MATRIX 300™
APPLICATIONS
IDENTIFICATION
The Matrix 300™ is a ultra-compact image based 
bar code reader designed for performance on high 
speed and Direct Part Marking (DPM) applications.
The Matrix 300™ combines a high resolution sensor 
with ultra-fast image acquisition:  1.3 megapixels, 
60 frames per second.  The optical system 
incorporates a liquid lens module for the electronic 
control of the focus. As result the reader offers 
automatic focus adjustment without the addition 
of moving parts.
The integrated illuminator is embedded over the 
entire front surface of the reader.  This innovative 
design results in bright and uniform illumination of 
the bar code.   The lighting design uses both bright 
field and dark field patterns which provide perfect 
illumination on normal, etched, highly reflective or 
textured surfaces. 
With exceptionally small physical dimensions and 
rotating connector, the Matrix 300™ can be easily 
integrated into the tightest spaces.  The Power 
over Ethernet (POE) option is one of the unique cost 
effective features, power and communication is 
provided to the reader through a standard single 
Ethernet connection.
The Matrix 300™ is the most cost effective solution 
for bar code imagers, providing onboard PROFINET-
IO and eliminating external communication boxes 
or converters. The Matrix 300™  interfaces directly 
with a PROFINET enabled PLC, reducing the 
complexity and cost of the solution. The M12, 4 pole 
connection sets a standard that allows for easy 
integration into existing systems.
