1 Product Overview

1.1 Product Description

The Vision Sensor SIMATIC VS 130 is a data matrix code reader. You can use it to
read the coded labeling of products and then pass the read code to a PLC or a
computer.

Use of the two-dimensional data matrix code is becoming more widespread due to
the following characteristics:

• High information density

• Readability even when damaged or poor "print" quality

• Readability not dependent on orientat io n

SIMATIC VS 130 reads data matrix codes and works with overhead lighting. The
object is lit from above with the supplied ring flash.

Three models of the Vision Sensor SIMATIC VS 130 are available:

• SIMATIC VS 130 for large code areas (order number of the full package:
6GF1 130-1AA)

• SIMATIC VS 130 for small code areas (order number of the full package:
6GF1 130-2AA)

• SIMATIC VS 130 for variable code areas (Order number of the basic package:
6GF1 130-3AA), if you are using C- or CS-mount lenses.

Reading or Verifying Data Matrix Code

The SIMATIC VS 130 can read and, when necessary, verify data matrix codes
(compare the entire code or part of it with a saved code).

The entire read character string or only part of it (in other words, filtered) can be
output. When it is output, further characters can de appended at the start or end as
a prefix or suffix.

The SIMATIC VS 130 can operate both in standalone mode to make good/bad
decisions or as part of a control system to pass on the read codes for further
processing.

Light barrier

Triggering

The objects with the data matrix code are fed past the sensor head with a suitable
conveyor.

They must be located fully within the sensor field of view when being read.
In the training mode, the character content of the code is saved.
In the evaluation mode, the current code is read and, if required, compared with the

saved content of the trained code. Depending on the results of the read operation,
the digital output signals are set: READ (code was localized and decoded),
MATCH (code matches the learned code), N_OK (code was not legible).

The result of the read operation is output via the RS-232 interface or via
PROFIBUS. It is also possible to filter the read character string and to append
additional characters at the start or end.

To read the data matrix code, you must make sure that the code is completely
within in the sensor field of view and clearly visible.

The data matrix code is captured at the trigger time. In this case, you generate an
exact trigger signal at the trigger time, for example with a laser light barrier.

You can check your settings with the setup software of the VS 130.

A PG/PC intended solely for setup is connected via the RS-232 interface. Via
PROFIBUS, there is a connection to a PLC and to another PG/PC.

The VS 130 is controlled via PROFIBUS by the PLC and the codes output on this
PG/PC once again via PROFIBUS. In this situation, it is, of course, also possible to
filter the read character string and to append additional characters at the start or
end (see Section 5.3.4).

System Integration

2.3 Including the Vision Sensor VS 130 in HW Config

The supplied device master data file SIEM8100.GSD contains the PROFIBUS
properties of the VS 130 DP standard slave. If you are using a STEP 7 version
earlier than V5.2 SP1, the Vision Sensor VS 130 is not yet in the modules catalog
in HW Config. In this case, you must add it to the catalog with Options > Install

New GSD... . Remember that the corresponding bitmap file VS1X0__N.DIB must

be in the same folder as the GSD file.
You can also download both files from the Internet at

http://www.ad.siemens.de/csi_e/gsd.

The Vision Sensor VS 130 then appears in the modules catalog under PROFIBUS
DP \ Additional Field Devices \ General \ Machine Vision (see screenshot below).

Vision Sensor VS 130
A5E00199459-01

System Integration

In the configuration example above, the control byte of the VS 130 was set to
output address 0 and the status byte of the VS 130 was set to input address 0 of
the CPU (DP master, slot 1). If these addresses are in the process image of OB1
(process image partition "OB1 PI"), you can work here in OB1 with process image
access (for example "A I0.6" or "S Q0.1"). If this is not the case, you must work
with direct I/O access (for example "L PIB 0").

In the configuration example above, the start of the 16 word long consistent
communication area of the Vision Sensor VS 130 was set to input address 1 and
output address 1 (slot 2). If these addresses are in the process image of OB1
(process image partition "OB1 PI"), you can work in OB1 with process image
access (for example "L IW 2", "T QB 1") without violating the consistency. If, on
the other hand, these addresses are not in the process image of OB1, you must
access the communication area of the VS 130 using SFCs 14 "DPRD_DAT" and
15 "DPWR_DAT" to ensure consistency.

The Vision Sensor VS 130 detects the transmission rate on PROFIBUS
automatically. Even if the transmission rate has changed, this is detected
automatically. The following values possible:

• 9.6 kbps

• 19.2 kbps

• 45.45 kbps

• 93.75 kbps

• 187.5 kbps

• 500 kbps

• 1.5 Mbps

• 3 Mbps

• 6 Mbps

• 12 Mbps

The PROFIBUS address of the VS 130 is set in the Settings > Ports > DP Addr.
menu of the processing unit. Possible values are 1, ... 125.

Changing the PROFIBUS address via PROFIBUS is not supported.
If you assign parameter values to the Vision Sensor VS 130 via PROFIBUS, you

can only set its default values (all zero). If you enter values other than zero here, a
slave diagnostic message is generated ("Invalid DP parameters"). If you are using
an S7-CPU as the DP master, a diagnostic interrupt is triggered (No OB82 start,
because CPU is in STOP): "Faulty module" is entered in the diagnostic buffer and
the "SF" LED is lit.

If problems occur entering the device in HW Config, refer to Chapter 7.

1c Regardless of the arrangement you select, make sure that you maintain the following

clearances (these clearances depend on the type of sensor head) between the end of the
sensor head and the data matrix code you are reading:

• 6GF2 002 8DA: 110 mm clearance

• 6GF2 002 8EA: 85 mm clearance

Caution:
If the code area is relatively large and the sensor is placed close to the code area at a large

angle, the image may be distorted and thus the clarity will be reduced.
2 Install the processing unit so that it is easily accessible for the operator.
3 Install the external triggering unit, for example a light barrier.
4 Start the setup software on the PG/PC, and switch the processing unit to the Adjust mode.

You then see an image as seen by the sensor head.

• Check the trigger signal. Activate the "Triggered only" check box in the "Options" group.
Check whether VS 130 can read the codes with the sensor head in its current position
with the ring flash by activating the "Read" check box in the "Options" group (see Manual,
Section A.7). If necessary, correct the trigger point and/or position of the sensor head.

• Select suitable values for the shutter speed and brightness. The image should not be too
bright.

).

Note

The DC load power supply must meet the following requirements:
Only low voltage less than or equal to 24 V DC safely isolated from the power

supply network must be used for the load current supply. Safe isolation can be
implemented, for example, by adhering to the specifications in

VDE 0100-410 / HD 384-4-41 S2 / IEC 60364-4-41
(functional low voltage with safe isolation) or

VDE 0805 / EN 60950 / IEC 60950
(as safety extra-low voltage SELV) or VDE 0106 Part 101.

Note

The supply chassis of the I/O and CPU must be connected to the supply chassis of
the processing unit.

3.3 Guidelines on Preventing Electrical Interference

To avoid interference, you must shield your system. Low-frequency (LF) and high­frequency (HF) interference signals can result in an incorrect response if the
system is badly grounded or not shielded.

Interference signals can be caused, for example, by switching relays or contactors
(high rates of change in current or voltage, HF interference signals) or by different
ground potentials between two parts of a system (LF interference signals).

Using/Laying Interference-Proof Cable

• The cable to the sensor head and the RS-232 cable must be shielded.
The standard cables supplied by Siemens meet these requirements.

• All plug-in connections must be secured by screws or a locking mechanism.

• Signal lines must not run parallel to power cables. A separate cable channel

must be used with a minimum clearance of 50 cm from power cables.

4 Putting into Operation

You can operate the Vision Sensor SIMATIC VS 130 interactively or con trolled by
signals:

• In this chapter, you will learn about interacti ve oper ati on us ing the operator
control and display field of the processing unit.

• Chapter 6 explains the options open to you with signal-controlled operation.

4.1 Turning on the Device

Turn on the power on the processing unit. The text "SIMATIC VS 130 V ..." and the
current firmware version appear on the display.

The VS 130 then runs through the following tests:

• Test of the sensor head

• Check of the saved settings and code data

• If applicable, test of whether data can be exchanged on PROFIBUS (This test

is performed if you have selected "DP" in one or more of the following menus
on the processing unit: Settings > Ports > Result, Settings > Ports > Trigger,
Settings > Ports > Control).

If there are no errors in the self test, either the RUN menu or the STOP menu is
displayed depending on the status when you last shut down.
