# Industrial Protocols

The DataMan 8600 readers support the following industrial protocols:

- EtherNet/IP™
- PROFINET
- SLMP Protocol
- Modbus TCP

Select the industrial protocol tools and sample programs when installing the DataMan Setup Tool.

There are three ways to enable or disable Industrial Protocols. Using either method, rebooting the reader is required for the changes to take effect.

- Enable the protocols using the Industrial Protocols pane of the DataMan Setup Tool under Communication Settings.
- Scan the appropriate Reader Configuration codes (see the Reader Configuration Codes Manual available through the Windows Start menu, the Setup Tool Help menu, or the Cognex Documentation Portal).
- Send the appropriate DMCC (see the DataMan Control Commands Documentation available through the Windows Start menu or the Setup Tool Help menu).

For more information on using the industrial protocols, see the Industrial Protocols Manual available through the Windows Start menu, the Setup Tool Help menu, or the Cognex Documentation Portal.
