QLM500 INSTALLATION MANUAL

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.

QLM500 INSTALLATION MANUAL

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

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.

QLM500 INSTALLATION MANUAL

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) 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.
