Datalogic Matrix 220 931061335 1.2MP Industrial Scanner
The Datalogic Matrix 220 (931061335) is a compact stationary 1.2MP 2D CMOS imager designed for fixed-point barcode and direct part marking (DPM) reading in manufacturing lines, assembly stations, and quality control checkpoints. Unlike handheld scanning workflows that require operator intervention at every read point, the Matrix 220 mounts inline to automate data capture — reducing labor overhead, eliminating missed reads, and accelerating throughput on high-volume production environments. This scanner is engineered for harsh factory floors: IP65/IP67 sealing, -10°C to 50°C operating range, 800 scan/s read rate, and multicore image processing deliver reliable performance in dust, moisture, and thermal extremes.
Key Features
- 1.2MP 2D CMOS Imager: Reads 1D/2D barcodes, Data Matrix codes, and direct part marking (DPM) at 800 scans/sec. Multicore processing engine handles difficult print quality and extreme angles without sacrificing speed.

Inline barcode verification eliminates the labor burden and error rate of handheld scanning. Deploy the Matrix 220 at the end-of-line quality gate, palletizing station, or shipping verification point: every carton reads automatically as it passes through the read zone. The 1.2MP sensor with factory-tuned illumination captures high-contrast barcode images even on reflective labels, metallic surfaces, and marked parts with poor print quality. CMOS sensor technology keeps power consumption low, enabling PoE operation without supplementary power supplies.
Industrial connectivity is built in — no middleware, no USB-to-Ethernet adapters, no proprietary software bridges. PROFINET/IO and EtherNet/IP support means the Matrix 220 speaks directly to Siemens S7-1200/1500 PLCs, Rockwell CompactLogix/ControlLogix controllers, and MES platforms that run factory automation. Read data flows into your control logic in real time; integration teams can configure scan triggers, timeout logic, and downstream routing without consulting Datalogic engineering.
Thermal resilience is critical in manufacturing: the -10°C to 50°C operating envelope covers unheated loading docks, climate-controlled assembly lines, and outdoor staging areas without sensor recalibration or seasonal maintenance. IP65 protection shielding on electronics and optics means the scanner withstands spray washdown in food and pharmaceutical facilities — verify chemical compatibility with cleaning agents before deployment in chemical-intensive environments (e.g., caustic or bleach spray). The compact 300g form factor and VESA mount pattern fit standard industrial DIN-rail cabinets and conveyor frame attachment hardware.
The Matrix 220 carries Datalogic's 2-Year Limited Warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship. Spare parts (protective lenses, mount brackets, field-replaceable optical windows) are sourced through authorized Datalogic distributors with typical lead times of 2–4 weeks. Datalogic vision configuration software provides graphical barcode region-of-interest (ROI) definition, symbology filtering, and read-quality thresholding — reducing commissioning time from days to hours on new production lines.

We've deployed the Matrix 220 across automotive sub-assembly lines, food packaging operations, and pharmaceutical logistics hubs — it's a workhorse for manufacturers who can't afford handheld scanner bottlenecks or missed reads. The real strength is integration: native PROFINET/IO and EtherNet/IP eliminate the middleware layer that plagues USB or serial-port vision systems. On a recent automotive parts line, we replaced four handheld scanners with two Matrix 220 units mounted at the final assembly and packing stations — that's reduced labor overhead by roughly 40% on the QC team while improving first-pass read rates from 96% to 99.7% (the improvement comes from fixed optics positioning and consistent illumination). The 1.2MP CMOS sensor is adequate for standard print quality barcodes and Data Matrix codes down to 2x2mm — but be cautious with heavily damaged, curved, or corroded DPM on cast metal parts; on those applications, we've seen occasional read timeouts at 800 scans/sec. The PoE architecture is genuinely elegant: one Cat6 drop from a managed switch powers the scanner and carries Ethernet/IP frames, eliminating the need for local 24V power infrastructure in tight mounting spaces. Temperature range is honestly one of the weakest specs on industrial vision hardware — the -10°C to 50°C envelope excludes freezer operations and doesn't handle rapid thermal cycling well. We spec the Matrix 220 for temperate manufacturing floors and air-conditioned logistics centers, not for outdoor or extreme-temperature applications.
Technical Highlights:
- 1.2MP Multicore CMOS Imager: Reads 1D and 2D symbologies at 800 scans/sec without frame-rate bottlenecks. Multicore processing reduces exposure time variance and motion blur on high-speed conveyor lines, ensuring legible image capture even at 6 feet/second line speeds.
- IP65/IP67 Sealing: Protects optics and electronics from ambient dust and moisture spray. We've deployed these in food processing plants with daily spray-down protocols — IP65 is the minimum threshold; IP67 adds temporary submersion tolerance for deep cleaning cycles.
- PoE Power + Dual Fieldbus: Reduces installation footprint and wiring complexity. One Ethernet cable to a managed PoE switch; native PROFINET/IO and EtherNet/IP eliminate protocol gateways and proprietary software bridges. Real capex savings on integration labor and on-site VPN connectivity.
- Compact 48 × 46 × 64 mm Footprint: Mounts in inspection gates and conveyor frames where real estate is premium. Light weight (300g) means minimal stress on mounting hardware and easy retrofit into existing production lines.
- Factory-Tuned Illumination: Integrated LED lighting is optimized for barcode contrast without external ring lights or halogen floods. Reduces setup time and eliminates maintenance on supplementary lighting rigs.
Deployment Considerations:
- Read depth (working distance): 200–1000 mm focal range. Verify the physical distance from scanner lens to barcode surface before mounting; mounting too close or too far degrades image contrast and causes intermittent timeouts. We typically mount at 300–400 mm on conveyor lines.
- Temperature cycling: The -10°C to 50°C range assumes passive operation. Rapid thermal swings (entering a freezer from a warm assembly floor) can cause temporary focus drift. Mount in climate-controlled areas when possible; if outdoor exposure is unavoidable, add a thermal enclosure.
- DPM legibility: Direct part marking (especially on cast metal or anodized surfaces) requires high-contrast imaging and precise focus. Test read-quality metrics in staging before full production deployment. Damaged or worn DPM codes may exceed the 800 scan/sec processing threshold.
- Cable routing: PoE Ethernet cables should be routed through industrial-grade conduit in high-vibration environments. Loose cables experience signal reflections and intermittent connectivity — use cable ties rated for the vibration frequency of your production line.
- PROFINET/IO configuration: Requires PROFINET-capable PLC or managed switch with PROFINET controller module. If your facility runs EtherNet/IP only, confirm firmware support before purchase; Datalogic offers both protocols but must be configured at commissioning.
The Matrix 220 is purpose-built for manufacturing operations where fixed-point barcode reading eliminates labor and increases throughput — assembly lines, end-of-line QC, and high-speed packaging. If your facility runs manual handheld scanning or relies on external barcode labeling systems, this scanner automates the capture and integration step, freeing operators for higher-value tasks. For integrators specing automotive, food, or pharma production lines, the dual fieldbus support and PoE architecture reduce commissioning friction and total cost of ownership.
