Sick has released the CLV615 Dual Port barcode scanner, featuring an integrated switch that makes it easy to install the sensor in a Profinet IO network.
The CLV615 Dual Port is an addition to Sick’s portfolio of flexible fieldbus identification sensors, complementing the Profinet onboard single port for barcode scanners, image-based code readers and RFID devices. This means that either the existing solution with the external CDF600-2 fieldbus module or the dual-port variant can be used to integrate the scanner in a ring topology.
The compact laser scanner is suitable for identifying totes within picking and conveyor systems and, with a scanning frequency of up to 1000 scans/s and a reading field of between 25 and 330 mm, it is optimised for intralogistics.
There are a number of different configuration methods. As well as typical configuration direct in the control environment (via a GSDML file), the scanner can also be configured using the SOPAS ET user interface. If the barcode scanners are installed in a ring topology, the redundant set-up means that the system will continue running, even if there is an isolated fault in the cable or a field device. This is due to the fact that the CLV615 Dual Port supports the media-redundant protocol, thereby ensuring continued data communication with every device in the network after a short switching time.
