Product features and functions (overview)
Feature
Characteristic
High-performance reader
CMOS matrix sensor of newest technology (WVGA resolution)
Fixed focus
Front reading window or side reading window
Resolution, reading range (DOF) and field of view depending on type (Mid Range)
60 Hz Image recording rate at full field of view
Function to adapt to the code marking quality/object velocity
Variable active evaluation range of the matrix sensor, thereby higher image recording rate
Safety and user-friendly features
Robust, compact metal housing, max. IP 65, CE certification
LED class 1, illumination LEDs switches off if reading interval is active for too long
Automatic self-test on startup. Can also be triggered at any time
Diagnosis tools for installing and monitoring the system
Variable output of reading diagnosis data in the read result
Operating data query, and error messages on request
Test string function for signaling readiness for operation
Future proof thanks to firmware update via data interface (flash PROM)
Low power consumption
Extended power voltage range
Easy configuration
Configuration (online/offline) via CLV-Setup configuration software with integrated Assist-
ant (Connection Assistant) and help system.
Displaying the image memory content via the ImageFTP program.
Configuration alternatively with simple command strings, also for use with special devices
Function key for starting functions without using CLV-Setup
Four status LEDs
Beeper to confirm device functions or operating steps (can be switches off)
Operating modes
Reading mode
Percentage evaluation - for assessing the quality of the reads (2D codes only)
Special functions for system installation
Reading pulse
External reading pulse, via switching input(s) or serial data interface
Free running with timeout
2D code/1D code evaluation
Data Matrix ECC 200/all standard bar code types
Max. 50 codes per image/reading pulse (max. 4,000 characters)
Separation of identical codes of the same code type
Code comparison (max. 2 matchcodes), can also be used as filter as sort criterion for the
reading result
Data processing
Manipulation of the data output string via filter or format mask
Sort sequences: code position, FIFO, LIFO, code length list, ROI sequence
Data communication
Host interface: variable output format for reading result, communication can be routed via
the CAN or Ethernet interface
Auxiliary interface (auxiliary data interface): fixed output format, with special diagnosis
functions, communication can be routed via the Ethernet interface
