Fixed code reader EOK CC

Equipped with up to 8 high-precision scanning heads, the system scans a variety of pharmacodes during code transport. These signals are captured and evaluated electronically. If the recognized code matches the reference code pre-set by operator input or teach-in, the corresponding outputs are set and the reading results are transferred to the integrated shift register. The EOK-CC is operated interactively by means of a membrane keypad and graphic LED display. All input parameters remain in storage even if a power failure occurs (a backup battery is not required!). Operating mode and various default settings can be preselected for each of the 8 inputs by defining format parameters. The scanning heads can execute various reference codes and operating modes for monitoring the product packaging. When packaging a product in cartons, scanning head 1 checks the pharmacode printed on the carton flap, scanning heads 2 and 3 check the codes at the top and bottom of the instruction leaflet and a fourth scanning head checks the quantity of printing ink used for the printed batch code and/or expiry date. The system combines these reading results and any additional information entered in the shift register via additional inputs. Having done this, it activates various ejector units by means of the integrated shift register. Alternatively, outputs may also be set directly after the code is recognized or at the end of a reading gate or the like.
