Precautions

To reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage, observe the following precautions when you install the Cognex product:

  • Route cables and wires away from high-current wiring or high-voltage power sources to reduce the risk of damage or malfunction from the following causes: over-voltage, line noise, electrostatic discharge (ESD), power surges, or other irregularities in the power supply.
  • Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for regulatory compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
  • Ensure that the cable bend radius begins at least six inches from the connector. Cable shielding can be degraded or cables can be damaged or wear out faster if a service loop or bend radius is tighter than 10X the cable diameter.
  • This device should be used in accordance with the instructions in this manual.
  • All specifications are for reference purposes only and can change without notice.
  • This product is intended for industrial use in automated manufacturing or similar applications.
  • The safety of any system incorporating this product is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.
  • This product does not contain user-serviceable parts. Do not make electrical or mechanical modifications to product components. Unauthorized modifications can void your warranty.

Connecting the Reader

  • Perform the following steps:
    1. Connect the breakout cable.
    2. Connect the reader to the PC.
  • For information on the pinout and the wire colors, see section Connections, Optics and Lighting in the DataMan 50 Reference Manual.

Installation

  • Installation procedures are detailed in the DataMan 50 Reference Manual, which is installed with the DataMan Setup Tool. The DataMan Setup Tool is available fromthe DataMan support site: http://www.cognex.com/support/dataman.
  • To access documentation, open the WindowsStart menu, select AllPrograms > Cognex > DataMan Software vx.x.x > Documentation.

Note:

  • Cables are sold separately.
  • If a standard component is missing or damaged, immediately contact your CognexAuthorized Service Provider (ASP) or Cognex
    TechnicalSupport.

CAUTION: All cable connectors are “keyed” to fit the connectors on the DataMan system; do not force the connectors or damage may occur.

  1. After installing the software, connect the DataMan 50 to your PC.
  2. Launch the DataMan Setup Tool and click Refresh.
  3. Select your DataMan 50 Series reader from the list and click Connect.

Mounting

  • Mounting the DataMan reader at a slight angle (15°) can reduce reflections and improve performance.
  • Use the set of mounting holes on the rear part to mount the DataMan reader.

Connect the Breakout Cable

Note: You can clip unused wires short or use a tie made of non-conductive material to tie them back. For RS-232, use the Power Supply return path for ground.

  1. Verify that the power supply being used is unplugged and not receiving power.
  2. Connect the cable on the back of the device to either a USB adapter cable with power tab or to an RS-232 adapter cable with power tab.
  3. Connect a 6 V power supply.
  4. Restore power to the power supply and turn it on if necessary.
