Cognex DataMan 380 Overview
The Cognex DataMan 380 is a high-resolution fixed-mount barcode reader series with 8 MP, 12 MP and 16 MP sensors and acquisition rates of 25, 23 and 18 frames per second. The large field of view covers wide conveyors, pallets and trays, so several 1D and 2D codes are read in a single image during logistics scanning and robot palletizing or depalletizing. The reader takes an integrated lens or a C-mount lens and works with integrated or external lighting. It has two Ethernet ports, an opto-isolated trigger input and up to three inputs and four outputs through the breakout cable. Communication runs over EtherNet/IP, PROFINET and SLMP.
