About DataMan 8000

The DataMan 8000 series of readers offers the industry’s most advanced
technology for reading 1D and 2D codes regardless of size, quality, printing
method or surface, and is the only handheld ID reader that offers Industrial
Ethernet communication and liquid lens technology.

The DataMan 8000 series is available in two models, each with patented
1DMax and 2DMax algorithms, liquid lens technology, and future-proof modular
communication slide-ins with optional Industrial Ethernet capability.

The DataMan 8500 readers use Cognex’s patented
UltraLight® technology for superior image formation
on any mark type and surface. UltraLight illumination
provides dark eld, bright eld and diffuse lighting all
in one electronically controlled light.

The DataMan 8100 readers feature integrated bright
eld illumination ideal for applications that require
superior performance without specialty lighting.

Both models are available with the following communication options:

Ethernet RS-232 USB Wireless

An intelligent base station is also provided when the DataMan 8000
reader uses the wireless communication module. The base station acts
as a router between the reader and your computer or network.

Use the Setup Tool Menu Bar

Each reader can store its current set of runtime parameters to a conguration
(.cfg) le, which contains information such as the enabled symbologies and
how any output data should be formatted.

The same conguration le can be loaded onto multiple readers, as the le
does not contain identication information such as the IP address or device
name of the reader used to create it.

A reader can also generate a Cognex device conguration (.cdc) le, which
stores the set of runtime parameters plus any identication data, such as
the name of the device, its IP address, subnet mask, and so on. Cognex
recommends generating a device conguration le for each reader to allow you
to restore a reader to its operating state with minimal effort.

Use the File menu of the Setup Tool to manage .cfg and .cdc les:

Troubleshooting an Ethernet Connection

If your reader does not appear in the Setup Tool’s list of network
devices, you may need to adjust your network settings.

First check your Ethernet connection and click Refresh in the Setup
Tool. Next, scan the Enable DHCP code below (which you can also
nd in the DataMan Reader Conguration Codes document available
from the Windows Start menu). This might allow the reader to acquire
a suitable IP address from a DHCP server on your subnet.

If the reader still does not appear, you can use either the Add Device
or Force Network Settings options in the Setup Tool.

If you know the IP address of the reader, use the Add Device option.
If you do not know the IP address, use the Force Network Settings
options. Either method should allow the DataMan 8000 reader to
appear in the list of Network devices so that you can connect to it
through the Setup Tool and your Ethernet connection.

If none of the above helps, reset your reader to factory defaults by
scanning the Reser Scanner to Factory Defaults code below.

NOTES

• When the reader is on the base, communication is established by
means of cradle contacts. Wireless communication is disabled.

• Congure wireless communication settings by connecting to the
base station. In order for the changed settings to be synchronized
between the DataMan 8000 wireless reader and the base station,
place your reader in the base station after your changes are saved.
To assign a static IP address to the base station or the reader when
communicating via Ethernet, connect to the base station in the Setup
Tool. The base station, however, auto-assigns the IP address to the
reader when they become paired.

• When you connect with the base station to a terminal program, your
wireless reader sends decode results to the terminal, but you cannot
send commands to the reader.

• If you want to unpair your reader from the base station, you can
either click Unassign in the Setup Tool’s Communication Settings
pane’s Wireless tab (when you are connected either with the
reader or the base station), or scan the “Unassign Reader” reader
conguration code.

• If you place the wrong reader (that is, a reader that is not associated
with the base station) into the base station, the base station status
indicator ashes red and a long beep is sounded.

The base station is visible as connected through either RS-232, USB or
Ethernet, but it routes data through the wireless interface to the reader.

Wireless Reader: Buffering Data

When you are within the wireless range of the base station, your
wireless reader sends decoded data to your PC through the base station,
just as if you used a tethered reader. You can also see the decoded
images in the Setup Tool, if it is running and connected to the reader.

When you leave the wireless range, however, you lose connection to
your PC, but you can still keep reading codes. The decoded data is saved
in the buffer of the reader.

This buffered data appears on your PC again when you come back within
the wireless range, but ONLY IF you were connected to a terminal
program when you left the wireless range.

Buffered read results on the reader are not displayed in the Setup Tool;
they are only transmitted over an existing keyboard emulation, RS-232
Serial or TCP/IP Telnet connection. NOTE that the images acquired by
the reader when it is out of wireless range are never saved, and can not
be retrieved.

Open a connection with the reader in a terminal program so that you
gain the buffered data when wireless connection is established again.

take it off.

The battery should not be disposed of along with municipal waste.
Use the appropriate separate take-back systems for battery disposal.

2. Hold the reader in an upright
position and the battery will slide out
of the handle. NOTE that you may
need to shake the reader slightly.

3. Put the replacement battery into the slot. The battery has a small

triangle on one of its side. Make sure you insert the battery triangle end
rst.

4. Put the end cap back on and twist it.

Make sure the

Field of View and Reading Distances

There is a range of reading distances available for different code sizes
and focus positions. Select a focus position that allows you to read the
desired code sizes at the desired working distance.

• If your application has a consistent reading range, set the focus
range to a limited depth of eld with no steps (for example, set it to

20) or with limited steps (for example, set it to 2 steps between 0
and 30). This way you can achieve fast performance.

• If your application has a variety of code types and sizes, set the
focus range to a wider depth of eld with increased number of steps
(for example, set it to 6 steps between 0 and 200). This way you can
get better coverage.

When you are charging the auxilliary battery, the base station’s spare battery
status indicator displays either charging in progress (red) or fully charged
(green).

For a map of the eld of view and reading distances, see pages 42-43.

Trigger Types

The DataMan 8000 trigger mode determines when the reader attempts to read
a code. Use the Setup Tool, or the appropriate reader conguration codes, to
change trigger types.

The following trigger types are supported:

Industrial Protocols

The DataMan 8000 corded readers support the following industrial
protocols:

• EtherNet/IP™

• PROFINET

• MC Protocol

• Modbus TCP

• Presentation: The laser aimer is always on. When motion is detected in front
of the reader, the reader will turn on and scan for a symbol. The reader
relies on an internal timing mechanism to acquire images.

• Manual (default): Begins acquiring images when you press the trigger
button on the reader, and continues acquiring images until a symbol is found
and decoded or you release the button.

Select the industrial
protocol tools and
sample programs
when installing the
Setup Tool.

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 Conguration codes (see Reader

Conguration Codes available through the Windows Start menu).

• Send the appropriate DMCC (see Command Reference available

through the Windows Start menu).

For more information on using the industrial protocols, read the
DataMan Communications and Programming Guide available through

the Windows Start menu.
