Traceability of the delivery of goods
To quickly inspect deliveries in neutral packaging, they are to be identified

on a display via the code on the packaging.
Display of the delivery content
In addition, wireless use of the code scanner is to be made possible for

bulky goods. The data is to be temporarily buffered in the code scanner.
After reconnecting the code scanner to the PLC, all scanned data is to be
transferred to the controller and to the database.
Wireless scanning
V1.0 16.11.2007 6/32

Fields of application
This configuration is particularly suitable for:
The use of code readers in harsh industrial environments
In classic track & trace applications
In fields of applications in which, compared to a classic PC, costs can
be saved by using S7-200 and text display
Applications requiring the local automation of additional tasks (e.g.,
conveyor belt)
Applications with central data management and distributed scanner
stations
Typical areas of application

The handheld code readers can be used in industrial and commercial
applications in which single parts have to be identified/localized, in which
the parts can be identified by a Data Matrix code or a bar code and in which
a handheld code reader to be flexibly positioned is required.
SIMATIC HawkEye 40 and 45

Applications in which paper tags are used (high-contrast templates)

SIMATIC HawkEye 40T and 45T
Applications in which low-contrast and/or damaged Direct Part Mark codes
or code templates have to be read
Automotive industry:
For example, identification of automotive power train components
(cylinder heads, motor units, exhaust components, etc.)
Aerospace industry:
E.g., codes on turbine buckets
Medical technology:
For example, laser marks on different medical device components and
enclosures
Electronics industry:
For example, laser marks on hard disks and other components
Semiconductors:
E.g., laser marks on packaged semiconductor devices, heat sinks or
heat spreaders
V1.0 16.11.2007 8/32

Benefits
Cost savings by using existing automation equipment or equipment that
is necessary anyway to additionally apply the code reading applications.
Option of data preprocessing in the controller, which enables the user to
reduce the communication load to the database.
The controller can be the access point to the automation network of the
production. This allows, for instance, for the code reader to be
integrated into the production network (for example, Profibus or
AS-Interface).
Compared to classical PC solutions, the S7-200 automation controller has
the following remarkable features:
For low requirements, the classic PC for code reading applications can
be replaced by a more cost-effective S7-200.
Higher fault tolerance of the automation controller.
Automatic restart and secure data management of the automation
controllers in the event of a power failure.

The S7-200 does not require maintenance with regard to virus scanners
and firewall.

Principle of Operation
4 Principle of Operation
This chapter conveys the basic principle of operation of the Micro
Automation Set.
Micro Automation Set 27 offers two different modes:
Single Scanning (with cable connection)
Buffered Scanning, wireless scanning
4.1 Single Scanning
To provide a rough overview, a simplified principle of operation of this mode

is shown below.

1. The Data Matrix code is scanned.
2. The code reader captures the image and decodes the information and
outputs this information at the serial interface of the reader.
3. The S7-200 collects the information and buffers/processes it.
4. Using the CP 243-1, the S7-200 provides the information to the PC
database via Industrial Ethernet and PC-Access, the OPC server.
5. The PC searches the database for scanned information and returns the
product designation to the controller as plain text. In addition, the flow of
goods is archived.
6. The text display reads the scanned product ID and the product
designation communicated by the database from the controller.
V1.0 16.11.2007 12/32

4.1.1 Scanning the Data Matrix code
The optical detection of the Data Matrix code corresponds to the basic
method of functioning of a camera.
To enable scanning also for difficult lighting conditions, the Data Matrix
code is illuminated by means of LEDs.
Scanning the Data Matrix code requires that the laser beam of the decoder
be aligned to the center of the Data Matrix code. The laser beam appears
when pressing the button on the HawkEye.
4.1.2 Decoding and output of the Data Matrix code
The reader analyzes the matrix by means of the specification for Data
Matrix codes and converts the information to an ASCII string.
Figure 4-2
12345678
The start of the ASCII string with the data is delimited with a comma and
the end of the string is delimited with a <CR><LF> (carriage return and line
feed).
Figure 4-3
12345678 ,12345678<CR><LF>
The data is sent via the serial interface.
4.1.3 Receiving and processing information
By the sample program, the S7-200 is configured in such a way that all
data (located between a comma and a <CR>) is received.
The actual string is extracted, stored in the memory area and thus provided
to the database.
Figure 4-4
,12345678<CR><LF> VB300 12345678
The S7-200 now waits for the database to assign the string and to provide it
to the S7-200 as plain text.
V1.0 16.11.2007 13/32

4.1.4 Information on the text display
The TD 400C is used for displaying selected S7-200 data. In this mode
(Single Scanning), the last string sent to the database and the received
associated plain text are displayed.
4.1.5 Data exchange between PC database and S7-200
Aside from the controller, two products are involved in the data exchange
between PC world and automation world:
CP 243-1 communications processor for the connection to Industrial
Ethernet
PC-Access OPC server for S7-200
Ethernet CP
The CP 243-1 is used to connect the S7-200 to Industrial Ethernet. The
CP 243-1 supports TCP/IP and enables communication with the PC.
OPC server and database

The OPC server uses the Ethernet connection and can access the data of
the automation controller. The data in turn is forwarded to an OPC client
(MS Access database).

In addition to the string with the data, the database also evaluates a
communication interface (consisting of two bytes). If the New String
command and Search in Database are detected here, the string is read
from the OPC server.

4.1.6 Searching the database
After detecting the Read command of the communication interface, the

database reads the string and searches for it in the database. If the string is
found, the product designation is written to the OPC server.

4.1.7 Display of the product designation on the TD 400C text display
By updating the product designation in the OPC server, the product

designation is available in the data block of the S7-200.
The text display obtains the product designation for display also from the
data block and thus provides the current product designation.

4.2 Wireless scanning into the HawkEye HK 40 buffer
When using an accumulator, the handheld reader also enables wireless

scanning into a buffer.
This means that the scanner stores all data internally. When a cable
connection is detected, the data is sent and cleared from the buffer.
The following section provides a simplified description of this step.

1. The Data Matrix code is scanned. (The cable is removed)
2. The code reader captures the image and decodes the information and
stores the data in the internal buffer.
3. When connecting the code reader to the CPU 224XP, all data is read
from the internal buffer and output via the serial interface.
4. The S7-200 collects the information and buffers/processes it.
5. The text display displays information such as the last scanned product ID
and the number of received IDs.
6. Using the CP 243-1, the S7-200 provides the scanned information to the
PC database via Industrial Ethernet and PC-Access (OPC server).
7. The product ID is archived in the database.

4.2.1 Scanning the Data Matrix code
See chapter 4.1.1
4.2.2 Decoding and output of the Data Matrix code
See chapter 4.1.2

However, the data is not transferred to the controller directly after scanning,
but written to the internal buffer of the HawkEye HE 40.
4.2.3 Receiving and processing information
See chapter 4.1.3

When the HawkEye HE 40 is connected to the controller, all buffered data
is transferred. The S7-200 waits until all scanned strings are assigned in
the database and until the stored plain text is sent back to the S7-200.
4.2.4 Information on the text display
The TD 400C is used for displaying selected S7-200 data. In this mode
(Wireless Scanning), the number of strings to be sent to the database is

displayed.
4.2.5 Communication to the database
See chapter 4.1.5
4.2.6 Archiving in the database
The data in the database is only archived. In this mode, it is not necessary
to display the product designation on the display as plain text.
