Laser diode class label

Any violation of the optic parts in particular can cause radiation up to the maximum level of

the laser diode (35 mW at 630~680 nm).

POWER SUPPLY

The supply voltage for correct operation of the scanner depends on the models:

- between 20 and 30 VDC, supplied to the Lonworks Network connector, for

DX8200 Controller-X0X0 models

- between 85 and 264 VAC, supplied through the VAC power cable, for DX8200

Controller-X0X1 models.

A security system allows the laser to activate only once the motor has reached the correct

rotational speed; consequently, the laser beam is generated after a slight delay from the

power on of the scanner.

During power up of the scanner there is a current peak of about 3A caused by the motor

startup.

GENERAL FEATURES

1 GENERAL FEATURES

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The DX8200 Controller scanner is a high performance omnidirectional barcode reader that

provides an innovative solution for omnidirectional system reading applications. In particular,

DX8200 Controller serves as both the Master of the cluster and Controller of the Lonworks

bus network where up to 13 scanners can be present to make up the reading station. The

major advantage is in eliminating the need for an external Lonworks Controller.

DX8200 Controller also interfaces directly to the Host to manage all interfacing activities:,

communications, inputs, outputs.

Another advantage of the DX8200 Controller is the built-in Ethernet connectivity which is

completely controlled by its own microprocessor and available as an alternative Host

connection to the Main and Aux port serial communication. With this connection there is no

loss in decoding performance because the TCP/IP protocol management is completely

separate from the decoding process.

The DX8200 Controller uses exclusively the PackTrack™ Operating Mode in which the

barcodes collected from the Slave scanners are assigned the correct parcel and the

message is transmitted to the Host.

However, the DX8200 Controller can also be used in Stand-Alone configurations.

The Genius™ configuration program is used to completely configure the DX8200 Controller

regarding enabled code symbologies, PackTrack™ parameters, Data formatting, etc.

Through the Controller, the relative Slave scanner configurations can also be managed.

The Controller maintains easy replacement and therefore down time reduction criteria in that

it stores the entire system configuration. If a slave scanner must be replaced, the

corresponding configuration is automatically downloaded by the Controller. If the DX8200

Controller fails, the system configuration can be restored through the Genius™ program.

The following Datalogic advanced technologies are employed in the DX8200 Controller:

ACR™

Advanced Code Reconstruction technology allows the reading of low aspect ratio labels

placed anywhere on a parcel and enhances the readability of poorly printed or damaged

codes.

CD SQUARE™

CD SQUARE™ provides useful information on label position and object shape elaborated

during the barcode reading phase. This innovative technology identifies the area in which the

code is located and measures the code distance from the scanner.

PACKTRACK™

PackTrack™ is a Datalogic patented parcel tracking system which improves the reading

features in omnidirectional stations. In particular, PackTrack™ manages 6-sided reading

systems when it is impossible to detect the real position of the code on the parcel, thus

overcoming the need for external accessories essential in traditional tracking systems. See

par. 4.2 for more details.

ASTRA™

Automatically Switched Reading Area™ is a Datalogic technology based on a multi-laser

architecture and a fixed mounted optic system which concentrates the multiple laser

emissions in a single laser beam. As each laser emitter is focused on a specific range of the

reading area, a sophisticated electronic controller selects the best focused laser emitter with

respect to the code to read. This allows the reading of medium-high density codes in a large

reading area on very fast conveyors.

FLEXIBILITY

The high frequency laser diode modulation system guarantees complete immunity to ambient

light and allows installation of the DX8200 Controller in any working area.

The DX8200 Controller is easily configurable by means of the Windows-based user-friendly

Genius utility program provided on CD-ROM.

Some of the main features of DX8200 Controller are listed below:

• Lonworks high speed network

• scanning speed 500 scans/sec for each scan line (1000 scans/sec. total)

• reads all popular codes

• 85-264 VAC or 24 VDC operation

• light source: solid state laser diodes; the light emitted has a wavelength in the range

630~680 nm. For laser safety precautions refer to the “Safety precautions” section at the

beginning of this manual.

2.3.1 Power Supply

The supply voltage for correct operation of the scanner depends on the models:

- between 20 and 30 VDC, supplied to the Lonworks OUTPUT connector, for DX8200

Controller-X0X0 models

- between 85 and 264 VAC, supplied through the VAC cable, for DX8200 Controller-

X0X1 models.

For VDC models, the PWR power supplies (optional), supply the power necessary for the

entire network of DX8200 Controller and relative Slaves and allows main power to be used.

For VAC models the main AC power connects directly to the DX8200 Controller to power the

entire network.

A security system allows the laser to activate only once the motor has reached the correct

rotational speed; consequently, the laser beam is generated after a slight delay from the

power on of the scanner.

During power up of the scanner there is a current peak of about 3A caused by the motor

startup.
