Product Description
4.1
Use and Application
The PCV
read head is part of the positioning system in the Fuchs incident light
process. Its features include a camera module and an integrated illumination unit, enabling it to
detect position markers printed onto an adhesive code reel in the form of Data Matrix codes.
The code reel is usually mounted to a fixed part of the equipment in a stationary manner (e.g.,
elevator shaft, overhead conveyor mounting rails) and the read head is then mounted in parallel
to a moving "vehicle" (e.g., elevator car, overhead conveyor chassis).
Maximum Length of the Code Tape
This positioning system can be used with an appropriate resolution in equipment with
extremely large layouts without restrictions.
The extensive yet user-friendly parameterization options as well as the freely configurable
inputs and outputs mean that the read head can easily be adapted to suit each application.

LED Indicators and Controls
The PCV... read head is equipped with seven indicator LEDs for carrying out visual function
checks and rapid diagnostics. The read head is equipped with two buttons on the back of the
device for activating the alignment aid (see chapter 6.1) and the parameterization mode (see
chapter 6.2). Button 1 is labeled ADJUST. Button 2 is labeled CONFIG.
