A DataMatrix code is lasered on the lower terminal cover of all 3RM1 motor starters. 
DataMatrix codes are standardized in ISO/IEC 16022. The DataMatrix codes on Siemens 
devices use ECC200 coding for powerful error correction. 
The following device information is encoded in the DataMatrix codes as a bit stream: 
●  Order number 
●  Serial number 
●  MAC address, if applicable 
This information is stored in the following format in the DataMatrix code: 
 
1P  Order number  +  S serial number  
(+ 23S MAC address) 
Data identifier  Net content  Separator   
 
 
 
The information content is displayed without spaces. 
 
This machine-readable information simplifies and accelerates handling of the respective 
devices. 
As well as fast access to the serial numbers of the respective devices for unique 
identification, the DataMatrix codes simplify communication with Siemens Technical Support.
