Trigger Types
The DataMan 380 readers support the following trigger modes:lSelf: At a time interval you configure , the reader acquires an image and runs the job continuously.

lSingle (external trigger): 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.

lPresentation: Scans, decodes and reports a single code in the field of view. The reader relies on an internal timing
mechanism to acquire images.

lManual: 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.

Burst (external trigger): Performs multiple image acquisitions based on an external trigger and decodes any symbol
appearing in a single image or within a sequence of images, or multiple symbols in a single image or within asequence of images when multicode is enabled. You can control the number of images within each burst and theinterval between image acquisitions.

lContinuous (external trigger): Begins acquiring images based on a single external trigger and continues to acquireand decode images until a symbol is found and decoded, or until multiple images containing as many codes as
specified in multicode mode are located, or until the trigger is released. You can configure your reader to acquire
images based on the start and stop signal from separate digital IO pulses.

Acquisition Trigger Input
The reader features one acquisition trigger input, which is optically isolated. You can configure the acquisition trigger input totrigger from an NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) device.
l

To trigger from an NPN type photoelectric sensor or PLC output, connect COMMON IN to +24 VDC and connect IN 0
to the output of the photoelectric sensor. When the output turns ON, it pulls TRIGGER down to 0 VDC, turning the
opto-coupler ON.

l

To trigger from a PNP photoelectric sensor or PLC output, connect IN 0 to the output of the photoelectric sensor andconnect COMMON IN to 0 VDC. When the output turns ON, it pulls TRIGGER up to +24 VDC, turning the optocoupler ON.

IMAX: 50 mA maximum sink or source current
Each line is protected against over-current, short circuits and transients from switching inductive loads.
High current inductive loads require an external protection diode.

For NPN lines, the external load should be connected between the output and the positive supply voltage (< 26 VDC). The
output pulls down to less than 3 VDC when ON, which causes current to flow through the load. When the output is OFF, nocurrent flows through the load.

For PNP lines, the external load should be connected between the output and the negative supply voltage (0 VDC). Whenconnected to a 24 VDC power supply, the output pulls up greater than 21 VDC when ON, and current flows through the load.
When the output is OFF, no current flows through the load.
