Product description
• Four status LEDs
• External parameter (optional) simplifies device replacement
Operating modes:
• Reading mode
• Percentage evaluation - for assessing the quality of the reads
• Special functions for system installation
Bar code evaluation:
• All standard bar code types
• Max. 50 codes per reading pulse, max. 12 per scan
• Code comparison (max. 5 matchcodes), can also be used as filter or sort criterion for
the reading result
• Sort sequences: code position, FIFO, LIFO, code length list
Reading pulse (start/stop mode):
• External reading pulse, via switching input(s) or serial interface
• Timer
• Free running
• OTS mode (special application)
Object tracking (tracking mode):
• Object tracking (20 objetcs) in combination with OTS 400 Object Tracking System
Electrical interfaces:
• Serial host interface (RS 422/485 or RS 232) with variable transfer rate and telegram
structure
• Serial terminal interface (RS 232) as auxiliary data interface with special diagnosis and
statistics functions
• CAN interface for integration in the SICK CAN Scanner Network or a CANopen network,
and for OTS operation
• 6 switching inputs for external reading pulse, focus control, encoder increment and spe-
cial function (teach-in)
• 4 switching outputs for signaling defined events in reading mode
Connections:
• All interfaces are connected via two 15-pin D Sub HD connections on the housing
• AMV/S 60 or AMV 100/200 connection module for connection to host, AMV 70/71 for
integration in SICK CAN scanner network
• BMS 10/BMV 10 bus connection modules for connection to field bus systems
Additional functions:
• Version with integrated heater (max. –35 °C (–31 °F))
• External parameter memory in connector cover (optional)
• Can be used in an omni-directional reading system in combination with the OTS 400
