Designed for fast and simple detection of 1D barcodes and 2D Data Matrix codes, the user can even read multiple codes within one inspection. The vision sensor is just as simple and fast to use as a normal photoelectric sensor, and easy to integrate into an application thanks to its compact dimensions. Tedious training or learning of a special programming language as with smart cameras are a thing of the past. A PLC can be used to easily switch between different inspections, and function modules for various controllers are available from Balluff.
