System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 6GF1018-3BA01 sits between the Vericode optical reading head and the host SIMATIC controller. The reading head captures the 2D matrix code image; the evaluation unit decodes the symbology, validates the read result, and transmits structured data to the PLC or higher-level system via the configured interface. This architecture offloads decode computation from the PLC, preserving controller cycle time for process logic.
Typical signal flow: Vericode Read Head → 6GF1018-3BA01 Evaluation Unit → SIMATIC S7 PLC → MES / ERP
