Cognex Dataman 500 Series barcode readers

The DataMan 500 Series offers flexible lens and interchangeable lighting options to achieve greater depth of field than other imaging-based barcode scanners. Lens options include a choice of C-mount or liquid varifocal lens, while lighting options include integrated LED lighting and a high-powered lighting accessory for high-performance reading.

The DataMan 500 Series supports Cognex Connect™ communication capabilities, including EtherNet/IP and PROFINET. This allows the barcode reader to be accessed from any network-connected terminal, without requiring a host PC for data translation to a central PLC or network. The protocols also allow direct archiving of data files and images via FTP support for later review and analysis.

With extensive connectivity, the DataMan 500 Series delivers advanced network performance, enabling seamless integration into industrial systems and networks. This simplifies data and image management, as well as integrating the barcode reader into industrial applications.
