Note This button is enabled only when there is already an image in the EPROM. Delete entries -- -- When you click on this button, you delete all diagnostics entries stored in the EPROM. Note This button is enabled only when there are diagnostics entries in the EPROM. Persistent storage of a bad image While a bad image is being stored in the EPROM, it remains possible to operate the reader and to control it from an automation system. This is, however, delayed since the storage of image data in read-only memory can take a relatively long time. Persistent storage of diagnostics entries The following restrictions apply to storing diagnostics entries in the EPROM: The processing time of the currently acquired code increases by the time required to store the diagnostics entries. The time required to store a diagnostics entry in the EPROM is as follows: - At an ambient temperature of 25 C approximately 1 ms. - At an ambient temperature of 50 C approximately 32 ms. Operating the reader and controlling it from an automation system are possible, however input is delayed. Note Ethernet or PROFINET connection: longer history, The storage times shown above apply only when there is no connection over Ethernet or PROFINET. If there is such a connection, the specified time increases and increases more the higher the network load.

Link up to five programs to a processing sequence Specify special verification settings Make CONNECT and READ settings Program sequence A program sequence links one to five programs to a processing sequence. You hereby have some degree of freedom in adapting this function optimally to your application. Note Restriction for combination of "Program sequence" and "Multicode" Please note the following restriction with the combination of "Program sequence" and "Multicode" ("Program > Decoder > Multicode"): The processing of program sequences is terminated after the first successfully processed program. You cannot differentiate between two programs with a different number of 1D/2D codes of the same code type. Example * Program 1: Saved with two codes of the type "DMC" * Program 2: Saved with four codes of the type "DMC" * Program sequence 1: Contains program 1 and 2 * Acquired image contains four codes of the type "DMC". Processing begins with program 1 which has an OK result because it was possible to decode two codes. Processing is stopped and the result output.

You use the following parameters to specify how images are acquired and with which saved programs they will be processed. * Disabled: Mode in which processing is performed with only one saved program at each trigger. * First read result: The programs contained in the program sequence are processed one after the other. Following the first successful processing procedure, processing is stopped and the result is output. * Best read result: The programs contained in the program sequence are processed one after the other. All successful processing procedures are compared with each other. Once all processing procedures are completed, the best read result is output. * All read results: All programs contained in the program sequence are processed one after the other. The result is output for each program. First read result Overall quality When selecting result output: "Best read result", set the comparison criterion. The "Quality" of a result is evaluated based on the comparison criterion. Note Only the selection "Overall quality" is valid for all code types and verification standards. If you want to use a different quality criterion, make sure that this criterion is calculated with the selected settings. You can find the supported qualities according to verification standard at Program format text (Page 70). If a result is compared in processing mode that does not provide the selected quality, the setting changes to the overall quality, which can lead to unexpected results. SIMATIC MV500 Operating Manual, 06/2018, C79000-G8976-C495-01 121 Settings 5.2 Options Relationships and dependencies of the parameters Table 5- 22 Relationships and dependencies of the parameters Menu command or parameter Dependency Description Program sequence * Image acquisition > Mode If you enable program sequence "Use", the image acquisition control in the template is set to "Individual trigger". Programs that have been saved already and are marked as "non-executable" or that do not use "Individual trigger" as the image acquisition control are deleted following a prompt for confirmation. Program sequence * Image acquisition > Image buffer During activation of the "Use" program sequence, the program with the lowest program number determines the number of used image buffers. This number is used for each program in the sequence. Before processing starts, check if the number of available image buffers is sufficient. Example: Three programs in the sequence; first program uses 10 image buffers. 3 x 10 image buffers are therefore required. The number of image buffers available for the processing can be increased, if necessary, by reducing the buffer size of the diagnostic image memory ("Options > Diagnostics & monitoring > Logging > Image > Buffer size"). Program sequence with result output "First read result" or "Best read result" To obtain reproducible results, the programs contained in the program sequence must have the same structure. If the programs contain a different number of decoder steps or codes for Multicode, for example, you will get different read results. You cannot assign these different read results. Example Program 1: One decoder step, Multicode, two codes of type DMC are to be read. Program 2: One decoder step, Multicode, four codes of type DMC. Program sequence 1: Contains program 1 and 2; "First read result" or "Best read result" is to be output. SIMATIC MV500 122 Operating Manual, 06/2018, C79000-G8976-C495-01 Settings 5.2 Options In the case of result output "First read result": Acquired image contains four codes of the type DMC. Processing begins with program 1 which has an OK result because it was possible to decode two codes. Processing is stopped and the result output. In the case of result output "Best read result": Acquired image contains four codes of the type DMC. If program 1 delivers the higher quality, a result with two DMCs is output, even though four DMCs were in the image and were read.
