Communication via IO-Link
With the 'O2I' multicode reader, ifm shows how IO-Link can be used in modern vision systems. Applications can be found primarily in logistics.
The vision sensor from ifm checks the quality of codes and text information or ensures traceability along the entire process. For use in dark or shaded environments, it is equipped with integrated RGBW lighting so that, according to the manufacturer, it can also detect difficult color combinations between code, text and background. The reader uses the COM3 standard with a speed of 230.4 kbaud for data transmission via IO-Link. For better transferability, data with a size of more than 32 bytes is automatically divided into several blocks and therefore transferred quickly to the controller. In addition to transmission, IO-Link also simplifies the handling of the multicode reader, which can be set using a teach button. To do this, it is aligned with the code and then automatically performs focusing, code type detection and exposure adjustment.
