MATRIX 400™ REFERENCE MANUAL

3. Refer to the Reading Features table in chp. 7 for FOV calculation and minimum
distance requirements according to the base/lens combination used for your
application.

NOTE

Rapid Configuration of the Matrix 400™ reader can be made either through
the X-PRESS™ interface (steps 4-6) which requires no PC connection, or by
using the VisiSet™ Setup Wizard (steps 7-8). Select the procedure according
to your needs.

STEP 4 – FOCUS THE READER
Matrix 400™ provides a built-in tool called Blue Diamonds™ to aid focusing the reader. The
Blue Diamonds™ are accessed through the X-PRESS™ Interface.
1. Remove the lens cover in order to focus the reader.
2. Prepare the correct accessory lens for your application:
a. Loosen the two Locking Knobs on the lens.
b. Adjust the Focus ring to the "Far position" and the Diaphragm ring to the "F4" 1
number setting which is the preferred setting for installation.
3. 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.
4. Enter the Focus function by pressing and holding the X-PRESS™ push button until the
Focus LED is on.
5. Release the button to enter the Focus function. The Blue Diamonds™ turn on.
READY

The procedure is as follows:
A) Adjust the Focus ring towards the "Near position" until
the Blue Diamonds™ are perfectly in focus, see
Figure 8.
At long focal distances a "skew" angle may cause a
noticeable difference in focus between the two
diamonds, in this case select the best possible focus
(both diamonds slightly out of focus).
Tighten the Focus Locking Knob.
B) Tighten the Diaphragm Locking Knob.

7. Replace the lens cover, screwing it tightly to the base.

STEP 5 – CALIBRATE IMAGE DENSITY
In order to function correctly to the fullest extent of its capabilities, Matrix 400™ must acquire
information regarding image density or PPI (pixels per inch). This calibration takes place
through the X-PRESS™ Interface and the Grade A Barcode Test Chart included in the
package. This procedure is necessary for the first time installation, if the lens type is changed
or if the focal distance is changed.

Locate
1. Enter the Focus function by pressing and holding the
X-PRESS™ push button until the Focus LED is on.
2. Release the button to enter the Focus function. The
Blue Diamonds™ turn on.

2.7 APPLICATION EXAMPLES
Matrix 400™ is profitably used in the omnidirectional reading of 2D, stacked, linear and
postal codes for example in automated document handling and mail processing systems
(see Figure 20).

Figure 20 - Address Coded in Datamatrix Symbology for Automated Mail Processing

The Matrix 400™ high resolution image sensors allow the reading of many small codes in a
single image (see 96 vial application in Figure 21).

Figure 21 - 96-Vial Rack

INTRODUCTION

Matrix 400™ assures the reading of deformed and / or overprinted codes, even though
damaged or printed on high reflective surfaces (see Figures 22, 23, 24).

INTRODUCTION

2.8 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 30 - 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.

3.3 MOUNTING AND POSITIONING MATRIX 400™
Using the Matrix 400™ mounting brackets you can obtain rotation on the various axes of the
reader as shown in the diagram below:

Figure 45 –Positioning with Mounting Bracket (Front)

INSTALLATION

Matrix 400™ is able to decode code labels at a variety of angles, however significant angular
distortion may degrade reading performance.
When mounting Matrix 400™, take into consideration these ideal label position angles: Pitch
or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°.
Note: Since Matrix 400™ 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 46 and in Figure
47. Position the reader in order to avoid the direct reflection of the light emitted by the Matrix
400™ 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°.

S
Assure at least 10°

4 CBX ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
All Matrix 400™ models can be connected to a CBX connection box through one of the
available CAB-MSxx accessory cables. These accessory cables terminate in a 19-pin
connector on the Matrix 400™ 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 and filtered
reference signals.
If you require direct wiring to the reader the details of the connector pins and
relative connections are indicated in Chaper 5.

ID-NET™ Cables

The following instructions are referred to Figure 83, Figure 84 and Figure 85.




Cable Shield MUST be connected to earth ground ONLY at the Master.



NEVER use ID-NET™ cable shield as common reference.



The ID-NET™ max cable length depends on the baudrate used, (see the Baudrate Table
below).



For Common Power Connections use only 2 wires (R and P).
DC Voltage Power cable (Vdc – GND) should be handled as a signal cable (i.e. do
not put it together with AC cable):
Wire dimensioning must be checked in order to avoid voltage drops greater than 0.8
Volts.
Cable should lie down as near as possible to the ID-NET™ cable (avoiding wide
loops between them).



Reader's chassis may be connected to earth.



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.

6.1 POINT-TO-POINT
In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the main serial interface. The RS232
auxiliary interface can be used for reader configuration by connecting a laptop computer
running VisiSet™. Host Mode programming can be accomplished either through the main
interface or the Auxiliary interface.
In Local Echo communication mode, data is transmitted on the RS232 auxiliary interface
independently from the main interface selection.
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.

6.2 PASS-THROUGH
Pass-through mode allows two or more devices to be connected to a single external serial
interface.
Each reader transmits the messages received by the Auxiliary interface onto the Main
interface. All messages will be passed through this chain to the host.
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.
Applications can be implemented to connect a device such as a hand-held reader to the
Auxiliary port of the last reader in the chain for manual code reading capability.

This layout is really an ID-NET Master/Slave Multidata layout which also allows each reader
(Master and Slaves) to accept input on the Auxiliary interface, for example to connect a
device such as a hand-held reader for manual code reading capability.
Each Matrix 400™ transmits its own messages plus any messages received by its Auxiliary
interface onto the ID-NET™ interface. The Master passes all messages to the Host.
When One Shot or Phase Mode operating mode is used, the reader can be activated by an
External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

6.3 ID-NET™
The ID-NET™ connection is used to collect data from several readers to build a multi-point or
a multi-sided reading system; there can be one master and up to 31 slaves connected
together.
The slave readers are connected together using the ID-NET™ interface. Every slave reader
must have an ID-NET™ address in the range 1-31.
The master reader is also connected to the Host on the RS232/RS485 main serial interface.
For a Master/Slave Synchronized layout the External Trigger signal is unique to the system;
there is a single reading phase and a single message from the master reader to the Host
computer. It is not necessary to bring the External Trigger signal to all the readers.
In the Master/Slave Synchronized layout the Master operating mode can only be set to
Phase Mode.
The main, auxiliary, and ID-NET™ interfaces are connected as shown in the figure below.

Alternatively, the Master reader can communicate to the Host as a Slave node on a Fieldbus
network. This requires using an accessory Fieldbus interface board installed inside the
CBX500 connection box.
System configuration can be accomplished through the Auxiliary interface of each individual
reader (internal CBX500 9-pin connector) using the VisiSet™ configuration program or Host

NOTE

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
reader 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 RS232/RS485 main serial interface.
There is a single reading phase and a single message from the master reader to the Host
computer.
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 FOV for a Matrix 400 600-0x0 base using the 16 mm lens at a focus distance of 200
mm is:
FOVH = 2 [(200 mm + 35 mm) tan (24°/2)] = 100 mm
FOVV = 2 [(200 mm + 35 mm) tan (18°/2)] = 74 mm

7.2 HORIZONTAL FOV VS. READING DISTANCE DIAGRAMS
The following graphs represent the Horizontal Field of View (FOV) and Reading Distance
based on the combination of a certain sensor (Matrix 400™ base model) and a certain lens.
Each point represents the maximum achievable Field of View with the selected code
resolution (in this point DOF is limited).
The following diagrams are given for typical performance at 25°C using
high quality grade A symbols according to ISO/IEC 15416 (1D code) and
ISO/IEC 15415 (2D code) print quality test specifications. Testing should

READING FEATURES

7.3 MAXIMUM LINE SPEED AND EXPOSURE TIME CALCULATIONS
The Exposure Time (or Shutter) parameter defines the time during which the image will be
exposed to the reader sensor to be acquired. This parameter depends heavily on the
environmental conditions (external lighting system, image contrast etc.).
In general, a longer time corresponds to a lighter image but is susceptible to blurring due to
the code movement; a shorter exposure time corresponds to a darker image.

NOTE

The following considerations must be applied only when the internal
lighting system and 2D codes are used. The Maximum line speed allowed
for linear codes or postal code reading applications heavily depends on the
direction of symbol movement. When the direction of movement is parallel
to the elements of the code, the maximum speed is greater.

Assuming:


X: Code Resolution (mm)



Texp: Exposure Time (s)



LS: Line Speed (mm/s)

The essential condition to avoid blurring effects between two adjacent elements in a dynamic
reading application is:
LS  Texp  X
The maximum (theoretical) line speed LS can be calculated as follows:
X / Texp (max) = LS (max)
Example:
A Matrix 400™ 600-010 using:
Internal Lighting Mode = Very High Power Strobe
Exposure Time (x10 s) = 10 (100 s)
Code Resolution (X) = 0.254 mm (10 mils)
has a maximum line speed of:
0.254 (mm) / 0.0001 (s) = 2540 mm/s

Likewise, Texp (max) is the maximum Exposure Time value that can be used without blurring
for the given application line speed and code resolution. Therefore:
X / LS (max) = Texp (max)

MATRIX 400™ REFERENCE MANUAL

Conveyor Speed
Limit

Texp (max) and LS (max) are represented in the graph below as the curved line for X (code
resolution). Values above the curve result in blurring. In practice, the application values are
somewhere below the theoretical line, (in the green area), due to environmental and other
conditions.

Blurring

For example, the maximum target speed in the application is also affected by these
conditions:


Code/Background Contrast: maximum speed decreases when decreasing image
contrast (poor quality codes, reflective transparent coverings, different supports and
printing techniques).



Code Resolution: maximum speed increases when decreasing code resolution, (i.e. 2X).
There is a decrement of overlapping effects between two adjacent elements.



Tilt Angle: maximum speed decreases when increasing Tilt angle (from 0 to 45
degrees).

The Internal Lighting Mode parameter allows setting the operating mode of the internal
lighting system. The possible values are:


Disabled: the built-in LED array is turned off all the time. This option can be useful if using
an external lighting system;



Always ON: the built-in LED array is turned on all the time at the lowest power level. This
option is useful if the LED-array blinking (Strobed operating mode) disturbs the operator.



Very High/High/Medium/Low-Power Strobed: the built-in LED array is on only during the
image exposure time. Four different lighting levels can be set.

NOTE

100

To avoid LED array overheating, for Power Strobed settings, the program
automatically limits the range of allowed values for the Exposure Time
parameter. Therefore, after changes to Internal Lighting Mode, recheck
Exposure Time.

Blurring

Texp (min) is the minimum Exposure Time value obtainable for the specific application. It can
be evaluated in static reading conditions and depends on the Matrix reader model selected
for the application (internal lighting system, optical lens, diaphragm aperture, reading
distance) and on any external lighting system. It may also depend on code printing quality,
and reader position.

immediate results on the performance of the installed Matrix 400™ reader.
The Parameter Setup window works in Interactive Mode in order to cause each parameter
setting to be immediately effective.

NOTE
112

If you want to save the temporary configuration to permanent memory, you
must first close the Calibration Tool window. Then, you must disable the
Interactive Mode and select the Permanent Memory option from the Send
Configuration item in the Device menu.

SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION

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
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.

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

Multi Image Acquisition Settings

When controlled variable conditions occur in the application, Multiple Image Acquisition
Settings (up to 10), can be defined to create a database of parameter groups that handle
each specific application condition. This database of pre-defined settings functions cyclically
and therefore automatically improves system flexibility and readiness.
For example, an application may have two stable but different lighting conditions which
require different lighting options. One Image Acquisition Setting could enable and use an
internal illuminator and a second setting could enable and use an external lighting system.
These two groups will be used cyclically on each acquisition in order to automatically capture
the correctly lighted image.
Image Acquisition Settings are found in the VisiSet™ Calibration parameter setup menu.
By selecting a different number and enabling its Status you can define the parameters for a
new group.

8.4.5

Run Time Self Tuning (RTST)

Run Time Self-Tuning (RTST) increases Matrix’s flexibility in the presence of uncontrolled
variable conditions (lighting, code contrast, etc.) by automatically adjusting its acquisition
parameters.
Self Tuning Calibration
In the Calibration parameter setup menu, the Self Tuning parameters manage the Image
Acquisition Setting parameters dynamically. Self Tuning provides automatic adjustment in
run time of different acquisition parameters (Exposure Time and/or Gain) for each captured
image based on calculations performed on previous acquisitions. These dynamic settings will
be used instead of the static settings saved in memory.

From
Not Readable

to
Readable

For more details see the Matrix 400™ Help On-Line.
Self Tuning Image Processing
In the Image Processing parameter setup menu, the Self Tuning parameters manage the
Image Processing and Symbology related parameters. They perform different processing
attempts on the same captured image according to the selected Self Tuning Mode parameter
value: (Symbologies Only, Processing Modes Only, Decoding Methods Only, Code Contrast
Levels Only, Image Mirroring Only, or General Purpose).
For more details see the Matrix 400™ Help On-Line.

SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION

8.4.6

Region Of Interest Windowing

In order to satisfy very high throughput applications, higher frame rates can be achieved
using the powerful Region Of Interest Windowing parameters in the Calibration parameter
setup menu.
Region Of Interest Windowing allows defining a region or window within the reader FOV.
The Top, Bottom, Left and Right parameters allow to precisely define the image window to
be processed, visualized and saved.
In Matrix 400™ 600-0x0 models the frame rate is dependent on the number of lines (or rows)
in the defined window.
In Matrix 400™ 400-0x0 models the frame rate is dependent on the number of rows and
columns in the defined window.
The smaller the window, the lower the frame period and consequently the higher the frame
rate. In general the Image Processing time can be reduced by reducing the window
dimensions.

Direct Part Marking Applications

Decoding Method: Direct Marking
For DataMatrix and QR code the Decoding Method parameter selects the decoding
algorithm according to the printing/marking technique used to create the symbol and on the
overall printing/marking quality. The Direct Marking selection improves the decode rate for
low quality Direct Part Mark codes and in general for Direct Part Mark codes with dot peening
type module shapes.

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.

127

Depth of Field
The difference between the minimum and the maximum distance of the object in the field of
view that appears to be in focus.

the time during which the image will be exposed to the sensor to be acquired.
Flash
Non-volatile memory for storing application and configuration files.
Host
A computer that serves other terminals in a network, providing services such as network
control, database access, special programs, supervisory programs, or programming
languages.
Image Processing
Any form of information processing for which the input is an image and the output is for
instance a set of features of the image.
Image Resolution
The number of rows and columns of pixels in an image. The total number of pixels of an
image sensor.
Image Sensor
Device converting a visual image to an electric signal. It is usually an array of CCD (Charge
Coupled Devices) or CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) pixel sensors.
IEC
(International Electrotechnical Commission): Global organization that publishes international
standards for electrical, electronic, and other technologies.
IP Address
The terminal’s network address. Networks use IP addresses to determine where to send
data that is being transmitted over a network. An IP address is a 32-bit number referred to as
a series of 8-bit numbers in decimal dot notation (e.g., 130.24.34.03). The highest 8-bit
number you can use is 254.

128

ISO
(International Organization for Standardization): A network of the national standards
institutes of several countries producing world-wide industrial and commercial standards.
LED (Light Emitting Diode)
A low power electronic light source commonly used as an indicator light. It uses less power
than an incandescent light bulb but more than a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).
LED Illuminator
LED technology used as an extended lighting source in which extra optics added to the chip
allow it to emit a complex radiated light pattern.
Matrix Symbologies (2D Codes)
An arrangement of regular polygon shaped cells where the center-to-center distance of
adjacent elements is uniform. Matrix symbols may include recognition patterns which do not
follow the same rules as the other elements within the symbol.
Multidrop
A communication protocol for connecting two or more readers in a network with a
concentrator (or controller) and characterized by the use of individual device addresses.
Multi-row (or Stacked) Symbologies
Symbologies where a long symbol is broken into sections and stacked one upon another
similar to sentences in a paragraph.
