Barcode Reading to Omron NJ/NX Controller

Solution Overview

Solution Features

Six MicroHAWK ID-40 readers are connected in daisy chain conguration 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.

Supported Symbologies

Maximum Picket

Fence Orientation

• 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 congurable on HMI

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 conguration 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 Specication Sheet
