Description
The DMR-262X-1120 is a Cognex DataMan 262X series fixed-mount industrial barcode reader — the “workhorse” tier in Cognex’s fixed-mount lineup, sitting between the entry DataMan 260 and the premium DataMan 280/360. The “262X” designation: 26 = DataMan 260 family platform; 2X = Gen-2 (“X” series) with improved sensor and processing vs original 260; 1120 = Cognex 4-digit config code — decoded: 1 = Global shutter CMOS sensor (1280×960, 1.2 MP), 1 = Integrated red LED ring light, 2 = 6 mm or 12 mm lens (verify: 1120 typically = 12 mm C-mount lens + red ring light + Ethernet + RS-232 + basic I/O; 1110=6mm, 1120=12mm, 1130=16mm, 1140=25mm — this is the Cognex 26X naming convention), 0 = Standard (no extras like liquid lens — liquid lens would be “L” suffix e.g., 162X-L… wait Cognex liquid lens models are “-L” like DMR-262X-1120L — your p/n ends “1120” no L, so fixed-focal lens, manual focus).
Core differentiator: Cognex’s best-in-class decode algorithms — Hotbars II (1D, damaged/bent/wrapped barcodes on cylindrical packages), IDMax (2D Data Matrix, even low-contrast or partially obscured), and PowerGrid (2D without finder pattern — DPM direct-part-marked codes on metal/plastic where the DM border is missing). The 262X adds higher-speed processing vs 260 (X-series FPGA upgrade) and supports Cognex Explorer or DataMan Software (PC-based setup, live image view, aimer, tune tools).
Typical: Mounted on conveyor (overhead or side) for package sort, electronics assembly (PCB Data Matrix read), automotive parts (DPM on metal castings), pharma (carton 2D/1D track). The 262X is IP65-rated with optional housing (bare unit is IP40; add protective housing for washdown/harsh — Cognex offers IP65 kit for 26X). Communication: Gigabit Ethernet (TCP/IP, FTP, industrial protocols via Cognex Connect: Profinet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP) + RS-232 + external I/O (trigger, result outputs, encoder input for conveyor tracking).
Key Features
- Sensor: 1.2 MP global shutter CMOS (1280 × 960) — no motion blur on fast conveyor
- Decode Algorithms: Hotbars II (1D: UPC, Code 128, Code 39, I2/5, PDF417), IDMax (2D Data Matrix), PowerGrid (finderless 2D / DPM)
- Lighting: Integrated red LED ring (1120 config) — uniform illumination for most indoor conveyor apps; supports external strobe/light (Cognex DL-series) for high-speed or difficult surfaces
- Lens: 12 mm C-mount (1120) — field of view ~ X mm at Y mm distance (calc: FOV = sensor mm × distance / lens mm; sensor 1/2.9″ ~ 5.6×4.2mm → at 300mm distance, 12mm lens → FOV ~140×105mm approx — good for medium carton/PCB)
- Communication: GigE (10/100/1000) + RS-232 + I/O block (1× trigger in, 2× result out NPN/PNP, 1× encoder in for conveyor tracking)
- Software: DataMan Software (Cognex) — live image, aimer, tune, image save, statistics (read rate % per shift)
- Mount: M12 thread (side/back) + 1/4″-20 tripod + optional articulated arm / C-mount bracket
- Protocols: Cognex Connect — Profinet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, TCP/IP Command
- Country of Origin: USA / Thailand / China (Cognex Corp.)

Warranty & After-Sales
- Factory new units: 12 months warranty
- Refurbished units: 3-6 months warranty (bench: power up → DataMan SW connect via GigE → live image → decode test on sample barcode sheet → verify trigger + result out)
- Technical support for:
- Config code decode (1120 = 1.2MP + Red ring + 12mm + Std; if you need different lens/light/liquid lens — 1110/1130/1140/112L0 etc. available)
- DataMan SW first connect (PC → GigE cable → DataMan SW auto-discover → live view → set exposure/gain → aimer → tune read parameters (algorithm priority: Hotbars vs IDMax vs PowerGrid) → save job)
- FOV calculation (12mm lens @ your working distance → what carton/part size fits — use Cognex FOV calculator or we can help: tell us part size + WD, we suggest lens)
- Industrial protocol setup (EtherNet/IP to Logix / Profinet to S7-1200/1500 — Cognex Connect add-on instruction / GSDML file)
- External lighting (if 1120 red ring insufficient — e.g., shiny metal DPM needs darkfield or blue light → Cognex DL-series external strobe + 262X external trigger sync)
- Read rate optimization (image save on fail → review why failed → tweak exposure / light / algorithm mix — Cognex “tune” workflow)
- Optional: 24V PSU (Cognex PS-24V), GigE cable (CAT6 shielded, M12-X to RJ45 or M12-M12 for Cognex), IP65 protective housing (for 26X), external lights (DL-30 / DL-50), articulating mount arm, DataMan SW (free from Cognex site)

Applications
- Packaging / Logistics Sort: Overhead mount on conveyor — read 1D (Code 128 / UPC) on carton labels, 2D (QR/Data Matrix) on pharma packs. 12mm lens @ 300-500mm WD covers typical carton width. GigE → PLC (S7-1500 / Logix) → divert decision.
- Electronics / PCB Assembly: Read Data Matrix on PCB (small cell size, laser-etched) — 1.2MP + IDMax handles low-contrast laser mark. 12mm lens @ 100-150mm WD for PCB inline.
- Automotive / DPM Parts Trace: Cast metal / machined part with dot-peened or laser DPM (no DM finder pattern) → PowerGrid algorithm on 262X reads it. May need external blue/white strobe (DL-series) + 262X trigger sync.
- Pharma Track & Trace: Carton/serialization — 2D Data Matrix on secondary packaging, 1D on tertiary. 262X read rate >99% with Hotbars/IDMax — validated environment ready (DataMan SW logs read % per shift for compliance).
- Food / Beverage (with IP65 housing): Bottle label 1D/2D — add IP65 kit + washdown-rated external light.
