Page 52: Typical Layouts
CHAPTER 5 TYPICAL LAYOUTS The following typical layouts refer to system hardware configurations. However, they also require the correct setup of the software configuration parameters. Dotted lines in the figures refer to optional hardware configurations within the particular layout. NOTE: All software configurations are made through DL.CODE which con- nects to the reader through the on-board Ethernet interface.
Page 53: Ethernet Connection
ETHERNET CONNECTION ETHERNET CONNECTION The Ethernet connection is possible in two different layouts. In a Point-to-Point layout the reader is connected to a local host by using a CAB-ETH- M0x cable. There is no need to use a crossover adapter since Blade incorporates an autocross function.
Page 54 TYPICAL LAYOUTS When using a Local Area Network (LAN), one or more Blade readers can be connected to the network by using CAB-ETH-M0x cables: Power BLADE Alone Switch CAB-ETH-M0x Host CAB-DSxx-S 1 - Ethernet Interface 2 - Auxiliary Serial Interface (RS232 - Data Monitor) 3 - External Trigger (for Phase Mode.
Page 55: Serial Connection
SERIAL CONNECTION SERIAL CONNECTION In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the main serial interface. The Ether- net interface can be used for reader configuration by connecting a laptop computer run- ning DL.CODE. Data can be transmitted on the RS232 auxiliary interface independently from the main interface selection to monitor data.
Page 56: Pass-Through
TYPICAL LAYOUTS PASS-THROUGH The pass-through layout allows each device working Alone, to collect data from one or more pass-through input channels and send this data plus its own on one or more dif- ferent output channels. In this way independent devices can be connected together in combinations to create multi device networks.
Page 57: Id-Net
ID-NET ID-NET The ID-NET network is a built-in high-speed interface dedicated for high-speed reader interconnection. ID-NET is in addition to the Main and Auxiliary serial interfaces. The following network configurations are available: • Single station – multiple readers: " ID-NET Synchronized Network" on page 58 •...
Page 58 TYPICAL LAYOUTS In the Master/Slave Synchronized layout the Master operating mode can only be set to Phase Mode. The Main and ID-NET interfaces are connected as shown in the following figures.

Page 60 TYPICAL LAYOUTS Alternatively, the Master reader can communicate to the Host as a Slave node on a Fieldbus network. This requires using an accessory Fieldbus interface board installed inside the CBX500 connection box. System configuration can be accomplished through the Ethernet interface of each individual reader using the DL.CODE configuration pro- gram.
Page 61: Id-Net Multidata Network (Pass-Through)
ID-NET ID-NET Multidata Network (Pass-Through) ID-NET interface allows connection of readers reading objects placed on independent conveyors. All readers are typically located far away from each other and they can have different operating modes from each other. At the end of each reading phase, each reader transmits its own data message to the host.

Page 64: Fieldbus Accessories For Ethernet Models
TYPICAL LAYOUTS Fieldbus accessories for Ethernet models Blade Ethernet models are compatible with CBX500 based accessory Fieldbus interface boards. In this layout a single reader functions as a Slave node on a Fieldbus network. The data is transmitted to the Host through an accessory Fieldbus interface board installed inside the CBX500 connection box.

Page 105: Verify Master/Slave Synchronized Configuration
INTERNAL NETWORK CONFIGURATIONS Verify Master/Slave Synchronized Configuration From the Master configuration, run the application and monitor the output data from the DL.CODE Console or a configured channel terminal. If necessary, as a troubleshooting tip, you can temporarily apply the Reading Mask field in place of each Code Content field to verify if all devices are reading.
Page 106 DL.CODE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION The Reading Mask shows which device reads which Expected Code. The mask is com- posed of a fixed 32-character string (0=No Read or 1=Read) representing the 32 possible readers in an ID-NET network. By default the Master is the last character in the string (Master on Right) but this can be changed.

BM150 DISPLAY MODULE CONFIGURATION AND MESSAGES BM150 DISPLAY MODULE CONFIGURATION AND MESSAGES The BM150 display module is an optional accessory for the CBX500 connection box. Although independent, it is an extension of the reader's HMI Interface, so through its keypad it provides execution of HMI features such as Test, Focus/Locate, Calibration and Code Setting.
Page 110: Accessing The Hmi Interface Through Keypad And Display Menu
DL.CODE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION Accessing the HMI Interface Through Keypad and Display Menu Through its keypad and display, the BM150 provides a remote extension of the reader's HMI Interface. The HMI default menu items can be accessed as well as the View menu for Master devices and the Extended menu for Backup and Restore functions.
Page 111 BM150 DISPLAY MODULE CONFIGURATION AND MESSAGES To exit from a running HMI function, press the Up and Down buttons simultaneously. These functions will also exit upon their configured timeout NOTE: When the HMI Interface is entered from either the Local Device (reader) or Remote Device (BM150), the key(s) on the other device are dis- abled.

Page 116: Bm150 Backup And Restore Procedure
DL.CODE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION BM150 Backup and Restore Procedure The Backup and Restore functions are valid for any application layout type (point-to- point, network, etc.) using CBX500 connection boxes through the BM100 Backup mod- ule (required accessory for BM150 installation). The Backup and Restore functions are managed through the BM150 display and keypad and therefore are disabled at the BM100 Backup/Restore button.
Page 117: Backup And Restore
CHAPTER 9 BACKUP AND RESTORE There are several methods to choose from in order to backup and restore a configura- tion: • " Backup and Restore Through Micro SD Card" on page 118 • " Backup and Restore Through DL.CODE" on page 119 BACKUP AND RESTORE THROUGH MICRO SD CARD A micro SD Card can optionally be used to provide a complete backup of the reader.
Page 118: Backup And Restore Through Dl.code
BACKUP AND RESTORE BACKUP AND RESTORE THROUGH DL.CODE DL.CODE allows Backup and Restore to be performed to/from the configuration PC via file or to an external storage device such as BM100. It can be performed for Single Reader and Internal Network (Master/Slave) configura- tions.
Page 119: Backup
BACKUP AND RESTORE THROUGH DL.CODE Backup To perform a Backup: 1. From the DL.CODE Device menu, select either Single Reader Backup (to file on PC); or Backup to external storage device. NOTE: For ID-NET network Backup, select the Backup current Internal Net- work configurations selection.
Page 120: Restore
BACKUP AND RESTORE Restore To perform a Restore: 1. From the DL.CODE Device menu, select either Single Reader Restore (from file on PC); or Restore from external storage device. NOTE: For ID-NET network Restore, select the Internal Network replace- ment selection. If restoring an ID-NET network though the Master, this may take a few minutes.
Page 121: Restore Defaults
BACKUP AND RESTORE THROUGH DL.CODE Restore Defaults The device parameters are divided into two main classes, Configuration and Environ- ment which are affected differently by the Restore Defaults commands. • The Configuration parameters are the ones set in the various steps of the configu- ration process and are specific to each application.

CHAPTER 10 MAINTENANCE CLEANING Clean the lens cover periodically for continued correct operation of the reader. See " General View" on page 16 Dust, dirt, etc. on the lens cover may alter the reading performance. Repeat the operation frequently in particularly dirty environments. Use soft material and alcohol to clean the lens cover and avoid any abrasive substances.

• If you’re unable to fix the problem and you’re going to contact your local Datalogic office or Datalogic Partner or ARC, we suggest providing (if possible): Application Program version, Parameter Configuration file, Serial Number and Order Number of your reader.
Page 125 GENERAL GUIDELINES Troubleshooting Guide Problem Suggestion Check if you are referring to the 17-pin connector or to the CBX spring clamp connectors. Is the sensor connected to Input 1 or Input 2? Is power supplied to the photo sensor? One Shot or Phase For NPN configuration, is power supplied to one of the two I1 or Mode using the I2 signals (A or B)?
