Overview
1.1 Product
Description
The Vision Sensor SIMATIC VS 130 is a data matrix code reader. You can use it to
read the coded labeling of products and then pass the read code to a PLC or a
computer.
Use of the two-dimensional data matrix code is becoming more widespread due to
the following characteristics:
•
High information density
•
Readability even when damaged or poor "print" quality
•
Readability not dependent on orientation
SIMATIC VS 130 reads data matrix codes and works with overhead lighting. The
object is lit from above with the supplied ring flash.
Three models of the Vision Sensor SIMATIC VS 130 are available:
•
SIMATIC VS 130 for large code areas (order number of the full package:
6GF1 130-1AA)
•
SIMATIC VS 130 for small code areas (order number of the full package:
6GF1 130-2AA)
•
SIMATIC VS 130 for variable code areas (Order number of the basic package:
6GF1 130-3AA), if you are using C- or CS-mount lenses.
Reading or Verifying Data Matrix Code
The SIMATIC VS 130 can read and, when necessary, verify data matrix codes
(compare the entire code or part of it with a saved code).
The entire read character string or only part of it (in other words, filtered) can be
output. When it is output, further characters can de appended at the start or end as
a prefix or suffix.
The SIMATIC VS 130 can operate both in standalone mode to make good/bad
decisions or as part of a control system to pass on the read codes for further
processing.
