. PICK-TO-LIGHT OPERATION
Work flow of pick-to-light system: Below simply describe the basic operation
Data entry
Picking list files can be downloaded to the LAN server or PC from WMS/MIS host. These
files will be read and merged into pick-to-light picking list database.
Control and communication
Pick-to-light software will monitor picking flow and offer real-time information on the
screen.
Light up
Different models of picking tags light up to indicate what order, which location and how
many pieces to be picked.
Pick and confirm
The picker picks the quantity as tag shows or modifies the quantity directly from tag, then
push the button to confirm this action.
2 Complete
Completion indicator will light up and buzz after all jobs in a zone are done. Push the
button to confirm this action and move this order to the next available zone.

ABLEPick Hardware
TCP/IP controller
AT500
TCP/IP controller is a data transmission medium between picking control PC and all the
picking devices. Which is Ethernet architecture product, following up the standard TCP/IP
communication protocol to communicate with the host PC. Each controller has 4 output
channels to connect to the picking devices, each channel can connect to maximum 30
devices. So one TCP/IP controller can connect to maximum 120 pcs of picking devices.
Specifications:
- To host computer communication interface :
IEEE 802.3 Base band (Ethernet)
RJ-45 Phone-jack connector x 1
Transmission speed: 10 / 100 Mbps
Communication protocol : TCP/IP
- Input Voltage and current: AC 115/230 V, 50/60 Hz
- Power supply : Maximum 320 Watt
- Temperature : 0 °C to 50 °C operating, -20 °C to 70 °C storage
- Humidity: 90% non-condense
- Dimension: Aluminum case 250(L)*130(W)*100(H)mm

AT500s IP configuration
AT500s default IP address is 10.0.50.100 and sub-mask is 255.255.0.0. You can use
ATOPs tool MONITOR.exe to know and re-configure each AT500s IP address.
Connection to TCP/IP controller (AT500)
Since AT500 has no DHCP function, so its host control PC/NB need to assign one IP
address which have to be within the same domain as the AT500. Then you can create one
TCP connection to connect it. AT500s TCP port is 4660.
