Product Description
Tag Mode
In addition to lane tracking, the read head can also be used in tag mode. The read head detects
Data Matrix tags, which are typically glued onto the floor in a grid. The individual Data Matrix
tags are numbered consecutively and include position information. The read head reports the
position of the auto-guided transport system in relation to the zero point of the Data Matrix tag
to the control panel.
Tag mode allows the auto-guided transport system to move freely in as large a grid as desired,
without having to mark the traverse distances with code tapes.

Auto-guided transport system with Data Matrix tags
The read head switches automatically between tag mode and lane tracking. This allows a
transport system to be guided from one Data Matrix tag grid to another via a Data Matrix code
tape.
Thanks to its comprehensive and simple parameterization options, the read head can be opti-
mally adapted to suit any application.
