Datalogic BC9600-433 is a professional charging and communication station that serves as an essential accessory for wireless barcode scanners from the PowerScan 9600 series, specifically for the PM9600 model. This basic module is designed to ensure reliable power supply to the scanner through modern inductive charging technology. This eliminates the risk of damage, contamination, or wear of conventional contact pins, which is one of the main sources of failures in demanding industrial environments. The station thus ensures a longer service life of the equipment and greater scanner availability for operators.
In addition to its charging function, the BC9600-433 serves as a communication interface between the scanner and the host system. The model designated 433 supports wireless communication in the 433 MHz band using the proprietary Datalogic STAR Cordless System. This enables stable and fast data transmission even in environments with a high density of radio signals. It is important to note that this station is supplied without a built-in interface for connection to a computer or network. For full functionality, it is therefore necessary to supplement it with a separate communication module from the CM96xx series (for example with a USB, RS-232, Ethernet, or Profinet interface), which can be easily inserted into the station. This modular design enables easy maintenance and future updates of communication standards without the need to replace the entire station.
The station is an ideal choice for logistics centers, production lines, and warehouse spaces where emphasis is placed on reliability and uninterrupted operation. Thanks to the integrated system for monitoring battery health and device status, the station enables preventive maintenance planning and minimizes unplanned outages. The robust construction meets the durability standards of the PowerScan 9600 series, which is tested for drops from a height of 2.5 meters onto concrete and is protected against dust and water according to IP65/IP67 standards.
