READING STATION OVERVIEW
The AV7000 camera reading system consists of two pieces:
1. A barcode reader/camera for acquiring images and locating and reading the codes
on a target.
2. A lighting system for illuminating the target codes to be acquired.
Most reading system applications use a network of multiple cameras.
All linear cameras need to know the moving speed of the targets to be acquired, so the
conveyor speed must be constantly measured. There are several ways to accomplish
this.
•Optical Encoder Wheel (Tachometer): Used underneath a conventional conveyor.
The encoder generates a pulse per specified distance (mm [in]) of conveyor travel.
•Internal Tach: This is a software-generated pulse mimicking an encoder/tachome-
ter.
•PGD100 Speed Detector: Used with tilt-tray or cross-belt sorters. This detector
uses a series of photoelectric sensors to determine the conveyor speed.
The position sensor (DM3610, RangeFinder, light curtain (DS2), or S80 Position Sensor)
can be used as a trigger source. When the height or left/right focus data measured by

the sensor goes over a certain threshold, then a package is entering the image valid
start, and when it goes under the threshold, the package is providing the image valid
stop. In most cases this sensor is not sufficiently precise and an additional "Presence
Sensor" (AS1 or photoelectric sensor) input is used. An additional photoelectric sensor
or conveyor controller signal is usually connected to a separate trigger input.
When the codes are located on more than one face of the parcel, more than one bar-
code reader-illuminator pair is necessary (multi-camera reading station). In this case,
one of the barcode readers (the "Master") collects the information from all the sensors
and distributes it to the other barcode readers using a dedicated Ethernet connection.
A CBX connection box (CBX100, CBX510, CBX800) is used to simplify the connection of
the camera to the other system components (photoelectric sensors, encoders, height
sensors, and etc.). There is only one CBX box in a multi headed system. This CBX box is
connected to the controller camera. Generally the CBX510 will be used. In cases where
Fieldbus is required the CBX800 will be needed.
A typical reading station will also include:
•Power Supply Systems: The AV7000 requires a 24 Vdc power supply. Usually each
barcode reader-illuminator pair has its own power supply system (i. e. PWR-480B).
•Connection Box: CBX100, CBX510, or CBX800
•Height/Side Position Sensor: RangeFinder, DM3610, light curtain or S80
•External Deflection Mirrors: To cover the requested reading field, the cameras
must be positioned at a given distance from their targets. In order to create read-
ing stations as small as possible, a deflection mirror is often inserted between the
target and the barcode reader.
Image Acquisition
Each barcode reader contains two distinct groups of devices:
• The acquisition device or "camera." This part of the AV7000 has to work in strict
real time to acquire the best possible images.
• The decoding device or “decoder." This part of the AV7000 interprets the data
received through the camera.
The Standard AV7000 barcode reader contains both the camera and the decoder.
As already mentioned, the camera needs three kinds of external sensors:
•Speed Sensor: At all times the camera needs to know the speed of the objects to
be acquired. The speed sensor is usually an encoder/tachometer connected to the

belt, an internal software tachometer, or a PDG100 Speed Detector when using a
tilt-tray or cross-belt system.
•Height/Side Position Sensor: The focusing position is computed by the camera
based on the position of the parcel measured by a position sensor. The Datalogic
sensors may be a RangeFinder, DM3610 Dimensioner, or AREAscan™ DS2 Light
Array (LCC-75xx Light Curtain Kit) or S80.
•Trigger Source: The camera needs to know when to acquire an object. In multiple
camera systems, each package has to be uniquely identified by all the cameras.
For this reason, all of the cameras in a reading station share a unique trigger
source.
All the sensors are connected to the Master camera that interprets the information and
distributes it to the Slave cameras.
The start and stop of an acquisition are triggered by a start/stop event generated by the
trigger device (position sensor). The acquisition of a package doesn’t start when the
trigger source detects it, but with a certain delay depending on:
• the distance between the trigger device and the view line and the far distance of
the view line for each AV7000 in the Array
• the view line angle (alpha) of the camera
• the speed of the object
Based on the AV7000 mounting position, the unit tries to acquire one (reading angle
alpha = 15°) or two faces of the parcel (alpha = +/-45°). The AV7000 can process a maxi-
mum package count of 64 between trigger and transmit.
Pulsed Illumination
When building multi-camera stations with standard continuous light illuminators, the
illumination areas must be accurately chosen to avoid the illuminator of one camera
disturbing the acquisition of another camera. In particular the lobes of the side camera
illuminators must not cross over the conveyor belt. This constraint leads to long multi-
sided reading stations.
In Pulsed Illumination systems, all the cameras are synchronized so cameras with cross-
ing illuminator lobes are not illuminating simultaneously. Using pulsed illumination, the
side cameras’ illumination lobes can cross on the conveyor and the reading station
dimensions can be greatly reduced.

Applications
The AV7000 cameras are specifically designed for industrial applications requiring high
reading performance such as:
• Low aspect ratio barcodes
• Codes covered by plastic film
• Codes with a large depth of field
• Codes within a wide field of view
• High resolution codes positioned at long distances from the barcode reader
• Fast moving objects
These barcode readers are designed for both single-reader layouts and multi-reader lay-
outs.
