Product Description

Use and Application
The Data Matrix Positioning System is the positioning system in the Pepperl+Fuchs incident
light process. The heart of the system is the reader, which has features including a camera
module with an integrated illumination unit. This enables the reader to detect position markers
printed onto a self-adhesive code tape in the form of 2-D Data Matrix codes.
The code tape is mounted on a fixed part of the plant (e.g., the wall of an elevator shaft or the
rail on a monorail conveyor). The reader is mounted on a moving "vehicle" positioned in
parallel with the code tape (e.g., on the elevator cab or on the chassis of a monorail conveyor).

The code tape length of up to 10 km is sufficient for even very large applications. It also offers
sufficient reserves for extensions or systems with several branches and parallel conveyor
routes.
The extensive yet user-friendly parameterization options as well as the freely configurable
inputs and outputs mean that the reader can easily be adapted to suit each application.

USB Interface
The Vision Configurator is a useful and easy-to-use piece of configuration software for
configuring the reader. This configuration software is available as a free download from
www.pepperl-fuchs.com. Follow the instructions that appear on your screen during the
installation.
Use the parameterization cable (see Accessories) to establish the requisite connection to the
PC and to power the reader. The parameterization cable also provides the electrical supply for
the reader during the parameterization process. The reader is connected to the "Service"
connector.
