Licenses

All SIMATIC MV440 stationary code readers are basic units under the terms of "Text-Genius" and "Text-Genius Plus" licenses. The text recognition functionality is enabled by transferring the license key from the USB flash drive on which it is supplied to the MV440 code reader by means of SIMATIC License Manager.

Demo mode

The code readers of the MV440 family allow all licensed function packages to be used in demo mode. The function can be used completely. Only output of the results on the communication channels is suppressed. During demo mode, users can then decide which license is required.

Configuration

Various light sources and lenses are available from the accessories portfolio of the SIMATIC MV440 in order to flexibly adapt image recording to a wide range of conditions. The MV440 readers allow configuration in accordance with the desired fieldbus integration, and starting of text recognition by triggering the reader. The measurement result is output immediately after measurement on the predefined process interface. Special sources of light can be used at any time. Interfacing is described in the chapter on SIMATIC MV440.
