PACKTRACK™
PackTrack™ is a Datalogic patented parcel tracking system which improves the reading
features in omnidirectional stations. In particular, PackTrack™ manages 6-sided reading
systems when it is impossible to detect the real position of the code on the parcel, thus
overcoming the need for external accessories essential in traditional tracking systems. See
par. 4.2 for more details.
ASTRA™
Automatically Switched Reading Area™ is a Datalogic technology based on a multi-laser
architecture and a fixed mounted optic system which concentrates the multiple laser
emissions in a single laser beam. As each laser emitter is focused on a specific range of the
reading area, a sophisticated electronic controller selects the best focused laser emitter with
respect to the code to read. This allows the reading of medium-high density codes in a large
reading area on very fast conveyors.
FLEXIBILITY
The high frequency laser diode modulation system guarantees complete immunity to ambient
light and allows installation of the DX8200 Controller in any working area.
The DX8200 Controller is easily configurable by means of the Windows-based user-friendly
Genius utility program provided on CD-ROM.
Some of the main features of DX8200 Controller are listed below:
•
Lonworks high speed network
•
scanning speed 500 scans/sec for each scan line (1000 scans/sec. total)
•
reads all popular codes
•
85-264 VAC or 24 VDC operation
•
light source: solid state laser diodes; the light emitted has a wavelength in the range
630~680 nm. For laser safety precautions refer to the “Safety precautions” section at the
beginning of this manual.
