TYPICAL LAYOUTS 6 6 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. 6.1 POINT-TO-POINT In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the main serial interface.
MATRIX 200™ REFERENCE MANUAL 6 In this layout a single scanner 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 6 6.2 PASS-THROUGH Pass-through mode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single external serial interface. Each reader transmits the messages received by the Auxiliary interface onto the Main interface. All messages will be passed through this chain to the host. When One Shot or Phase Mode operating mode is used, the reader can be activated by an External Trigger (for example a pulse from a photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.
MATRIX 200™ REFERENCE MANUAL 6 6.3 ID-NET™ 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 main serial interface.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 6 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.
MATRIX 200™ REFERENCE MANUAL 6 Alternatively, the Master scanner 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 the Master reader (internal CBX500 9-pin connector) using the VisiSet™ configuration program or Host Mode programming.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 6 6.4 RS232 MASTER/SLAVE This interface is provided for backward compatibility. We recommend using the more efficient ID-NET™ network for Master/Slave or Multiplexer layouts. NOTE The RS232 master/slave connection is used to collect data from several readers to build either a multi-point or a multi-sided reading system; there can be one master and up to 9 slaves connected together. The Slave readers use RS232 only on the main and auxiliary serial interfaces.
MATRIX 200™ REFERENCE MANUAL 6 6.5 MULTIPLEXER This interface is provided for backward compatibility. We recommend using the more efficient ID-NET™ network for Master/Slave or Multiplexer layouts. NOTE Each reader is connected to a Multiplexer (for example MX4000) with the RS485 half-duplex main interface through a CBX connection box. Before proceeding with the connection it is necessary to select the MUX32 communication protocol and the multidrop address for each reader.
TYPICAL LAYOUTS 6 6.6 USB CONNECTION (MATRIX 200 XXX-X2X MODELS ONLY) For Matrix 200 XXX-020 models, the USB connection is possible in two different layouts. The default baud rate is 115200. To maximize data transfer you can set it up to 921600 by configuring the reader though the Communication parameters via VisiSet™. For further details, see the Communication Folder in the VisiSet™ Help On Line. In a Point-to-Point layout the reader is connected to a local host through its USB cable.

READING FEATURES 7 7.1 MAXIMUM LINE SPEED CALCULATION 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, 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 200™ REFERENCE MANUAL 7 The Internal Lighting Mode parameter allows to set the operating mode of the internal lighting system. The possible values are: • Disabled: the built-in lighting system is turned off all the time. This option can be useful only if external lighting is sufficient; • Always ON: the built-in lighting system is turned on all the time at the lowest power level. This option is useful if the lighting system blinking (Strobed operating mode) disturbs the operator.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 8 8 SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION Software configuration of your Matrix 200™ for static reading or simple code reading applications can be accomplished by the Rapid Configuration procedure using the XPRESS™ HMI (which requires no external configuration program) or by using the VisiSet™ Autolearning Wizard for easy setup.

MATRIX 200™ REFERENCE MANUAL 8 8.4.1 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.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 8 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.
MATRIX 200™ REFERENCE MANUAL 8 When all the configuration parameters are set correctly, save them to the Matrix 200™ reader by pressing the Send button. See Figure 100. 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.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 8 Environmental Parameters regard the device Identity and Position in a Network (ID-NET™, Master/Slave RS232, MUX 32) 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.
8 MATRIX 200™ 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 8.4.3 8 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 101 - Calibration OK This tool provides a "real-time" image display while Matrix 200™ is reading.
MATRIX 200™ REFERENCE MANUAL 8 The following examples show some of the typical conditions occurring during the installation: Under-exposure: To correct this result it is recommended to change the following parameters in their order of appearance: 1. increase the Exposure Time 2. increase the Gain In general, a longer exposure time corresponds to a lighter image but is susceptible to blurring due to code movement. Exposure time is also limited by the Internal Lighting mode parameter.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 8 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 200™ REFERENCE MANUAL 8 Moving code out of the Field of View: To correct this result and have the code completely visible in F.O.V.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 8.4.4 8 Multi Image Acquisition Settings When controlled variable conditions occur in the application, Multiple Image Acquisition Settings (up to 10), can be defined to create a database of parameter groups that handle each specific application condition. This database of pre-defined settings functions cyclically and therefore automatically improves system flexibility and readiness.
MATRIX 200™ REFERENCE MANUAL 8 8.4.6 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.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 8.4.7 8 Direct Part Marking Applications Decoding Method: Direct Marking For DataMatrix and QR code 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.
MATRIX 200™ REFERENCE MANUAL 8 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.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 8 8.5 IMAGE CAPTURE AND DECODING By using the Capture Image and Decode Last Image functions from the VisiSet™ Main menu, you can get information about the image decodable codes in terms of Symbology, encoded Data, Position and Orientation, Decode Time and Code Quality Assessment Metrics. Figure 105 - Capture and Decoding Functions 8.
5 Matrix 400™ Reference Manual 9 MAINTENANCE 9.1 CLEANING Clean the reading window (see Figure A, 1) periodically for continued correct operation of the reader. Dust, dirt, etc. on the window may alter the reading performance. Repeat the operation frequently in particularly dirty environments. Use soft material and alcohol to clean the window and avoid any abrasive substances.
