  • Page 21: Chapter 1. Introduction

    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION PRODUCTION DESCRIPTION The AV7000 Camera is a high performance linear camera with an integrated image pro- cessing system dedicated to automatic code identification on moving parcels. This chapter introduces the basic concepts necessary for camera installation and setup.

  • Page 22: Field Procedure Quick Cross Reference

    • “Setting up the AS1 AreaScan” on page 373 READING STATION OVERVIEW The AV7000 camera reading system consists of two pieces: 1. A barcode reader/camera for acquiring images and locating and reading the codes on a target. 2. A lighting system for illuminating the target codes to be acquired.

  • Page 23: Image Acquisition

    Image Acquisition Each barcode reader contains two distinct groups of devices: • The acquisition device or "camera." This part of the AV7000 has to work in strict real time to acquire the best possible images. • The decoding device or “decoder." This part of the AV7000 interprets the data received through the camera.

  • Page 24: Pulsed Illumination

    Based on the AV7000 mounting position, the unit tries to acquire one (reading angle alpha = 15°) or two faces of the parcel (alpha = +/-45°). The AV7000 can process a maxi- mum package count of 64 between trigger and transmit.

  • Page 25: Applications

    APPLICATIONS Enable and configure Pulsed Illumination and adjust image gain when using Pulsed Illu- mination. Applications The AV7000 cameras are specifically designed for industrial applications requiring high reading performance such as: • Low aspect ratio barcodes • Codes covered by plastic film •...

  • Page 32: Focusing Devices

    In irregular package applications, the photoelectric sensor assists in main- taining the package footprint so that the AV7000 camera will only scan and provide data for a specific package.

  • Page 33: Area Sensor

    FOCUSING DEVICES Area Sensor The photoelectric light grids of the AS1 series are crossed-beam area sensors able to detect all objects, with even 0.2mm thickness, inside a 100mm height, over operating distances reaching 3m between emitter and receiver. The AS1 area sensors represent the ideal solution for the detection of very small objects, even when passing in different positions inside the controlled height and width.

    APPENDIX B MULTIPLE CAMERA BI-DIRECTIONAL SETUP With the release of Software Version 5.0 and higher the AV7000 supports bidirectional conveyor travel. A Datalogic Bidirectional system is an application where you can change the direction of the conveyor. To accommodate a Bidirectional system, an addi-...

    TACHOMETER - with special bracket to accommodate reversing of the conveyor PREREQUISITES/CONSIDERATIONS A minimum of two AV7000 units are required to provide the necessary I/O support for a bidirectional system. The tachometer is connected to the Controller AV7000 which dis- tributes the signal to the other AV7000’s.

    1. Add the cameras into the Cluster. See “e-Genius Calibration Presets” on page 349. Verify that the AV7000 camera identified is the Controller (check System Info page, the Controller IP is 192.168.0.145) and it is wired to receive the “Active Con- figuration”...

At the time of this document release, do not use the Force Configuration Swap or Copy Primary to Secondary.
  • Page 483 Anytime after this the AV7000 will change between states and use the independent XML’s. As previously mentioned, we are now in effect dealing with a new AV7000 system. The I/O used by the Primary configuration is no longer in play (with the exception of the Tachometer signal).
  • Page 484 11. Since the system is running in the opposite conveyor direction any Camera that was considered a Right-Side mount for the Primary direction of travel is now a Left Side mount for the Secondary. It is necessary to change the Camera Position and Camera Name. AV7000 LINEAR CAMERA...
