Connecting and wiring a code reader The following explains the considerations and procedure for connecting a code reader to a programmable controller, and connecting to a CC-Link IE Field Network Basic connection.
Ex.
Breakout cable: CCB-PWRIO-**(**: 05, 10, or 15)*1
Precautions Check that a 24 VDC power supply is OFF when connecting a breakout cable to the power supply. Cut unused wires or protect them with insulating materials. Be careful not to contact with 24 VDC wires. A breakout cable and an Ethernet cable are designed to connect with their key aligned with the keyway of the connector on
a code reader. Do not force the connections or damage may occur. When powering ON the system, turn ON the power of a programmable controller first, or at the same time as a code reader.
1. Connect the breakout cable to a 24 VDC power supply. Connect the 24 VDC (red) of the cable to the positive terminal of the power supply, and the GND (black) to the negative terminal.
2. Connect the breakout cable to the power supply, I/O, and RS-232 connector of a code reader.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet connector and a switching hub of the code reader.
4. Connect the code reader to a programmable controller and a personal computer via the switching hub.
5. Turn the power of the system ON.

Basic Connection Basic operation process for a CC-Link IE Field Network Basic connection With a CC-Link IE Field Network Basic connection, data communication (cyclic transmission) is periodically performed between a master station (programmable controller) and a slave station (code reader) using link devices. Remote input and output (RX and RY), and remote registers (RWr and RWw) are used for data communication. Status block (RX) and output data block (RWr) are link devices to send data from a code reader to a master station (programmable controller). Control block (RY) and input data block (RWw) are link devices to send data from a master station (programmable controller) to a code reader.

Signals used for a CC-Link IE Field Network Basic connection For details on each signal to control a code reader, refer to DataMan Industrial Protocols Manual. DataMan Industrial Protocols Manual can be opened by clicking "CF Industrial Protocols Manual" in the help of DataMan Setup Tool for MELSENSOR.
Precautions Do not write data to '(Reserved)' bits in remote I/O signals (RY/RX) and '(Reserved)' words in remote registers (RWr/RWw). Doing so may cause an unexpected error.
Remote I/O signals (RY/RX) The following shows the I/O signals for a master station (programmable controller) in a CC-Link IE Field Network Basic connection.
Control blocks (RY) Control blocks (RY) are output signals for a master station (programmable controller) to control a code reader.
*1 Bits 24 to 31 are virtual discrete input of the code reader. When the bit turns from OFF to ON, an action associated with the bit is executed. After the execution, the code reader turns ON the corresponding 'Soft Event Ack' in status blocks to show the action is completed.
*2 Do not execute 'Software Event' that changes code reader settings while processing the trigger. Changing settings while capturing an image or decoding may cause an unexpected result.
*3 The execution result of the DMCC command cannot be acquired.
Bit Data name Description (Application) 0 Trigger Enable To enable an image capturing trigger by 'Trigger' signal for CC-Link IE Field Network Basic
connection. ON: An image capturing trigger is enabled. OFF: An image capturing trigger is disabled.
1 Trigger To trigger image capturing. 'Trigger Ready' bit needs to be ON before generating an image capturing trigger. ON: image capturing trigger is started. OFF:
2 Buffer Results Enable To enable the buffer for read results. New read results are stored in the buffer queue of a code reader. To acquire the next read results, turn ON 'Results Ack'. ON: The buffer for read results is enabled. OFF: The buffer for read results is disabled.
3 Results Ack To respond to receiving the latest read results. A code reader turns 'Results Available' OFF when recognizing that this bit turns ON. If 'Buffer Results Enable' is turned ON, the next read results are read out from the buffer queue when receiving a response. ON: Read results are received. OFF:
4 to 23 (Reserved)
24 Soft Event*1*2 To register a code
25 To register a match string
26 To register focus
27 To register brightness
28 To cancel registration
29 (Reserved)
30 To execute a DMCC command*3
31 To set a match string
32 to 63 (Reserved)

*1 These bits turn ON to show that a code reader completes soft event actions. These bits remain ON until their corresponding 'Soft Event' bits in control blocks are turned OFF.
Bit Data name Description (Application) 0 Trigger Ready This bit turns ON when 'Trigger Enable' is set and an image capturing trigger can be received.
ON: An image capturing trigger can be received. OFF: An image capturing trigger cannot be received.
1 Trigger Ack This bit shows that a code reader recognizes 'Trigger' is ON. Until 'Trigger' is turned OFF, this bit remains ON. ON: An image capturing trigger is received. OFF:
2 Acquiring This bit shows that a code reader is capturing an image. For a code reader CF26, this bit is '(Reserved).'
3 Missed Acq This bit shows that image capturing is failed. When the next image capturing trigger is generated, this bit is turned OFF. ON: Image capturing is failed. OFF:
4 to 7 (Reserved)
8 Decoding This bit shows that a code reader is decoding.
9 Decode Complete Toggle The status of this bit is inverted every time when decoding is completed and read results become available.
10 Results Buffer Overrun This bit shows that a code reader discards a series of read results after the buffer for read results becomes full. When the next read results are stored in the buffer queue properly, this bit is turned OFF. Only when 'Buffer Results Enable' is enabled, this bit is enabled. ON: Read results are discarded. OFF:
11 Results Available This bit shows that a series of decode results is available (the Result ID, Result Code, Result Data Length, and Result Data fields contain valid data). Until 'Results Ack' responds, this bit remains ON. ON: With new read results OFF: Without new read results
12 to 14 (Reserved)
15 General Fault This bit turns ON when an error occurs in soft event operation. Until the next soft event succeeds or 'Trigger Enable' is turned OFF and then ON again, this bit remains ON. ON: Error OFF: No error
