AS-Interface is standard bus and safety bus in one
The AS-Interface is by far the simplest networking system for low level field devices, says Ken Davies, Managing Director of LC Automation.
Developed to be a true universal reader, no other single device performs as many functions as the ODT-HH-MAH200, and its cost is also far less than comparable systems.
With its unique dual path optical system, a 1.3Mpixel CMOS sensor, and a 400MHz processor the ODT-HH-MAH200 can support high density matrix codes as well as the larger low density linear codes.
It also boasts a superior working range, high-speed omnidirectional decoding, flexible configuration settings and a choice of three cordless or cable interface versions.

AS-interface systems on show
AS-i Tech 2003 is the show dedicated to AS-interface systems, solutions and technologies in the industrial networking and communications environment.
It is the only product available in handheld, gun handle, and presentation-stand form factors with cabled, batch and cordless versions.
The cordless version uses the latest Bluetooth class 1 interface with a 90m operating range, and will operate for a complete shift at the highest use rate.
In fact the ODT-HH-MAH200 will perform more than 4000 reads and transmits from a single battery charge.

It is even small and light enough to be used in parcel tracking with a 1300mAh lithium-ion battery and 8Mbyte of nonvolatile memory outperforming all other store and forward devices.
ODT-HH-MAH200 automatically distinguishes between all major 2D matrix and linear barcode symbologies and features a time stamp feature for logging data.
Whether the need is for a small, palm-held device or a traditional gun, the ODT-HH-MAH200 is specifically developed to enable users to easily choose the device that best meets their needs.
The ODT-HH-MAH200 is available in three basic configurations: the ODT-HH-MAH200 cabled version is available with USB (standard) or RS232 interfaces.
All cables use rugged, automatic locking adapters that allow users to change cables, but prevent inadvertent disconnections.
The ODT-HH-MAH200 Batch version features a 1300mAh lithium-ion battery with a 6200-scan lifespan plus 8h standby time.
The unit features 8Mbyte of nonvolatile memory and automatically recharges when connected via the USB interface.
The ODT-HH-MAH200 cordless version features a class 1 Bluetooth interface with a 90m operating range and communicates seamlessly with desktop or laptop PCs, PDAs, printers, cellphones, point of sale devices, LAN and WLAN routers.
