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 SIMATIC MV420 optical reader was 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:
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 as well as the connection of RFID communications modules directly on the device.
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.
