With the "Text-Genius" and "Text-Genius Plus" licenses, SIMATIC MV440 can be used for text recognition (in addition to reading 1D barcodes and 2D matrix codes). Text recognition is also referred to as OCR (Optical Character Recognition). Simultaneous reading and comparing of plain text and reading of machine-readable codes in the same field of view is thus possible. "Text-Genius" allows text recognition without training for a number of character sets by using generic algorithms, and thus reading without a preparatory phase. The "Text-Genius Plus" license comprises all functions of the "Text-Genius" license and additionally enables training of further fonts and characters, including special characters and graphic symbols. Licenses The licenses are supplied as a "Single License" on a USB flash drive and can be copied to the device with the SIMATIC Automation License Manager (ALM) using a plug-in. The "Text-Genius" license is executable on a SIMATIC MV440 with firmware version 3.0 and higher, the "Text-Genius Plus" license with Firmware version 5.0 and higher. "Text-Genius" and "Text-Genius Plus" can be used anywhere where ambient conditions permit the use of the optical reader SIMATIC MV440. For details, see "SIMATIC MV440". Standard ring lights and lenses are designed to achieve IP67 degree of protection by means of the protective barrel, and for glass-free use in the food and beverages industry. If light sources or lenses are used outside the protective barrel, they must be used in compliance with their specification.
