Image processing
3.1 Code reading (1D/2D codes)
SIMATIC MV500

•
Resistant to interference patterns (grooves, granularity) in the area of the code
•
Wide tolerance of contrast fluctuations.
•
Wide range of imaging sizes from 5 to 35 pixels per cell.
•
Light shadows or shiny areas in cells are tolerated. The polarity of the cells compared with
the background must not, however, become inverted within a code.
•
The ratio of the distance to the closest neighbor and the diameter of any cell can be
between 2 and 0.8.
•
Although code dots must be printed according to a regular square grid pattern, individual
points can be displaced from their ideal position by up to 1/3 of the grid unit. Even slight
parallelogram-shaped distortions during printing are tolerated.
•
With large-image but small-dimensioned codes, slight curves in the printed material
surface are tolerated. With larger dimension codes (for example, more than 14 x 14) or a
strongly inclined sensor axis, curves are not allowed.
•
Large tolerance of background disturbances that cannot be described quantitatively
•
Large tolerance of poor contrast conditions
•
The optical reader reads codes with a maximum code dimension of 72 x 72 cells.
3.1.2.2
Quality of data matrix codes
The standard recognition process of the optical reader allows reliable and fast reading of
printed data matrix codes of good quality.
Range of application
•
In this mode, the read rates achieved are higher than those when reading complex codes.
•
The range of image sizes is from 1.5 to 35 pixels per cell. The range is static.
•
The cells do not overlap or only slightly, nor are the majority isolated.
•
The distortions are minimal, for example due to installation of the optical reader at an
angle.
•
There are no or only a few foreign objects in the area of the code.
•
There are no interference patterns (grooves, granularity) in the area of the code.
•
Fluctuations in contrast are slight.
3.1.2.3
QR codes
Note
Maximum code dimension/unsupported code types
•
Codes with a maximum code dimension of 89 x 89 can be read.
•
The following code types are not supported: Micro QR code, Macro QR code.
