Introduction
1. Introduction
1.1 Device Description
The COSI 221 is a barcode reader that recognizes and identifies code on
packaging material.
Our developments unite comfortable operation and a graphic user
interface. Together with the Laetus web technology (wt), the COSI 221
stands for reliable recognition of PHARMA-CODETM on various different
products.
The iBox-COSI 221 is connected with the evaluation unit (e.g.
COMMANDER 12-01) via the Ethernet interface.

10 Laetus web technology | 13 9 66 0802 | FirmwareVersion 1.1.x/2.0.x | 2009-10
Introduction
The iBox was developed by us and processes and transmits sensor data
to the control device or computer. For this, you need the graphical user
interface of the Laetus NAVIGATOR, from which all Laetus wt-devices can
be operated.
Fig.2 iBox-COSI 221
The operation of the COSI 221 is easily learned. Commands are entered
using a touch-sensitive screen (touchscreen) or common entry devices of
a computer such as mouse and keyboard.
The device is started using the machine. You do not have to switch on the
COSI 221 and the iBox separately.
