A.1 Selection of suitable components
It is important to select the appropriate components to suit the ambient conditions in which
your optical reader is operated and the associated requirements of your reading
environment. These usually comprise:
•
Optical reader
• Lens
• Ring light
• Protective lens barrel
• Micro SD adapter
• Accessories (e.g. switch, communication module, connecting or Ethernet cable, etc.)
You can learn which components are right for your requirements using the SIMATIC Ident
Configuration Guide. The guide is available at the following link:

The tools support you with the following questions, among others:
•
Which lens (focal length, aperture, focus, operating distances) is the best option for my
ambient conditions/requirements?
• Which lenses can be used with which reader?
• Which protective lens barrel needs to be used for which lens?
• Which lenses can be used with the internal ring lights?
The readers can also be operated with third-party external lamps/ring lights. In this case, the
ring light must be adjusted accordingly.
