    The DX6400 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 DX6400 Ethernet models adopt a 26-pin male connector instead of the 25-pin one. The details of the connector pins are indicated in the following table:...

  • Page 26: Main Interface

    The RTS and CTS signals control data transmission and synchronize the connected devices. If the RTS/CTS hardware protocol is enabled, the DX6400 activates the RTS output to indicate a message can be transmitted. The receiving unit must activate the CTS input to enable the transmission.

    Laptop PC. CAUTION The local network used by DX6400 exploits a Lonworks standard communication system requiring only two wires (polarity insensitive) to enable a connection. The connector also provides a positive and a negative supplying wire. In this way, all the slave readers can be powered by the master through the Datalogic standard cables.

  • Page 35: Network Termination

    When building a Lonworks system the network must be properly terminated by positioning BTK-6000 terminator in the DX6400 master reader and in the last DX6400 slave reader. Each side of the terminator provides a different connector; thus, it can be inserted either into...

  • Page 41: Typical Layouts

    INSTALLATION 2.5 TYPICAL LAYOUTS The DX6400 scanners can be connected in a variety of layouts depending on the number of scanners used and the required complexity of the reading station. These layouts range from Single Stand Alone to Complex Lonworks Networks.
  • Page 42 In this case no External Trigger is used and the C-BOX 100 only supplies the reader. The DX6400 Ethernet model is connected to a fieldbus remote Host. It can be activated by a signal generated by the remote Host or always be active if working in Automatic operating mode.

  • Page 43: Pass Through

    2.5.2 Pass Through When Pass Through is activated on the Auxiliary interface, the DX6400 reader (all models) can be integrated in a network consisting of different scanners not provided with a Lonworks interface. This connection mode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single external serial interface.

  • Page 47: Local Lonworks Network

    2.5.5 Local Lonworks Network A local Lonworks network allows logically connecting a DX6400 master reader with up to 31 DX6400 slaves. Actually, the maximum number of readers to be employed in the network depends on the system operating conditions; that is adopted operating mode and amount of data stream.

  • Page 48: Small Synchronized Network

    Small Synchronized Network When building a small local Lonworks network (less than 10 scanners), the DX6400 master reader must be connected to a local host computer or a C-BOX 100 by means of a CAB- 60XX cable connected to the 25-pin or 26-pin D-sub male connector.

  • Page 50: Large Synchronized Network

    All scanners act as slaves and are connected to the SC6000 through the PWO power supply/junction box. For DX6400 scanners, a single branch connector provides Lonworks communications between the scanners and the SC6000 unit. Power is distributed evenly by connecting groups of up to 4 Slave scanners through CAB-63XX cables.

  • Page 51: Multidata Network

    INSTALLATION Multidata Network In this layout, one master and up to 7 DX6400 slave readers have their own P.S. and therefore multiple reading phases. Each P.S. is connected through a C-BOX 100, which in turn is connected to its relative scanner through a CAB-60XX cable.

  • Page 52: Fieldbus Network

    The Fieldbus Ethernet model offers connectivity without any converter or adapter needed. The DX6400 master Fieldbus communicates with a remote host (for ex. remote PC connected via Internet) by means of a cable connected to the Fieldbus connector provided. It can be activated by a signal generated by the remote Host or by a physical presence sensor.

    The formulas to calculate α maximum depend on various parameters such as: label height, number of scans per second, code motion speed, etc. DX6400 scanners provide omni-directional reading by dividing the scan line into two legs which produce a cross pattern where angle α is fixed for each leg (see figure below). Since code reconstruction is used, minimum label heights at different conveyor speeds are given in the tables in par.
