SIMATIC MV420 Siemens

Область применения

Key features of the SIMATIC MV420:

• Reading of 1D and 2D codes
• 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 possibilities for use range from identification of stationary parts to fast moving parts on conveyor systems. The powerful integrated lighting allows a very compact design. Due to its high degree of protection (IP67), the device is protected against environmental influences. The optical SIMATIC MV420 reader is therefore suitable for all industrial applications, including direct part marking (DPM). In addition to industrial production, the compact design and flexibility of the optical SIMATIC MV420 reader also make it optimally suitable for the packaging industry (such as for the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and tobacco industries).

The optical readers of the MV420 series include all common communications interfaces, such as Ethernet or PROFINET, and can therefore be connected to a wide variety of systems. An integrated RS422 interface makes it possible to use all of the RFID communication modules, such those required for the PROFIBUS connection. The combination of optical reader and RFID reader is also possible on one communication module.

The reading devices are particularly easy to use and commission despite the wide variety of options for use. Parameters are automatically configured for most applications. If recalibration is required, however, parameter assignment can be carried out conveniently using an Internet browser on the integrated Web server without the need for pre-installed software.

Due to the properties and functions described, the emphasis for MV420 is on the following sectors and applications:

• Automotive industry:
  • Needle markings on various drive components (DPM), e.g. cylinder heads, cylinder blocks, manifolds.
  • Laser markings on various power train components (DPM), e.g. camshafts, crankshafts, cylinder piston, connecting rods, gearbox components.
  • Laser markings on electronic components, printed circuit boards, or enclosures.
• Pharmaceutical industry, food industry (F&B), tobacco industry:
  • Printed or laser markings on drugs (DPM, OCR/OCV).
  • Recording the contents of cartons (up to 150 codes).
  • Read portal by linking several cameras.
• Aerospace industry:
  • Needle or laser markings on gas turbine blades (DPM).
  • Needle or laser markings on jet engine components (DPM).
• Medical equipment:
  • Laser markings on heart pacemakers and other implants (DPM).
  • Laser markings on medical devices (DPM).
• Electronics:
  • Needle or laser markings on hard disk components.
  • Laser or etched markings on hard disk components (DPM)
• Semiconductors:
  • Laser markings on rigid and flexible circuit boards (DPM).
  • Laser markings on enclosed semiconductor components, heat sinks or heat exchangers (DPM).

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).
