2.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The DS5100 laser scanner satisfies the most advanced needs of a wide range of users. It
has been developed focusing on the realistic requirements of its target market. The
outstanding result is an extremely compact, cost-effective and easy to use industrial scanner.
A standard application program is factory-loaded onto the
scanner. This program controls barcode reading, serial port
interfacing, data formatting and many other operating and control
parameters.
It is completely configurable from a host computer through the
Genius utility program provided on the downloadable Genius
mini-DVD zip file, or via the serial interface (Genius based Host
Mode Programming).
Some of the main features are listed below:
Medium, Long Range, Linear and Oscillating Mirror models, user selectable focus for
high application flexibility
ID-NET™ and EBC™ (Ethernet Bus Connections)
Embedded PROFINET-IO and EtherNet/IP for connectivity to main industrial Fieldbus
X-PRESS™ interface, Genius™ software tool, embedded multi-language display for easy
scanner setup and maintenance
Rotating connector block for flexible form factor and easy installation
DST™ (Digital Signal Technology)
ACR4™ reconstruction technology
PackTrack™ (only for Long Range models working in EBC)
Superior ambient light immunity from high frequency laser modulation
Top industrial grade, IP65 and Subzero™ version for low temperature environments
The scanner uses a solid-state laser diode as a light source; the light emitted has a
wavelength between 630 and 680 nm. Refer to the section “Safety Precautions” at the
beginning of this manual for information on laser safety.
The protection class of the enclosure is IP65, the reader is therefore suitable for industrial
environments where high protection against harsh external conditions is required.
