DESCRIPTION
The QLM500 EtherNet/IP Gateway is an active connection module which can be used in
Standalone or ID-NET™ Master Multidata, or Master Synchronized layouts. It provides a fast
and efficient way to cable both an EtherNet/IP network and an ID-NET™ network using
standard cables.
It provides separate M12 connectors for Power Supply, Ethernet Communication, ID-NET™
Network, External Trigger, Digital I/O and Aux RS232 Communication for configuration of the
reading device.
The QLM500 Gateway provides an easy way to connect many Datalogic reading devices to
any PLC with EtherNet/IP support. It allows EtherNet/IP real-time communication with bus or
ring topologies, and due to its two Ethernet ports, it eliminates the need for expensive
external switches.
Host communication is provided through the integrated EtherNet/IP circuitry which connects
internally to the reader's Main serial interface (RS232).
ID-NET™ network and power supply signals are provided to the next connected device (ID-
NET™ Slave), by means of a dedicated M12 connector. However there is not a second
ID-NET™ network connector for bus propagation and therefore the QLM500 cannot be used
as an ID-NET™ Slave.
The reading device is connected to the QLM500 through a standard 25-pin D-sub connector.
Three rotary switches allow easy manual Network Addressing selection.
The following accessories make system cabling easy:
CBL-1487 connector or CS-A2-02-G-xx cable, to build the Power Supply connection.
FMC600 connector, to build the I/O connections.
CAB-AUX03 cable, to connect the Gateway to a PC to configure the connected reading
device.
CBL-1480-xx cable, to build the ID-NET network connections.
If necessary, commercial cables are available for trigger connections to a PNP photocell (see
TRG Connector paragraph).
QLM500 has integrated on-board backup memory and therefore supports Backup and
Restore procedures for the connected device and relative ID-NET™ network (if used). See
the device's Backup and Restore procedure in the Help On Line.
For the 2KN-4K Family Scanners, Backup and Restore can also be performed using
programming barcodes, see the Setup Procedure Using Programming Barcodes document
on the reader's CD-ROM.
NOTE
For full compatibility with QLM500, the 2KN-4K Family Scanner must have
software package 007_3 or later.

PWR-IN
PWR-IN is a 5-pin Male A-Coded M12 connector. Input power must only be supplied to the
QLM500 at the PWR-IN connector; from there it is internally distributed to the connected
reading device, the ID-NET™ network and all the I/O devices.
You can use the CBL-1487 connector and follow the pinout above to build your own Power
Supply connector cable.
You can also use one of the CS-A2-02-G-xx cables which terminate in four single stranded
wires. The brown wire corresponds to pin 1 Vdc, the blue wire to pin 3 GND. The white
and black wires are not used.
The LED placed below the PWR-IN connector, signals the presence of input Power. If the
polarity is correct, the LED is blue; if the polarity is reversed, the LED is red; if no power is
supplied, the LED is off.
CAUTION
The QLM500 and the connected reader are protected from polarity inversion
through the PWR-IN connector, but this is not true for the other devices
connected to the ID-NET™ Network, TRG and I/O connectors (i.e. external
trigger, encoder, etc.). Check the correct Power Supply polarity looking at
the PWR-IN LED before connecting other devices to the QLM500.
The power supply must be between 10 and 30 Vdc only.
Voltage Drop and Max Distributed Current Calculations
For correct ID-NET™ network management, the maximum number of readers which can
propagate power through the QLs must be calculated so that max distributed current is not
exceeded (4.0 A), and so voltage drop doesn't affect reader functioning. This is done
according to the following formula:
Voltage Drop = (Max Reader Current x Number of readers) x
(Resistance per Meter per wire* x Cable length in Meters)
* the resistance calculation must include both wires (Vdc and GND).
Example:
An ID-NET™ network is composed of 4 DS2100N readers. Three 2-meter ID-NET™ cables
are used to connect the readers, which have Cable Resistance = 0.058 Ohms per meter per
wire. The network power is 24 Vdc.
(0.125 A x 4 readers) x [(0.058 x 2) x 6 meters] = 0.348 Vdc voltage drop
24 Vdc - 0.348 = 23.65 Vdc at reader number 4 (worst case)
Integrate a sufficient number of QL200s to resupply network power.
ID-NET
ID-NET is a 5-pin Female A-Coded M12 connector. It is used to connect the network signals
and the power supply for the ID-NET™ Network towards ID-NET™ Slaves.

QLM500 INSTALLATION MANUAL
8
Pins 2 and 3 on the ID-NET connector carry the same power supply lines present on pins 1
and 3 of the PWR-IN connector; however power must only be supplied to the QLM500
through the PWR-IN connector.
In an ID-NET™ network, the reading device connected to the QLM500 must be configured
as an ID-NET™ Master; to facilitate the network setup, the QLM500 already provides an
internal bus termination resistor (the Master is the first device of the chain).
CAUTION
When using QLM500 in an ID-NET™ network application, the network
termination cap must be connected to the last device of the chain.
TRG CONNECTOR
TRG is a 4-pin Female A-Coded M12 connector. You can connect a PNP photocell to it,
which will act as an External Trigger (Input 1) for the connected reading device. Several
commercial cables are available to make this connection such as the SAC-4P-M12MS series
by Phoenix Contact.
When the Trigger is activated, the LED below the TRG connector is yellow.
See the Technical Features table for electrical specifications.
NOTE
Pins 1 +V (I/O) and 3 -V (I/O) are derived from Vdc and GND and are
useful for supplying the external trigger through the QLM500 power source,
however pins 1 and 3 of the TRG connector must not be used as power
supply inputs to the QLM500.
I/O CONNECTOR
I/O is an 8-pin Female A-Coded M12 connector. It carries the signals for the additional I/O
(Input 2 / Secondary Trigger, Output 1 and Output 2) as shown below. If Input 2 is used as a
Secondary Trigger, the photocell must be a PNP device.
Note that all these signals are relative to the connected reader.
When the Input 2 (Secondary Trigger) is activated, the LED below the I/O connector is yellow.
When the Output 1 signal is activated, the LED below the I/O connector is red.
When the Output 2 signal is activated, the LED below the I/O connector is green.
See the Technical Features table for electrical specifications.
NOTE
Pins 1 +V (I/O) and 2 -V (I/O) are derived from Vdc and GND and are
useful for supplying the I/O devices through the QLM500 power source,
however pins 1 and 2 of the I/O connector must not be used as power
supply inputs to the QLM500.
NOTE
To reduce electromagnetic interference use a shielded cable for I/O
connections.

ETH1 CONNECTOR
ETH1 is a 4-pin Female D-Coded M12 connector. It is used to connect the QLM500 to an
EtherNet/IP network in either Daisy-Chain, Ring or Star topologies.
ETH2 CONNECTOR
ETH2 is a 4-pin Female D-Coded M12 connector. It is used to connect the QLM500 to an
EtherNet/IP network in either Daisy-Chain, Ring or Star topologies.
AUX CONNECTOR
AUX is a 5-pin Female B-Coded M12 connector. It is used to connect the reading device
connected to the QLM500 to a configuration program on a PC. For example for the
DS2100N/2400N/4800 barcode readers you should use the Genius™ configuration tool.
You can use the CAB-AUX 03 accessory cable to easily connect the QLM500 to a PC DB9
serial port.
SYSTEM WIRING/CABLING
The connection and wiring procedure for QLM500 is described as follows:
1) Be sure that all the QLM500 M12 connectors are free (not connected).
2) Build your power supply cable using the CBL-1487 accessory connector following the
pinout shown in the Connectors paragraph (PWR-IN Connector). Use an adequate
cable/wire diameter, according to the total current required for the application (QLM500,
connected reader, trigger, other I/O devices, ID-NET™ Network components). One of the
CS-A2-02-G-xx accessory cables can also be used (see PWR-IN paragraph).
3) Connect the power supply cable to the QLM500 (with no other devices connected) and
apply power checking that the polarity is correct: the blue LEDs below both PWR-IN and
ID-NET (out) M12 connectors must be turned on. If instead the red LEDs are turned on,
the polarity is incorrect; switch off the power and check the cable. Correct the situation so
that the power supply polarity is correct.
4) When the connection to the power supply is correct switch off the power.
5) Connect the reading device to the 25-pin connector.
6) If your application requires it, connect a PNP photocell to the TRG connector. Several
commercial cables are available (see TRG Connector paragraph).
7) If your application involves other I/O devices you can build your I/O cable using the
FMC600 accessory and following the pinout shown in the Connectors paragraph (I/O
Connector); next connect your cable to the I/O connector.
8) If an ID-NET™ network is required in your application, build the network using the proper
Datalogic Automation accessory cables, connectors and termination cap. See the Typical
Layouts for example.
9) Connect the QLM500 to the EtherNet/IP Network using proper Ethernet cables. If the
ETH2 connector is not used to propagate the network, use the M12 protection cap.

QLM500 INSTALLATION MANUAL
10
10) Preset the Node Address of the QLM500, as shown in the EtherNet/IP Network Address
Selectors paragraph.
11) Switch on the power supply; after a while (the system needs some seconds to boot),
and if the EtherNet/IP Host is ready and has correctly recognized the QLM500, the green
Network Status and Module Status LEDs below both ETH1 and ETH2 M12 connectors
should be turned on.
12) If you need to configure the reading device, connect the AUX port through the CAB-
AUX03 accessory cable to a PC and run the configuration program (i.e. Genius™).
Now the system is ready to operate.
NOTE
To avoid electromagnetic interference connect the QLM500 housing to a
good earth ground.
ETHERNET/IP NETWORK ADDRESS SELECTORS
An IPv4 IP Address is composed of four octets (bytes) and can be represented by four
decimal numbers separated by dots (dotted notation). For example, in the following address:
195.24.65.215, the last octet is 215.
The QLM500 has three embedded rotary switches allowing easy manual selection of the last
octet of the IP Address. Valid selections for the last octet of the IP Address are shown in the
table below. Address selections outside of these values are not accepted.
000-255 = A valid selection for the last octet of the IP Address
777 = Remote Assignment through the IPConfig application available on the reader's
CD-ROM.
888 = Static Assignment – set manually through Genius™
999 = set through a DHCP server
Using a small screwdriver, set the three rotary switches manually to the desired IP Address
(reading from left to right). Figure 3 shows address 107 as the last octet.
Figure 3 – EtherNet/IP Network Address Selectors
So, for the example above, the IP Address stored in the connected reading device is
195.24.65.215 and the configuration defined by the three rotary switches is 107; when the
gateway is switched on the IP Address is assumed to be 195.24.65.107.
The full IP Address as well as the Gateway Address can be set by printing and then reading
custom barcode labels as described in the "Custom Barcode IP Address/Station Name
Assignment" document available on the reader's CD-ROM.
