INTRODUCTION
ABOUT THE CONTROLLER
The SC5100 is the next generation System Controller. It includes native Integration
throughout the Datalogic Stationary Industrial Scanner Portfolio (DS/DX Laser readers,
AV Imagers, DM Dimensioner, Matrix 320, WebSentinel PLUS (and Investigator) and
Openness to 3rd Party components (i.e. RFID, scale, IP camera). The result is full support
of advanced System Solutions (DWS=Scan-Dim-Weight, BHS=Baggage Handling System,
MFDS=Mass Flow Detection System etc.) and open architecture for new application
solutions.
A fully configurable embedded four port Gigabit Ethernet Switch, optional fieldbus
modules and extended memory to implement External Alibi Storage for Scales provide
State-of-the-Art tools for local and remote monitoring (ready to operate in IoT and
Industry 4.0 environments).
The SC5100 provides a five inch color display, augmented visibility of LED indicators and
keypad to guarantee exceptional user experience and monitoring efficacy.
All networking connectors are M12 industrial grade making it possible to install the
device directly beside conveyor/sorting machinery without an additional enclosure.
The controller provides tools to seamlessly reach each component, monitor perfor-
mance and system health in real-time. It can be doubled (two controllers for each Sys-
tem) thus providing fully redundant connection to a Customer’s network to reduce
downtime risk.
