DataMatrix code
A DataMatrix code is lasered onto the lower terminal cover of all devices of this series.
DataMatrix codes are standardized in ISO/IEC 16022. The DataMatrix codes on Siemens
devices use ECC200 coding.
The following device information is encoded in the DataMatrix codes as a bit stream:
● Article number
● Serial number
This information is stored in the following format in the DataMatrix code:
Data identifier
Note
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.
SIEMENS Industry Support App
DataMatrix codes primarily enable extremely fast and convenient access to all device-
specific information relating to an article number in the SIEMENS Service&Support Portal
(http://support.automation.siemens.com), such as operating instructions, manuals, data
sheets, FAQs, etc.
We provide the SIEMENS Industry Support app free of charge for this purpose and it can be
used on most commercially available smart phones and tablets.
The SIEMENS Industry Support app is available for iOS and Android-based devices and can
