2.4Working safely
Attention!
Access and changes to the device, except where expressly described in this operating
manual, are not authorized.
Safety regulations
Observe the locally applicable legal regulationsand the rules of the employer's liability
insurance association.
Qualified personnel
Mounting, commissioning and maintenance of the device must only be carried out by
qualified personnel.
Electrical work must be carried out by a certified electrician.
Attention, laser radiation!
If you look into the beam path over a longer time period, the retina of your eye may
be damaged!
Never look directly into the beam path!
Do not point the laser beam of the BCL 304i at persons!
When mounting and aligning the BCL 304i, avoid reflections of the laser beam off
reflective surfaces!
The BCL 304i bar code readers correspond to the EN 60825-1 safety standard for a
class 2 laser systems. They also comply with the U.S. 21 CFR 1040.10 regulations for
a class II laser product except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50, dated
July 26, 2001.
Radiant Energy: The BCL 304i uses a low power visible laser diode. The emitted
wavelength is 655nm. The average laser power is less than 1mW in accordance with
the definition of laser class 2.
Adjustments: Do not attempt any adjustments to or alterations of this product.
Do not remove the protective housing of the bar code reader. There are no userserviceable parts inside.
The glass optics cover is the only aperture through which laser radiation may be
observed on this product. A failure of the scanner motor, while the laser diode
continues to emit a laser beam, may cause emission levels to exceed those for safe
operation. The bar code reader has protective devices to prevent this occurrence. If,
however, a stationary beam is emitted, the failing bar code reader should be disconnected from the voltage supply immediately.
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
specified herein may result in hazardous light exposure.

Below you will find a short description for the initial commissioning of the BCL 304i. Detailed
explanations for all listed points can be found throughout this technical description.
3.1Mounting the BCL 304i
The BCL 304ibar code readers can be mounted in two different ways:
•Via four M4x6 screws on the bottom of the device.
•Via a BT 56 mounting device in the fastening groove on the bottom of the housing.
3.2Device arrangement and selection of the 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 BCL 304i in relation to the bar code module width.
• The resulting minimum and maximum reading distance from the respective reading
field.
• The permissible cable lengths between the BCL 304i and the host s
on which interface is used.
• The correct time for data output. The BCL 304i should be positioned in such a way
that, taking into consideration the time required for data processing and the conveyor
belt speed, there issufficient time to e.g. initiate sorting operations on the basis of the
read data.
• The display and control panel should be very visib
• For configuring and commissioning with the webConfig tool, the USB interface should be easily accessible.
For specific information, please refer to chapter 6 and chapter 7.

Notice!
The beam exits the BCL 304i as follows for the respective devices:
- line scanner parallel to the housing base
- deflection mirror 105 degrees to the housing base
- oscillating mirror perpendicular to the housing base.
The black areas in figure 6.2 are the housing base. The best read results are obtained when:
• The BCL 304i is mounted in such a way that the scanning beam is incident on the bar
code at an angle of inclination greater than ±10° … 15° to vertical.
• The reading distance lies in the middle area of the reading field.
• The bar code labels are of good print quality and have good contrast ratios.
• You do not use high-gloss labels.
• There is no direct sunlight.

ª Set the PROFIBUS address of the BCL304i in your PROFIBUS network via the address
switch (one slide and two rotary switches) provided for this purpose in the MS 304 or
MK 304.
ª Install the GSD file associated with the BCL 304i in the PROFIBUS Manager of your
control.
ª Activate the desired modules (at least module 10 and one of the modules 21 … 27).
ª Store the slave address for the BCL 304i in the PROFIBUSmanager. Ensure that the
address is the same as the address configured in the device.
ª Connect the +18 … 30VDC supply voltage (typ. +24VDC).

result module (21-27) must be configured and the BCL 304i must be connected to the
PROFIBUS.

General information
The integrated fieldbus connectivity = i contained in the bar code readers of the BCL 300i
series facilitates the use of identification systems which function without connector unit or
gateways. The integrated fieldbus interface considerably simplifies handling. The Plug-andPlay concept enables easy networking and very simple commissioning: Directly connect the
respective fieldbusand all configuration is performed with no
For decoding bar codes, the bar code readers of the BCL 300i series make available the
proven CRT decoder with code fragment technology:
The proven code fragment technology (CRT) enables bar code readers of the BCL 300i
series to read bar codes with a small bar height, as well as bar codes with a damaged or
soiled print image.

additional software.
Device description
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 twist angle).
Figure 4.2: Possible bar code orientation
With the BCL 304i, configuration is generally performed with the aid of the GSD file.
The BCL 304i needs a suitable activation to start
the reading field. This opens a time window ("reading gate") in the BCL 304i for the read
process during which the bar code reader has time to detect and decode a bar code.
Alternative activation options include online commands via the host interface and the In the
basic setting, triggering takes place through an external reading cycle signal or via the
PROFIBUS. An alternative option for activation is the autoReflAct function.
Through the read operation, the BCL 304i collects additional useful pieces of data for diagnosis 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.

4.4Reading techniques
4.4.1Line scanner (single line)
A line (scan line) scans the label. Due to the opt. opening angle, the reading field width is
dependent on the read distance. Through the movement of the object, the entire bar code
isautomatically transported through the scan line.
The integrated code fragment 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
The line scanner is used:
• when the bars of the bar code are printed in 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).
• when the reading distance is large.
