    Reader(s) interface to Smarteye Netx Control Units through the reader port(s). The reader senses a pattern of coded bars in the Smarteye label. As a label passes in front of a reader, the coded information is passed along to the Smarteye Netx Control Unit. The Smarteye Netx Control Unit then deciphers the coded information and makes the information available to the control system PLC.
