  • Page 17: Indicators - Ds8100 Serial Interface

    GENERAL FEATURES 1.2.1 Indicators - DS8100 Serial Interface The DS8100 Serial Interface has six LEDs and an LCD display on the front panel. The indicators have the following functions: Power ON: LED (green). Indicates the scanner is ON. (Figure A, 3).

  • Page 18: Available Models

    Oscillating mirror models are used when coverage of a large reading area is required, mainly in picket fence applications. The oscillating mirror is placed in front of the reading aperture of the DS8100 scanner to deflect the laser beam. As the mirror moves, this sweeping function of the laser beam allows the coverage of a larger area to locate the barcodes.
  • Page 19 GENERAL FEATURES The oscillating function can be set to work in two different oscillating reading areas (setpoints). The selection of which setpoint area to use is controlled by the physical input signal PS3 (see par. 2.4.5). 50° Max 50° 40° Min 20°...

  • Page 32: Rs485 Full-Duplex Interface

    DS8100 RS485 Full-Duplex Interface The RS485 full-duplex (5 wires + shield) interface is used for non-polled communication protocols in point-to-point connections over longer distances (max 1200 m / 3940 ft) than those acceptable for RS232 communications or in electrically noisy environments.

  • Page 33: Rs485 Half-Duplex Interface

    The RS485 half-duplex (3 wires + shield) interface is used for polled communication protocols. It can be used for Multidrop connections in a master/slave layout or with a Datalogic Multiplexer, (see par. 2.6.3, 2.6.4 and 2.6.5). Device connection to the Multidrop line can be controlled externally through the RS485CNTR line.

  • Page 35: 20 Ma Current Loop Interface

    INSTALLATION – DS8100 SERIAL INTERFACE 20 mA Current Loop Interface The DS8100 has two current generators (one for transmission and one for reception), allowing for both active and passive type connections. The following pins of the Main Interface connector (Figure A, 15) are used for 20 mA C.L.

  • Page 36: Auxiliary Interface

    Figure 19 - 20 mA C.L. passive connections 2.4.4 Auxiliary Interface The auxiliary serial interface of the DS8100 Serial Interface version is equipped with both RS232 and RS485 half-duplex interface connections. The signals for the auxiliary interface are available on the Aux. Interface A and B connectors to simplify the master/slave connections (Figure A, 13 and 14).

  • Page 37: Rs485 Half-Duplex Auxiliary Interface

    Inputs The inputs of the scanner are on the Input Signal A and B connectors on the body of the DS8100 (Figure A, 13 and 14). These inputs are called ENC/PS3, PS1 and PS2. ENC is the Encoder input. In PackTrack™ operating mode, it detects the conveyor speed.
  • Page 38 DS8100 PS1 is the main presence sensor (external trigger). When active, this input tells the scanner to scan for a code and that decoding can take place. The yellow LED (Figure A, 4) indicates that PS1 is active. PS2 can be used as the stop signal for the reading phase.

  • Page 39: Outputs

    N.C. not connected A D.C. output voltage, the same as that powering the DS8100, is present between pins 1 and 2. This may be used to power external devices: electrical isolation between the scanner and external devices is lost in this case.
  • Page 40 DS8100 The No Read output activates when a code signaled by the presence sensor is not decoded. The Right output is used to signal the presence of a right code, thus a good decode condition. All outputs are level or pulse programmable: a 50 ms pulse is generated in the second case.

  • Page 43: Pass Through

    Pass Through Pass Through Mode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single external serial interface. The DS8100 transmits the messages received by its auxiliary interface (RS232 only) onto its main interface. In this configuration a series of scanners can be connected together using RS232 on the main interface and all messages will be passed through this chain to the host.

  • Page 44: Rs485 Master/Slave

    Master and, for most applications, up to 2 Slaves can be connected together. For applications requiring more than 2 Slaves contact the Datalogic Technical Support team. The Master and Slave scanners are connected together using RS485 half-duplex on the auxiliary serial interface.
  • Page 45 Figure 34 - Single P.S. ready made cables Multi P.S. In this layout, each DS8100 has its own P.S. and therefore multiple reading phases. The master sends the individual messages collected from the multidrop line as well as its own to the Host.
