Product description
Operating modes:
•
Reading mode
•
Percentage evaluation - for assessing the quality of the reads (bar codes only)
•
Special functions for system installation
2-D code/Bar code evaluation:
•
DataMatrix ECC 200/all standard bar code types
•
Max. 50 codes per reading pulse (max. 4,000 characters)
•
Separation of identical bar codes of the same code type
•
Code comparison (max. 2 matchcodes), can also be used as filter or sort criterion for
the reading result
•
Sort sequences: code position, FIFO, LIFO, code length list
•
Manipulation of the data output string via filter or format mask
Data communication:
•
Main data interface: Host interface (with variable telegram structure), communication
can be routed via the Ethernet interface
•
Auxiliary data interface: Terminal interface (with fixed telegram structure) with special
diagnosis functions, communication can be routed via the Ethernet interface
Reading pulse:
•
External reading pulse, via switching input(s) or serial data interface
•
Free running with timeout
Electrical interfaces:
•
Serial host interface (RS 232, RS 422/485) with variable transfer rate and protocol
•
Serial terminal interface (RS 232) as auxiliary data interface with fixed transfer rate and
fixed protocol
•
CAN interface for integration in the SICK CAN scanner network or a CANopen network
•
Ethernet interface with TCP/IP or FTP
•
2 switching inputs for external reading pulse and special function (e. g. teach-in of match
code or encoder increment)
•
2 switching outputs for signaling defined events in reading mode as well as for
triggering or direct powering an external field illumination
Connections:
•
All interfaces excepting the Ethernet interface are connected via one 15-pin D Sub HD
plug, Ethernet interface: RJ 45 10 base T socket
•
CDB 420 or CDM 420 Connection Module for connection to host (stand-alone) and for
integration in SICK CAN scanner network
•
CMF 400 Connection Module Fieldbus in the CDM 420 Connection Module for
connection to field bus systems
