This manual describes the connection, setup, and operation of the BC5100 system when used in conjunction with the LogiComm control system. -
Page 9: System Components
BC5100 Bar Code Scanner The BC5100 system uses a laser diode scanner capable of 2000 scans per second that can monitor any of the eight bar code symbologies at line speeds up to 207 mpm (680 fpm). When the BC5100 system is used with a LogiComm control system, products with defective bar codes are automatically tracked and either ejected from the production line or marked for removal. -
