To implement automatic identification of goods, materials and material carriers for
process and production plants, the SIMATIC Ident product portfolio from Siemens
offers customized modules for this task.
This application example shows what needs to be considered when configuring MV
systems with MV420 / MV440 and ASM 456.

Overview
The figure below provides an overview of the automation task.
Figure 1-1
A large number of interface and communication modules are available to integrate
the SIMATIC Ident modules into a SIMATIC control system.
For running the SIMATIC MV modules on SIMATIC S7 controllers, suitable function
blocks are available for programming using STEP 7 TIA Portal.
Depending on the preferred transmission type, the user has to select the
appropriate communication module.
Objective of this configuring aid
The aim of this application example is to connect the MV readers to the control
system via PROFIBUS. The communication module required for this is the ASM
456. SIMATIC MV420 / MV440 is used as the MV system for identification using
1D/2D codes, labeling and/or shapes.
The goal of this application example is to support you in commissioning your
SIMATIC Ident modules. The application example mainly focuses on the ready-to-
use blocks of the "SIMATIC Ident" library. It additionally describes the project
engineering and configuration of the SIMATIC Ident modules.
