Overview
The SIMATIC MV420 is a particularly compact code reading
system suitable for close-up to mid-range reading distances
(approx. 10 mm to 400 mm).
SIMATIC MV420 has been specifically designed for detecting
and evaluating a variety of machine readable codes in the pack-
aging 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 bar codes which can be reliably detected - mostly indepen-
dent 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: Parameterizable with regular Web
browser.
•
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 the SIMATIC MV440 and
VS130-2 code reading systems and many years of experience
in 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
- Saving of 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)
■
Application
Key features of the SIMATIC MV420:
•
Code reading
•
Comparing the read result with a preset value
•
Formatting of read results for further use
The range of application for the SIMATIC MV420 product family
extends to practically all areas of industrial production. The pos-
sibilities for use range from identification of stationary parts to
fast moving parts on conveyor systems. The high-performance
integrated lighting allows for an extremely compact design. The
unit is protected from environmental influences with a degree of
protection IP67. The SIMATIC MV420 code readers are therefore
suitable for all industrial applications, also for direct marking (Di-
rect Part Marking - DPM). In addition to industrial production,
thanks to its small size and flexibility, the SIMATIC MV420 code
reader is also ideally suited to the packaging industry (e.g. F&B,
pharmaceuticals and tobacco).
