Angle Output
The read head detects a change of the angle of the colored tape and the Data Matrix code tape
and outputs this value to the controller. The output value is different for colored tapes and Data
Matrix code tapes.
Colored tape
The read head detects the angle in relation to the tracked lane with a resolution of 360 (corre-
sponds to 1
°
). The angle is specified relative to the tracked lane because a colored tape does
not include any direction information. The output angle covers the range from -45
°
to 45
°
. The
resolution is 1
°
.

Relative angle
Note
Angles are specified as absolute values. The respective value is calculated from the resolution
selected under "Angle Resolution". With a resolution of 0.1
°
, an angle of
60
°
is output as
60
°
/0.1
°
=
600
