Same lane branches off/converges
Note!
Direction Decision
The direction decision at a branch of a Data Matrix code tape remains in effect until the read
head has moved more than 50 cm from the branch.
It is not possible to change the direction decision within a branch!
Note!
Priority
Data Matrix code tapes and Data Matrix tags have priority over colored tapes or colored lanes.
If the read head detects a Data Matrix code tape or Data Matrix tags in the field of view, colored
tapes or colored lanes in the field of view are ignored.
Note!
Branches/Intersections with Data Matrix Position Code
Observe the following guidelines less than 1 m before and after branching or intersection of a
lane with a position code:
■
The position codes of the main lane must run continuously for 2 m. The position codes of
the branching/intersecting lane must run continuously for 1 m. The read head outputs the
X-value of the Data Matrix code tape that is specified the direction decision. See chapter
4.1.
■
Do not use repair tape.
■
Do not use colored tape.
■
The difference between the absolute position of the main lane and the starting position of
the branching/intersecting lane must be greater than 1 m.
