Product Description
Tag Mode
In addition to the lane tracking, you can use the read head 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.
The tag mode allows the Auto-Guided Transport System to move freely in as large a grid as
desired, without having to mark the crossing paths with lane 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 via a Data Matrix code tape lane to
another Data Matrix tag grid.
The extensive yet user-friendly parameterization options as well as the configurable inputs and
outputs mean that the read head can easily be adapted to suit each application.

CANopen Interface
The read head is equipped with a CANopen interface for communication purposes, i.e., param-
eterizing the read head functions or reading out current process data during operation. Data on
the CANopen network can be exchanged at various baud rates between 50 kBaud and
1 MBaud. The read head supports the following baud rates:
•
50 kBaud
•
125 kBaud
•
250 kBaud
•
500 kBaud
•
1 MBaud
