Setting Up Your DataMan 260 Signal: 24 VDC Ethernet Model Signal: PoE Ethernet Model 5m I/O Breakout Cable (CCB-M12x12Fy-xx) The I/O cable provides access to trigger and high-speed outputs. You can clip unused wires short or use a tie made of non-conductive material to tie them back.
Setting Up Your DataMan 260 The drawing on the left shows the plug on the device. 15m I/O Breakout Cable (CCB-PWRIO-15) The I/O cable provides access to trigger and high-speed outputs. The cable is not terminated. You can clip unused wires short or use a tie made of non-conductive material to tie them back.
Setting Up Your DataMan 260 Acquisition Triggering The acquisition trigger input on the reader is opto-isolated. To trigger from an NPN (pull-down) type photo-detector or PLC output, connect Common In to +24VDC and connect In 0 to the output of the detector. When the output turns on, it pulls Common In down to 0VDC, turning the opto-coupler on. To trigger from a PNP (pull-up) type photo-detector or PLC output, connect In 0 to the output of the detector and connect Common In to 0VDC.
Setting Up Your DataMan 260 Specification Description Voltage 28VDC maximum through external load 50mA maximum ON sink or source 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.
Setting Up Your DataMan 260 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 21VDC. 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 +24VDC.

Setting Up Your DataMan 260 You must construct your own cable that meets the requirements of your system configuration. The cable must provide a DB-15 connector for each DataMan 260 and a DB-9 connector for the PC serial port. Each DB- 15 connector must provide Tx Data, Rx Data, Trigger (Input 0), ground, and DC power.

Setting Up Your DataMan 260 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 configure each DataMan 260 reader in a multi-port connection to add identifying data to each read result.
3. Connect the DataMan 260 to your PC. 4. Choose Start > Programs > Cognex > DataMan Software vx.x.x > Setup Tool to launch the DataMan Setup Tool. Detected readers will appear under COM ports. 5. Click Refresh to update the list of connected devices.
Using Your DataMan 260 1. Enable the protocols using the Industrial Protocols pane of the DataMan Setup Tool (under Communication Settings). 2. Scan the appropriate Reader Configuration codes (see Reader Configuration Codes available through the Windows Start menu or the DataMan Setup Tool Help menu). 3.
Using Your DataMan 260 3. Remount the front cover. Observing the tightening sequence below, tighten all four screws to 9 Ncm using a torque wrench. Note: If you use an optical filter and the illumination was removed, remount the illumination module first and then remount the front cover.
Using Your DataMan 260 Single: 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: Repeatedly scans for a symbol and decodes it whenever one is detected. The reader relies on an internal timing mechanism to acquire images.
Using Your DataMan 260 Connect the reader to the DataMan Setup Tool to untrain it and allow it to recognize other enabled symbologies. 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 described in the previous section.
Cleaning and Maintenance Cleaning and Maintenance Cleaning the Reader Housing To clean the outside of the reader housing, use a small amount of mild detergent cleaner or isopropyl alcohol on a cleaning cloth. Do not pour the cleaner directly onto the reader housing. CAUTION: Do not attempt to clean any DataMan product with harsh or corrosive solvents, including lye, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or gasoline.
Precautions Precautions To reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage, observe the following precautions when you install the Cognex product: This device requires the use of an LPS or NEC class 2 power supply (non-PoE device) or the use of a PoE Class 1 (PoE device).
Please read these guidelines carefully before using your device. Note: For the most current CE declaration and regulatory conformity information, see the Cognex support site: cognex.com/support. CAUTION: This device requires the use of a PoE Class 1 or 24V DC LPS power supply.
