Industrial Protocols
The DataMan 300 series readers support 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 Configuration codes
(see
Reader
Configuration 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.
Test Mode
Test mode lets you configure and test a reader that is connected to a
production line without needing to slow down or stop your line. To enter
Test mode,
• Press the button (to which you previously assigned this function) on
the device for 3 seconds
• Send a DataMan Control Command (DMCC)
• Click the Test Mode button in the Setup Tool
While in test mode, the reader by default ignores all external trigger
sources and disables all input and output lines.
Check
Automatic Triggering
, and the reader will simulate external
triggers at the interval that you specify.
Click
Accept Trigger Batch
, and the reader will accept and process a
limited number of external
triggers at production speed.
In both cases, you can view
images and decodes using
production settings but at a
slower rate and without
sending output signals to
your line.
