  • Page 36: Targeting And Decoding

    Targeting and Decoding Targeting and Decoding The SIMATIC MV340 features simple blue targeting LEDs to indicate optimal read range. 1. Hold the imager above the mark and align the blue targeting pattern as shown below. 2. Move the front of the imager steadily downward toward the mark and parallel to the mark surface.

  • Page 37: Scanning Guidelines

    Basic Operations Scanning Guidelines The SIMATIC MV340 makes reading the most difficult direct part marks easy. The following guidelines will help ensure optimal performance: • In the default illumination setup, allow the SIMATIC MV340 to run through its illumination sequences before terminating the read cycle. The SIMATIC MV340 captures several images with each illumination zone, evaluating the optimum settings.

  • Page 38: Decode Zones And Lighting Zones

    Decode Zones and Lighting Zones Decode Zones and Lighting Zones The following chart provides a guideline for overall read performance based on mark size. Actual range for direct part marks will vary based on mark parameters and the illumination zone required for readings. The chart below is intended as a guideline.

  • Page 41: Illumination System

    Basic Operations Illumination System The SIMATIC MV340 incorporates a multi-axis illumination system, designed to ensure reliable decoding of the toughest direct part marks. Through an advanced combination of low angle (dark field) and multi-colored dome (bright field) illumination techniques, the SIMATIC MV340 provides even illumination of flat, shiny surfaces, enhancing embossed features, or differentiating features on curved surfaces.
  • Page 42 Illumination System Dome Illumination Dome illumination provides diffused, uniform light. The large, solid angle of illumination supports imaging of shiny flat surfaces or curved surfaces. This zone is useful on specular and non-specular surfaces, ideal for de-emphasizing surface texture and elevation (curves).

  • Page 43: Illumination Sequence

    Just point and shoot to read most marks. This is achieved by combining the illumination system with Siemens’s advanced decode algorithms. The SIMATIC MV340 automatically cycles through a default combination of illumination zones each time the user pulls the trigger to decode a mark.
