STEP 2 – MOUNTING AND POSITIONING THE SYSTEM

1. To mount the Matrix-2000™, use the mounting bracket to obtain the most suitable position for the reader as shown in the figures below.

Figure 2 - Positioning with Mounting Bracket

2. When mounting the Matrix-2000™ take into consideration these three ideal label position angles: Pitch or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°, although the reader can read a code at any Tilt angle.

Minimize Assure at least 10° Minimize

Figure 3 – Pitch, Skew and Tilt Angles

3. Refer to the Reading Features in chp. 7 to determine the distance your reader should be

positioned at.

STEP 3 – AUTOLEARNING CONFIGURATION

An autolearning procedure is available to reduce installation time.

Status and diagnostic information are clearly presented by means of four colored LEDs, whereas the single push button and F1 and

F2 LEDs give immediate access to the following relevant functions:

•

•

Positioning (F1) gives visual feedback from the F1 LED to help center the code in the reader's FOV without external tools or software programs

Auto Learn (F2) to self-detect and auto-configure calibration and code setting parameters

• Restore Default (F3) to return to factory default settings

The colors and meaning of the four status LEDs are illustrated in the following table:

PWR (red) This LED indicates the device is powered

TRIG (yellow) This LED indicates the external trigger activity

READ (red)

COM (green)

This LED confirms successful reading. It is also used to signal successful startup. At power on this LED turns on and after a few seconds turns off. If the startup is not successful, this

LED remains on.

This LED indicates active communication on the main serial port (Ethernet port for 21xx models). This LED is also software configurable.

Auto Learn

If you are configuring your reader using the Auto Learn procedure:

1. Place the desired code in front of the reader at the correct reading distance (depending

on the model, see the Reading Features table in chp 7).

2. Enter the Auto Learn function (F2) by pressing and holding the push button until only the

F2 LED is on: Matrix-2000™ also beeps twice.

3. Release the button to enter the Auto Learn function.

Once entered, the reader acquires an image and automatically configures the optimal

Exposure Time and Gain parameters for static reading, as well as detecting and recognizing the code, which is presented to it. The F2 LED blinks during this process.

4. At the end of the procedure, the new configuration parameters will be stored to permanent memory, the F2 LED remains on continuously and then the function automatically exits, the F2 LED turns off. Matrix-2000™ also emits 3 high pitched beeps.

If the Auto Learn calibration cannot be reached within a short timeout (max. 1 minute),

Matrix-2000™ will exit without saving the configuration parameters, the F2 LED will not remain on continuously but it will just stop blinking. In this case, Matrix-2000™ emits a long low pitched beep.

To cancel the Auto Learn function without saving the configuration parameters, press and hold the keypad button at any time during the procedure: the F2 LED will stop blinking and

Matrix-2000™ will emit a long low pitched beep.

NOTE

Autolearning configuration parameters can be saved to temporary memory only by selecting the "Autolearning Setup>Store Memory" parameter in

VisiSet™.

The Autolearning function on the keypad button can also be disabled by the user via VisiSet™.

Auto Learn (F2) green

Figure 4 – Auto Learn Function

Repeat the procedure if needed, to program different code symbologies, however you must present only one code at a time to the reader.

Matrix-2000™ is able to decode any code symbology in its library with this procedure.

NOTE

If your application has been configured using Auto Learn, your reader is ready.

If necessary you can use VisiSet™ for advanced reader configuration.

Positioning (Optional)

At the end of the Auto Learn procedure, you can use the Positioning procedure to center the code with respect to the reader's FOV.

1. While the desired code is in front of the reader at the correct reading distance, enter the

Positioning function (F1) by pressing and holding the push button until only the F1 LED is on: Matrix-2000™ also beeps once.

2. Release the button to enter the Positioning function.

Once entered, the reader continuously acquires images and gives visual feedback using the F1 LED to indicate when the code is centered with respect to the reader's FOV. Slow blinking means that the positioning value must be improved.

3. To obtain the best value in terms of positioning, move the code and/or the reader so as to position the code as close as possible to the center of the Field of View, keeping the correct focus distance. Check F1 LED blinking: the best code positioning corresponds to fast (almost continuous) blinking.

4. After a short timeout the function automatically exits, the F1 LED remains on continuously and then stops blinking. Matrix-2000™ also emits 3 high pitched beeps.

If no valid code is present in the FOV, after about 3 minutes, Matrix-2000™ will automatically exit, the F1 LED will not remain on continuously but it will just stop blinking. In this case,

Matrix-2000™ emits a long low pitched beep.

2.5.1 External Lighting Systems

In some direct part marking applications best reading results are obtained by using an external lighting system. A series of accessory illuminators are available which cover a variety of applications.

The LT-100 Cone Lighting System provides a circular symmetrical light source designed for the following applications:

•

•

• with uneven or noisy background surfaces where dot peening or laser etching codes are directly marked onto metal surfaces or

PCBs and need to be highlighted in the presence of highly reflective surfaces (metal, glass, etc.) causing direct reflections

Figure 21 - LT-100 Cone Lighting System

The LT-200 Spot Lighting System provides a high intensity light source designed for the following applications:

•

• with uneven, noisy and scratched surfaces

• where dot peening or laser etching codes are directly marked onto metal surfaces or

PCBs and need to be highlighted. Here the use of more than one Spot Light can remove any shadowing effect. in the presence of highly reflective surfaces (metal, glass, etc.) causing direct reflections.

Low light path to surface angles strongly reduce direct reflections.

Matrix-2000 ™ is able to decode code labels at a variety of angles, however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance.

When mounting Matrix-2000 ™, take into consideration these ideal label position angles:

Pitch or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°.

Note: Since Matrix-2000 ™ 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.

Follow the suggestions below for the best orientation:

The Pitch and Skew angles are represented by the values P and S in Figure 57 and in Figure

58. Position the reader in order to avoid the direct reflection of the light emitted by the Matrix-

2000 ™ reader; it is advised to assure at least 10° for one of these angles. In some cases, such as low contrast or low illumination, it can be useful to use a Pitch or Skew angle = 0°.

Figure 57 - Pitch angle

Figure 58 - Skew angle

The Tilt angle is represented by the value T in Figure 59. Matrix-2000

™ can read labels with any tilt angle.

3.6 TYPICAL LAYOUTS

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.

3.6.1 Point-to-Point

In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the Matrix-2000 ™ main serial interface.

The RS232 auxiliary interface can be used for reader configuration by connecting a laptop computer running VisiSet™.

Parameter configuration can always be accomplished using the Matrix-2000 ™ auxiliary interface.

When One Shot or Phase Mode operating mode is used, the reader can be activated by an

External Trigger (for example a pulse from a photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

3.6.3 RS232

The RS232 Master/Slave connection is used to collect data from several readers to build either a multi-point or a multi-sided reading system; there can be one Master and up to 9

Slaves connected together.

The Slave readers use RS232 only on the main and auxiliary serial interfaces. Each Slave transmits the messages received by the auxiliary interface onto the main interface. All messages will be passed through this chain to the Master.

The Master reader is connected to the Host on the main serial interface. The possible main interface types for the Master reader are RS232 or RS485.

In this layout the Master operating mode can be set only to Phase Mode.

The Phase ON/OFF signals must be brought only to the Master. It is not necessary to bring them to the Slave readers.

The main and auxiliary ports are connected as shown in the figure below.

The following examples show some of the typical conditions occurring during the installation:

Under-exposure:

To correct this result it is recommended to change the following parameters in their order of appearance:

1. increase the Exposure Time (x 10 µs)

2. increase the Gain

In general, a longer exposure time corresponds to a lighter image but is susceptible to blurring due to code movement. Exposure time is also limited by the Internal Lighting mode parameter. Longer esposure times

can be set if the power strobe level is lowered.

NOTE

High gain settings may produce a grainy image that may affect the decoding process.

Figure 73 - Example Under Exposure: Too Dark

59

4


Over-exposure:

To correct this result it is recommended to change the following parameters in their order of appearance:

1. decrease the Gain

2. decrease the Exposure Time (x 10 µs)

Figure 74 - Example Over Exposure: Too Light

Moving code out of the Field of View:

To correct this result and have the code completely visible in F.O.V., it is possible to follow one or both the procedures listed below:

• reposition the reader

• use the Acquisition Trigger Delay by tuning the Delay Time (x100µs)

AS9132

Standard defining uniform quality and technical requirements for direct part marking (DPM) using Data Matrix symbologies.

Barcodes (1D Codes)

A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in machine-readable form. The general format of a barcode symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format.

BIOS

Basic Input Output System. A collection of ROM-based code with a standard API used to interface with standard PC hardware.

Bit

Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data. The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.

Bits per Second (bps)

Number of bits transmitted or received per second.

Byte

On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specific character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through

7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in memory can be used to store one ASCII character.

Composite Symbologies

Consist of a linear component, which encodes the item's primary data, and an adjacent 2D composite component, which encodes supplementary data to the linear component.

Dark Field Illumination

Lighting of surfaces at low angles used to avoid direct reflection of the light in the reader’s lens.

Decode

To recognize a barcode symbology (e.g., Codabar, Code 128, Code 3 of 9, UPC/EAN, etc.) and analyze the content of the barcode scanned.
