General
The PCV… reading head is part of the positioning system in the method for measurement by Pepperl+Fuchs. It
consists of a camera module and an integrated illumination unit among other things. The reading head detects position marks, which are put on an adhesive code band in the form of Data Matrix code. The mounting of the code
band is as a rule stationary on a firm part of the plant (elevator shaft, overhead conveyor mounting rails…); that of
the reading head is parallel on the moving "vehicle" (elevator car, overhead conveyor chassis…).
Mounting and commissioning
Mount the reading head such that its optical surface captures the optimal read distance to the code band (see Tech-
