Good Evening ,
I installed a Banner IVU Plus BCR to check the barcode on cartons. This conveyor is running about 140 cartons a minute. I am using Ethernet to tell the BCR when to trigger. I am using a SICK laser sensor to see the carton. This laser sensor is a digital input to a ControlLogix 24 vdc input. I am then sending a trigger signal to the BCR.
The problem I have is the , it seems like I getting consistent signals from the SICK laser sensor , but the picture that the BCR shows the barcode to the left , right , sometimes center and sometimes just seeing the artwork on the box . The ones to the left , right and no barcode image are , of course failing .
I can't imagine that Ethernet is that slow. Lighting seems good. Do you think it would be best to trigger the BCR directly from the sensor ?
Thanks so much in advance,
