The SIMATIC VS130-2 vision sensor has been developed especially for reading data matrix codes (DMC) ECC200 in an industrial environment. More 2D codes and 1D codes are also available making the vision sensor into a complete code reader:

• 1D codes (barcodes):

• code 39
• code 128
• interleave 2/5
• EAN13
• 2D codes:

• data matrix code (DMC) according to ECC200
• QR (alphanumeric characters; without subversions: truncated, macro, micro)
• PDF417 (without subversions: Macro, micro)

SIMATIC VS130-2 reads codes on different construction elements and surfaces, e.g. (incomplete listing):

• paper or plastic labels
• plastic parts
• circuit boards
• metallic objects

SIMATIC VS130-2 reads codes of different types of markings, e.g. (incomplete list):

• printed
• stamped
• lasered
• drilled

No parameter definition for adapting to the various materials and types of marking is required by the user. "Training" is performed automatically by presenting a readable code pattern. Programming and parameterization are not required.

Can be used for the following applications:

• coded information can be read out
• comparing coded information with a defined character sequence
• quality assessment of the marking process (exclusively DMC)

Parameters are set using the web-based operator interface which runs on various platforms (requires IE5.5 or higher, JAVA-VM (MS, SUN))

The web-based operator interface is also used for controlling the device from an HMI device. In this case, the requirements mentioned above also apply with regard to the browser and JAVA-VM.

Other features:

• Remote maintenance using web-based operator interface
• Remote-controlled with integrated digital inputs, PROFIBUS or PROFINET I/O
• Can be supplied as a complete package in several variations for different object sizes
• The product is available in 6 languages (operator interface, manual and online help are available in German, English, French, Spanish, Italian and Chinese)
