Description

The GM77-S barcode scanner module utilizes a high-performance CMOS imaging sensor to capture and decode both 1D linear barcodes and 2D Matrix codes with high contrast sensitivity. Its optical system is engineered for a wide depth of field, allowing reliable reading from very close proximity up to mid-range distances, even under varying ambient light conditions up to 100,000 lux.

Designed for embedded integration, the module provides a simple serial command interface via UART or plug-and-play USB HID connectivity. Its low-power design features separate operating and standby current modes, making it suitable for portable and battery-powered applications. The compact form factor and durable construction enable deployment in space-constrained and demanding industrial settings such as inventory management, kiosks, and automated logistics systems.

Key Features

  • High-accuracy CMOS imaging engine capable of reading 1D codes down to 3mil and 2D codes to 5mil.
  • Dual communication interfaces: Standard USB 2.0 and 3.3V TTL UART for maximum compatibility.
  • Wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) and humidity tolerance (5% to 95% non-condensing).
  • Fast startup time (≤250ms) and configurable LED/buzzer feedback for user prompting.
  • Compact and durable mechanical design measuring 21.6 x 12 x 13.2 mm.
  • Optimized optical field with 42° horizontal and 32° vertical viewing angles.
  • Low standby current consumption (10mA on UART) for energy-efficient operation.
  • Supports direct part marking (DPM) reading on various surfaces with a minimum contrast of 25%.

Applications

  • Embedded Point-of-Sale (POS) systems and self-service kiosks for retail and hospitality.
  • Industrial automation for tracking work-in-progress and inventory management on production lines.
  • Logistics and warehouse automation for parcel sorting and asset tracking.
  • Library management systems for book check-in/out and inventory control.
  • Medical device and pharmaceutical tracking for compliance and traceability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the power requirements for the GM77-S module?

The module operates at 3.3V DC. Typical operating current is 180mA, with a standby current of 10mA when using the UART interface. Ensure your power supply can provide stable 3.3V and sufficient current for reliable operation.

How do I communicate with the scanner using the UART interface?

Connect the provided 4-pin cable to the module's UART port (TX, RX, GND, VCC). Use standard TTL serial communication at 3.3V logic levels. The default baud rate is typically 9600 bps, but it may be configurable via command. Refer to the datasheet for the specific command protocol for triggering scans and receiving decoded data strings.

What is the minimum readable barcode size (mil density)?

The scanner can read 1D barcodes with a minimum element width of 3 mils (0.076 mm) and 2D Matrix codes down to 5 mils. Reading performance at these minimum sizes depends on optimal focus within the specified depth of field and sufficient contrast (≥25%).

Can this module read codes printed on curved or reflective surfaces?

The CMOS sensor and integrated lighting are designed for reading on various surfaces. Performance on curved or highly reflective surfaces depends on the specific curvature and reflectivity. For Direct Part Marking (DPM) on metal or plastic, ensure the code contrast meets the minimum 25% requirement and test within the operational depth of field.

What is the operating temperature range for industrial use?

The GM77-S is rated for operation from -40°C to +70°C and storage from -40°C to +70°C, with an operating humidity range of 5% to 95% non-condensing. This makes it suitable for harsh industrial, outdoor, and cold-chain logistics environments.
