Product Description
Tag Mode
In addition to the tracking, you can use the read head in tag mode. The read head detects Data
Matrix tags, which are typically glued onto the floor in a grid. The individual Data Matrix tags are
numbered consecutively and include position information. The read head reports the position
of the AGV in relation to the zero point of the Data Matrix tag to the controller.
The tag mode allows the AGV to move freely in as large a grid as desired, without having to
mark the crossing paths with lane tapes.

The read head switches automatically between tag mode and lane tracking. This allows an
automated guided vehicle to be guided from one Data Matrix tag grid via a colored or Data
Matrix lane to another Data Matrix tag grid.
The extensive yet user-friendly parameterization options as well as the configurable inputs and
outputs mean that the read head can easily be adapted to suit each application.
