1-1 Confirming the System Configuration
This product is a multicode reader that captures images of 1D symbols (barcodes) and 2D Symbols
and reads and processes their embedded data.
In a system configuration in which it is connected to a PLC, PC, or other external device, serial
commands can be received from, and code reading results can be output to the external device.
1-1-1 V430 Series System Configuration
The V430-F can be used in the following types of system configurations.
Connection using Parallel Interface
Trigger inputs and OK/NG Judgement result outputs are received and sent over I/O cable.

Connecting over Ethernet (EtherNet/IP, Serial (TCP), PROFINET)
Establish network connections via an Ethernet cable to input triggers and communication commands
and to output reading results (judgment results and decoded content). Triggers can also be input over
parallel. Using the data link function for each network (excluding Serial), data transfer can be done
periodically between the reader and the external device.

Additional Information
The cable to use for Serial (RS-232C) communication is RS-232C- I/O 2-way cable (V430-
W2-3M) specifically for the V430. Please use this cable when connecting to a PC by RS-232C.
For wiring different from that of IBM compatible PC, either make your own convertor cable, or
use the rose wire cable type (V430-W8 Series) with its RxD signal and TxD signal converted.

Device
This section gives the communications specifications, describes the control methods that you can use
for communications, and describes the settings that are required before starting communications with
an external device.
1-2-1 Basic Control Operations of the Reader
The following figure shows basic communications between an external device and the reader and the
flow of signals and data.
Trigger sensor
PLC PLC
The read results are output.
・Status signals
・Read character string output
・Additional information
（read time, quality grade and so on）
Triggers and other
control commands
are input.
Reader
The following methods can be used to exchange data between an external device and the reader.
Commands that can be input to the reader from an external device
Type Description
Control
Commands
Control Signals
(Input Signals)
Reading is executed when a trigger (TRIG signal: ON) is input.
Communication
Command Input
Various commands can be executed, such as a Read commands (trigger)
and commands to change settings.
The communication commands differ depending on the communications
protocol that you use.
Data output from the reader to an external device
Type Description
Status Signals When the reader confirms the input of a control signal or communication
command and starts the reading process, it notifies the external device of
its status (by signals such as InReadCycle, etc.) and its judgement with
the OK/NG Judgment signal.
Read Character String Output You can output the character string read from barcodes, or 2D Codes
Additional Information Additional data such as Symbol Quality grade and code position
coordinates can be output.
For these items to be appended to the output, they must be setup in
advance in the detailed settings menu.

1-2-2 Applicable Communications Protocols for the V430-F Series
The V430-F Series can be controlled from a PLC, computer, or other external device using various
communication protocols.
The following types of communication protocols can be used for controlling the V430-F Series from an
external device.

Data Sharing EtherNet/IP This is an open
communications protocol. Tag
Data Links are used for
communication with the reader.
On the PLC, structured
variables are created that
correspond to the control
signals, Command/Response
data, and Read data. These
variables are then used as I/O
Tag Data Links to exchange
data between the PLC and the
reader.
× ○ ×
PROFINET This is an open
communications protocol.
Software-based RT (Real-time)
communications, (SRT) is used
for communication with the
reader. The control signals,
Command Area/Response
Area, and area to store Read
result data are assigned in the
I/O memory of the PLC, and
data is exchanged cyclically
between the PLC and the
reader.
