3 Systems Description
The ALIS is a fully automatic reading gate including frame, scan heads with on-board
decoder, local network controller and host communication for reading bar codes on flight
baggage, which in turn is located e.g. on conveyor belts, cross belts or tilt tray sorter sys-
tems.
The local network-controller incorporates a controller for the local scanner-network, opto-
isolated digital diagnostic software, flexible HOST-Interface and an interface supplying diag-
nostic data to the Diagnostic Tool “Baggage Analytics” or "Logistics Diagnostic Analytics".
More information about the diagnostic software can be found on SICK.com.
The HOST-interface can be adapted to customers specific requirements in terms of HOST-
Protocol and physical interface.
The complete system consists of a certain amount of bar code readers or/and RFID reader
and antennas - depending on the application -, the control unit MSC800 unit, photoelectric
switches for object-trigger, cables and an increment encoder for measuring the conveyor
speed.
