Barcode reader

The PresencePlus P4 BCR vision sensor from Banner Engineering reads 2D and 1D barcodes including data matrix ECC200 and PDF 417, as well as linear codes such as 39, 128, Codabar, Interleaved 2 of 5, EAN-8 and EAN-13 (supports UPC-A).

The sensor allows users to accurately read many different barcode types. Industry-standard barcode metrics and grading capabilities make it suitable for a wide range of applications that include: error-proofing product codes stamped on parts in a precision metal stamping application; verifying content codes for pharmaceutical packaging application; validating recipient information in a credit card remittance operation; providing traceability in an automobile assembly operation.

Remote Teach allows the sensor to learn new features to inspect for, without connecting to a PC or shutting down the production line; a built-in live video output allows users to view the sensor's inspections in real time and to view failed inspection images without a PC; the sensor interfaces to machinery or factory networks through a built-in 10/100 ethernet connection or RS232 serial input/outputs.

The sensor is available with two lens positions: inline (on the end of the housing) and right-angle (on the side of the housing).

The unit's three bi-colour LED indicators show status during set-up and operation. It operates on 10 to 30 VDC.
