The Datalogic Matrix 300N is an ultra-compact, fixed-mount image-based barcode reader built for industrial automation engineers and systems integrators who demand fast, accurate reading of both 1D and 2D codes — including Direct Part Marking (DPM) applications. Its 1.3-megapixel CMOS global shutter sensor captures images at 60 frames per second, while a liquid lens module provides automatic electronic focus control without moving parts. An integrated dual illuminator combining bright field and dark field patterns delivers uniform lighting across normal, etched, reflective, and textured surfaces. With Ethernet (including Power over Ethernet) and serial interfaces, plus onboard PROFINET-IO and Ethernet/IP, it connects directly to PLCs without external converters. Rated IP67, it withstands harsh industrial environments across manufacturing, automotive, electronics, food and beverage, medical, clinical lab automation, and logistics sectors.
