procedure ends automatically. NOTE Be careful that the barcode is not accidentally read in the act of placing it at the desired X Offset position, and assure that it is read by only one scanner (see the figure below).
DS8100A REFERENCE MANUAL 9 Auto PackTrack Report The Auto PackTrack Report file can be downloaded from the Master scanner RAM by using the Tools>File transfer… menu in Genius™. The report is divided into three sections.
