With the multicode reader O2I, ifm shows how IO-Link can be used in image processing. The reader enables the evaluation of various 1D and 2D codes and texts in a single image. It uses the COM3 standard for data transmission via IO-Link at a speed of 230.4 kBaud. For better transferability, data with a size of more than 32 bytes is automatically divided into several blocks and thus quickly transferred to the controller. The basic configuration is possible using a smartphone app, which can also be used to set triggers or the IP address. The smartphone then generates a data matrix code that is held in the O2I’s field of view to configure the sensor. A more extensive configuration is possible with the ifm Vision Assistant software.
