1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The DS6300 is the first high performance laser scanner in a complete range of industrial
barcode readers offering an innovative and modular solution in terms of reading
performance, connectivity and maintenance, in addition to a completely new hardware and
software platform.
The DS6300 has been specifically designed for simple installation, easy use and flexibility.
An innovative mechanical design together with the Datalogic patent pending Step-a-Head
feature make it possible to rotate the reader head and the decoder base independently from
each other. Step-a-Head
by modifying the orientation of the connector panel while leaving the laser window in the
desired position. The need for space is minimized and installation is easier.
The DS6300 has an innovative multi-step optic assembly for mechanically adjustable
focusing, providing the scanner with a particularly large reading range of 250 mm to 2,000
mm (10-80 inches). Its key features are excellent reading field at the minimum distance and
outstanding reading performance on low contrast bar codes. These features are a great
benefit in applications such as reading bar codes directly printed on cardboard boxes.
The DS6300 can read all most popular bar codes even in the most difficult conditions, thanks
to a new generation decoder with Intel XScale CPU and code reconstruction technology
(ACR™ 4).
This reader is also offered in a model with an integrated SW programmable oscillating mirror.
Great attention has been given to built-in connectivity for all market standards. Lonworks,
Profibus, DeviceNet and Ethernet bus have been integrated in dedicated versions of the
decoder base.
Some of the main features of DS6300 are listed below:
•
scanning speed up to 1200 scans/sec;
•
2 serial communication interfaces
•
reading all popular codes;
•
supply voltage from 15 to 30 Vdc;
•
electrical connection through connectors;
•
high speed Lonworks connectivity for Master/Slave layout;
•
built-in connectivity for Profibus, DeviceNet and Ethernet;
•
programmable in 5 different operating modes to suit the most various barcode reading
system requirements;
•
light source: solid state laser diode; the light emitted has a wavelength between
630~680nm.
•
IP64 protection class of the enclosure (not yet available for Ethernet models).
The DS6300 is the first product of a new family of scanners designed to satisfy the needs of
the Manufacturing industry. Manufacturing, the core process from row material to finished
product, is a huge industry divided in different branches of economic sectors: from
automotive to electronics, from food & beverages to white goods.
