Rapid Configuration
Step 1 - Connect the System
The paragraphs in this step show a typical hardware setup depending on the
Matrix 120 model and interface selection. Several other layouts are described in
Running H/F 1.
Ethernet Connections
To connect the system in an Ethernet point-to-point configuration, you need the
hardware indicated in Figure 1 -. In this layout the data is transmitted to the
Host from the Matrix 120 on-board Ethernet interface by using a CAB-ETH-M0x
cable. There is no need to use a crossover adapter since Matrix 120 incorporates
an autocross function.
Matrix 120 power and I/O device connections take place through the CBX
connection box using the CAB-1011 accessory cable.
When One Shot or Phase Mode Operating mode is used, the reader is activated by
an External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading
zone.

NOTE
Rapid Configuration of the Matrix 120 reader can be made either through the X-
PRESS™ interface (steps 3) which requires no PC connection, or by using the DL.CODE
Configuration Program (steps 5-6). Select the procedure according to your needs.
Step 3 - X-PRESS Configuration
The Matrix 120 models are factory calibrated at three focus positions (45, 70
and 125 mm for WVGA models; 45, 80 and 125 mm for MP models). Using a 2.5
mm Hex key (Allen wrench), rotate the Focus Adjustment Screw at the back of
the reader to one of these three positions for your application.
Refer to the Reading Diagrams in Chapter 6, Reading Features, which show the
reading ranges at the different focus positions for Code 128 (1D) and Data
Matrix (2D) codes.
Focus/Aiming
Matrix 120 devices provide a built-in aiming system to aid reader positioning.
The aiming system is accessed through the X-PRESS Interface.
1. Power the reader on. During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), all
the LEDs blink for one second. On the connector side of the reader near the
cable, the “POWER ON” LED (blue) indicates the reader is correctly powered.
2. Enter the Focus/Aim function by pressing and holding the X-PRESS push
button until the Aim LED is on.
3. Release the button to enter the Aim function. The aiming system turns on
see .
4. Place an application specific code in front of the reader at the reading dis-
tance indicated for your model as described above, centering it a few mm to
the left of the aiming system indicator as shown below.
5. Exit the Aim function by pressing the X-PRESS push button once. The aim-
ing system turns off.
CAUTION
Do not rotate the Focus Adjustment Screw beyond the focus scale limits otherwise
damage can occur to the focus mechanism.

advantages:
•
Intuitive Graphical User Interface for rapid configuration
•
Defined configuration directly stored in the reader
•
Discovery and IP address setting features to facilitate remote configuration
•
Device Monitoring
•
Device Driver Installation
To install DL.CODE:
1. On the PC that will be used for configuration (running Windows XP SP3, 7, 8, or
10), download the DL.CODE mini-DVD.zip file. Extract the files maintaining
the folder structure and run the start.hta file to access the installation pop-up.
Click on the Install DL.CODE link to run the installation program and follow the
installation procedure.
2. When the installation is complete the DL.CODE entry is created in the
Start>Programs bar under “Datalogic” as well as a desktop icon. Double-
click the desktop icon to run it.
Depending on your Matrix 120 model, you can connect to DL.CODE
configuration environment through one of the following interfaces:
CAUTION
DL.CODE does not currently support Windows Embedded (often used in industrial PCs
and/or PLCs).
NOTE
To configure Serial + USB model devices, check the appropriate Matrix USB Driver
and/or RS232 Serial Port Driver installation boxes in the Welcome window of the
DL.CODE Installer. In this case it is recommended to reboot the PC after DL.CODE
installation.

a. All devices can be configured through their Main Serial port. However,
through this interface, configuration is slower than the Ethernet or USB
interfaces and presents some limitations. It is recommended to use the
Serial interface for configuration only if the other interfaces are not avail-
able.
STEP 4C
Step 4A - Ethernet Device Discovery
The following configuration procedure assumes that a laptop computer running
DL.CODE is connected to a factory default reader through the Ethernet port. See
Step 1 - Connect the System.
The User Interface opens and displays a list of all the devices belonging to the
Local Area Network. DL.CODE has a discovery feature to accomplish this task.
Figure 10 - Device Discovery
The discovery feature will also show devices not belonging to the LAN and
display them in gray (see Figure 10 -).
1. First the device must be added to the LAN by aligning its IP Address to the
network. The network administrator should provide valid LAN address(es).
2. Find your device in the list by matching its serial number (SN) then click on
the device wrench icon to open the Device Environment Configuration win-
dow.
3. Change the Ethernet Settings (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway Address
etc.) according to the network requirements.
Step 4 - Installing DL.CODE Configuration Program
Product Reference Guide

Figure 11 - Device Environment Configuration Window
4. Click OK; the device will reappear in the list of Online Devices (in color)
meaning it is now part of the LAN and can be configured. The new IP
address will also be displayed.
5. Double-click on or drag the device icon into the Selected Device Informa-
tion Area. Details about the device will be displayed in this area.
Figure 12 - DL.CODE Opening Window
NOTE
After device discovery, configure your device through DL.CODE as described in Step 5 -
Device Configuration.
Step 4 - Installing DL.CODE Configuration Program
Product Reference Guide

Step 4B - USB Device Discovery
The following configuration procedure assumes that a laptop computer running
DL.CODE is connected to a Matrix 120 factory default reader through the USB
port (CAB-1021). See Step 1 - Connect the System.
1. After the reader is connected to the USB port and boots up successfully,
from DL.CODE, click the Getting Started button to discover it. The unit will
be shown in the network Online Devices list. Matrix 120 devices connected
through the USB interface will not be shown in the Serial Devices list.
2. Find your device in the list by matching its serial number (SN). The USB
driver creates a virtual Ethernet connection with an IP address that cannot
be modified. In fact, it is easy to see the unit in the list because it is the one
without a wrench icon (used for modifying the IP parameters).
NOTE
USB device discovery on a PC using Windows XP SP3 requires particular attention.
See "Windows XP SP3 and Matrix 120 USB Interface" on page 150 for more infor-
mation.
3. Double-click on or drag the device icon into the Selected Device Informa-
tion Area. Details about the device will be displayed in this area.
NOTE
After device discovery, configure your device through DL.CODE as described in Step 5 -
Device Configuration.

Step 4C - Serial Device Discovery
Starting from DL.CODE 1.4.0, serial port communication is supported for device
discovery and configuration. This allows dedicated serial communication models
to be configured through DL.CODE.
This feature is not enabled by default, so the first thing to do is to enable it
through the UI Settings window.
NOTE
Although this feature allows all devices to be configured through their Serial Inter-
face, be aware that transmission speeds and some DL.CODE features are limited
when using this interface. It is always advised to use the Ethernet interface whenever
possible.
NOTE
If you’re not sure of the Serial baud rate you can also check the Enable Automatic
Device Discovery box which for serial devices will try communication at all baud rates,
but only at No parity, 8 data bits;1 stop bit.
Enabling this parameter can notably lengthen Discovery time, therefore in general it
is better to disable it to increase Discovery efficiency.
1. From the main menu open the
Options>UI Settings window.
2. Click on the Global Settings menu
and scroll down to the Find Devices
tab.
3. Check the Enable Serial Device Dis-
covery box. Scroll down to see the
following selections.
4. Select
the

Digimarc Barcode is a technology for product packaging and labeling that
enables encoding a Global Trade Identification Number (GTIN) imperceptibly into
artwork prior to printing. The GTIN carried by Digimarc Barcode is the same as a
traditional GTIN typically found in a product’s UPC/EAN barcode.
Digimarc Barcode is designed to be redundantly spread throughout an entire
product package or printed material. This enables easy, reliable optical capture
without interfering with design aesthetics.

DWCODE™ is the name that GS1 US and GS1 Germany use to describe a Digimarc
Barcode data carrier. A DWCODE includes the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN),
i.e. a globally unique number used to identify trade items, products or services.
This number is typically found in barcodes such as Universal Product Code (UPC)
or European Article Number (EAN).
The process of incorporating a Digimarc Barcode data carrier into artwork is
referred to as enhancement. Thanks to this process, Digimarc Barcode is
imperceptible to the human eye but detectable to enabled camera-based
scanners and mobile applications.

Matrix 120 is able to decode code labels at a variety of angles. However,
significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.
When mounting Matrix 120, take into consideration these ideal label position
angles: Pitch or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°.
Note: Since Matrix 120 is omni-directional on the code plane, the Pitch and Skew
angles have the same significance with respect to the code plane. However, in
some advanced code reading applications performance can be improved by
modifying the Skew angle.
The Pitch, Skew and Tilt angles are represented in Figure 32 -. Follow the
suggestions below for the best orientation.
Position the reader in order to avoid the direct reflection of the light emitted by
the Matrix 120 reader; it is advised to assure at least 10° for the Skew angle.
Figure 32 - Code Reading Orientation
In some cases, such as low contrast or low illumination, it can be useful to use a
Pitch or Skew angle = 0°.
The Tilt angle is also represented in Figure 33 -. Matrix 120 can read labels with
any tilt angle. Keep in mind however, that since linear barcodes are rectangular,
the reader should be aligned to fit them into the horizontal FOV.

CBX Electrical Connections
All Matrix 120 models can be connected to a CBX connection box through the
CAB-1011 accessory cable. This accessory cable terminates in an M12 17-pin
connector on the Matrix 120 side and in a 25-pin male D-sub connector on the
CBX side.
We recommend making system connections through one of the CBX connection
boxes since they offer the advantages of easy connection, easy device
replacement, opto-isolated inputs (External Trigger and Input 2) and outputs
(Outputs 1 and 2), and filtered reference signals.
The table below gives the pinout of the CBX100/500 terminal block connectors.
Use this pinout when the Matrix 120 reader is connected by means of the
CBX100/500:
CAUTION
Do not use CAB-DSxx-S accessory cables with Matrix 120.
NOTE
If you require direct wiring to the reader the connections are the same as shown in
Appendix A.

It is recommended to connect the device CHASSIS to earth ground (Earth) by
setting the appropriate jumper in the CBX connection box. See the CBX
Installation Manual for details.
Main Serial Interface
The signals relative to the following serial interface types are available on the
CBX spring clamp terminal blocks.
The main serial interface type and its parameters (baud rate, data bits, etc.) can
be defined by the user via DL.CODE software. For more details refer to the Help
On Line page of the Reading Phase step (Channels) in DL.CODE.
Details regarding the connections and use of the interfaces are given in the next
paragraphs.
This interface can also be used for configuration through DL.CODE, see Step 4C
- Serial Device Discovery.
RS232 Interface
The RS232 interface is generally used for Point-to-Point connections. When it is
connected to the host computer it allows transmission of code data.
The following pins are used for RS232 interface connection:
It is always advisable to use shielded cables. The overall maximum cable length
must be less than 15 m (49.2 ft).
CAUTION
Do not connect to the Main Interface spring clamp terminals if using Host Interface Mod-
ules (Fieldbus) with the CBX500.

Inputs
There are two opto-isolated polarity insensitive inputs available when the reader
is connected to the CBX: Input 1 (External Trigger) and Input 2, a generic input:
The External Trigger can be used in One Shot Mode or in Phase Mode. Its main
functions are:
•
acquisition trigger in One Shot Mode
•
reading phase-ON/reading phase-OFF command in Phase Mode
The main functions of the general purpose Input 2 are:
•
second external trigger in Phase Mode
•
match code storage command when the Match Code option is enabled
The electrical features of both inputs are:
VAB = 30 Vdc max.
IIN = 12 mA (CAB-1011) + 12 mA (CBX) max.
The active state of these inputs are selected in software.
NOTE
For applications that do not use RS422 transmission to the reader (terminal block RX+
and RX- signals), do not leave these lines floating but connect them to SGND as
shown below.
CAUTION
When Inputs 1 and 2 are connected through the CBX connection box, they become opto-
isolated and polarity insensitive and acquire the electrical characteristics listed below. To
function correctly, they require setting the Input Line Type configuration parameters to
NPN for the respective input. The hardware connection to the CBX can be either NPN or
PNP.
Product Reference Guide
59
An anti-disturbance filter, by default, is implemented in software on both inputs.
The value can be changed through the software parameter Debounce Filter. See
the Help On Line page of the Reading Phase step (Inputs) in DL.CODE for further
details on these parameters.
The connections are indicated in the following diagrams:
The yellow Trigger LED (Figure 15 -, 5) is on when the active state of the External
Trigger corresponds to ON.

By default, Output 1 is associated with the No Read event, which activates when
the code(s) signaled by the external trigger are not decoded, and Output 2 is
associated with the Good Read event, which activates when all the selected codes
are correctly decoded.
The output signals are fully programmable being determined by the configured
Activation/Deactivation events, Deactivation Timeout or a combination of the
two. Refer to the DL.CODE parameters Help On Line for further details.

On-Board Ethernet Interface
Product Reference Guide
67
On-Board Ethernet Interface
For Ethernet models, the on-board Ethernet Interface can be used for TCP/IP
communication with a remote or local host computer by connecting the reader to
either a LAN or directly to a host PC. There is no need to use a crossover adapter
since Matrix 120 incorporates an auto-cross function.
A CAB-ETH-M0x cable can be used to connect to a LAN.
On the Matrix 120 on-board Ethernet interface the following communication
channels are available:
•
TCP Client
•
TCP Server
•
UDP Channel
•
FTP Client
The following Fieldbus protocols are also available over the on-board Ethernet
interface:
•
EtherNet/IP
•
PROFINET IO
•
Modbus TCP Client
For further details refer to the Help On Line page of the Reading Phase step
(Channels) and (Fieldbuses) in DL.CODE.

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.
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 Matrix 120
incorporates an autocross function.
Figure 50 - Ethernet Point-to-Point Layout
CAUTION
Matrix 120 readers do not have Auxiliary Serial interfaces. Therefore, neither data
monitoring nor device configuration ca be performed through this interface.
Matrix 120 devices can be configured in DL.CODE through the Ethernet, Main Serial, or
USB interfaces depending on the device model.

In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the main serial interface. The
Ethernet interface can be used for reader configuration by connecting a laptop
computer running DL.CODE.
Data can be transmitted on the RS232 auxiliary interface independently from the
main interface selection to monitor data.
When One Shot or Phase Mode operating mode is used, the reader can be acti-
vated by an External Trigger (for example a pulse from a photoelectric sensor)
when the object enters its reading zone.

Fieldbus Connection
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 (i.e. BM300 Profibus or BM400
DeviceNet).
Other I/O devices connected to the CBX can be controlled from the Filedbus Host
through the Matrix reader.
When One Shot or Phase Mode operating mode is used, the reader can be acti-
vated by an External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its
reading zone.
Figure 53 - Fieldbus Interface Point-to-Point Layout
CAUTION
Matrix 120 readers do not have Auxiliary Serial interfaces. Therefore, neither data
monitoring nor device configuration ca be performed through this interface.
Once the Matrix 120 device is configured in DL.CODE for HMS Fieldbus communica-
tion, the Main Serial channel is no longer available.
Therefore, it is recommended to make these configurations when connected to
DL.CODE through either the Ethernet interface (using CAB-ETH-Mxx) or the USB inter-
face (using CAB-1021).

The pass-through layout allows each device 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. Many devices reading independently can send their
messages through a common output channel which instead of being directed at
a Host can be collected by another device on its pass-through input channel and
sent to a Host on a different output channel.
Figure 54 - Pass-Through Layout
In a Pass-through layout each device supports multiple pass-through configura-
tions to accept input from different devices on different channels (i.e. middle
reader above). However, readers are not required to have a pass-through config-
uration if they don’t need to receive data from an input channel (i.e. right reader
above). The overall data collection device always has at least one pass-through
configuration to collect the input data from the other devices and send it to the
Host (i.e. left reader above).
All devices always support multiple output channels (i.e. for data monitoring).
In a Pass-through layout each device can have a different operating mode: Con-
tinuous, One Shot, Phase Mode, etc.

Reading Diagrams
•
The following reading diagrams are to be considered as references and are
given for typical performance at 25°C using high quality grade A symbols:
Code 128 (1D code) and Data Matrix ECC 200 (2D code) from the Test
Charts available in the SW-DOCS-TEST CHARTS accessory (93ACC0148).
•
Testing should be performed with the actual Matrix 120 using application
codes in order to evaluate whether maximizing application performance
requires adjustments to the HW/SW configuration with respect to the Refer-
ence Conditions given under each diagram.
•
The ratio of the Vertical FOV width with respect to the Horizontal FOV width
in the diagrams depends on the models:
- for WVGA it is about equal to 0.64; specifically 480/752. (e.e. FOVV.
FOVH x 0.64);
- for MP it is about equal to 0.75; specifically 960/1280. (e.e. FOVV.
FOVH x 0.75).
•
The reading distance ranges are measured from the reading window sur-
face.
•
Common software parameter settings:
- reading all 1D code symbologies - Processing Mode=Standard;
- reading 2D code symbologies - Processing Mode=Standard; Code
Contrast=Low; Decoding Complexity=Medium.
•
When defining a HW/SW configuration for the Matrix 120 for conditions dif-
ferent from those of the reference diagrams, it is suggested to keep in mind
the following rules:
- Changes in Exposure Time act directly proportional to the lumi-
nosity of the image and inversely proportional to the maximum code
reading movement speed. Consequently, reducing the Exposure
Time by half reduces the luminosity of the image by half but doubles
the theoretical code reading movement speed.
- Changes in Gain act directly proportional to the luminosity of the
image. However, increasing the Gain value can reduce the quality of
the acquired image.
•
The max. theoretical Line Speed values for each diagram can be calculated
using the formula in Chapter 6, Maximum Line Speed and Exposure Time
Calculations.
