1.7 DataMatrix code
A DataMatrix code is lasered onto the lower terminal cover of all 3SK1-series safety relays.
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:
• Article number (MLFB)
• Serial number
• MAC address, if applicable
This information is stored in the following format in the DataMatrix code:
1P Article number + S serial number
(+ 23S MAC address)
Data identier Net content Separator
Note
The information content is displayed without spaces.
This machine-readable information simplies and accelerates handling of the respective devices.
As well as fast access to the serial numbers of the respective devices for unique identication, the
DataMatrix codes simplify communication with Siemens Technical Support.
