Notes on installation

Note
Creating optimal reading conditions
When you install the optical reader, make sure that the code to be read is visible to the
optical reader with the best possible quality. You can optimally set up and align the reader
using the WBM ("Application > Program > Image acquisition").
When installing the reader, pay attention to the following points:
● The viewing angle to the code may vary from 40° to 90° and 80° to 90° depending on the
code type.
You can find more information on the viewing angle in the section "Performance
characteristics when reading codes (Page 34)". You can find information on optimal setup
and alignment of the reader in the section "Connecting and setting up the reader using
the PST (Page 90)".
● Note that the mounting location and viewing angle may affect the readability of the code.
– There must be as few reflections as possible in the code field.
– The code field must be evenly lit without shadows.
● Keep enough distance between the individual codes.
● The distance between a two-dimensional code and image border must be at least 2 cell
widths (dot width or line width).
Mounting the SIMATIC MV500 optical reader
The optical readers are autonomous compact devices that need to be mounted in a suitable
location and only require a lens, a power supply cable and a communications connection.
The SIMATIC MV500 optical reader has threaded holes on the front and back, allowing
flexible mounting options.
To provide lighting when reading the codes, you have several options available. The
simplest and most space-saving option is a ring light that can be integrated in the protective
lens barrel.
