LASER SAFETY The following information is provided to comply with the rules imposed by international authorities and refers to the correct use of the DS6300 reader. Standard Regulations This scanner utilizes a low-power laser diode. Although staring directly at the laser beam momentarily causes no known biological damage, avoid staring at the beam as one would with any very strong light source, such as the sun.

Oscillating mirror models are used when coverage of a large reading area is required, mainly in picket fence applications. The DS6300 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.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The mirror can be deflected up to 40°. Oscillation with respect to the output window median axis is asymmetrical ( see figure below). 40° 0° Figure 8 - 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.

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 DS6300 by the C-BOX 100, which also supplies the system. CAB600X...
DS6300 readers supported depends on the type of power propagation adopted by the system (see par. 2.2.6 for details). Contact Datalogic S.p.A., if your network requires a higher number of readers or in case the application throughput is very high.

Figure 14 - Single P.S. with more than 3 Readers Multi P.S. In this layout, up to 7 DS6300 slave readers have their own P.S. and therefore multiple reading phases, while the P.S. activating the master reader is managed by the C-BOX 100.
The Fieldbus (Ethernet, Profibus and DeviceNet) model offers connectivity without any converter or adapter needed. The DS6300 master Fieldbus communicates with a remote host (for ex. remote PC connected via Internet) by means of a cable connected to the Fieldbus (Ethernet, Profibus or DeviceNet) connector provided.

2.2.1 Main/Aux. Serial Interface and I/O Connector The DS6300 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 DS6300 fieldbus models (Ethernet, DeviceNet, Profibus) adopt a 26-pin male connector instead of the 25-pin one.
The RTS and CTS signals control data transmission and synchronize the connected devices. If the RTS/CTS hardware protocol is enabled, the DS6300 activates the RTS output to indicate a message can be transmitted. The receiving unit must activate the CTS input to enable the transmission.

Figure 26 - RS232 Auxiliary Interface Connections Inputs The inputs of the reader are on the 25-pin and 26-pin connector (Figure 4, 1 and Figure 5, 1) of the DS6300. These inputs are called EXT_TRIG, IN2, IN3 and IN4. Name...
INSTALLATION DS6300 EXTERNAL DEVICE Vext INREF + 5V PSIN IN3A EXTERNAL DEVICE Vext + 5V PSIN IN4A Figure 32 - NPN Input Command The inputs can be powered using the VS signal on the scanner (pin 9). However, isolation between the command logic and the scanner is maintained by powering the inputs with a different supply voltage (Vext) from that supplied on pin 9 of the 25-pin/26-pin I/O connector.

DS6300 The OUT1 and OUT2 electrical features are given below: Collector-emitter voltage 30 V Max. Collector current 130 mA Max. Saturation voltage (VCE) 1 V at 10 mA Max. Maximum power dissipation 90 mW at 50°C (Ambient temperature). The limit requested by the maximum power dissipation is more important than that of the maximum collector current: if one of these outputs is continuously driven, the maximum current must not be more than 40 mA although 130 mA may be reached in pulse conditions.
The use of these system circuits is not required in all the operating modes (see par. 1.7 for details). Anyway, for a correct system functioning it is suggested to use Datalogic cables and accessories and follow the description of the typical layout (see par. 1.7 for details).
The Lonworks network is used for both input and output connection to build a multi-sided or omni-station system connecting several readers. The DS6300 master usually employs the 9-pin male connector for output connection to the first slave, while the 9-pin female one is terminated by inserting the BTK6000 terminator (see par.

When mounting DS6300 take into consideration these three ideal label position angles: Pitch 0°, Skew 10°...
Figure 49 - "Tilt" Angle 2.4 FOCUS ADJUSTMENT The DS6300 provides a manual adjustment of the optics to optimize the reading performance by choosing the best focus between two extreme positions. The focus adjustment is continuous and not by step; thus, allowing an optimum adjustment around the selected position.
