2D codes
MultiCode labels are optionally available as accessories for the device, see “Accesso‐
ries”,
. The MultiCode labels are made out of several Data Matrix
codes.

Using the SICK MultiCode label is recommended as it is optimally tailored to the appli‐
cation. The SICK MultiCode label also enables the highest overspeeds to be reached.
Alternatively, single 2D codes or 2D MultiCodes in QR (single code only) or Data Matrix
(MultiCode) formats provided by the customer can be used. QR single codes must
correspond to the 21x21, 25x25, 29x29, 33x33 or formats. The maximum edge length
must not exceed 38 mm. The 2D codes must have a minimum size of 1 mm (code
module size). The type of code to be read out can be selected under the “operating
mode” setting. DM MultiCodes are selected in the factory setting.
When using customer codes, the module size may have to be configured (ModBus: Reg‐
ister 151/152. CANopen Index 0x02002 Sub 02). Factory setting for the module size is
1.0 mm. If the module size is configured incorrectly, the sensor cannot determine the
z-position correctly.
