The Cognex DMR-200X Fixed Mount Barcode Reader supports high-speed part moving applications, and includes 1DMax for 1D reading and IDQuick for high-speed 2D reading. Power is supplied to the reader using a Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector. Using an RS-232 connection can be necessary to configure the reader with parameters that allow it to communicate over an Ethernet network.
Each reader can store its current set of run-time parameters to a configuration (.cfg) file, which contains information such as the enabled symbologies and how any output data should be formatted. The same .cfg file can be loaded onto multiple readers, as the file does not contain identification information such as the IP address or device name of the reader used to create it. A reader can also generate a Cognex device configuration (.cdc) file, which stores the set of run-time parameters plus any identification data, such as the name of the device, its IP address, subnet mask, and so on. Cognex recommends generating a device configuration file for each reader to allow for a reader to be restored to its operating state with minimal effort.
