Troubleshooting an Ethernet Connection
Based on your network conguration, the Setup Tool may not be able to
communicate with the reader and it will not appear in the list of Network
devices.
First check your Ethernet connection with the reader and click Refresh in the
Setup Tool. Next, scan the Enable DHCP code in the Reader Conguration
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 Setup Tool.
If you know the IP address of the reader, use the Add Device option. If you
do not know the IP address, use the Force Network Settings options. Either
method should allow the DataMan 60 reader to appear in the list of Network
devices so that you can connect to it through the Setup Tool and your
Ethernet connection.
You can also use the RS-232 connection to congure the reader with
parameters that allow it to communicate over your Ethernet network.
Industrial Protocols
The DataMan 60 supports the following industrial protocols:
• EtherNet/IP™
• PROFINET
• MC Protocol
• Modbus TCP
There are three ways to enable or disable Industrial Protocols. Using
either method, a reboot is required for the changes to come into effect.
• Enable the protocols using the Industrial Protocols pane of the
Setup Tool (under Communication Settings).
• Scan the appropriate Reader Conguration codes (see Reader
Conguration Codes available through the Windows Start menu or
the Setup Tool Help menu).
• 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.
Select industrial
protocol samples and
tools you want to use
when you install the
DataMan Software.

DataMan 60 Triggering
DataMan 60 readers support the following trigger modes:
• Self: At an interval you congure, the reader automatically detects
and decodes codes in its eld 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 eld of view for the duration of the re-read
delay.
• 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.
• Presentation: Scans, decodes and reports a single code in the eld of
view. The reader relies on an internal timing mechanism to acquire
images.
• Manual: Begins acquiring images when you send an external trigger,
and continues acquiring images until a symbol is found and decoded
or you stop the external triggering.
• 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.
• 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 specied in multicode mode are located, or until the trigger
is released. You can congure your reader to acquire images based
on the start and stop signal from separate digital IO pulses.
External Triggers
If you are using external triggering you can use any of these methods to
trigger your DataMan 60 series reader:
• Send a pulse on the I/O cable:
• Input 0 (white)
• Input 1 (white/black)
• Send a serial trigger command over the RS-232 connection or
Ethernet connection.
• Press <CTRL>-T on the keyboard while the Setup Tool has the input
focus.
• Click the Trigger button in the Setup Tool:

Multi-Reader Triggering
For trigger modes other than Presentation, the DataMan 60 supports
multi-reader triggering, also known as master-slave conguration.
In this conguration, you congure 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 eld of view reading
and reading codes from multiple product surfaces:
To congure 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.
I/O Cable
The I/O 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.
For RS-232, use the Power Supply return path for ground.
NOTE: GND (Pin 4) is connected to the reader housing, cable shield, and DB15 shell.

Digital Output Lines
The digital 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 (<24V). The outputs pull
down to less than 3V when ON, which causes current to ow through
the load. When the outputs are OFF, no current ows through the load.
Outputs are not galvanic isolated but need to be referenced to ground.

You can connect multiple DataMan 60 readers to a single PC (or other device
equipped with a serial port) using a multi-port connection.
A multi-port connection creates a daisy-chain of readers. Each reader receives
serial data from the previous reader and transmits it to the next reader. When
a reader transmits data, it is passed through each of the readers in the chain
between it and the PC.
Because of the large number of possible congurations, Cognex does not
supply cabling for multi-port DataMan 60 connections. Instead, you must
construct your own cable that meets the requirements of your system
conguration.
The cable must provide a DB-9 connector for each DataMan 60 serial cable and
a DB-9 connector for the PC serial port. Each DB-9 connector must provide Tx

Data, Rx Data, and ground. The Tx Data and Rx Data pins on adjacent
connectors must be connected to provide the multi-port connection.
The following diagram shows how to create a multi-port cable for a
3-reader system:

38 DataMan 60 Quick Reference Guide DataMan 60 Quick Reference Guide 39
Conguring for Multi-Port Operation
You must connect the Setup Tool to each DataMan 60 in turn and enable multi-
port operation. Click the Communication Settings task and check the Enable
Multi-Port (RS-232 Sharing) check box.
There is no guaranteed delivery order when multiple readers transmit data
using a multi-port connection; read results may arrive at the PC in any order.
You can congure each DataMan 60 reader in a multi-port connection to add
identifying data to each read result. Your PC application can then determine
which reader produced a specic read result.
To do this, click on the Data Formatting task, click the appropriate Standard
box (for each symbology that you are using), go to the Standard Formatting
pane, and enter text in the Leading Text eld. (You can also add trailing text
by entering text in the Terminating Text eld.)
You can obtain the best results when using multi-port connections by
keeping the following usage guidelines in mind as you design your
system:
• The maximum cable length between any two DataMan readers or
between the PC and any DataMan reader should be no greater than
15 meters.
• There is no xed limit to the number of DataMan readers that you
can connect to a single PC. Each reader introduces a delay of about
100 msec when it retransmits received serial data. If you have 5
readers, this means that there will be a 400 msec delay between the
time the rst reader in the chain transmits data and the PC receives
it.
• Each DataMan reader must receive a hardware trigger signal on its
Input 0 line. You can wire the input ports to a common trigger signal
or you can provide individual triggers for each reader.
• If any reader in the multi-port chain loses power or becomes
disconnected, then no data from any other reader will be
transmitted.
• If a DataMan is transmitting its own read result, it will buffer any
data received from another reader until it has nished its own data
transmission. If a DataMan reader is transmitting another reader’s
data, it will buffer its own data if it receives a trigger signal while it is
processing the other reader’s data.
• If you use a single power supply for multiple readers, make sure that
the power supply can provide enough power for all of the readers.
• You cannot connect a reader to the Setup Tool over RS-232 once
multiport is enabled. You must rst scan the Disable Multi-Port code
from the Reader Conguration Codes, available from the Start menu.
