Preface
This user manual describes how to install, configure, and troubleshoot your
48CR code reader device.
The 48CR code reader can only be used in EtherNet/IP™ systems. See EtherNet/
IP publications and this user manual for further guidance.
Who Should Use This
Manual
This manual is intended for qualified personnel. You must be familiar with the
Studio 5000® environment, EtherNet/IP network, and barcode reading
terminology. If you do not qualify, refer to your software documentation or
online help before attempting to use 48CR code reader devices.
Features Features of 48CR code readers include:
• Smallest industrial barcode readers available
• Able to read any symbol on any surface
•Intuitive WebConnect user interface
• Customizable hardware and software options
• Premier integration into Allen-Bradley® controller via the full-featured
Add-on Profile (AOP)
48CR Code Reader
Communication
There are three ways to configure and test 48CR code readers:
• Browser-based WebConnect user interface — Allows you to access,
configure, and test your code reader without having to install software or
access files on a host system
• AOP — A Studio 5000 Logix Designer® component that can be separately
installed and used to configure one or more devices.
• Message Instructions — Allows you to read and write the device
parameters directly outside of WebConnect or the Studio 5000® AOP.
This method is also known as Ladder Logic.

Warning and Caution
Summary
Location of the 48CR code reader LED aperture window:
This code reader is intended for connection to a UL Listed direct plug-in power
unit marked Class II and rated 10…28V DC at 5 W or greater.
U.S. models must use a similarly rated Class I or Class II power supply that is
certified to comply with standards for safety IEC 60950-1 Ed. 2 (2005) and
IEC 60825-1 Ed. 2 (2007).
European models must use a similarly rated Class I or Class II power supply that
is certified to comply with standard for safety EN 60950-1 (2006) with Am. 11
(2009).
There are no user-serviceable parts in the code reader. Opening the imager voids
the Rockwell Automation® warranty.

Chapter 1
Introduction
Product Overview The 48CR code reader is a camera-based product with internal light-emitting
diodes capable of decoding the following:
• One-dimensional (1D) barcodes (for example, UPC codes)
• Two-dimensional (2D) codes (for example, QR Codes).
The code reader also includes the ability to read low-contrast, damaged, poor
print, and direct part mark (DPM) codes. Each code reader features two digital
inputs and two digital outputs along with EtherNet/IP connectivity.
The 48CR code reader is intended for use in fixed-mounted applications that are
connected to an Allen-Bradley® ControlLogix®, CompactLogix™ (version 20 and
above), or a MicroLogix™ controller using Class 3 commands for communication.
There are two connectors on the back of the code reader. The first is an 8-pin,
M12 connector that accepts 5…30V DC power for operation and includes two
digital inputs and two digital outputs that are optically isolated. This connection
is the same standard connection that is used for Rockwell Automation® safety
light curtain product line. The second connector is for EtherNet/IP
communication. It couples with the standard 4-pin, M12 cordsets that
Rockwell Automation currently offers for M12 EtherNet/IP connections.
The 48CR code reader IP address configuration state defaults to dynamic and
requires a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to assign the
IP address automatically. For instructions, see Set the Network Address on
page 17.
You must use this code reader device with either Studio 5000® environment
(version 20 or later) via the Add-on Profile (AOP) or with the WebConnect
embedded browser tool.

System Setup Figure 1 shows a simple code reader system topology. This user manual describes
the setup, installation, configuration, and programming that is required to get an
example system such as this running.
Figure 1 - Example Code Reader System
As shown in Figure 1, the 48CR code reader can read various 1D and 2D codes
that are attached to objects within multiple application types wherein the
information must be tracked. The code reader sends the object information to
the controller via the EtherNet/IP protocol to track the information as required
by the application constraints.

Chapter 3
Installation and Wiring
This chapter describes how to install and wire the 48CR code reader. The only
tools that you require are a flat or Phillips screwdriver and a drill.
Install the Code Reader To install the 48CR code reader device, you must complete the following:
• Set the network address (page 17)
• Mount and position the code reader (page 18)
• Connect the power I/O and network cables to the code reader (page 18)
Set the Network Address
There are two options to make a static connection to your code reader.
Option 1 — Initiate IP Address
1. The code reader IP address configuration state defaults to dynamic and
requires a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to
assign the IP address automatically.
2. Manually assign the IP address through the Rockwell Automation® BootP/
DHCP server tool.
Option 2 — Change IP Address
1. Navigate to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center on your
computer.
2. Click Local Area Connection 4. In the Status dialog box, click Properties.
In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, select Internet.
3. Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties again. Set the IP
address to 192.168.1.x (for example, 192.168.1.80).
4. Click OK.
5. With the Rockwell Automation® BootP/DHCP server tool, assign an IP
address to 192.168.1.x (for example, 192.168.1.90). It cannot be the same
as the Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) address used in step 3.
6. Open a web browser and type the IP address of the code reader that was
established in step 5.
7. The code reader connects to WebConnect.

Chapter 3 Installation and Wiring
Mount and Position the Code Reader
1. Position the code reader several inches from the symbol. The focal distance
varies depending on the code reader catalog number and the 1D/2D
barcode size. If needed, you can reposition the code reader a few times to
find the ideal distance.
2. Tip the code reader relative to the symbol to avoid the glare of direct
(specular) reflection.
3. Symbols can be rotated (tilted) at any angle. However, for best results,
symbols must be aligned with the field of view. If there are linear symbols,
align the bars in the direction of their movement (ladder orientation) to
help minimize the chance of blurring. This alignment results in more
consistent decodes.
Figure 2 - Skew, Pitch, and Tilt
Connect the Power I/O and Network Cables to the Code Reader
The 48CR code reader has an 8-pin male DC micro-style M12 connector for
power and 4-pin female DC micro-style M12 connector for Ethernet to the
device. Connect the quick-disconnect cordsets that you selected for your code
reader to the appropriate ports.

Power I/O Connectors
EtherNet/IP Connector
The power that the code reader requires is based on an 8-pin micro-style
connector system. The code reader receives its required power through the male
connector.
The code reader requires a 24V DC (nominal) power supplies for powering all
aspects of the device including the digital inputs, digital outputs, and camera
voltage.
