Operation
B. CLV490 integrated in OTS400 Omni Tracking System
(mechanical construction called "reading gate")
B1. Start/stop mode
Conditions:
• One object in the reading field per reading interval
Example: Omni-directional 2-side reading with CLVs (slaves) und OTC400 Controller
(master)
• Minimum object distance > size of reading field
(size of reading field = distance between sensor for start and stop of reading trigger)
• Autofocus/focus position switchover in the CLV490 according to application:
– with OTS height information via CAN bus for reading from top
– one distance configuration (fixed focus) for e. g. reading from side and sufficient
depth of field (DOF)
• Autofocus mode "Minimum distance" or "Differential background",
see Table 6-6, Page 6-13
• Two reading sensors connected to OTC400 (start and stop)
• Height detection photo reflex switches connected to OTC400 (optional)
• Master/slave arrangement using the CAN interface
Possible reading triggers in the CLV490:
• OTS trigger
Further preparations for each CLV490:
¾ Configuring reading area: see Chapter a)Parameterizing reading area, Page 6-10.
¾ Selecting focus control mode: see Chapter b) Selecting focus control mode,
Page 6-11.
¾ Configuring focus control: see Chapter c) Parameterizing focus control, Page 6-12.
¾ Configuring oscillating mirror (optional): see Chapter e) Parameterizing oscillation mirror
functions (optional), Page 6-17.
¾ Configuring no. of bar codes to be read: see Chapter h) Parameterizing the evaluation
characteristics, Page 6-36.
Note To separate bar codes of the same type with identical contents, connect an incremental
encoder and activate the "Seperate codes dependent on reading angle" function. See also
Table 6-24, Page 6-36.
