6.2.8 Special Characters
Do not use characters with the hexadecimal codes [00 - 19; D800 - DFFF; FFFE; FFFF] for barcodes,
as these cannot be transferred to the machines.
6.2.9 Docking Station
If the Docking Station is switched off, Setup Center must be re-started, so that the Docking Station
and Setup Center can synchronize correctly. The start of the Docking Station can last up at a minute.
Setup Center must not be started beforehand.
A CAN Bus PCI Card is necessary to connect the docking station. This card enables you to connect
a maximum of 8 docking stations. The card supports 2 CAN busses so that 4 docking stations can
be connected to each bus. A maximum of one CAN Bus PCI Card per computer is possible.
If the CAN Bus is not properly terminated, problems may arise when trying to connect.
6.2.10 Manual Barcode Input
When the barcode is entered manually, registration of user barcodes (via Barcode Wizard) is not
supported.
6.2.11 Multiple Instances Setup Center
Setup Center does not synchronize several running instances. The GUI is updated only when the
associated data is changed in the current instance of Setup Center. This happens most frequently if
for example one Setup Center instance is used in the pre-setup area and another one at the line.
The tables taken from offline to online are only updated in the Setup Center instance on the line.
Offline setup data can be refreshed by closing and re-opening the offline setup verification.
6.2.12 Barcode Reader
The Datalogic barcode readers can only show ASCII characters on their displays. This means that
all names that contain non-ASCII characters have difficulties in being displayed correctly.
If a button is pressed on the Datalogic barcode reader when no receiver is present, this information
will not be transferred again. It is then necessary to press another button or scan a barcode to
reestablish the communication.
Data transmission between base and reader is done at a frequency of 433 MHz. The maximum
distance between base and reader is 50 m (unobscured). It is possible to connect up to 32 scanners
to one base.
Restriction for the USA model:
The USA model works at 910 MHz with a maximum coverage of 30 m.
6.2.13 Management of Equipment
Setup Center does not offer any GUI elements for managing equipment, for example changeover
tables or feeders.
NOTE:
It is recommended generally not to use special characters since it can cause
errors.

6.2.14 Barcode Fragment
The maximum length of a barcode fragment is 255 characters, except the barcode fragment ‘Unique
ID’ with 40 signs. The length is also restricted by the barcode reader type used, by the barcode code
(e.g. Code 3of9, EAN 128 etc.) and by the barcode contents. It is therefore impossible to give a fixed
length restriction.
The first configured barcode of a barcode label must have a minimum length of 5 letters. It doesn't
matter whether it is divided on one fragment or several fragments.
6.2.15 Change in Behaviour - Locking Instead of Tearing Down
In exceptional circumstances, it may happen that tracks on a station are locked by Setup Center but
that this locking state no longer persists in Setup Center so that the tracks cannot be unlocked
automatically.
In this case the locks can be synchronized with the station: Right-clicking on the relevant station
opens a menu in which the locks will be synchronized by left-clicking on the menu item
'Synchronizing locks'.
