1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The DS8110 barcode scanner complete with decoder is designed to provide an innovative and high performance solution in omnidirectional reading applications by combining the following advanced technologies with Datalogic solid experience in the material handling sector. Some of the main features of the DS8110 are listed below:  Scanning speed 1000 scans/sec  Reads all popular codes  Supply voltage from 20 to 30 vdc  Test mode to verify the reading features and exact positioning of the scanner without the need for external tools  Programmable in several different operating modes to suit the most various barcode reading system requirements  Light source: solid state laser diodes; the light emitted has a wave length between 630~680 nm. For laser safety precautions refer to the “compliance” section at the beginning of this manual 1.2 APPLICATIONS The DS8110 barcode scanners are specifically designed for industrial applications and for all cases requiring high reading performance such as:  Code reconstruction (ACR™)  Reading of codes covered by plastic film  Reading of codes with a wide depth of field  Reading codes within a wide field of view  Reading of high resolution codes positioned at long distances from the reader  Code reading on fast moving objects These barcode scanners are designed for both single-reader layouts and multi-reader layouts. For typical layouts, see section 5.8.

DS8110 REFERENCE MANUAL

2 1 Feature Benefit DST Digital Signal Technology converts analog signals to digital before processing for much improved decoding capability especially on poorly printed or damaged codes. ACR™ Fifth generation 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. PACKTRACK™ Second generation 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. ASTRA™ Third generation Automatically SwiTched Reading Area is the 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 DS8110 in any working area. Reading parcels on conveyors As a result of the ASTRA multiple laser technology, DX8210 and DS8110 give a great real time DOF even on high speed conveyors. Furthermore, DX8210 and DS8110 implement the PackTrack functionality which leads to an increase of the plant production as a result of the augmented system throughput. EBC Ethernet Based Connectivity is a reliable real-time network communication between scanners in a reading station tunnel or array. e-Genius e-Genius is a browser-based User Interface with the following characteristics:  No software to install;  Multilanguage platform;  All the configuration parameters stored in the scanner;  Not dependent on the Physical interface; Remote access through local network. Energy Saving A software parameter group which allows management of the energy saving feature. In particular, it allows turning on/off the motor and laser of all network scanners according to the selected digital input, encoder, or communication channel. The time required to restart the system is less than 1 minute independently from the number of scanners connected. It is suggested to use this parameter for example when the conveyor is stopped for a lengthy period.

1.7 PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR

The optional Datalogic Photoelectric Sensor is used in DX8210 barcode scanner systems to detect the presence of an item in the scanning area. The photoelectric sensor is used in singulated systems where the packages are separated by an open space between the trailing edge of one package and the leading edge of the next. The photoelectric sensor, along with the encoder, enables a programmable transmit point at a defined distance from the sensor. Without the photoelectric sensor, the barcode scanner can be run in continuous mode. See 4.5.1 Modify Settings | Global Settings | Operating Mode. Depending on the application, these devices may need to be configured differently. While the photoelectric sensor and tachometer work well with belt conveyors, a special configuration is needed for tilt-tray and cross-belt sorter applications. See section 3.11 for wiring options.

46 3 3.15 GROUNDING In order to avoid any problems with electrical noise that could negatively affect system function, make sure that: 1. The AC power cable coming into the PWR box is always provided with a Ground and connected to the proper connector (Protective Earth - PE). 2. The structure where the readers, controllers, encoders/tachometers, and photoelectric sensors are mounted is grounded to the conveyor or to the PE terminal inside the PWR. 3. The Shield wires from the Encoder/Tachometer and photoelectric sensor cables are connected to the proper Shield terminal in the CBX box. 4. Normally, steps 1 through 3 will guarantee proper function. In case of problems such as transmission of strange or wrong characters, devices stop working without any reason, or other unexpected behavior, try connecting the CBX or Controller Earth terminal to the PE terminal inside the PWR box. 0.

66 4 Field Name Action/Definition Mode Setting Code Filter Select Disable, Timeout, Encoder Steps, or Tx Line from the On Line Options drop-down list. This parameter determines criteria for flushing entries from the code filtering list depending on the type of list management:  The Code Filter Depth parameter, when not = 0, manages a FIFO (First In First Out) list of codes which are compared for filtering. The Timeout and Encoder Steps values are in addition to the cyclical flushing of entries when the FIFO list depth is exceeded.  When Code Filter is set to Tx Line an internal list is managed where each entry is flushed when the Tx Line distance is exceeded. The application program inherently compares codes based on content and code length. Each Code Filter criteria has its own relative value parameter.  Disable: No additional criteria are applied. If code filtering is enabled through the Code Filter Depth parameter, the FIFO list is only modified by new code entries (FIFO list depth exceeded).  Timeout: A timeout measured in milliseconds is also applied to each code entry. The current code entry will be flushed from the list when the timeout expires.  Encoder Steps: a threshold measured in encoder steps is also applied to each code entry. The current code entry will be flushed from the list when the number of encoder steps is exceeded.  Tx Line: The distance measured in mm to the transmit line is applied to each code entry. The current code entry will be flushed from the list when the distance in mm is exceeded. When Tx Line is selected, all the networked scanners must have been calibrated using PackTrack (See section 5.6 PackTrack). NOTE: When Code Filter = Tx Line: The Code Filter Depth parameter is no longer available because the application program manages an internal list which depends solely on the number of codes decoded before the Tx Line is reached. Any code which is determined to be identical to a code in the list by comparing the filter conditions will be discarded, and to increase precision the code in the list will have its x, y, z position coordinates adjusted as the average between the two readings.

x=x1+x2/2 , y=y1+y2/2 , z=z1+z2/2

Code Filter Depth In Continuous mode, Code Filter Depth is used to avoid multiple reads of the same code. The entered value (other than zero) defines the number of codes to memorize in a FIFO (First In First Out) list. When a code is read, it is compared to the list. The application program inherently compares codes based on content and code length. If the list contains a code identical to the current code being read, the current code is discarded. If not, the current code is accepted and added to the list in the first position; the remaining codes in the list are shifted. If the list is full the oldest code in the list will be flushed. When = 0, there is no FIFO list and there is no filtering. Selection: a value from 0 to 127 Example: Code Filter Depth = 3 List Code Read Accepted xxx (no codes in list) A Yes Axx B Yes BAx B No BAx C Yes CBA D Yes DCB A Yes ADC A No Filter Number of Encoder Steps Enter a number of encoder steps from 1 to 15000. This parameter sets the number of Encoder Steps after which the FIFO (First In First Out) list entry is flushed. Replicate same code when symbologies don't match Select the check box to enable a further code filter condition according to which a read code is added to the list or discarded. This parameter is available if the Code Filter Depth value is other than zero or if the Code Filter value is Tx Line. In addition to the inherent content and code length comparison, this parameter compares the code type (symbology). If the current code being read is identical to any code contained in the list by: content, length and type, the current code is discarded. If not, the current code is accepted and added to the list in the first position; the remaining codes in the list are shifted. If the list is full the oldest code in the list will be flushed.

NOTE: Tracking starts 10 cm [4 inches] before and stops 10 cm [4 inches] after the Reading Area in order to ensure the barcode is assigned to the correct package. PS Line This parameter defines the read signal Y coordinate (mm) referred to the origin of co-ordinates used for PackTrack configuration (see below). Example:

Enter the minimum length of a pack in the space provided

(mm [in]). Minimum Distance Error Behavior Select Ignore Error, Compose, or Discard Last from the drop- down list.  Ignore Error: the error is ignored  Compose: Enter the Minimum Distance Between Packages in the field provided.  Discard Last: discards all received packages Minimum Distance Between Packages Enter the minimum distance (mm, in) between consecutive packages. This field is only available when Compose or Discard Last is selected for the Minimum Distance Error Behavior. Window Dimension Enter a Window Dimension in the field provided. The measurement of a barcode position in absolute coordinates performed by the scanners may be affected by an error. PackTrack evaluation can fail in assigning the barcode for this reason. With the Window Dimension parameter, the Y coordinates that delimit the pack can be virtually extended to improve the assigning success rate (see the following figure). If the minimum distance between two consecutive packs is less than twice the value of the Window Dimension, the window is dynamically resized (dynamic window) to half the distance between the two packs.

To edit the Barcode Configuration: 1. In the tree menu under Modify Settings, navigate to Global Settings | Barcode Configuration. The Barcode Configuration window opens. 2. Enter the appropriate information in the form as described below: Field Name Action/Definition Code Combination Select Single Label, Standard Multi Label, Logical Combination, or Code Collection from the drop-down list. The Code Combination parameter selects the decoding mode for the scanner.  Single Label: In this mode only one barcode can be read in each reading phase; however it can be determined automatically from up to 10 enabled codes. The scanner stops decoding as soon as a code is read. If the code is not read during the reading phase, the No Read message is produced.  Standard Multi Label: In Multi Label mode the barcodes selected (up to 10), will all be read in the same reading phase. If the reading phase terminates before all the codes are read, a Global No Read message will be produced, unless it is disabled, in which case a Local No Read will be produced. NOTE: In case of Multi Label, the codes will be distinguished EITHER by their symbology, OR by their contents. If two (or more) codes share the same symbology and content, the scanner will perceive them as a unique code.  Logical Combination: In Logical Combination mode the codes of the groups defined by the Logical Combination Rule are read in the same reading phase.  Code Collection: In Code Collection mode expected codes are collected within a single reading phase in the order in which they are read. The No Read message is produced only if none of the codes are read. Up to 50 codes can be collected.

80 4 Field Name Action/Definition Multi Filters Select the check box to display the Multi-Filter Settings options. Multi-Filter Settings Contained Filter Select the check box to reveal the Max Number of Different Characters field. When checked, this filter attempts to eliminate false multiple reads by determining if a short code read is "contained in" (is a sub-string of), another longer code read. This condition implicates that the short code is probably a misread of the same longer code and therefore should be ignored, (should not be considered as a multiple read of a different code). This filter is based upon the following rules:  a multiple read condition occurs  all decoded codes of the same type are compared with each other Rule 1: the shorter code is considered contained in the longer code if the character string is found in the same order; the longer code may have a single block of characters in any position (before, after or in between the compared strings) Example: The code 123456 is considered contained in the following codes: 00123456, 12345600, 12378456. The code 123456 is not considered contained in the following codes: 12346507 (string out of order), 12345700 (string not complete), 120378456 or 0012345600 (multiple blocks in the string). Rule 2: the shorter code is not filtered by rule 1. In the longer code, all possible sub- strings of the same length as the shorter code string are compared with the shorter code string. The shorter code is considered contained in the longer code if the number of different characters between the compared codes is less than or equal to the Max Number of Different Characters. The shorter code will be filtered by rule 2. Example: If Max Number of Different Characters = 1: The code 123456 is considered contained in the following codes: 12305600, 00123056, 8812305688 because there is only one different character in the compared string. The code 123456 is not considered contained in 123066789 because there are two different characters in the compared string. CAUTION: If the Contained Filter parameter is used when Message Tx Selection (see section 3) is set to On Decoding, the filter conditions may be satisfied before the reading phase ends resulting in possible successive multiple read errors.

Field Name Action/Definition

Max Number of Different Characters Enter a value from 0 to 5 in the field provided to define the maximum number of different characters allowed to still consider a code as being included in another one and therefore to be filtered. If the number of different characters between the compared codes exceeds the value of this parameter, the codes are considered as different and will not be filtered (a multiple read of a different code occurs). If the number of different characters between the compared codes is less than or equal to the value of this parameter, the short code is considered as a sub-string of the longer code and will be filtered (no multiple read occurs). Examples: If Max Number of Different Characters = 2: The code 123456 read once, is considered the same as the following codes read multiple times: 133056, 123546, 123457 because there are two or less different characters by position in the compared codes. The code 123456 read once, is not considered the same as the following codes read multiple times: 153246, 103057, 654321 because there are at least three different characters by position in the compared codes. Voting Filter Select the check box to reveal the Max Number of Different Characters field. When checked, this filter attempts to eliminate false multiple reads by comparing the number of different characters by position between two codes of the same type and length. This condition implicates that reading a code of the same type and length having very few different characters is probably a misread of the code itself and therefore the code read the least number of times should be ignored, (should not be considered as a multiple read of a different code). This filter is based upon the following rules:  a multiple read condition occurs;  the two codes are of the same type;  the two codes have the same length;  the number of different characters by position is equal to or less than the number defined by the Max Number of Different Characters parameter;  Message Tx Selection (see section 3) must be set to After Reading Phase Off. Filter Out Low Height Codes Select the check box to reveal the Minimum Readings Difference Between Scanners field. Background: This option was developed for the airports systems where there are often tall bar height codes and low bar height codes with the same content attached to baggage. Travelers will often remove the large, tall bar height code, while leaving the smaller, low bar height codes attached to the bag. The next time they travel they may have multiple low bar height codes on their baggage plus the new tall bar height and low bar height codes for the new trip. This option instructs the system to ignore low bar height codes, which are likely read only once or twice, in favor of tall bar height codes, which will likely be read multiple times. This is used in tunnel applications where multiple barcodes are read and there is a need to filter out one of the barcodes. If less than x number of scanners read the barcode, then it will be considered a NOREAD for that code.

No Read Message Select Disable No Read Message, Global No Read Message, or Local No Read(s) Message from the drop-down list. The No Read condition occurs whenever a code cannot be read or decoded.  Disable No Read Message: The No Read Message is not transmitted.  Global No Read Message: The No Read String will be sent if the scanner is unable to decode one or more barcodes in the reading phase.  Local No Read(s) Message: This option is useful when one or more codes are not read in the reading phase or when more codes than the expected number set by the configuration parameters are read. If working in Standard Multi Label mode, this option activates the Code Label Local No Read String and the Code Label Local Multiple Read String parameters which allow setting a Local No Read String and a Local Multiple string for each defined code symbology. Use 'Global No Read String' when No Codes Read Select the check box to allow the Global No Read String to be used if no codes at all are read. This option is not available when Global No Read Message is selected from the No Read Message drop-down list.
