Application
(continued)
PROFINET/Industrial Ethernet
SIMATIC Identification systems
Code reading systems
SIMATIC MV420
2
The MV420 code readers include all common communication
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.
In this case, the combination of code reader and RFID reader is
also possible on one communication module.
The reading devices are particularly easy to use and commis-
sion despite the wide variety of options for use. Parameters are
automatically configured for most applications. If reconfiguration
is required, however, parameterization can be carried out with-
out the need for pre-installed software via the integrated Web
server using an Internet browser.
Due to the properties and functions described, the emphasis for
MV420 is on the following sectors and applications:
•
Automobile 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:
- Print or laser markings on medicines (DPM, OCR).
- 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.
- Lasered 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).
More information is available in the accompanying manual.

Design
SIMATIC MV420 is a particularly compact code reading system.
The device can be assembled from individual components or or-
dered as a ready-assembled unit. The MV420 is available in two
versions:
•
Basic model: SIMATIC MV420 SR-B
•
Performance model: SIMATIC MV420 SR-P
For the individually configurable models the following individual
components are available in addition to the basic units (body):
• Lenses
•
Ring lights
The basic units include the protective barrel for the lens.
The preconfigured models include an integrated lens (6 mm, ap-
erture 5.6) and a red ring light including protective barrel.
The following accessories are available for the connection and
installation:
•
Flexible mounting angle
•
Power DIO RS232 cable (M16 connector on open end)
•
M12 Ethernet cable (varying lengths)
•
Ethernet cable (M12 to RJ45) for commissioning/lab
operation; 2 m in length
•
Special communication module cable for M16 connector
(M16 to M12) for connecting to RFID communication modules
(ASM). Can be expanded using standard communication
module cables, if required.
•
Plug-in power supply for demonstration and lab operation (for
office environment only)
•
CD with installation/operating instructions (supplied with unit)
Further information can be found in the supplied manual.

Function
Key features of the SIMATIC MV420:
•
Code reading (refer to "Overview" and "Range of application")
•
Formatting of read results for further use and/or comparison
•
Comparing the read result with a preset value
- Specification of a comparison string via one of the serial
ports (PROFINET (ASM and onboard), PROFIBUS (ASM),
RS232)
- Comparison of the formatted read results with the
comparison string
The functions can be used individually or they can be combined.
