MicroHAWK ID-40
NOTE
360o Barcode Reading to Omron NJ/NX Controller
Solution Overview
Six MicroHAWK ID-40 readers are connected in daisy chain conguration to an Omron NJ/NX machine controller
via EtherNet/IP. The NJ/NX controller sends a trigger to the readers, and once a reader decodes a symbol, the
read cycle is stopped for all readers. This solution includes a basic HMI user interface and an NA series panel.
This solution is useful in food and commodity applications in which a decode must be performed on a product's
barcode, but the barcode's location on the product's perimeter is not known. One example is the need to
decode a GS1 Data Matrix on a product as it travels down a conveyor. After the decoded data has been
delivered to the NJ/NX controller, the data could be written to a database as part of a pharmaceutical company's
serialization and traceability implementation.
Solution Features
• Six-reader daisy chain of MicroHAWK ID-40 readers
• Camera trigger via digital input or button on HMI
• Three counters: Trigger, Cycles Read, Overruns
• Counter resets via digital input or HMI
• Decoded data displayed on HMI
• Number ID of reader that decoded symbol displayed on HMI
• Cycle timeout congurable on HMI
• Read time displayed on HMI
• Error detection: Timeout, Overrun, Communication fault on EtherNet/IP port
Supported Symbologies
• Linear (1D) barcodes down to 10 mil:
• Ladder (Vertical) or Picket Fence (Horizontal)
• Picket fence width should not exceed 60% of the
diameter; see example of maximum-width picket
fence 1D barcode in the image below.
• Minimum 1D barcode height = 0.5 inches
• 2D barcodes down to 15 mil
• Data Matrix, Code 128, and UPC/EAN enabled
in the supplied WebLink conguration le.
Additional symbologies supported by modifying
the ID-40’s decode setting.
• 5.1 x 3.8 inch (129.5 x 96.5 millimeter) reader FOV
when ID-40s are mounted as described.
• Refer to MicroHAWK ID-40 Specication Sheet
for full list of supported symbologies.

MicroHAWK ID-40 Setup
MicroHAWK ID-40 Hardware Mounting
1 MicroHAWK ID-40 Hardware Mounting
1.1 Install ID-40 readers as shown in the le “ID-40 360 read cam placement.dwg”. The basic layout is shown
below. The cameras are mounted 245 mm from the center point of the code read position. The
camera pitch (angle) should be perpendicular to the surface containing the barcode, within
+/- 5 degrees.
NOTE: The installer will need to determine the best trigger position based on the type of product to be
read on the conveyor. The current trigger position is based on a 67 mm diameter cylindrical object.
1.2 The ID-40 reader height should be adjusted so that the horizontal linear barcodes (picket fence
orientation) are typically above or below the bright reection of the reader’s illumination. The
image below shows an example in which the barcode is below the bright reection region.
MicroHAWK ID-40 Conguration
2 MicroHAWK ID-40 Conguration
2.1 Connect the power and Ethernet cables to ONLY ID-40 reader 1.
2.2. Using an internet browser type the IP address of the camera. (The factory default IP address is
192.168.188.2. If necessary, change the PC's IP address to 192.168.188.101, subnet 255.255.0.0, to be
on the same subnet.) This will allow you to use WebLink to congure the ID-40.
2.3. Use WebLink to congure the ID-40 for your application. Select Start > Load a Setup and load the le
“360_code_ID40_settings.wls” to load most of the desired parameters to the ID-40. Some of the
important parameters are:
2.3.1. Read Cycle = Custom
2.3.1.1. Trigger = External Level
• External Level allows EIP trigger to control start and stop of read.
2.3.1.2. Capture Mode = Rapid Capture
2.3.1.3. Num Captures = 10
2.3.1.4. Rapid Capture Mode = Timed Capture
2.3.1.5. Delay Between Images = 4000 µs
• For parts moving at 100 FPM.
• Delay should be increased on slower moving conveyors or when Num Captures is reduced.
2.3.1.6. End cycle = New Trigger
2.3.2. Acquire
2.3.2.1. Set parameters to have focused image and freeze part movement.
2.3.2.2. Set Exposure to 1,000 µs or less to use Power Strobe (Extreme Illumination Brightness).
2.3.2.3. Learn best focus using the Spot Focus button (See the MicroHAWK ID User Manual for additional
information.)
2.3.3. Decode
2.3.3.1. Select barcode types to be read in this application. Disable unused barcode types.

2.3.4.1. Illumination Brightness = Extreme (Power Strobe)
2.3.5. Gear icon > Advanced > Read Cycle
2.3.5.1. Image Processing Timeout = 150 ms
• This setting sets a limit on how long the MicroHAWK ID-40 will attempt to read the
barcode in the current image. You will need to determine the decode time for a good
read (circled in the image below) and then set this value to slightly higher. Ideally, this
time should be set as low as possible so that an unreadable image will stop
reading quickly and start processing the next image in the Rapid Capture queue.

ID-40 EtherNet/IP Data in NJ/NX Controller
Storing ID-40 EtherNet/IP Data in NJ/NX Controller
To establish communications between an EtherNet/IP device and the controller, a global variable needs to be
created to store the data in the ID-40 EtherNet/IP Input and Output assemblies. A custom data type formats the
data into smaller logical groups to make the data easier to use.
There are no user tasks in the following two sections, "Custom Data Types" and "Global Variables", as these items

Finishing Solution Installation
Optimizing the Trigger Position
For the fastest read times, the trigger position should be adjusted so that the barcode is read on either the rst or
second image capture regardless of barcode orientation.
19. Optimizing the Trigger Position
19.1. On your PC, open an internet browser and type the IP address of the reader to monitor with WebLink.
In the example below, the IP address 192.168.250.11 is used to monitor reader 1.
19.2. In the WebLink display area, click the button circled in the image above so that it is highlighted blue. This
enables Show All Images Used in Read Cycle. The image in the upper left will be the rst image captured
and the last image will be the rightmost image on the bottom row. The image with the green graphics
over the barcode is the image in which the symbol was decoded.
19.3. Adjust the trigger position so that the barcode is most often read on image 1 or 2 for every reader.
This will produce the shortest decode times.
Optimize Image Capture Delay
It is important to conrm that the image capture delay is set so that the barcode has the greatest chance of
being decoded as it passes the readers. WebLink can be congured to view all images captured during the read
cycle. If the product movement between images needs adjusting, then the ID-40’s image capture delay will
need to be modied.
20. Optimize Image Capture Delay
20.1. On your PC, open an internet browser and type in the IP address of the reader to monitor with WebLink.
In the image above, the IP address 192.168.250.11 is used to monitor reader 1.

20.2. In the WebLink display area, click the button circled in the image above so that it is highlighted blue. This
enables Show All Images Used in Read Cycle. The image in the upper left will be the rst image captured
and the last image will be the rightmost image on the bottom row. The image with the green graphics
over the barcode is the image in which the symbol was decoded.
20.3. Run a product without a barcode past the readers so that all images in the read cycle can be displayed.
Ensure that the product moves from one side of the image to the opposite side for best performance, as
shown in the example below.
20.4. If the product has completely moved beyond the image in the last image captured, reduce the Delay
Between Images to a shorter time.
20.5. If the product did not move enough, increase the Delay Between Images to a longer time.
20.6. Once the image capture delay has been set correctly, click the Save button to save changes to
the reader.
20.7. Repeat steps 20.1 through 20.6 for all ID-40 readers.

Set Read Timeout
The Read Timeout is the maximum time allowed for the decode. The NJ/NX controller project has the Read
Timeout set to 2,000 milliseconds by default. This default value is dened by the value entered in the Initial Value
eld for the HMI_ReadTimeout variable. This variable can be changed at runtime by the operator using the HMI
user interface. To aid in the setting of this variable, the last read time is accessible by monitoring the ReadTime
variable via the HMI or watching this value in SYSMAC Studio.
Set Read Timeout using the HMI
21. Set Read Timeout using the HMI
21.1. Run products with barcodes past the readers at production rates.
21.2. Watch the Read Time value on the HMI and note the longest read time that was reported. In the image
below, the last decode had a read time of 860 milliseconds.
21.3. Tap the Read Timeout numeric value and an on-screen keypad will be displayed as shown below.
Enter a value higher than the longest read time and press Enter. This value will be used until modied by
the user or a power cycle occurs. On a power cycle the Read Cycle will return to the value in the
Initial Value eld in SYSMAC Studio.

Known Issues
23. Known Issues
23.1. The Min_OnTime (TOF) timer is used to extend short duration trigger signals to ensure that the ID-40
readers can have their EtherNet/IP triggers forced low (to stop the previous read if still reading), receive
the acknowledgement that the units are no longer triggered, and then trigger the readers for the
new cycle. This requires that the trigger be on for at least 3 times the RPI, which, in this project, is 20
milliseconds, for a total time of 60 milliseconds.
23.2. If the Min_OnTime timer is still executing the 60 millisecond timer and another trigger is received the
new trigger is ignored. Once the 60 millisecond timer has expired a new trigger will be processed.
23.3. All ID-40s must have their trigger set to External Level and the end cycle set to New Trigger for the NJ/NX
controller logic to function correctly.
23.4. On the rst trigger after the project is downloaded to the NJ/NX controller, the ReadTime variable will be
reported as 20,000. On subsequent triggers, the ReadTime variable will report the correct Trigger
to Result time in milliseconds.
