Description
The DMR-262QX-0120 is a Cognex DataMan 262QX series fixed-mount industrial barcode reader — part of the DataMan 260 family (262 = 1280×960 sensor; 260 = 752×480 sensor). The “QX” suffix combines Q-series body with X-grade algorithms — meaning this unit carries the full X-tier decoding stack: 1DMax + Hotbars II (1D, damaged/bent/wrapped) + 2DMax + PowerGrid (2D DPM, finderless — reads Data Matrix even with no visible border/quiet zone). In Cognex’s 260 family tiering :
- 260 S = entry, 752×480, 1DMax only
- 260 QL = mid, 752×480, 1DMax + Hotbars
- 260 Q = mid-high, 752×480, 1DMax + 2DMax
- 260 X = high, 752×480, 1DMax + 2DMax + PowerGrid
- 262 S/QL/Q/X = same tier logic but 1280×960 sensor, 45 fps, 45 decodes/sec (vs 260’s 60fps/2fps split — 262 is “balanced” 45/45)
So 262QX = 1280×960 global shutter, 45 fps acquisition, 45 decodes/sec, X-grade algo (PowerGrid included). The “Q” in “QX” likely denotes the Q-body/communciation module (24V Ethernet + RS-232, M12-8 X-coded Ethernet + M12-12 power/I/O/RS-232) — same mechanical as 262X, just regional/order-code variance (some distributors list 262QX, others 262X — performance identical; check Cognex: 262Q and 262X share same 1280×960 sensor and X-algo in this p/n).
💡 262QX vs 262X-1120 (previous item) relationship: Last time we did DMR-262X-1120 (1.2MP, 12mm C-mount, red ring, standard). DMR-262QX-0120 is the same 262 platform — 1280×960, 45fps, X-grade algo with PowerGrid — but different config code 0120 = different lens/light/base combo. The “QX” naming is likely a distributor/channel variant (Q-body + X-algo), functionally equivalent to a 262X with X-algo. If you’re comparing: 262QX-0120 and 262X-1120 are same sensor & same decode power; differ only in lens (0120 = 6.2mm? see below) vs 1120 (=12mm C-mount) and possibly lighting.
- 0120 config decode (Cognex 26X 4-digit, inferred from 260/262 lens options + last item’s 1120 pattern):
- 0 = 262 fixed sensor (1280×960) — 262 prefix already sets sensor, first config digit often “0” for base
- 1 = Lighting (red LED ring typical for “1” in 26X codes; “2”=white, “3”=blue+white multichrome)
- 2 = 6.2 mm C-mount lens (3-position or liquid — 6.2mm covers 40–250 mm WD, the “short” lens; “4” in 1120 last time = 12mm? Actually 260/262 family only offers 6.2mm and 16mm per — so “2” here = 6.2mm, “4” in 1120 might map to 12mm C-mount aftermarket or 16mm manual — Cognex config code detail isn’t fully public, but 0120 = 6.2mm short lens is the safe inference)
- 0 = Standard (no liquid lens; liquid would be “L” suffix like 0160-L)
- → DMR-262QX-0120 = 262QX body, 1280×960, red ring light, 6.2 mm C-mount lens (3-pos / manual), standard (no liquid). If you need 16mm or liquid lens → 0140 / 0160-L variants.
Key differentiator vs last week’s 262X-1120: 1120 had 12mm(?) C-mount (longer WD, narrower FOV — carton/PCB at 300mm+), while 0120’s 6.2mm is the short lens (WD 40–250mm, wider FOV — small parts / close-mount on machine). So 0120 = close-range small-part DPM (e.g., laser-etched Data Matrix on pharmaceutical vial, auto part casting at 100mm WD); 1120 = mid-range carton/PCB (300mm+ WD).
Key Features
- Sensor: 1280×960 global shutter CMOS (1.2MP) — 45 fps acquisition, 45 decodes/sec (vs 260’s 2/45 split — 262 is the “balanced throughput” model)
- Algorithms (X-grade): 1DMax + Hotbars II (1D damaged), 2DMax + PowerGrid (finderless DPM — reads DM with no border/quiet zone, critical for cast metal / molded plastic DPM)
- Lens (0120 config): 6.2 mm C-mount — WD 40–250 mm (3-position fixed-focus or manual; liquid lens option on 6.2mm as 0160-L but 0120 = standard)
- Lighting (0120): Red LED ring (modular, field-swappable — Cognex DM150-LED-RED) — can swap to white/blue/IR + bandpass/polarizer later
- Communication: 24V Ethernet model (M12-8 X-coded Ethernet + M12-12 power/I/O/RS-232) — RS-232 also on M12-12; PoE model also available in 262 family but 262QX-0120 default = 24V DC Ethernet (check: “QX” body typically 24V, PoE would be marked differently)
- I/O: 2× discrete in (photo isol), 4× discrete out (photo isol), 5× status LED + buzzer — trigger in, result out, encoder in (conveyor tracking)
- Protocols: Cognex Connect — Profinet, EtherNet/IP (Adapter), Modbus TCP, TCP/IP command, RS-232 (Host Link / no-protocol)
- Mounting: Straight (42.5×22×76.1mm) or Right-angle (42.5×48.5×49.6mm) — DIN/panel; IP65 with proper lens cover
- Country of Origin: USA / Thailand / China (Cognex)

⚠️ 0120 vs 1120 (last item) lens choice is the big one:
⚠️ 262Q vs 262X nomenclature note: Cognex officially lists 262Q and 262X as two sub-models in the 262 family : 262Q = 1DMax+2DMax (no PowerGrid), 262X = 1DMax+2DMax+PowerGrid. But your p/n is 262QX — this appears to be a distributor/regional code that bundles Q-body + X-algo (i.e., the full X deck). The vendor listing describes DMR-262QX-0120 with “1DMax+Hotbars / 2DMax+PowerGrid” — confirming this QX unit does carry PowerGrid (X-algo). So functionally it’s a 262X in Q-body. Safe to treat as 262X-equivalent performance.
Warranty & After-Sales
- Factory new units: 12 months warranty
- Refurbished units: 3-6 months warranty (power-up + DataMan SW connect via Ethernet (M12-8 X-coded → M12-RJ45 cable) → live image → decode test on sample sheet → verify trigger + result out + RS-232 loopback)
- Technical support for:
- 0120 config vs 1120 vs 0140/0160-L: 0120 = 6.2mm short (WD 40–250mm, wide FOV, small-part DPM); 1120 = 12mm mid; 0140 = 16mm manual (WD 80mm–1m, narrow FOV, distant carton); 0160-L = 6.2mm liquid lens auto-focus (if WD varies part-to-part → liquid lens saves manual focus). Tell us your part size + working distance → we suggest lens.
- QX vs X naming: 262QX-0120 = Q-body + X-algo (PowerGrid included) — performance = 262X. If you see 262Q-xxxx (without X) those are Q-algo only (no PowerGrid, cheaper) — don’t confuse!
- DataMan Setup Tool first connect (PC → M12-8 X-coded → M12-to-RJ45 cable → DataMan SW auto-discover → live view + aimer green LED → tune algo priority: Hotbars vs 2DMax vs PowerGrid — PowerGrid for DPM/finderless)
- Modular lighting swap (red ring std on 0120; if application needs blue for shiny metal DPM or white for mixed — DM150-LED-WHT / BLU swap-in 10 sec, no tools; can add bandpass/polarizer cover DM260-LENS-xxCVR)
- 6.2mm 3-position focus (0120 6.2mm typically has 3 detents: ~40mm / ~120mm / ~200mm WD — turn lens collar to click, no tools; if your WD is between detents or varying → upgrade to 0160-L liquid lens)
- C-mount + IP65 cover (if using C-mount lens, add DM260-CMNT-CVR (IP65 C-mount adapter + cover) to keep IP65; bare C-mount = IP40)
- Optional: M12-8 X-coded to RJ45 cable, M12-12 breakout pigtail, 24V DIN PSU, DM150-LED-WHT/BLU/IR spare rings, DM260-LENS-62CVR (6.2mm polar cover) / 16CVR (16mm), DM260-CMNT-CVR (IP65 C-mount adapter), liquid lens version 0160-L if WD variable

Applications
- Close-Mount Small-Part DPM (Pharma Vial / SMT / Mini Casting): 6.2mm lens @ 50–150mm WD → FOV ~45–120mm, covers small part like pharmaceutical vial laser DM, SMT component 2D on PCB, mini auto casting dot-peen. PowerGrid reads DM even if laser etch has no border (common on cylindrical vial). 45 dec/s handles high-speed indexing dial (12-station dial @ 200ms settle = fine).
- Tight-Space Machine Mount: 262 straight profile 42.5×22×76.1mm — thinnest in class, fits inside OEM machine guard or narrow frame where 262X-1120 (12mm longer lens protrusion) might not. Right-angle version (42.5×48.5×49.6mm) turns lens 90° for downward/sideward in cramped cabinet.
- Electronics / PCBA Track: 6.2mm @ 80–120mm WD reads PCB Data Matrix (laser/inkjet) + 1D barcode on reel. Hotbars II handles damaged 1D on bent label. PowerGrid backup for low-contrast DM on dark green PCB.
- Legacy 260/152 Upgrade: Old DataMan 152Q (752×480, 2/45 dec) struggling on DPM → 262QX-0120 is drop-in footprint (same M12 connectors? 152 used different tail — 152 had USB+RS-232, 262 has M12-8+M12-12; not drop-in electrically, but mechanical DIN mount same. Migration = rewire M12 breakout, DataMan SW re-license okay).
- If WD >250mm or variable WD: 0120’s 6.2mm tops at 250mm — if your WD is 300mm+ → swap to 1120(12mm) or 0140(16mm); if WD varies part-to-part (mixed product family on same line) → 0160-L (6.2mm liquid lens auto-focus) instead of 0120.
