    It can be used for Multidrop connections in a master-slave layout or with a Datalogic Multiplexer, (see par. 2.8.3, 2.8.4 and 2.8.5). Device connection to the Multidrop line can be controlled externally through the RS485CNTR line. For example, it may be necessary to disconnect a scanner from the line if the device is damaged or the line is overloaded.

  • Page 44: Focus Adjustment

    DS6100 2.7 FOCUS ADJUSTMENT Before installing the DS6100, the operator should select a specific reading area by means of the optical system for manual adjustment of the focal length. The focus adjustment is obtained by rotating a regulation screw which moves the internal lenses and therefore causes the laser beam focusing position to change.

  • Page 45: Typical Layouts

    DS6100 DATALOGIC NOTE The focus adjustment screw is positioned by default at the value 2. Figure 2.34 - Focus regulation 2.8 TYPICAL LAYOUTS The following typical layouts refer to system hardware configurations. Dotted lines in the figures refer to optional hardware configurations within the particular layout.
