3.4 Workflow

4 Components

The T2650 contains the following components

• Central operation via HMI (PLM optional)

• High-resolution camera, typically 11 megapixels

• High-performance LED lighting (maintenance-free)

• Evaluation processor (Windows-based)

• UPS

• Central main switch; 24 DC power supply unit

• Electronically adjustable camera lens

• Monitor for visualization purposes

• Signal lamp

• Foot pedal

4.1 Operational Area

The verification of all items is performed by the High Resolution Camera. The data matrix codes are
collected automatically and aggregated by the PLM.

4.2 Brief Description

The PCE Shipping Case Station is a complete solution and can therefore easily be used as a "standalone"
unit for manual packaging. The system includes software for managing and controlling the installed
equipment, as well as for analysing the data determined by the PCE High Resolution Camera.

T2650 Top/Down:

Manually place the box beneath the camera and trigger the reading with the foot pedal or by tilting the table.
The PLM verifies the subsequently determined data.

T2650 Bottom/Up

Manually place the folding box(es) on top of the glass window and trigger the reading with the foot pedal.
The PLM verifies the subsequently determined data.

Code Reading

The Shipping Case Station automatically verifies all 1D codes (eg. code 39, 93, 128) or 2D codes
(Datamatrix, QR-Code) with a single shot. A label is generated based on the information gathered. The so­called "parent-child" connection is therefore reproduced quickly and reliably.

Stainless steel generally provides much better protection against corrosion when compared with steel or
aluminium. Stainless steel, however, does not always remain rust-free. Stainless steel can also become
dirty or rusty to some extent, depending on the operational use and the conditions in the working
environment. The most common causes are surface rust (fine iron particles in the air), active gases, the
accumulation of sediments and the build-up of salts. These superficial damages can be easily removed by
using a stainless steel spray daily. After cleaning with soap and water, you should check that the residue is
washed off with a suitable amount of water.

9.5 Cleaning the Touch Screen

The display surface is made from glass and the casing from stainless steel. To ensure efficient operation,
the surface of the touch screen should be cleaned regularly. Only special cleaning wipes and cleaning
agents should be used:

• Commercial cleaners for computer equipment

• Alcohol-based disinfectants

CAUTION

Solvents can damage the display.

Never use diluting agents, benzene, abrasives or other strong solvents, as these can
damage the display!

10 Transport and Storage

10.1 Transporting the System

CAUTION

Risk of injury and damage to property

When the system is transported using a lift truck or other similar vehicle, its upper section
should be held in place by one additional person (or two additional persons, if
necessary) to prevent the system from tipping over.

The weight of the system is considerable, and its center of gravity varies depending on the specific structural
design desired by the customer. It is therefore difficult to provide recommendations for specific lifting points.
You can find more detailed (i.e. order-specific) information on the center of gravity in the accompanying
documents.

10.2 Preparing for Transport

• Shut off the system and have it disconnected from the power supply by a qualified electrician.

CAUTION

The system must never be subjected to major mechanical stresses (impacts,
etc.). Impacts – regardless of the direction from which they act on the system
– or falls can destroy the system.

Make sure that any protruding parts such as light barrier holders, etc. do not become bent
and do not injure anyone.
Take particular care to protect plastic covers.

10.3 Storing the System, Accessories and Spare Parts

• Store the system upright in the original packaging in a clean and dry place until it is to be installed.

• Keep all electronic parts delivered in antistatic bags in their bags until the parts are to be used. This

ensures that they are optimally protected.

USB is a serial I/O interface. The USB ports comply with the USB 2.0 specification and are located on the
IPC and on the outside of the control cabinet.
If you require more USB ports, then a USB hub can be used to expand one of the ports and to provide
additional connections. PCE is responsible for the technical design of the hub.

11.1.3 Keyboard Connection

USB port

It is possible to connect a standard external keyboard to the System via USB port.

11.1.4 Serial Ports (COM1, COM2 and COM3)
