INTRODUCTION PRECAUTIONS ON SAFETY • Meanings of Signal Words The following signal words are used in this manual. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in minor or moderate injury, or may result in serious injury or death. Additionally there may be WARNING significant property damage.
Page 8: Precautions For Safe Use
This product is not designed or rated for ensuring safety of persons. Do not use it for such purposes. A lithium battery is built into the V530-R160E/EP and may occasionally combust, explode, or burn if not treated properly. Dispose of the Controller as industrial waste, and never disassemble, apply pressure that would deform, heat to 100 C or higher, or incinerate the V530-R160E/EP.
Page 9 • Use an appropriate ground (100 Ω maximum). • Use a grounding point as close as possible to the V530-R160E/EP and keep the ground line as short as possible. • Wire the V530-R160E/EP to the ground with a separate ground wire. To avoid grounding problems, do not share the ground wiring with any other devices or ground the V530-R160E/EP to the building’s steel framing or plumbing.
Page 10: Precautions For Correct Use
Notice for Korea Radio Law  Other Precautions • Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the V530-R160E/EP.

Page 28: What Is A 2-Dimensional Code Reader
SECTION 1 Outline What is a 2-dimensional Code Reader? It is a device for reading 2-dimensional codes directly marked on products and parts. 2-dimensional code means code that has two dimensions (faces). It permits more data to be written than bar code, which contains information in one direction only.
Page 29 SECTION 1 Outline  The Marking can be Done in a Small Space Conventional bar codes were too large to be printed on some smaller parts. 2-dimensional codes allow high-density information to be packed into a small space. Example: Reading printed circuit board information. V530-R160 Operation Manual...

Page 31 SECTION 1 Outline  2 cameras can be used for reading. If two cameras are connected, two types of reading process can be handled with one controller. The scene can be set for each process, and the reading triggers can be input at TRIG C and TRIG D of the parallel I/O.
Page 32 SECTION 1 Outline  Dot code images can be converted to easy-to-read images. Dilate or Erosion processing converts code images that have a small dot size and are difficult to read into images that can be read reliably. Refer to page 94 (Sec.5). Result of Dilate Before processing After processing...
Page 33 SECTION 1 Outline  The reading results over time can be expressed in the form of a graph. By using the trend monitor display function, trends in the marking status and illumination status of the code can be observed. This can help prevent the occurrence of frequent reading failures, and help in the analysis of the cause of reading failures.
