Overview
The Siemens Simatic MV440 SR optical code reader (6GF3440-1CD10) is a fixed-mount optical identification device engineered for automated barcode and 2D code reading in manufacturing and logistics environments. With 640×480 pixel resolution, it supports 1D/2D code reading, text recognition, and object detection with variable field of view and distance. This reader integrates seamlessly into Siemens automation architectures and provides fast, accurate data capture for production tracking and quality control workflows.
Key Features
- High-resolution imaging: 640×480 pixel resolution enables reliable code capture across variable distances
- Multi-code support: Reads 1D codes (Int. 2/5, Code 128, Code 93, Code 39, Code 32, EAN 13, EAN 8, UPC-A, UPC-E, GS1, Pharmacode, Postnet) and 2D codes (DMC, dot code, PDF417, QR, Vericode)
- Power over Ethernet (PoE): PoE capability reduces installation complexity in networked environments
- Industrial-grade protection: IP67 rating with optional IP67 (with 6GF3440-8AC1X) housing for washdown and dusty applications
- Text recognition (OCR): OCR-A and Semifont M13 text recognition capability for label and marking inspection
- Multiple communication protocols: Ethernet, PROFINET IO, RS-422, and RS-232 communication capability
