Features:
- A 640 x 480 global-shutter CCD captures the complete image before code or text processing begins.
- C-mount optics and matched lighting adjust the field of view, working distance and mark visibility.
- Ethernet, serial and configurable digital I/O separate data exchange from machine triggering and illumination timing.
The MV440 SR reads supported 1D and 2D codes and can use licensed text-recognition and verification functions.
A dedicated trigger input starts image capture while the strobe output synchronizes an external light source.
Five LEDs provide local status information for the reader and its active connections.
The Siemens 6GF3440-1CD10 SIMATIC MV440 SR Optical Code Reader may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Forming a readable image before decoding
- Global shutter: The CCD exposes the complete frame at one instant instead of building it line by line.
- Exposure control: Manual or automatic timing balances available light against motion and mark contrast.
- Optical selection: C-mount lenses and accessories set the field of view for the required code size and distance.
- Lighting path: Integrated or external illumination must make the marked surface visible without glare or shadow loss.
Separating network, serial and machine signals
- Ethernet link: The M12 D-coded port carries industrial network data and supports PoE.
- Serial equipment: RS422 and RS232 use separate connectors for devices that do not exchange data through Ethernet.
- Power connector: The dedicated M16 supply connection accepts the reader's 24 V DC feed.
- Machine I/O: A second M16 connection carries trigger, strobe and configurable digital-channel signals.
Coordinating capture with the moving process
- Trigger edge: The high-speed input starts one defined capture event from the machine signal.
- Strobe output: The fast output switches external lighting in time with that exposure.
- Channel direction: Four additional isolated channels can be assigned as inputs or outputs for the installation.
- Output boundary: Configured outputs are short-circuit protected and limited to the documented load current.
Matching recognition functions to the mark
- Linear codes: The reader processes the enabled 1D symbologies from the captured image.
- Matrix codes: Supported 2D formats are decoded from the same optical path after focus and exposure are established.
- Text reading: OCR-A, Semifont M13 and similar fonts require the appropriate recognition function and image quality.
- Verification mode: Enabled grading standards evaluate mark quality separately from simple decoding success.
