Description
1.1
Area of application
The products of the SIMATIC MV500 series are optical readers designed specifically for the
recognition and processing of numerous machine-readable codes and plain text in industrial
production.
The optical readers provide a wide range of options for identification:
● Reading numerous machine-readable 1D and 2D codes
● A combination of the options listed above
Over and above this, the optical readers provide important functions for:
● Verification of the marking quality of machine-readable codes (according to standards).
● "OK"/"N_OK" evaluation based on numerous criteria.
● Position and orientation recognition, for example for "pick & place" tasks.
In the SIMATIC MV500 device series, particular emphasis was placed on:
● Ruggedness
● Reliability
● Easy installation
● Browser-based, no-installation, user interface / Web Based Management (WBM)
● Ease of operation
This applies not only to the mechanical properties but also to the high-quality image
processing functions of all devices in the SIMATIC MV500 product series.
Key functions of the optical reader
● Reading machine-readable markings
The list of readable codes includes all common matrix and barcodes that can usually be
detected reliably regardless of the print technique or the carrier medium used.
● "OK"/"N_OK" evaluation
Whether for checking quality criteria, match criteria, position or angle of rotation deviation
using SIMATIC MV500, actuators can be controlled directly to take workpieces that do
not meet the requirements out of the production process.
Industrial applications
Due to their ruggedness and high degree of protection, the optical readers are suitable for
industrial applications in which optical identification tasks are necessary. This applies equally
to production processes and logistics processes.
