± 25 115 x 72 The read head forms part of the positioning system in the Pepperl+Fuchs incident light pro- cess. The read head includes a camera module and an internal illumination unit. The read head uses this to detect a strip of Data Matrix code tape stuck to the floor for track tracing and navi- gation.

PGV*R*-F213-B12-0.7M* Installation and Commissioning Installation and Commissioning Affixing the Data Matrix Code Tape Data Matrix code tapes enable the exact positioning of auto-guided transport systems (AGTS). The read head permanently reports the detected position, speed, and rotation angle of the AGTS so that reliable goods transport is guaranteed at all times.
Page 12
PGV*R*-F213-B12-0.7M* Installation and Commissioning Note Expansion joints and code tapes If the system covers longer distances, the plant structure usually contains expansion joints. In this case, we recommend creating breaks along the code tape. The resulting gap must not exceed 75 mm. Note Application device To facilitate the application of the code tape, we recommend the use of a mechanical...

PGV*R*-F213-B12-0.7M* Installation and Commissioning Affixing the Data Matrix Code Tape Note Note the type of code tape. The positioning system only works if the read head is used together with the following type of Data Matrix code tape: PGV*-CA25-*. The use of other code tapes is not permitted. The following description outlines the basic procedure for installing the Data Matrix code tape.
Page 14
PGV*R*-F213-B12-0.7M* Installation and Commissioning Data Matrix Control Codes In addition to track tracing, the read head can detect Data Matrix control codes. Data Matrix control codes can be used to initiate specific control operations (e.g., information on branches) along the AGTS route. The control codes are added to the color tape, Data Matrix code tape, or metal code bars.
Page 15
PGV*R*-F213-B12-0.7M* Installation and Commissioning Branches Note Direction decision The direction decision at a branch of a Data Matrix code tape is retained until the read head has moved more than 50 cm away from the branch or the code tape is not visible for a few images. If the selected track is not visible, the system automatically switches to the alternate track.

PGV*R*-F213-B12-0.7M* Installation and Commissioning Note Loss of information Ensure that Data Matrix codes are not positioned over one another at a branch, since otherwise data may be lost. Data Matrix control codes at branches Data Matrix control codes can be moved in close proximity to a branch with Data Matrix codes for positioning.
Page 18
PGV*R*-F213-B12-0.7M* Installation and Commissioning Distances To ensure that the read head can clearly detect and assign Data Matrix codes, minimum and maximum distances must be observed when mounting the code tape. The distance between the code tapes at a branch or intersection as a separate track must be between zero mm and five mm.
Page 19
PGV*R*-F213-B12-0.7M* Installation and Commissioning Offset The offset (V) between the position codes on the code tape must be such that the Data Matrix codes remain within the reading window. In addition, a rest zone of at least two mm around the Data Matrix codes must be maintained.

PGV*R*-F213-B12-0.7M* Installation and Commissioning Data Matrix Tag (8 Digit Number) A Data Matrix tag contains position information and a specific eight digit number. A cross in the center of the Data Matrix tag marks the zero point. The X and the Y axes are marked starting from the zero point.
Page 21
PGV*R*-F213-B12-0.7M* Installation and Commissioning Data Matrix Tag Extended (14 Digit Number) A Data Matrix tag contains position information and a specific 14 digit number. A cross in the center of the Data Matrix tag marks the zero point. The X and the Y axes are marked starting from the zero point.
PGV*R*-F213-B12-0.7M* Installation and Commissioning Mounting the Read Head The mounting and alignment of the read head for detecting Data Matrix codes requires precise fine adjustment of the read head. The PCV-MB1 mounting bracket is suitable for this purpose. It enables flexible and precise adjustment of the read head. The slotted holes in the mounting bracket allow the read head to be moved in the y and z axes to achieve the most accurate alignment possible with the Data Matrix code tape.

PGV*R*-F213-B12-0.7M* Installation and Commissioning Attaching Mounting Brackets to the AGTS Figure 3.15 Mounting bracket (PCV-MB1) Position the mounting bracket in the direction of the Data Matrix code tape so that the read head can be precisely adjusted afterward. Use the three slots to mount the mounting bracket. Screw the mounting bracket onto the moving part of the system using three screws.
Page 24
PGV*R*-F213-B12-0.7M* Installation and Commissioning Mounting the Read Head on the Mounting Bracket Before installing the read head, ensure that a stable and secure mounting fixture is provided. Mount the read head so that the optics of the read head with ring light and camera module point toward the Data Matrix code tape.
