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 348i at persons!
When mounting and aligning the BCL 348i, avoid reflections of the laser beam off
reflective surfaces!
The BCL 348i 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 348i 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.

3Fast commissioning / operating principle
Below you will find a short description for the initial commissioning of the BCL 348i. Detailed
explanations for all listed points can be found throughout this technical description.
3.1Mounting the BCL 348i
The BCL 348i bar 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 348i 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 348i and the host system depending
on which interface is used.
• The correct time for data output. The BCL 348i 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 and control panel should be very visible and accessible.
• 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 348i 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 348i 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.

3.4Preparatory PROFINET-IO settings
Connect the supply voltage +18 … 30VDC (typ. +24VDC); the BCL 348i starts up and
the bar code reading window appears on the display:
First, you need to assign its individual device name to the BCL 348i. The PLC must communicate this device name to the participant during the "device naming". Further information
may be found below and in chapter "Step 5 – Configuration of the device name - naming the
device" on page 103.
3.4.1Commissioning the BCL 348i on the PROFINET-IO
Complete the necessary steps for commissioning a Siemens-S7 control as described
below.
Further information regarding the individual commissioning steps is provided in see chapter
10.4 "Configuration steps for a Siemens Simatic S7 control".
18BCL 348iLeuze electronic
3.4.2Preparing the control system
In the first step, assign an IP address to the IO Controller (S7 PLC) and prepare the
control for a consistent data transmission.
Notice!
If an S7 control is used, you need to ensure that Simatic-Manager Version 5.4 + service
pack 5 (V5.4+SP5) or higher is used.
3.4.3Installing the GSD file
For the subsequent configuration of the IO devices, e.g., BCL 348i, the corresponding GSD
file must be loaded first. All data in modules required for operating the BCL 348i is described
in this file. These are input and output data and device parameters for the functioning of the
BCL 348i and the definition of the control and status bits.
Install the GSD file associated with the BCL 348i in the PROFINET-IO Manager of your
control.
3.4.4Configuration
Configure the PROFINET-IO system with the HW Config of the SIMATIC Manager by
inserting the BCL 348i into your project.

3.4.5Transfer of the configuration to the IO Controller
Transfer the PROFINET-IO configuration to the IO Controller (S7 PLC).
After the correct transfer to the IO Controller (S7 PLC), the PLC automatically carries
out the following activities:
• Check device names
• Assignment of the IP addresses that were configured in the HW Config to the
IO devices
• Establishment of a connection between the IO Controller and configured
IO devices
• Cyclical data exchange

3.4.6Configuration of the device name - device naming
PROFINET-IO defines the "naming of the device" as the creation of a name-based relationship for a PROFINET-IO device.
Assigning the device names to the configured IO devices
Select the respective bar code scanner BCL 348i for the "device naming" based on its
MAC address.
The unique "device name" (which must match the participant in the HW Config) is then
assigned to this participant.
Notice!
Multiple BCL 348i can be distinguished by the MAC addresses displayed. The MAC address
may be found on the name plate of the respective bar code scanner.

Assignment of MAC address - IP address -individual device name
At this point, assign an IP address (suggested by the PLC), a subnet mask and, if
required, a router address, and assign this data to the named participant ("device
name").
Figure 3.6:MAC address - IP address -individual device name
From now on, and when programming, only the unique "device name" (max. 255 characters)
is used.
3.4.7Check device name
After completing the configuration phase, recheck the "device names" that have been
assigned. Please ensure that these names are unique and that all participants are located in the same subnet.
3.5Further settings
Carry out further settings via the PROFINET-IO Controller, such as the control of the
decoding and processing of the read data and the configuration of the connected switching
inputs and outputs, using the parameters provided by the GSD file.
Activate the desired modules (at least module 10 and one of the modules 21 … 27).

Operation of BCL 348i
After voltage (18 … 30V DC) has been connected to the switching input, a read process is
activated. In the standard setting, all common code types for decoding are released; only
the 2/5 Interleaved 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 the PROFINET-IO.

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 348i, configuration is generally performed with the aid of the GSD file.
The BCL 348i needs a suitable activation to st

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 signa
