The IPS 2000 CVS is a real time control system that integrates OCR,
barcode and magnetic stripe technologies. The CVS reads codes or personalized reference
information from up to four different products and verifies that the printed information
on the products are matched within the same production process.
To minimize production waste, the control system has a user definable
error thresholds to setup conditions under which the production line can be programmed to
stop. Mismatched products can be diverted if a gate is available on the production line. A
no-read and misread system output control is also independently definable. To compensate
for inherent input device errors, enhanced matching logic has been incorporated into the
CVS software to increase production throughput.
Applications

Production lines
System
-
The CMS control system runs on a standard IBM compatible PC with a
real time, multi-tasking operating system in conjunction programmable logic controller and
system software.
-
Up to four (4) serial reading/input devices can be interfaced to
the system:
-Barcode scanners
-Magnetic stripe readers
-OCR Cameras
-
The maximum system production throughput is 10 products per second
– actual production throughput is input device dependent.
-
Tracking distance of up to 99 products between product detection
of the first and the last product.
-
On-line system status monitoring.
-
Product detect photo cell and rotary encoder
-
Standard length cables for controller connection to production
