Panasonic PD50 manual Flexible setup, high-speed reading, Integration made easy

Flexible setup

PD50 can be setup in two different ways. If you prefer to configure PD50 with a PC or a notebook, our free software PDTOOL will quickly and easily assist you step-by-step. Automatic teach-in and other useful functions allow even un- experienced users to configure the PD50. Alternatively, if you don’t use PCs in your production environment, settings can be done with the Operation and Finder Unit. These small, panel-mountable devices can also monitor images and results during inspection.

360° high-speed reading

PD50 can read codes, regardless of their rotation angle. As long as the code is within the sensor’s field of view, it will be read reliably, even if partially stained, destroyed, mirrored or even reversed. Thanks to its RISC CPU, PD50 can achieve a processing time of only 30 ms.

Integration made easy

PD50 can be easily integrated into existing machines. While decoding results are output via its RS232 port, signals for the inspection trigger, program change, readability flag, etc. are handled by the digital interface. Furthermore, PD50 can be easily connected to our GT series touch-screen displays because both devices communicate via MEWTOCOL. These displays are a good solution, if customised user interfaces are required.
