  • Page 12: Installing A C-Mount Lens

    Installing a C-Mount Lens DataMan 503 ships with no lens installed. You must install a standard C-mount lens before using your reader. For reading distances and field of view charts, see the DataMan Fixed Mount Reference, available through the Windows Start menu or the DataMan Setup Tool Help menu.
  • Page 13: Synchronized Acquisition

    Setting Up Your DataMan Synchronized Acquisition 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 strobed illumination to expose all sensors simultaneously. You can synchronize up to 16 readers, with optionally triggering them in a defined sequence to avoid opposing readers from blinding each other.

    Detected readers will appear under COM ports. 5. Click Refresh to update the list of connected devices. 6. Select a COM port that lists DataMan 503 and click Connect. 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.
  • Page 15: Industrial Protocols

    Using Your DataMan 503 Reader Industrial Protocols The DataMan 503 series readers support the following industrial protocols: EtherNet/IP PROFINET MC Protocol Modbus TCP Select industrial protocol samples and tools you want to use when you install the DataMan Software. There are three ways to enable or disable Industrial Protocols. Using either method, a reboot is required for the changes to come into effect.
  • Page 16: Dataman 503 Triggering

    The high-speed image acquisition and processing capabilities of the DataMan 503 allow it to detect and decode codes at up to 80 codes per second, multiple decodes per scan. 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.
  • Page 17: Training The Reader

    Using Your DataMan 503 Reader Multi-reader triggering is used to support extended field of view reading and reading codes from multiple product surfaces: To configure multi-reader triggering, click Toggle Group Triggering in the group editor page of the DataMan Setup Tool.
  • Page 18: Training Feedback

    Using Your DataMan 503 Reader Note: Only a single symbol of each symbology kind can be trained. Training Feedback The second LED from the left on the reader glows green to indicate that it is currently trained, or yellow to indicate that it is not trained.

    Connections, Optics and Lighting Connections, Optics and Lighting This part contains descriptions about the external light control, I/O Cables, RS-232 cable,high-speed output lines, high- speed output wiring, Ethernet M12 to RJ45 cable, and acquisition triggering. I/O Cable (CCBL-05-01) The I/O breakout cable provides access to trigger and high-speed outputs. Unused wires can be clipped short or tied back using a tie made of non-conductive material.
  • Page 20: External Light Control (Ccb-M12X4Ms)

    Connections, Optics and Lighting External Light Control (CCB-M12x4MS) A 4-pin cable is provided for the external light control. Current load: average: 500mA, peak: 1A (max. 100µs) Note: This socket does not work if the external light is connected to one of the outputs on the I/O cable.
  • Page 21: High-Speed Output Lines

    Connections, Optics and Lighting High-Speed Output Lines 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 (<28V). The outputs pull down to less than 3V when ON, which causes current to flow through the load.
  • Page 22 Connections, Optics and Lighting 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.
