FM100 Laser Barcode Scan Engine

User Manual

Version: FM_UM_EN_V1.1.7

Notice

Make sure you carefully read the following information to ensure that your barcode scan engine is able to

perform at the level for which it is designed.

1. All software, including firmware, furnished to the user is on a licensed basis.

2. The right is reserved to make changes to any software or product to improve reliability, function, or

design.

3. The material in this manual is subject to change without notice.

4. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any loss or claims by third parties which may arise

from the use of this manual.

5. Do not throw or drop the scan engine or otherwise subject it to strong impact, which can damage the

scanner, interrupt program execution, corrupt memory contents, or otherwise interfere with proper

operation.

6. Sudden temperature changes can cause condensation to form on the scanner’s case. Operating

the scan engine while condensation is present can interfere with proper operation. Take care to

avoid conditions that cause the formation of condensation. If condensation does form, wait until it

dries completely before using the scan engine.

Notes about structure design

1. Read chapter 7-1 carefully to learn about dust-proof, moisture-proof design, grounding design and

ESD design.

2. Read chapter 7-3 carefully to learn about the options of exit window material.

3. Read chapter 7-4 carefully to learn about the exit window tilt angle against the engine.

5 Operation modes

5-1 Operate the engine by TRIG

A pulse input to the pin TRIG triggers the engine to start scanning.

Figure 5-1: A pulse of trigger signal

5-2 Operate the engine by receiving command via UART

UART parameter should be set as below:

(1) Baud rate: 9600 bps;

(2) Data bits: 8 bits;

(3) Stop bit: 1 bit;

(4) Parity check bit: None;

(5) Flow control: None.

Command name Command format Comments

Stop_Scan 0xAA 0x01 0x00 0x55

Start_GoodReadOff 0xAA 0x02 0x00 0x55

Start_Continue 0xAA 0x03 0x00 0x55

Restart 0xAA 0x07 0x00 0x55

T=1s

The engine starts scanning at the arrival of

pulse’s falling edge. The pulse width must

be greater than 1 second.

6 PIN assignment

6-1 FM 100-13x (with decoder) 12P connector PIN assignment

FM 100 provides a low profile ZIF 12-pin connector to

connect to a 0.5 mm x 12 position FFC/FPC cable.

The pin assignments are as follows:

PIN No Signal Name Type Description

1 Flash_DWLD Input Flash download. Do not drive high. Pull low for download.

2 VCC Input VCC(3.3V)

3 GND Input GND

4 RxD Input Received Date：Serial input port.

5 TxD Output Transmitted Data：Serial output port.

6 CTS Input Clear to Send：Serial port handshaking line.

7 RTS Output Request to Send：Serial port handshaking line.

8 PWRDWN Output Power down ready：When high，the decoder is in low power

mode.

9 BPR Output Beeper: Low current beeper output.

10 DLED Output Decoder LED：Low current decode LED output.

11 WAKE Input Wake up: When decoder is in low power mode, pulses this pin low

for 200 ns awakens it.

12 TRIG Input Trigger: Hardware triggering line，Driving this low pin causes the

decoder to start a scan and decode session.
