continuous updates, and since Datalogic promptly adopts these updates, therefore the EU
declaration of conformity is a living document. The EU declaration of conformity is available for
competent authorities and customers through Datalogic commercial reference contacts. Since
April 20th, 2016 the main European directives applicable to Datalogic products require inclusion
of an adequate analysis and assessment of the risk(s). This evaluation was carried out in relation
to the applicable points of the standards listed in the Declaration of Conformity. Datalogic
products are mainly designed for integration purposes into more complex systems. For this
reason it is under the responsibility of the system integrator to do a new risk assessment
regarding the final installation.
Warning: This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
EAC COMPLIANCE
Customs Union:
The CU Conformity certification has been achieved; this allows the Product to bear the
Eurasian mark of conformity.

GUIDE TO INSTALLATION
The following can be used as a checklist to verify all the steps necessary to complete
installation of the SC6000 Controller.
1) Read all information in the section “Compliance” at the beginning of this manual.
2) Correctly mount the SC6000 using the bracket provided according to the information
in par. 2.3.
3) Connect the SC6000 Controller to the PWO by means of the appropriate accessory
cables (see par. 1.4).
4) Provide correct and complete system cabling through the PWO according to the
signals (Lonworks, encoder P.S., etc) necessary for the layout of your application.
(See subparagraphs under par. 2.4 and 2.5. See also the PWO Installation Manual).
5) Install the Genius™ configuration program onto a laptop PC from the CD-ROM
provided. Configure the SC6000 Controller by connecting this PC to the SC6000
Auxiliary port.
For configuration of a cluster of DS6000 family scanners, or DS8100A/DX8200A
scanners or both, see par. 3.2.
For configuration of a cluster of DS8100 or DX8200 scanners or both, see par. 3.3.
6) Execute the Backup procedure described in par. 4.1.
7) Exit the configuration program and run your application.
The installation is now complete.

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The new SC6000 Controller offers all the necessary functions to make the phases of
installation, setup, testing, and maintenance of the omni-directional reading tunnel easy and
quick.
The SC6000 Controller key functions are:
Bus Controller: cluster management and Host interface of a multisided reading tunnel
based on Lonworks bus;
DARPTM (Datalogic Automatic Replacement Procedure) function: automatic procedure for
scanner and bus controller replacement;
Diagnostic indications on the reading station status, simple to be detected without any PC
needed. This indications, based on LEDs and display, offer to the maintenance staff all
the necessary information;
Easy remotization of all the reading station information, thanks to built-in Ethernet and
fieldbus connectivity, and a dedicated 9-pin connector for Modem connection;
Single and Redundant System configurations;
Integration with RFID and Vision Systems; SC6000's efficiency in hybrid solutions
represents a crucial competitive advantage for challenging application requirements.
Auto PackTrack™ Calibration procedure from SC6000 Menu using the onboard Keypad
and Display.
Energy Saving allows allows turning on/off the motors and lasers of all network scanners
according to the selected digital input, encoder, or communication channel. The time
required to restart the system is less than 1 minute independently from the number of
scanners connected. It is suggested to use this parameter for example when the
conveyor is stopped for a lengthy period.
The SC6000 Controller is based on a robust alloy case divided into two parts: on the upper
part there is the display, the keypad and the LEDs. The lower part contains the motherboard,
the removable Compact-Flash memory, the Fieldbus boards and the connector panel.
The simple and sturdy mechanical structure makes the SC6000 Controller the ideal solution
for industrial environments.
The SC6000 Controller is fully compatible both with the 6000 family and with the 8000 family
(DS8100A and DX8200A) scanners. This means that the SC6000 Controller can work as a
bus controller for a cluster of DS6000 family scanners, or DS8100A/DX8200A scanners or
both. These slave scanner families no longer require a staggered starting sequence,
therefore SC6000 starts them simultaneously.
The SC6000 Controller is also compatible with DS8100 and DX8200 (Lonworks versions). It
is not possible to mix DS8100/DX8200 with 6000 family or DS8100A/DX8200A.

2.3 MECHANICAL MOUNTING
To mount the SC6000 Controller on the reading station frame proceed as follows:
1 Mount the bracket on the reading station frame: the slots on the bracket will help obtain
the best positioning. When working in environments characterized by strong vibrations,
set the screws as close as possible to the bracket edges, see Figure 5.
2 Tighten the ST-222 bracket to the reading station frame using the screws and washers.
Figure 5 –Mounting the bracket on the reading station frame
3 Position the SC6000 Controller at the top of the bracket: make sure the two large round
openings coincide to the ones located at the edges of the SC6000 Controller.
4 While supporting the SC6000 Controller, rotate the whole device until it is aligned for the
best viewing position, then insert the set pin screw with locking washer until it inserts into
one of the small positioning holes located on the terminal bracket.

The specially punched steel ring has been designed to obtain the most precise rotation
possible in terms of angle calibration, steadiness and consequent absence of torque
between both sides of device.
5 Place a locking washer and then a flat washer onto each knob. Tighten the SC6000
Controller to its bracket by screwing the knobs into their holes –one on each side.
Figure 7 –Mounting the SC6000 Controller on the bracket
The SC6000 Controller can rotate on its mounting bracket up to 90° with respect to the
mounting bracket position. See figure below for suggested positions:

RS485 full-duplex
CAUTION
Do not connect GND and GND_ISO to different (external) ground
references. GND and GND_ISO are internally connected through filtering
circuitry which can be permanently damaged if subjected to voltage drops
over 0.8 Vdc.
Details regarding the connections and use of the main interface selection are given in the
next paragraphs.

RS232 Interface
The main serial interface is used for communication with the Host computer and allows both
transmission of code data and controller configuration. The connections to the Host can be
made as follows:
through the PWO (in which case a CAB-SC6103 cable connects the PWO to the
SC6000)
directly to the SC6000
See also par. 2.5.1.
It is always advisable to use shielded cables. The overall maximum cable length must be
less than 15 m (49.2 ft).
The following pins of the 9-pin connector are used for RS232 interface connection:

The RTS and CTS signals control data transmission and synchronize the connected devices.
If the RTS/CTS hardware protocol is enabled, the SC6000 activates the RTS output to
indicate a message can be transmitted. The Host must activate the CTS input to enable the
transmission.

RS485 Full-Duplex Interface
The RS485 full-duplex interface is used for non-polled communication protocols in
point-to-point connections over longer distances (max 1200 m / 3940 ft) than those
acceptable for RS232 communications or in electrically noisy environments. The connections
to the Host can be made as follows:
through the PWO (in which case a CAB-SC6103 cable connects the PWO to the
SC6000)
directly to the SC6000
See also par. 2.5.1.
