The following configurations are recommended for the close or distant ranges:
■
Function
The main functions of SIMATIC MV440 are:
•
Reading
1D and 2D codes
•
Verification
(required license "Veri-Genius")
•
Text recognition
(required license "Text-Genius")
•
Comparison
of the read result with a default value
•
Object recognition
(required license "Pat-Genius")
•
Formatting
the read result for forwarding
The functions can be used individually or they can be combined.
Read
The SIMATIC MV440 reads the following 1D and 2D codes (de-
tailed information can be found in the manual):
•
1D codes (barcodes):
- Int. 2/5 (with/without checksum)
- Code 128
- Code 93
- Code 39 (with/without checksum)
- Code 32
- EAN 13
- EAN 8
- UPC-A
- UPC-E
- CodaBar
- GS1 DataBar (Omnidirectional, Stacked, Limited,
Expanded)
- Pharmacode (0° and 180°)
- Postnet
•
2D codes:
- Data Matrix Code (ECC 0 - 200)
- PDF417 (without: Truncated, Micro and Macro)
- QR (without: Micro and Macro)
- DotCode
- Vericode (demo mode/VeriCode license)
Verification
Code verification
is the term used for measuring the marking
quality of 1D and 2D codes. This additional functionality is
subject to license and is available for every SIMATIC MV440 by
installing the "Veri-Genius license". The following verification
methods are supported:
•
ISO/IEC TR29158 (previously AIM DPM-1-2006)
•
Siemens DPM
•
ISO/IEC 15415
•
AS9132 Rev. A (previously IAQG)
•
ISO/IEC 15416 (previously ANSI X3.182-1990)
For more detailed information, refer to the chapter "Verification
systems".
Optical character recognition
Text recognition
is used to detect plain text (Optical Character
Recognition: OCR). This additional functionality is subject to
license and is available for every SIMATIC MV440 by installing
the "Text-Genius license" or the "Text-Genius-Plus License". Text
recognition with the "Text-Genius-Plus license" is able to recog-
nize many fonts without training immediately after installation.
Particularly suitable fonts are:
• OCR-A
•
Semifont M13
•
and similar fonts
With training ("Text-Genius-Plus license"), text recognition is able
to recognize just about all fonts even with distortion and other
influences resulting in varied representation. By contrast, this
version requires training overhead but offers almost unlimited
potential in expanding the characters to be recognized. For
more detailed information, refer to the chapter "Text recognition".
