    INSTALLATION JUNCTION BOX INSTALLATION The Junction Box provides a passive connection between your scanner and the outside world in a fast and practical way. It represents an alternative to the 25-pin connectors. Figure 4 shows the basic layout of a scanner using the junction box. Figure 4 - Scanner using Junction Box For Junction Box connections, the scanner has a cable that terminates in a 24-pin connector that plugs into the junction box.
  • Page 20 DS2400 The Junction Box is designed to be mounted to a panel of metal, plastic or other appropriate material using the mounting screws provided in the package. To do this: 1) Open the junction box by unscrewing the 4 cover screws. If necessary, using the two mounting holes inside the junction box as a pattern, mark the panel with an appropriate object and then drill two small pilot holes in the panel.

    DS2400 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS DS2400 25-pin connector models are equipped with a cable terminated by a 25-pin female D-sub connector for connection to the power supply and input/output signals. The details of the connector pins are indicated in the following table: Do not connect GND and SGND to different (external) ground references.
  • Page 25: Power Supply

    Main Serial Interface The signals relative to the following serial interface types are available on the input/output connector of DS2400 depending on the DS2400 model (see par. 1.3). If the interface type is not compatible with the current communication handshaking, then the system forces the handshake to none.
  • Page 26: Rs232 Interface

    DS2400 RS232 Interface The serial interface is used in this case for point to point connections; it handles communication with the host computer and allows both transmission of code data and the programming of the scanner. This is the default setting.
  • Page 27: Rs485 Full-Duplex Interface

    IDLE IDLE Figure 14 - RS232 control signals If the RTS/CTS handshaking protocol is enabled, the DS2400 activates the RTS232 output to indicate a message is to be transmitted. The receiving unit activates the CTS232 input to enable the transmission.
  • Page 28: Rs485 Half-Duplex Interface

    RS485 Half-Duplex Interface The RS485 half-duplex (3 wires + shield) interface is used for polled communication protocols. It can be used in a master/slave layout or for Multidrop connections with a Datalogic Multiplexer, (see par. 2.6.4 and 2.6.5). The connector pinout follows:...

  • Page 34: Positioning

    DS2400 POSITIONING The DS2400 scanner is able to decode moving barcode labels at a variety of angles, however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance. When mounting the DS2400 take into consideration these three ideal label position angles: Pitch 0°, Skew 10° to 30° and Tilt 0°.
  • Page 35: Typical Layouts

    INSTALLATION The Tilt angle is represented by the value T in Figure 27. Position the reader in order to minimize the Tilt angle. Figure 27 - Tilt angle 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.
  • Page 36: Point-To-Point

    DS2400 2.6.1 Point-to-Point In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the main serial interface. Host Mode programming can be accomplished either through the main interface or the auxiliary interface. In Local Echo communication mode, data is transmitted on the RS232 auxiliary interface independently from the main interface selection.
  • Page 37: Pass Through

    Pass through mode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single external serial interface. Each DS2400 transmits the messages received by the auxiliary interface onto the main interface. All messages will be passed through this chain to the host.
  • Page 38: Rs232 Master/Slave

    9 slaves connected together. The Slave scanners use RS232 only on the main and auxiliary serial interfaces. Each slave DS2400 transmits the messages received by the auxiliary interface onto the main interface. All messages will be passed through this chain to the master.

    It is necessary to bring the External Trigger signal to all the scanners. The main and auxiliary ports are connected as shown in the figure below. Auxiliary serial interface Host RS485HD Main serial interface External Trigger DS2400 Slave DS2400 Slave DS2400 PWR/TXD...
  • Page 40: Multiplexer

    DS2400 The auxiliary serial interface of the slave scanners can be used in Local Echo communication mode to control any single scanner (visualize collected data) or to configure it using the WinHost utility or Host Mode Programming procedure.
