Fast commissioning
3 Fast commissioning
Below you will find a short description for the initial commissioning of the BCL208i. Detailed explanations
for all listed points can be found throughout these operating instructions.
3.1 Mounting
The bar code reader can be mounted in the following ways:
• Mounting with four M4x5 screws on the rear side of the housing.
• Mounting with mounting devices on the fastening groove on one side of the housing.
3.2 Selecting a mounting location
In order to select the right mounting location, several factors must be considered:
• Size, orientation, and position tolerance of the bar codes on the objects to be scanned.
• The reading field of the bar code reader in relation to the bar code module width.
• The resulting minimum and maximum reading distance from the respective reading field with the respective module width (see chapter 13.2 "Reading fields").
• alignment of the bar code reader for avoiding reflections.
• Distance between bar code reader and host system with respect to the interface.
• The correct time for data output. The bar code reader should be positioned in such a way that, taking
into consideration the time required for data processing and the conveyor belt speed, there is sufficient
time to e.g. initiate sorting operations on the basis of the read data.
• The display elements such as LEDs should be highly visible.
• For configuring and commissioning with the webConfig tool, the HOST interface should be easily accessible.
For further information, see see chapter 5 "Mounting" and see chapter 6 "Electrical connection".
The best read results are obtained if the following prerequisites are fulfilled:
• The reading distance lies in the middle area of the reading field.
• There is no direct sunlight and protect against ambient light effects.
• The bar code labels are of good print quality and have good contrast ratios.
• You are not using high-glossy labels.
• The bar code is moved past with an angle of inclination of ±10°…15° to vertical.
NOTICE
Avoid direct reflection of the laser beam!
The beam on the bar code reader is emitted at 105° to the housing base. An angle of incidence
of 15° of the laser to the label has already been integrated in the deflecting mirror so that the bar
code reader can be installed parallel to the bar code (rear housing wall).
3.3 Electrical connection
The bar code reader is equipped with two connection cables, each with an M12 connector.
• PWR/SWIO: M12 connection for supply voltage and switching input/output, 5-pin, A-coded, cable
length 0.9m (unshielded)
• HOST: M12 connection for Ethernet, 4-pin, D-coded, cable length 0.7m (shielded)

Details on the connectors see chapter 6 "Electrical connection".
3.4 Preparatory settings
Ä Connect the +18…30 VDC supply voltage (typically +24VDC).
ð The bar code reader starts up.
First, you must now set the communication parameters of the BCL208i. Make the necessary settings via
the webConfig tool, see chapter 8 "Starting up the device - Configuration".
3.4.1
Manually setting the IP address
Set the IP manually if your system does not include a DHCP server or if the IP addresses of the devices
are to be set permanently.
Ä Have the network administrator specify the data for IP address, net mask and gateway address of the
BCL208i.
Ä Set the values on the BCL208i.
In the webConfig tool:
Configuration > Communication > Ethernet interface
NOTICE
Ä After making the setting via the webConfig tool, restart the BCL208i.
ð The set IP address is only accepted and active after a restart.

3.4.2
3.4.3
Automatically setting the IP address
Set the IP address automatically if a DHCP server assigns the IP addresses in the system.
Ä Activate the DHCP Client mode in the BCL208i.
In the webConfig tool:
Configuration > Communication > Ethernet interface
Ä Activate the DHCP=ON setting there.
Ethernet host communication
You can configure the connections to an external host system via the Ethernet host communication.
You can use both the UDP protocol as well as the TCP/IP protocol – in either client or in server mode. Both
protocols can be activated simultaneously and used in parallel.
• The connection-free UDP protocol is used primarily to transfer process data to the host (monitor operation).
• The connection-oriented TCP/IP protocol can also be used to transfer commands from the host to the
device. With this connection, the data is backed up by the TCP/IP protocol itself.
• If you would like to use the TCP/IP protocol, you must also define whether the device is to operate as a
TCP client or as a TCP server.
UDP
The device requires from the user the IP address and the port number of the communication partner. In the
same way, the host system (PC/control) also requires the set IP address of the device and the selected
port number. By assigning these parameters, a socket is formed via which the data can be sent and received.
Ä Activate the UDP protocol.
Ä Set the following values:
ð IP address of the communication partner
ð Port number of the communication partner
The corresponding adjustment options can be found in the webConfig tool:
Configuration > Control > Host > Ethernet > UDP
TCP/IP
Ä Activate the TCP/IP protocol.
Ä Set the TCP/IP mode of the device.
ð In TCP client mode, the device actively establishes the connection to the superior host system, e.g.,
PC/control as server. The device requires from the user the IP address of the server (host system)
and the port number on which the server (host system) accepts a connection. In this case, the device determines when and with whom a connection is established.
ð In TCP server mode, the superior host system (PC/control) actively establishes the connection and
the connected device waits for the connection to be set up.
The TCP/IP stack must be informed by the user as to the local port of the device (port number) on
which connection requests from a client application (host system) are to be received.
If there is a connection request and a connection is established by the superior host system (PC/
control as client), the device – in server mode – accepts the connection. Data can then be sent and
received.
Ä With a device as TCP client, set the following values:
ð IP address of the TCP server, normally the IP address of the control or the host computer
ð Port number of the TCP server
ð Timeout for the wait time for an answer from the server
ð Repetition time for renewed communication attempt following a timeout
Ä With a device as TCP server, set the following values:
ð Port number for the communication of the device with the TCP clients
The corresponding adjustment options can be found in the webConfig tool:
Configuration > Control > Host > Ethernet > TCP/IP

Operating the bar code reader
After connecting a supply voltage of +18…30VDC to the switching input, a read process is activated. In
the standard setting, all common code types for decoding are released. Only the 2/5Interleaved code type
is limited to 10 digits of code content.
If a code is moved through the reading field, the code content is decoded and forwarded to the superior
system (PLC/PC) via Ethernet.
3.7 Bar code reading
Ä Test the device with the following bar code in format 2/5 Interleaved. The bar code module here is 0.5.
The PWR LED goes off briefly and then turns green again. Simultaneously, the read information is forwarded to the superior system (PLC/PC) via the Ethernet.
Ä Check the incoming data of the bar code information.
Alternatively, you can use a switching input for read activation (switching signal of a photoelectric sensor or
24 V DC switching signal).

use of identification systems which function without connection unit or gateways. The integrated fieldbus interface considerably simplifies handling. The Plug-and-Play concept enables easy networking and very
simple commissioning: Directly connect the respective fieldbus and all configuration is performed with no
additional software.
CRT decoder
For decoding bar codes, the bar code readers of the BCL200i series make available the proven CRT decoder with code reconstruction technology.
The proven code reconstruction technology (CRT) enables bar code readers of the BCL200i series to read
bar codes with a small bar height, as well as bar codes with a damaged or soiled print image.
With the aid of the CRT decoder, bar codes can also be read without problem in other demanding situations, such as with a large tilt angle (azimuth angle or even angle of rotation).

Device description
Fig.4.1: Possible bar code orientation
Configuration
Configuration of the BCL208i usually takes place via the HOST interface using the integrated webConfig
tool. Alternatively, the bar code readers can be configured via the host/service interface using configuration
commands.
The bar code reader needs a suitable activation to start a read process as soon as an object is in the reading field. This opens a time window ("reading gate") in the bar code reader for the read process during
which the bar code reader has time to detect and decode a bar code.
In the basic setting, triggering takes place through an external reading cycle signal. Alternative activation
options include online commands via the host interface and the autoReflAct function.
Through the read operation, the bar code reader collects additional useful pieces of data for diagnostics
which can also be transmitted to the host. The quality of the read operation can be inspected using the
alignment mode which is integrated in the webConfig tool.

4.5 Reading techniques
4.5.1
Line scanner (single line)
The scan line scans the label. Due to the optical opening angle, the reading field width is dependent on the
read distance. Through the movement of the object, the entire bar code is automatically transported
through the scan line.
The integrated code reconstruction technology permits twisting of the bar code (tilt angle) within certain limits. These are dependent on the transport speed, the scanning rate of the scanner and the bar code properties.
Areas of application of the line scanner
• With the bars of the bar code arranged lengthwise with respect to the conveying direction ("ladder arrangement")
• With bar codes having very short bar lengths
• When the ladder code is turned out of the vertical position (tilt angle)
Fig.4.4: Deflection principle for the line scanner
Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG BCL 208i 18
Page 19
Device description
4.5.2
Raster scanner (raster line)
Multiple scan lines scan the label. Due to the optical opening angle, the reading field width is dependent on
the read distance. Provided the code is located in the reading field, it can be read during standstill. If the
code moves through the reading field, it is scanned by multiple scan lines.
The integrated code reconstruction technology permits twisting of the bar code (tilt angle) within certain limits. These are dependent on the transport speed, the scanning rate of the scanner and the bar code properties. In most cases, everywhere a line scanner is used, a raster scanner can be used.
Areas of application of the raster scanner
• With the bars of the bar code arranged perpendicular with respect to the conveying direction ("picket
fence arrangement")
• With bar codes with low height displacement
• With very glossy bar codes
NOTICE
There may not be two or more bar codes in the raster detection range simultaneously.
Fig.4.5: Deflection principle for the raster scanner
4.6 Fieldbus systems
Various product variants of the BCL200i series are available for connecting to different fieldbus systems
such as PROFINET, Ethernet, and EtherNet/IP.
4.6.1
Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG BCL 208i 19

4.7 autoReflAct
autoReflAct stands for automatic Reflector Activation and permits an activation without additional sensors.
This is achieved by directing the scanner with reduced scanning beam towards a reflector mounted behind
the conveyor path.
NOTICE
Suitable reflectors are available, see chapter 14.5 "Accessories – Reflectors and reflective
tapes".

Page 21
Device description
As long as the scanner is targeted at the reflector, the reading gate remains closed. If, however, the reflector is blocked by an object such as a container with a bar code label, the scanner activates the read procedure, and the label on the container is read. When the path from the scanner to the reflector has cleared,
the read procedure has completed and the scanning beam is reduced and again directed onto the reflector.
The reading gate is closed.
Fig.4.7: Reflector arrangement for autoReflAct
The autoReflAct function uses the scanning beam to simulate a photoelectric sensor and thus permits an
activation without additional sensors.
4.8 Reference codes
The bar code reader offers the possibility of storing one or two reference codes.
It is possible to store the reference codes via the webConfig tool or via online commands.
The bar code reader can compare read bar codes with one and/or both reference codes and execute userconfigurable functions depending on the comparison result.
4.9 autoConfig
With the autoConfig function, the bar code reader offers an extremely simple and convenient configuration
option to users who only want to read one code type (symbology) with one number of digits at a time.
After starting the autoConfig function via the switching input or from a superior control, it is sufficient to position a bar code label with the desired code type and number of digits in the reading field of the bar code
reader.
Afterward, bar codes with the same code type and number of digits are recognized and decoded.

5.3 Selecting a mounting location
NOTICE
The size of the bar code module influences the maximum reading distance and the width of the
reading field.
Ä When selecting a mounting location and/or the bar code label, take into account the different
reading characteristics of the bar code reader with various bar code modules.
NOTICE
Observe when choosing the mounting location!
Ä Maintain the permissible environmental conditions (humidity, temperature).
Ä Avoid possible soiling of the reading window due to liquids, abrasion by boxes, or packaging
material residues.
Ä Ensure that there is the lowest possible chance of damage to the bar code reader by me-
chanical collision or jammed parts.
Ä Avoid possible ambient light influence (no direct sunlight).
In order to select the right mounting location, several factors must be considered:
• Size, orientation, and position tolerance of the bar codes on the objects to be scanned.
• The reading field of the bar code reader in relation to the bar code module width.
• The resulting minimum and maximum reading distance from the respective reading field with the respective module width (see chapter 13.2 "Reading fields").
• alignment of the bar code reader for avoiding reflections.
• Distance between bar code reader and host system with respect to the interface.
• The correct time for data output. The bar code reader should be positioned in such a way that, taking
into consideration the time required for data processing and the conveyor belt speed, there is sufficient
time to e.g. initiate sorting operations on the basis of the read data.
• The display elements such as LEDs should be highly visible.
• For configuring and commissioning with the webConfig tool, the HOST interface should be easily accessible.
The best read results are obtained if the following prerequisites are fulfilled:
• The reading distance lies in the middle area of the reading field.
• There is no direct sunlight and protect against ambient light effects.
• The bar code labels are of good print quality and have good contrast ratios.
• You are not using high-glossy labels.
• The bar code is moved past with an angle of inclination of ±10°…15° to vertical.

TCP/IP
Ä Activate the TCP/IP protocol.
Ä Set the TCP/IP mode of the device.
ð In TCP client mode, the device actively establishes the connection to the superior host system, e.g.,
PC/control as server. The device requires from the user the IP address of the server (host system)
and the port number on which the server (host system) accepts a connection. In this case, the device determines when and with whom a connection is established.
ð In TCP server mode, the superior host system (PC/control) actively establishes the connection and
the connected device waits for the connection to be set up.
The TCP/IP stack must be informed by the user as to the local port of the device (port number) on
which connection requests from a client application (host system) are to be received.
If there is a connection request and a connection is established by the superior host system (PC/
control as client), the device – in server mode – accepts the connection. Data can then be sent and
received.
Ä With a device as TCP client, set the following values:
ð IP address of the TCP server, normally the IP address of the control or the host computer
ð Port number of the TCP server
ð Timeout for the wait time for an answer from the server
ð Repetition time for renewed communication attempt following a timeout
Ä With a device as TCP server, set the following values:
ð Port number for the communication of the device with the TCP clients

• Once it is affixed in the documents, the "Address Link Label" establishes a unique reference between
the mounting location, the MAC address or the device, and the associated control program.
There is no need for time-consuming searching, reading, and manually writing down of the MAC addresses of every device that is installed in the system.
NOTICE
Each device with Ethernet interface is uniquely identified via the MAC address assigned during
production.
The MAC address is also listed on the name plate of the device.
If multiple devices are commissioned in a system, the MAC address of each installed device
must be correctly assigned, e.g., during programming of the control.
Ä Remove the "Address Link Label" from the device.
Ä If necessary, add the IP address and the device name to the "Address Link Label".
Ä Affix the "Address Link Label" in the documents, e.g., in the installation diagram, according to the posi-
tion of the device.

8.3.2
Control of the decoding
In general, decoding is controlled via the configurable switching inputs/outputs. The corresponding connection to the PWR/SWIO interface must be configured as a switching input for this purpose (see chapter 6.1
"PWR/SWIO (supply voltage, switching input and switching output)").
Controlling decoding via a switching input:
• Start/stop decoding
• Start decoding and then stop decoding after a configurable time period
• Read in a reference code
• Start automatic code type configuration (AutoConfig)
Ä Connect the required control devices, e.g., photoelectric sensor, proximity switch, etc., to the device
(see chapter 6 "Electrical connection").
Ä Configure the connected switching input according to your requirements.
ð Configure the switching behavior.
ð webConfig tool: Configuration > Device > Switching inputs/outputs
NOTICE
Alternatively, you can activate decoding using the '+' online command and deactivate it using
the '–' online command (see chapter 9 "Online commands").
Advanced decoding control in the webConfig tool
The webConfigtool provides advanced functions, in particular for deactivating decoding. These may be accessed via the Control submenu of the Configuration main menu. You can:
• Activate decoding automatically (delayed).
• Stop decoding after a maximum reading gate time.
• Stop decoding via the completeness mode, if:
• The maximum number of bar codes to be decoded has been decoded.
• A positive reference code comparison has taken place.
8.3.3
Control of the switching output
By using the switching inputs/outputs of the device, external event-controlled functions can be implemented
without assistance from the superior process control. For this purpose, the respective connection at the
PWR / SWIO interfaces must be configured as a switching output (see chapter 6.1 "PWR/SWIO (supply
voltage, switching input and switching output)").
A switching output can, for example, be activated according to the following criteria:
• At the start/end of the reading gate
• Depending on the read result:
• Reference code comparison positive/negative
• Read result valid/invalid
• Depending on the state of the device:
• Device ready/not ready
• Data transmission active/not active
• Active/standby
• Error/no error
Ä Connect the required switching output (see chapter 6 "Electrical connection").
Ä Configure the connected switching output according to your requirements.
ð Configure the switching behavior.

Transfer configuration data
Transferring configuration data with the webConfig tool
With the webConfigtool, you can store complete device configurations on data carriers and transfer them
from these to the device.
This storage of configuration data is especially useful if you want to store basic configurations which will require only minor changes.
The configuration data is saved in the webConfig tool using the buttons in the main menu Configuration.

Online commands
9 Online commands
9.1 Overview of commands and parameters
Online commands can be used to send commands directly to the device for control and configuration. For
this purpose, the bar code reader must be connected to a host or service computer via the interface. The
described commands are sent via the host interface.
Online commands offer the following options for controlling and configuring the bar code reader:
• Control/decode the reading gate
• Read/write/copy parameters
• Carry out an automatic configuration
• Teach-in/set reference codes
• Call up error messages
• Query statistical device information
• Perform a software RESET and re-initialize the bar code reader
Syntax
Online commands consist of one or two ASCII characters followed by command parameters.
No separation characters may be entered between the command and the command parameter(s). Both
small and capitalized letters can be used.
Example:
Command ’CA’: autoConfig function
Parameter ’+’: Activation
Transmitted is: ’CA+’
Notation
Commands, command parameters and returned data are enclosed between single quotation marks ’’ in
the text of this manual.
Most online commands are acknowledged by the device and any requested data returned. For commands
that are not acknowledged, command execution can be observed or monitored directly on the device.

Alignment mode
Command ’JP’
Description Activates or deactivates the alignment mode for simple mounting alignment of the
Parameter ’+’ activates the alignment mode
device.
After activating the function with JP+, the bar code reader constantly outputs status
information on the serial interface.
With this online command, the bar code reader is set to terminate the decoding after
100successfully decoded labels and output the status information. Subsequently,
the read process is reactivated automatically.
In addition to the output of the status information, the laser beam is used to display
the reading quality. Depending on how many read results could be extracted, the duration of the laser's "OFF" time increases.
If the reading quality is high, the laser beam flashes in brief, regular intervals. The
worse the decoder decodes, the longer the pauses become during which the laser is
switched off. The flashing intervals become more and more irregular because the
laser may, in total, be active for longer to extract more labels. The duration of the
pauses has been stepped in such a way that they can be distinguished by the eye.

13.2 Reading fields
13.2.1
Bar code characteristics
NOTICE
The size of the bar code module influences the maximum reading distance and the width of the
reading field. Therefore, when selecting a mounting location and/or the bar code label, take into
account the different reading characteristics of the scanner with various bar code modules.
L Code length: The length of the bar code in mm including the start and stop characters. The quiet zone is in-
cluded depending on the code definition.
S
M Module: The narrowest line or space of a bar code in mm
Z
B
Fig.13.1: The most important characteristics of a bar code
Bar length: height of the elements in mm
L
Wide character: Wide bars and gaps are a multiple (ratio) of the module.
B
ZB=Module x Ratio (Normal Ratio 1:2.5)
Quiet zone: The quiet zone should be at least 10 times the module, but not less than 2.5 mm.
Z
The range in which the bar code can be read by the bar code reader, the so-called reading field, depends
on the quality of the printed bar code and its dimensions. Therefore, above all, the module of a bar code is
decisive for the size of the reading field.
13.2.2
NOTICE
A rule of thumb: The smaller the module of the bar code is, the smaller the maximum reading
distance and reading field width will be.
Raster scanner
A raster variant is also available in the BCL200i series. The BCL200i as a raster scanner projects 8scan
lines which vary depending on the reading distance from the raster aperture.
Tab.13.1: Raster line cover dependent on the distance
Distance [mm] starting at the zero position 50 100 200 250
Raster-line cover [mm] of all raster lines 12 17 27 33
NOTICE
There may not be two or more bar codes in the raster detection range simultaneously.

Reading field curves
NOTICE
Please note that the actual reading fields are also influenced by factors such as labeling material, printing quality, reading angle, printing contrast etc., and may thus deviate from the reading
fields specified here. The origin of the read distance always refers to the front edge of the housing of the beam exit.
