33
 Setting Up Your DataMan 300

Setting Focus
There is a range of reading distances available for different code sizes and focus positions. To set focus on your reader,
use the following options depending on whether you use a liquid lens or a manual focus lens.

Liquid Lens Manual Focus Lens

Focus Feedback (Results Display) Focus Feedback (Results Display)

Optimize Focus (Focus Settings)

Focus Sweep (Focus Settings)

For setting Focus Sweep, follow these guidelines:

l If your application has a consistent reading range, set the focus range to a limited depth of field with no steps (for
example, set it to 20) or with limited steps (for example, set it to 2 steps between 0 and 30). This way you can
achieve fast performance.
l If your application has a variety of code types and sizes, set the focus range to a wider depth of field with
increased number of steps (for example, set it to 6 steps between 0 and 200). This way you can get better
coverage.

Both Optimize Focus and the Focus Feedback use the same procedure for testing the current focus. They consider
various subregions of the image.
For maximizing the performance of Optimize Focus and Focus Feedback, observe the following:

l Use a focus target (such as the one supplied with this Quick Reference Guide) that includes high-contrast
features and is big enough that it fills at least a 100x100 pixel region in the center of the field of view at the
desired working distance.

34
 Setting Up Your DataMan 300

l Make sure the target is perfectly flat (avoid floppy pieces of paper).
l Make sure that the target is perfectly perpendicular to the optical axis of the reader.
l Make sure that the rest of the field of view (such as the part not covered by the focus target) does not contain any
high-contrast features. For example, you would ideally fill the entire field of view with a white card or sheet of
paper (no shadows), then position the focus target in the middle.
l The supplied focus target (120x120mm) is appropriate for typical working distances. If you are using a working
distance such that the target does not completely fill the image, make sure that there are no high-contrast features
visible outside of the target (see previous bullet).

Note:
l If you are using the focus feedback indicator to adjust a manual focus lens, you must apply power to the
reader before you remove the cover. If you remove the cover before applying power, the internal illumination
will not function.
l If you are using a Liquid Lens, make sure that the cover is mounted and connected before you apply power.
If you attach or remove the front cover while the reader is powered, the focus settings will be lost.

Perform the following steps to use Focus Feedback:

1. Connect the reader to the DataMan Setup Tool.

2. On the Results Display pane, check the Focus Feedback option and enable Live Display.
3. The Focus Feedback column is displayed in colors ranging from red (bad focus) through yellow to green (sharp
focus).

Position the reader in a way that the focus column becomes green. The maximum focus peak gets locked for better
orientation. When the focus column is green, the lens is in focus and you will be able to decode the image.

Field of View and Reading Distances

The following maps show the field of view of the DataMan 300 series readers. Reading distance values are also
provided for 1-D and 2-D example code distances.
For the C-mount (or other non-Cognex) and S-Mount lenses, the focal length of the lens, focus setting, and aperture
setting determine the field of view and reading distance.

Reading Distance and Field of View (DataMan 300 Readers with a 10.3 mm
Lens)
The map below shows the field of view (FoV) of the DataMan 300 series readers with a 10.3 mm lens (with or without a

Using Your DataMan 300

This section provides information on the installation process of the DataMan Setup Tool, troubleshooting Ethernet
connection issues, tuning, image filtering, as well as reader training and package detection.

Installing DataMan Software and Connecting the Reader

Follow the steps below to install and connect your reader to the DataMan Setup Tool:

1. Check the DataMan Release Notes for a full list of system requirements.
2. Download the DataMan Setup Tool from http://www.cognex.com/support/dataman and follow the on-screen
steps.
3. Connect the DataMan 300 Series reader to your PC.
4. Launch the DataMan Setup Tool and click Refresh.
Detected readers will appear under COM ports or Network devices, or both.
5. Select a reader from the list and click Connect.

WARNING: Do not stare into beam when adding, removing, or changing cables. Cognex recommends to unpower
the reader any time you make physical changes to it.

Follow the steps below to connect your reader to power and network:

1. Connect the I/O+RS232+24V cable to your reader.

2. For a network connection, connect your reader, through an Ethernet cable, to your network.
3. Connect the cable to a 24V power supply.

Troubleshooting an Ethernet Connection

Based on your network configuration, the DataMan Setup Tool may not be able to communicate with the reader and it
will not appear in the list of Network devices.

1. First, check your Ethernet connection with the reader and click Refresh in the DataMan Setup Tool.
2. Next, scan the Enable DHCP code in the Reader Configuration Codes document available from the Start menu.
This might allow the reader to acquire a suitable IP address from a DHCP server on your subnet.

If the reader still does not appear, you can use either the Add Device or Force Network Settings options in the
DataManSetup Tool.
For more information, see the DataMan Setup Tool Quick Reference Guide.
You can also use the RS-232 connection to configure the reader with parameters that allow it to communicate over your
Ethernet network.

43
 Using Your DataMan 300

Industrial Protocols
The DataMan 300 readers support the following industrial protocols:

l EtherNet/IP™
l PROFINET
l MC Protocol
l Modbus TCP

Select industrial protocol samples and tools you want to use when you install the DataMan Setup Tool.

There are three ways to enable or disable industrial protocols. Using either method, a reboot is required for the changes
to come into effect.

l Enable the protocols using the Industrial Protocols pane of the DataManSetup Tool (under Communication
Settings).
l Scan the appropriate Reader Configuration codes (see Reader Configuration Codes available through the
Windows Start menu or the Setup Tool Help menu).
l Send the appropriate DMCC (see Command Reference available through the Windows Start menu or the Setup
Tool Help menu).

For more information on using the industrial protocols, read the DataMan Communications and Programming Guide
available through the Windows Start menu or the Setup Tool Help menu.

DataMan 300 Series Triggering

DataMan 300 readers support the following trigger modes:

l Self: At an interval you configure, the reader automatically detects and decodes codes in its field of view. If you
set a higher re-read delay than the trigger interval, there is a code output only once until the code is out of the
field of view for the duration of the re-read delay.
l Single (external trigger): Acquires a single image and attempts to decode any symbol it contains, or more than
one symbol in cases where multicode is enabled. The reader relies on an external trigger source.

44
 Using Your DataMan 300

l Presentation: Scans, decodes and reports a single code in the field of view. The reader relies on an internal
timing mechanism to acquire images.
l Manual: Begins acquiring images when you press the trigger button on the reader, and continues acquiring
images until a symbol is found and decoded or you release the button.
l Burst: Performs multiple image acquisitions based on an external trigger and decodes any symbol appearing in
a single image or within a sequence of images, or multiple symbols in a single image or within a sequence of
images when multicode is enabled. You can control the number of images within each burst and the interval
between image acquisitions.
l Continuous: Begins acquiring images based on a single external trigger and continues to acquire and decode
images until a symbol is found and decoded, or until multiple images containing as many codes as specified in
multicode mode are located, or until the trigger is released. You can configure your reader to acquire images
based on the start and stop signal from separate digital IO pulses.

In Single, Burst, Continuous, and Self trigger modes, it is possible to synchronize image acquisition on multiple
devices using the synchronization interface. Synchronization allows using one shared strobe illumination to expose all
sensors simultaneously. You can synchronize up to 16 readers, with optionally triggering them in a defined sequence to
avoid that opposing readers blind each other. Note that this and other imager settings will not get synchronized by this
mechanism - for example, you must configure exposure and gain on each reader individually. This feature only
synchronizes the actual image acquisition, triggering happens through the existing master-slave mechanism.
To set up synchronized acquisition on DM300, enable PTP (Precision Time Protocol) on the Master/Slave pane of the
DataMan Setup Tool under Synchronized Readers (IE1588). Set the Slave Only accordingly on each reader individually
to define Master/Slave reader relations.
The setting in 7 steps:

1. Check the Enable PTP check box.

2. Keep set the Slave Only check box if there is already a PTP master clock in the net (uncheck otherwise on at least
one reader)
3. Tune fine by Prioriry 1 and Priority 2
4. Status: Set the protocol state
5. Enable MST Sync by trigger: Use PTP to actually sync Master/Slave triggering
6. Time between Trigger Start and the Synchronized Acquisition Timestamp: Time the Master adds to the trigger to
make sure all devices already received the TCP package before this time stamp.

7. Local Offset Added to the Synchronized Acquisition Timestamp: Time the slave adds to the timestamp to realize
offset image acquisitions.

45
 Using Your DataMan 300

External Triggers
If you are using external triggering you can use any of the following methods to trigger your DataMan 300 reader:

l Press the trigger button on the reader.

l Send a pulse on the I/O cable:

l Trigger + (red)
l Trigger - (black)
l Send a serial trigger command over the RS-232 connection or Ethernet connection.
l Press <CTRL-T> on the keyboard while the DataMan Setup Tool has the input focus.

46
 Using Your DataMan 300

l Click the Trigger button in the DataMan Setup Tool:

Multi-Reader Triggering
For trigger modes other than Presentation, the DataMan 360 supports multi-reader triggering, also known as master-
slave configuration. In this configuration, you configure multiple DataMan readers as a group. Whenever any reader in
the group is triggered, all the readers are triggered and the results from all the readers are assembled and transmitted by
a single reader that you designate as the master.
Multi-reader triggering is used to support extended field of view reading and reading codes from multiple product
surfaces:

To configure multi-reader triggering, select the Master/Slave pane in the Setup Tool (under System Settings). For more
information, see the DataMan Fixed Mount Readers Reference.

Note: The DataMan 300 readers use IEEE1588 for high speed trigger synchronization.

DataMan 300 Series Tuning

By tuning, your reader automatically selects the best settings for the given reading situation, based on parameters of
illumination, camera and decoder properties, and focal distance. Tuning autodisciminates all enabled symbologies (both
1-D and 2-D). If multiple symbols are found in the field of view, tuning locks on the first one found. Use this feature to
create an optimum setting to read your codes.
You can use any of the following methods to tune your reader:

l Press the Tune button at least for 3 seconds on your reader. The first press starts the tuning, and the second
press cancels the tuning, if it is still ongoing.

47
 Using Your DataMan 300

l Turn on tuning in the DataMan Setup Tool.

l Start tuning by sending a DMCC, for more information, see the DataMan Control Commands Documentation,
available through the Windows Start menu or the DataMan Setup Tool Help menu.

48
 Using Your DataMan 300

l Use Input line 1 for tuning. Go to the System Settings pane of the DataMan Setup Tool and check Tune.

You can also use the In 1 button on the toolbar.

49
 Using Your DataMan 300

DataMan 300 Series Image Filtering

You can define a stack of filters to be applied to each image acquired by your DataMan 300 series reader. You can
select the following filters on the DataMan Setup Tool’s Image Filtering pane (under Light and Imager Settings):

l Equalize
This filter redistributes the brightness values of the pixels in the image. As a result, the range of brightness levels
are more evenly represented. Use this filter if you have too dark or too bright images.

l Stretch
This filter linearly scales up or stretches the greyscale values in the input image to the full 256-step greyscale.
The result is an output image with increased contrast.
l Low Pass
Using this filter results in output images where edges are smoothed or blurred.
l Dilate
This filter increases bright features and shrinks dark features. The result is an output image with larger areas of
bright pixels. Use this filter to remove dark specks.
l Erode
This filter shrinks bright features and increases dark features. The result is an output image with larger areas of
dark pixels. Use this filter to remove light specks.
l Open
This filter performs an erosion followed by a dilation to filter out bright features that are smaller than the size of the
processing neighborhood. The result is an output image with slightly decreased overall brightness.
l Close
This filter performs a dilation followed by an erosion to filter out dark features that are smaller than the size of the
processing neighborhood. The result is an output image with slightly increased overall brightness.
l Auto Stretch
This filter reduces the pixel value range. It maps the pixel values from 0 to 255.
l Optical Density
This filter specifies an inversion of pixel values based on a logarithmic scale. The result is an output image that
reveals the density of objects and features in the input image by measuring the amount of light that passes
through them. Denser objects and features are represented by lighter pixels in the output image.
l Invert
This filter specifies an inversion of pixel values based on the 256-step greyscale. The result is an output image
that is a “negative” of the input image.

To use Image Filtering, perform the following steps:

1. On the Image Filtering pane, click Add.

2. Select a filter from the Filter Properties drop-down box. You can add more than one filter. You can also specify
the order in which filtering is done by moving the filters using the Up and Down buttons.
3. If the filter you selected require further settings, change properties according to your needs.
4. Change the selection in the Image to Use group box according to the symbology you want to be filtered (after
making sure that that Symbology is enabled):
If no image is read, the Results Display shows the image according to your selection under No-Read Image.
5. Go to the Displayed Image Settings pane and change the Images to Use according to what you want to see on
Live Display: the original or the filtered image.

50
 Using Your DataMan 300

6. You can compare the original and filtered results on the Results Display if you choose the images from the Read
Result History.
The example images were taken using the Equalize filter.

Training the Reader

Training your reader with the expected symbology can make the time required to decode successive symbols more
consistent. In addition, training may help increase decode yield.
To train your reader, place a code in front of the reader and do one of the following:

l Press and hold the trigger button for a minimum of 3 seconds.

l Click and hold the trigger button in the DataMan Setup Tool for a minimum of 3 seconds.

l Click Train Code in the Results Display pane.

You can use training in Single, Burst, Continuous or Self trigger modes.

Note: Only a single symbol of each symbology kind can be trained.

Training Feedback
The second LED from left on the reader glows green to indicate that it is currently trained, or yellow to indicate that it is
not trained.

Connect the reader to the DataMan Setup Tool to untrain it and allow it to recognize other enabled symbologies.

51
 Using Your DataMan 300

Incremental Training for Multiple Symbologies

If you want to train the reader to recognize multiple symbologies, you can present a single image showing all the desired
symbologies and perform the training procedure previously described.
If you cannot present a single image showing all the necessary symbologies, you can enable incremental training on the
Training tab of the Symbology Settings pane:

With incremental training enabled, you can train the reader using multiple images showing the symbologies you expect
to decode. The reader will train each new symbology while retaining the existing trained symbologies.

Package Detection Support

You can connect your package detection sensor to one of the digital inputs of your DataMan reader. When the reader
receives a signal that a package is detected, images that the reader collected are not discarded at the end of the trigger.
This way you can make sure that there was a package there, only the code was not readable. Looking at the No Read
images will help you find out why there was no decode results.
Package detection is only supported with Continuous trigger mode.
To make sure that the No Read images are collected, perform the following:

1. Connect your package detection device to one of the Inputs of your reader.
2. On the Inputs tab (under System Settings), check Allow Buffered No-Read Images on the input you connected
your reader to.
3. On the Image Record and Playback pane of the DataMan Setup Tool, change What Images to Buffer to All, or
No Read.

l In the case of All, good reads are also saved together with No Reads.
l In the case of No Read the image is buffered if the reader fails to read.

For more information, see the DataMan Fixed Mount Readers Reference, available through the Windows Start menu
or the DataMan Setup Tool Help menu.

High-Speed Output Lines

Specification Description
Voltage 26.4V maximum through external load
Current 50mA maximum sink current
OFF state leakage current 100µA
External load resistance 240 Ohms to 10K Ohms
Each line rated at a maximum 50mA, protected against over-current, short circuits and transients from
switching inductive loads. High current inductive loads require external protection diode.

The high-speed outputs can be used as either NPN (pull-down) or PNP (pull-up) lines. For NPN lines, the external load
should be connected between the output and the positive supply voltage (<26.4V). The outputs pull down to less than 3V
when ON, which causes current to flow through the load. When the outputs are OFF, no current flows through the load.

For PNP lines, the external load should be connected between the output and the negative supply voltage (0V). When
connected to a 24VDC power supply, the outputs pull up greater than 21V when ON, and current flows through the load.
When the outputs are OFF, no current flows through the load.

57
 Connections, Optics, and Lighting

High-Speed Output Wiring

To connect to an NPN-compatible PLC input, connect Output 0, Output 1, Output 2, or Output 3 directly to the PLC input.
When enabled, the output pulls the PLC input down to less than 3V.

To connect to a PNP-compatible PLC input, connect Output 0, Output 1, Output 2 or Output 3 directly to the PLC input.
When enabled, the output pulls the PLC input up to greater than 21V.

To connect the high-speed outputs to a relay, LED or similar load, connect the negative side of the load to the output and
the positive side to +24V. When the output switches on, the negative side of the load is pulled down to less than 3V, and
24 appears across the load. Use a protection diode for a large inductive load, with the anode connected to the output
and the cathode connected to +24V.

58
 Connections, Optics, and Lighting

Ethernet M12 to RJ45 Cable (CCB-84901-y00x-xx)

The Ethernet cable provides Ethernet connection for network communications. The Ethernet cable can be connected to a
single device or provide connections to multiple devices via a network switch or router.

Note: Cables are sold separately. The wiring for this cable follows standard industrial Ethernet M12 specifications.
This differs from the 568B standard.

Acquisition Triggering
The acquisition trigger input on the readeris opto-isolated. To trigger from an NPN (pull-down) type photo-detector or
PLC output, connect Common In to +24V and connect In 0 to the output of the detector. When the output turns on, it pulls
In 0 down to 0V, turning the opto-coupler on.
To trigger from an PNP (pull-up) photo-detector or PLC output, connect In 0 to the output of the detector and connect
Common In to 0V. When the output turns on, it pulls In 0 up to +24V, turning the opto-coupler ON.
