FS20
Zebra's smallest network-connected fixed industrial scanner for PLC-controlled track and trace, upgradable to machine vision via license.
FS20 is Zebra's smallest network-connected fixed industrial scanner, designed for industrial barcode and DPM reading in PLC-controlled track-and-trace applications. Built-in Ethernet/IP, PROFINET and other protocols integrate it with common PLC and host systems. It offers ImagePerfect, ManyCode and Golden Image Compare. New symbologies, speed or machine vision functions are added with a software license.
