Model # DEC-8100, Jawed Edge Sensor Decoding System

A Decoding System is usually a spot sensor or small camera that is specially tuned to see only the color of the codes made upstream. A spot sensor works well when there is no web wander at the point of detection, while cameras work well when there is lateral web wander where marks need to be detected, giving a typical 2”-wide field of view. Special lighting may also be required for the camera to detect the code marks.

As the codes move into the field of field of view of the sensor/camera, the individual code bits are read as 24 VDC pulses by the RYECO Decoding System. Using an encoder signal, the RYECO PLC translates the code bits into a discrete value using RYECO’s proprietary decoding software. Decoded values are then displayed on the system’s HMI along with an overall decoding status. Decoded values can be sent to other control devices via a serial string, or can simply trigger a 24 VDC output from the RYECO system.

• Transfers critical process information to downstream processes.
• Automatically decodes values on high-speed moving webs.
• Integrates with process controls to increase efficiency.
• Can detect invisible marks or marks on printed materials.

• Can decode marks at speeds of up to 10,000 fpm.
• Fast, 16 millisecond response times for cameras, .5 milliseconds for sensors.
• Matched lighting included with each camera system.
• Air purged and air cooled housings for low maintenance operation.
