Subject to change without notice
• In addition to the SIM2000 system controller, the cabinet of the VMS4200/5200
(Multicontroller) system variant also contains a separate SIM2000 dimensioning
controller.
• This increases the computing power of the system, thereby allowing a higher
throughout as well as enabling complex identification solutions to be implemented.
• The dimensioning controller receives the measuring points from the LMS4x21 2D
LiDAR sensors and uses the 2D sections to calculate a three-dimensional model.
• Based on this calculated 3D model, the dimensioning controller determines the
dimensional values and transmits the measurement results to the SIM2000 system
controller via CAN bus. These dimensions can be used to calculate the so-called box
volume.
• The data is sent to the higher-level customer system via the system controller in a host
telegram with a defined format.
NOTE! In the case of the VMS5200 (Multicontroller), the measurement results are
saved in the SIM2000 alibi memory, which is required for legal-for-trade verification.
