2 Installation
Installing SIMATIC MV420/SIMATIC MV440
These readers are compact standalone devices that, when mounted in a suitable location, need only be equipped with a
lens, a power supply cable, and a communications link. The SIMATIC MV440 reader has four threaded holes
(SIMATIC MV420: two threaded holes) each on the front and back, which allows flexible mounting.
Installing the reader with protective lens housing
To provide lighting when reading the codes, you have several options available. The simplest and most economical option in
terms of space is the ring light integrated in the lens protective housing.

Step 1
Connect the reader and PC using an Ethernet cable
Connect the reader directly to your PC/programming device over an Ethernet cable.
Note
You do not need a crossover cable because the reader is capable of autocrossing and automatically detects the type of
cable you are using.
Step 2
Turn the reader on
Turn on the power supply for the reader. The reader is supplied with power either via a connected ASM cable or via the
power IO RS232 cable or PoE cable; see also chapter Connecting (Page 4).
● Each time it is started, the reader runs a self-test which is indicated by the Power LED flashing.
● After a period of between several seconds and 2 minutes, the self-test is completed and the Power LED lights up
permanently in green. The reader is ready for operation
Step 3
Configure the Ethernet connection between the reader and PC
1. Start the Primary Setup Tool (Start menu ➜ Start ➜ SIMATIC ➜ Primary Setup Tool ➜ Primary Setup Tool).
2. Start the network browsing function in the PST menu (Network ➜ Browse).
3. Select the displayed device and double-click on it.
4. Clicking on the displayed Ethernet interface displays the properties of the interface.

SIMATIC MV420/SIMATIC MV440

5. Select "Assign IP parameters" and enter the values for the IP address and subnet mask as shown below.
Note
IP address 192.168.100.100
● Using the IP address 192.168.100.100, the reader is configured as a DHCP server at the same time, which means
that a connected PC can obtain an IP address from the reader. By manually assigning addresses that differ from this
IP address and that are not 0.0.0.1, you configure a static IP address for the reader. PCs operated in a network are
usually configured as DHCP clients and obtain their IP addresses from a server.
● If your PC network is configured differently or you do not know how your PC is configured, check with your system
administrator.
6. Now select the MV440 or MV420 module again and then load the configuration on the reader by clicking the "Download"
menu command in the "Module" menu

SIMATIC MV420/SIMATIC MV440
A5E02370910-06, 04/2013 11
7. Confirm the following message by clicking the "Yes" button.
Result
The reader now has the manually assigned IP address 192.168.0.34 and can be reached under this address by your PC.
Note
Depending on the mode being used, you may need to restart the reader by turning the power off and on again.
Step 4
Starting the user interface
1. Open Internet Explorer and enter the IP address of the reader in the address bar.
2. Confirm with the Enter key.
The home page of the reader is loaded.
3. Now click on the image of the reader or the "Adjustment " menu command.
The user interface of the reader opens after a short loading time.

SIMATIC MV420/SIMATIC MV440
12 A5E02370910-06, 04/2013
4. This is followed by the Adjustment page of the user interface in the Internet Explorer.
Result
● You are now connected to the reader and can operate it via the user interface.
● You can now perform the next step and adjust the reader and display the first read results.
● You can also get further support by clicking the "?" button at the top right. This opens the online help.

SIMATIC MV420/SIMATIC MV440
A5E02370910-06, 04/2013 13
Step 5
Aligning the reader
Before you put the reader into productive operation, you must first align it correctly. You do this with the user interface by
selecting the "Adjust sensor" menu command. The dialog window shows you an image as seen by the reader.
Note
Focusing the image (SIMATIC MV440 only)
To be able to focus the image, you may need to loosen the fixing screws on the lenses.
Note
Access to online help via the "?" button
Each screen of the setup support has a "?" button at the top right with which you can open the online help at any time. The
help text of the online help relevant to the currently displayed dialog then opens.
1. Position the reader so that the code to be read appears in the center of the image and is focused sharply.
The reader automatically attempts to recognize a data matrix code and decode it. You can recognize a successful read
by the green frame around the code. The more precise the triggering and the greater the contrast in the code, the higher
the read reliability will be.

SIMATIC MV420/SIMATIC MV440
14 A5E02370910-06, 04/2013
2. If necessary, correct these settings:
–The exposure settings
–If you wish to read an EAN13 code instead of a data matrix code, for example, press the button "Recognize code".
The reader starts code type recognition and remembers the code type found for later read processes.
–In order to find the correct image acquisition time for moved objects, correct the trigger settings.
–To rectify strong irregularities through the optics (rarely necessary), correct the distortion.
Note
If exposure = Auto, the code must be completely in the image after the triggering until the automatic exposure is
completed (approximate value: 50 to 100 ms).
3. If you make modifications, save your new settings by clicking the "Apply" button.
Result
You have successfully commissioned the reader. You can now read codes for your application. You can now make specific
settings and save them under individual programs.
