MicroHAWK ID-40 Configuration
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 configure the ID-40.
2.3.
Use WebLink to configure the ID-40 for your application. Select Start > Load a Setup and load the file
“360_code_ID40_settings.wls” to load most of the desired parameters to the ID-40. Some of the
important parameters are:

2.3.1.3. 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.
