Trigger based offset
Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Marking On The Fly can be used to set up an assembly line production with many targets passing by one after another through the scanner field.

Figure 368 shows an example of such an assembly line. Each marking is started by an external trigger signal and the distance between the print mark for the trigger signal and the target is always the same. For USC-1/-2/-3 and RTC5/6 cards, the Trigger Control Objects can be used to generate such an offset.

MOTF_AssemblyLine_TriggerBasedOffset
Figure 368: Assembly line with Marking On The Fly: the trigger sensor gives a start signal for each print mark to mark the target. Print mark is located distance A apart from the target.

The job for such a setup can look like in figure 369:

Figure 369: Job for Trigger based offset with Marking On The Fly

Please note that the distance which needs to be specified in the ScMotfOffset entity of the job depends on the positioning of the entity within the scan field (working area in SAMLight) as well as by the positioning of the trigger sensor in respect to the scan field (Offset T in figure 368).
