Once again this year, interested visitors can find out more about the latest technology topics and innovations at the stand of Leuze electronic GmbH + Co KG, Owen. For example, the company will be presenting its safe barcode positioning system FBPS 600i in an additional version with a PROFIsafe interface. This makes it particularly easy to implement safety functions.
Users can connect the device directly to a safe PLC via the interface. This allows for a particularly compact design and simplifies installation. Alternatively, the safety barcode positioning system is still available with two SSI interfaces. Both variants are suitable for applications up to performance level e, for example for the precise positioning of storage and retrieval machines or cranes. All device variants reliably detect positions with just one sensor.
Users can integrate the FBPS 600i system directly into a safety controller via the PROFIsafe interface. This device variant also has a non-safe SSI interface. This enables a connection to the frequency inverter that controls the storage and retrieval machine or a comparable machine. With the PROFIsafe variant, safe speed output is also available as a function.
The safe barcode positioning system FBPS 600i can be installed on the storage and retrieval machine, cross transfer carriage or crane. A robust, UV-resistant barcode tape is attached to the opposite side. With each scan, the FBPS 600i captures several codes, which the software uses to determine highly accurate position values. Leuze has designed the positioning system so that the scanning beam runs at an angle: As a result, it scans each code at different points during a movement (image). This avoids reading errors caused by localised soiling or damage. The short error response time of ten milliseconds also allows the system to be used on very fast storage and retrieval machines.
