Operation
B2. Tracking mode (controlled by increment)
Note SICK AG can design and preconfigure more complex omni-portal systems to fulfill the
customer's reading requirements and then provide appropriately trained personnel to
install, test and put these systems into operation.
An overview of the parameterization steps for an example situation is given below (the
overview does not include all available parameterization options).
Conditions:
• Max. 20 consecutive objects in conveyor direction simultanously in the reading field.
Example: Omni-directional 3-side reading with groups of CLV490 (slaves) and OTC400
Controller (master) for object tracking
• Minimum object gap between two objects in conveyor direction: 50 mm (1.97 in)
• Size of reading field = distance between sensor for beginning/end of object and object
release point parameterized in the OTC400 (data output)
• Autofocus/focus position switchover in the CLV490 according to application:
– with OTS height information via CAN bus for reading from top
– one distance configuration (fixed focus) for e. g. reading from side and sufficient
depth of field (DOF)
• Autofocus mode "Differential background and tracking", see Table 6-6, Page 6-13
• Sensor for beginning/end of object and incremental encoder connected to the OTC400
• Master/slave arrangement using the CAN interface
Possible reading triggers:
• via OTS
Further preparations for each CLV490:
¾ Configuring reading area: see Chapter a)Parameterizing reading area, Page 6-10.
¾ Selecting focus control mode: see Chapter b) Selecting focus control mode,
Page 6-11.
¾ Configuring focus control: see Chapter c) Parameterizing focus control, Page 6-12.
¾ Configuring oscillating mirror (optional): see Chapter e) Parameterizing oscillation mirror
functions (optional), Page 6-17.
¾ Configuring no. of bar codes to be read: see Chapter h) Parameterizing the evaluation
characteristics, Page 6-36
Note To separate bar codes of the same type with identical contents, connect an incremental
encoder and activate the "Seperate codes dependent on reading angle" function. See also
Table 6-24, Page 6-36.
