Product description
3.4 Method of operation
This Camera System is an intelligent sensor system for automatic and non-contact detec-
tion and decoding of 1D/2D codes. In principle, the codes can be detected on any side of
moving objects in a conveyor system.
For single-side readings, the codes are detected from above, below or from the side using
a Camera. In order to allow easier installation and setup of the Camera System, the Camera
image is recorded using a deflection mirror.
Important Several Cameras can be combined to allow detection of several sides in one passage (multi-
side reading). The method of operation is described here using the example of single-side
reading from above.
The Camera System is operated in combination with an MSC800 Controller (Fig. 3-5,
Page 25). The reading results are output at the data interfaces via the controller. External
sensors deliver information via the reading pulse, the object distance and the conveyor
speed.
