    CHAPTER 5 TYPICAL LAYOUTS The following typical layouts refer to system hardware configurations. However, they also require the correct setup of the software configuration parameters. Dotted lines in the figures refer to optional hardware configurations within the particular layout. All software configurations are made through DL.CODE which connects to the reader through the on-board Ethernet interface.

    SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION MULTI IMAGE ACQUISITION SETTINGS When controlled variable conditions occur in the application, Multiple Image Acquisi- tion Settings can be defined to create a database of parameter groups that handle each specific application condition. This database of pre-defined settings improves system flexibility and readiness by being applied either automatically or selectively by an activa- tion event.

    MULTI IMAGE ACQUISITION SETTINGS Automatic Image Settings Selection If we don’t know from one item to the next which reading condition will be presented, we will cycle through the pre-defined database of Image Settings (one per acquisition) in order to automatically capture the correctly lighted image over the course of several acquisitions.

  • Page 158: External Image Settings Selection

    SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION External Image Settings Selection There are some applications where the lighting conditions are known before each item is read and therefore we can pre-select the correct Image Setting from an external source. When the Image Settings Selection is External, Acquisition Sequences are created and by default each Image Setting has its own Acquisition Sequence.

    INTERNAL NETWORK CONFIGURATIONS Multidata ID-NET Network Configurations The Multidata ID-NET network communications between Master and Slave are man- aged by the application job (configuration) using the pass-through feature. A pre-config- ured job is loaded with the correct pass-through settings for both the Master and Slaves when the Default Multidata Configuration is selected from the Internal Network Setting feature.
  • Page 176 SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION If necessary, Slave device photometric (Image Settings) parameters must be configured separately through DL.CODE. This is preferably done through each device’s Ethernet TCP/IP channel. If Slave devices are not NOTE connected to Ethernet you must temporarily (manually) connect them one by one to perform Image Settings.
