SIMATIC MV420

Обзор

The SIMATIC MV420 is a particularly compact optical reader and is suitable for close-up to mid-range reading distances (approx. 10 mm to 400 mm).

The optical SIMATIC MV420 reader has been specifically designed for detecting and evaluating a variety of machine readable codes in the packaging industry (e.g. F&B, pharmaceuticals, and tobacco) and industrial production (e.g. automotive, electronics, and solar). The list of readable codes includes all standard matrix codes and barcodes which can be reliably detected - mostly independent of the printing technology applied and carrier medium used. One key feature of the unit is its ability to read data matrix codes (DMC). The SIMATIC MV420 device family is flexible, reliable and easy to use.

Highlights at a glance:

• Compact design with IP67 degree of protection.
• Variety of lenses with variable reading distances.
• Integrated high-performance lighting.
• Web server technology: a normal Web browser is sufficient for parameter assignment.
• Interfaces: Ethernet, PROFINET, RS232, DI/DO, and direct connection to RFID communication modules (ASM).
• Exceptionally high reading speeds, depending on the model.

Further important product characteristics are:

• Excellent read algorithms based on many years of experience in the development and production of optical readers for industrial applications.
• No special knowledge required for reliable parameterization of reading features. Parameterization usually unnecessary, and is only required for difficult to read codes. "Setup" is performed automatically by presenting a readable code pattern.
• Code quality evaluation: Displays the key quality parameters of the code to be read.
• Customized user interface can be easily generated with SIMATIC WinCC flexible/WinCC.
• Web-based user interface; can run on a variety of platforms meeting the following requirements: Internet browser (IE 6.0 or higher), JAVA-VM (MS, SUN).
• Password protected user interface with integrated access rights administration.
• Web-based user interface available for easy integration with an HMI device. The browser and JAVA VM requirements previously mentioned also apply in this case.
• 6 language versions (operator interface, manual and online help are each available in German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, and Chinese).

In addition, SIMATIC MV420 SR-P offers the following highlights:

• Autotrigger mode: Automatic detection of a code without an external trigger signal.
  • Savings in sensor technology and cabling.
  • Reduced potential for error as there are fewer components.
  • Solution for applications where proximity switches and light barriers cannot be used
• Open Web API interface for comfortable creation of customized applications and PC-based camera remote control
• Multicode: reads multiple codes in one step within the same field of view.
  • ID-Genius: A high-performance code reading algorithm for poorly legible directly marked data matrix codes (DPM: direct part marking).
