1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The DS6300 is the first high performance laser scanner in a complete range of industrial bar

code 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

TM

feature make it possible to rotate the reader head and the decoder base independently from

each other. Step-a-Head

TM

enables the DS6300 to always be installed in the ideal position,

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 multistep optic 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 StrongARM CPU and code reconstruction technology

(ACR3).

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 12 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.

1.5 OSCILLATING MIRROR MODELS

Oscillating mirror models are used when coverage of a large reading area is required, mainly

in picket fence applications.

The DS6300 scanner mounts a dedicated optic head with integrated oscillating mirror driven

by a linear motor. The speed, the precision, the repeatability, and the reliability of this driving

technology assure high level performance.

The new oscillating mirror is completely software controlled and software programmable. The

Genius™ software tool allows adjusting the linear motor speed (oscillating frequency) and

the upper and lower limits of the oscillation by defining the top and bottom line limit angles.

When the oscillating mirror is programmed to read barcode labels at very small angles,

position the reader to assure at least 10° for the Skew angle (see par. 2.3). This angle refers

to the most inclined or external laser line, so that all other laser lines assure more than 10°

Skew. This avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the reader.

By limiting the raster width to the minimum necessary, the number of

scans on the reading surface is increased.

Oscillating angles are selected in software where the minimum and maximum angles

correspond to –2.5° and +37.5°.

The scanner can be tilted in order for the 17.5° software setting to correspond with the 0°

horizontal plane.

1.7 TYPICAL LAYOUTS

The following typical layout refers to the system hardware configurations, but it also requires

the correct setup of the software configuration parameters (see par. 3.2 for details).

Other layouts require the use of DS6300 scanner having a specific decoder base.

The accessories and cables indicated in the following figures are Datalogic products. We

suggest their use to guarantee the correct system functioning.

1.7.1 Point-to-Point

Using a Point-to-Point layout, the data is transmitted on the Main interface as well as on the

Auxiliary interface. The Main interface can be selected for RS232 or RS485 full-duplex

communications.

Two different layouts are available according to the DS6300 reader model used for the

connection.

Master/Slave Models

When On-Line operating mode is used, the reader is activated by an External Trigger

(photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone. In the following case, the

signal is passed to the DS6300 by the C-BOX 100, which also supplies the system.

Figure 11 – Point-to-Point for Master/Slave Models

Fieldbus Models

In this case no External Trigger is used and the C-BOX 100 only supplies the reader. The

DS6300 (Ethernet, DeviceNet or Profibus model) is connected to a fieldbus remote Host. It

can be activated by a signal generated by the remote Host or be always active if working in

Automatic operating mode.

1.7.2 Local Lonworks Network

A local Lonworks network allows electrically connecting a DS6300 master reader up to 31

DS6300 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. For example, the On Line operating mode, (see Genius™ Help On-Line for

further details), typically supports a maximum number of 8 slave readers.

Whenever creating your network, always keep in mind the following guidelines:

• the network electrically supports a maximum number of 31 DS6300 readers and may

extend up to 130 m (426.5 ft);

• the maximum number of DS6300 readers supported depends on the type of power

propagation adopted by the system (see par. 2.2.6 for details).

Contact Datalogic S.p.A., if your network requires a higher number of readers or in case the

application throughput is very high.

When building the network, the DS6300 master reader must be connected to a local host

computer or a C-BOX 100 by means of a cable connected to the 25 D-sub male connector.

The local Lonworks 9-pin female connector connects the master reader to the first slave

reader of the system, while the local Lonworks 9-pin male connector must be properly

terminated by inserting the BTK-6000 terminator.

The slave readers are connected together through the local Lonworks connectors. Only the

9-pin female connector of the last slave reader must be terminated by the BTK-6000

terminator.

Single P.S.

The presence sensor is connected to the C-BOX 100 and is unique to the system. There is

only a single reading phase and a single message from the master reader to the Local Host.

The On-Line operating mode is used for this layout.
