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.

Page 30
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
the reading field. This opens a time window ("reading gate") in the BCL 348i 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 signa

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.

Device description
4.4.2Line scanner with oscillating mirror
The oscillating mirror deflects the scan line additionally to both sides across the scan direction at a randomly adjustable oscillation frequency. In this way, the BCL 348i can also scan
larger areas or spaces for bar codes. The reading field height (and the scan line length
useful for evaluation) depends
the oscillating mirror.
Areas of application of the line scanner with oscillating mirror
For line scanners with oscillating mirror, oscillation frequency, start/stop position etc. are
adjustable. It is used:
• when the position of the label is not fixed, e.g. on pallets – various labels can, thus, be
detected at various positions.
• when the bars of the bar code are printed perpendicular to the conveying direction
('picket fence arrangement').
• when reading stationary ob
• when a large reading field (reading window) has to be covered.

4.4.3Raster scanner (Raster Line)
Multiple scan linesscan the label. Due to the optical opening angle, the reading field width
is dependent on the reading 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 isscanned by
multiple scan lines.
The integrated code fragment technology permits twisting of the bar code (tilt angle) within
certain limits. These are dependent on the transport
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:
The raster scanner is used:
• when the bars of the bar code are perpendicular to the conveying direction ('picket

4.5Fieldbus systems
Various product variants of the BCL 300iseriesare available for connecting to different
fieldbussystemssuch as PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET-IO and Ethernet.
4.5.1PROFINET-IO
The BCL 348i is designed as a PROFINET-IO device (acc. to IEEE 802.3). It supports a
transmission rate of up to 100 Mbit/s (100BaseTX/FX), full duplex, as well as auto-negotia-
tion and auto-crossover.
The functionality of the device is defined via parameter sets which are clustered in modules.
These modules are contained in a GSDML file.
Each BCL 348i issealed with aunique MAC-ID. This information isused to assign a unique,
plant-specific device name ("NameOfStation") to the device via the "Discovery and Configuration Protocol (DCP)". When configuring a PROFINET-IO system, the assignment of the
device names to the configured IO devices creates a name-based relationship for the participating IO devices ("device naming"). F

The innovative further development of the BCL 348i with integrated switch functionality
offers the option of connecting multiple bar code readers of type BCL 348i to one another
without direct connection to a switch. In addition to the classic "star topology", a "linear
topology" is thus also possible.

Leuze electronicBCL 348i37
For low-temperature applications to min. -35°C (e.g. in cold storage), the bar code readers
of the BCL 348i series can optionally be permanently fitted with a built-in heating and thesebar code readers purchased asseparate device models.
The parameter memory available in the MS348 or MK 348simplifies the time saving on-site
exchange of a BCL 348i by providing a copy of the current parameter set of the BCL 348iand by storing the device name as well. This eliminates the need to configure the exchanged
device manually and, in particular, a new naming of the device – the control can immediatelyaccess the exchanged BCL 3
48i.

4.8autoReflAct
AutoReflAct stands for Automatic Reflector Activation and permits an activation without
additional sensors. This isachieved by directing the scanner with reduced scanning beam
towards a reflector mounted behind the conveyor path.
Notice!
Compatible reflectors are available on request.
As long as the scanner is targeted at the reflector, the reading gate remains clos
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.
Figure 4.13: Reflector a
The autoReflAct function uses the scanning beam to simulate a photoelectric sensor and
thus permits an activation without additional sensor system.
4.9Reference codes
The BCL 348i offers the possibility of storing one or two reference codes.
It is possible to store the reference codes via the webConfig tool, via online commands or
PROFINET-IO.
The BCL 348i can compare read bar codes with one and/or both reference codes and
execute user-configurable functions depending on the comparison result.

5.2Heating models of the bar code readers
The BCL 348i bar code readers are optionally available as models with integrated heating.
In this case, heating is permanently installed ex works. Self-installation on-site by the user
is not possible!
Features
•Integrated heating (permanently installed)
• Extends the application range of the BCL 348i to -35°C
• Supply voltage 24VDC ±20%
•BCL348i enabling through an internal temperature switch

Construction
The heating consists of two parts:
• The front cover heater
• The housing heater
Function
When the 24VDC supply voltage is applied to the BCL 348i, a temperature switch initially
only connects the heating to current (front cover heater and housing heater). During the
heating phase (around 30min), when the inside temperature rises above 15°C, the temper-
ature switch connects the BCL 348i to the supply voltage. This is followed by the self test
and the changeover to read operation. The "PWR" LED light
for operation.
When the inside temperature reaches approximately 18 °C, another temperature switch
turns the housing heater off and, if necessary, back on again (if the inside temperature dropsbelow 15°C). This does not interrupt the read operation. The front cover heater remainsactivated until an inside temperature of 25 °C is rea

Mounting location
Notice!
The mounting location is to be selected such that it does not expose the BCL 348i with heating directly to a cold air stream. To achieve an optimal heating effect, the BCL 348i should
be mounted so that it is thermally isolated.
Electrical connection
The required core cross section of the connection cable for the voltage supply must be at
least 0.75 mm².
44BCL 348iLeuze electronic
Page 47
Attention!
The voltage supply must not be looped through from one device to the next.
Power consumption
The energy requirement depends on the model:
• the line/raster scanner with heating typically consumes a maximum of 17W power.
• the line scanner with oscillating mirror and heating typically consumes a maximum of
26W power.
• the line/raster scanner with deflection mirror and heating typically consumes a
maximum of 19W power.
These values are based on operation with unconnected switching output

5.4.1Bar code characteristics
Notice!
Please note that 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.
Figure 5.6:The most important characteristics of a bar code
The range in which the bar code can be read by the BCL 348i (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.
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.

6.3Device arrangement
6.3.1Selecting 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 BCL 348i in relation to the bar code module width.
• The resulting minimum and maximum reading distance from the respective reading
field (see chapter 5.4 "Reading field curves / optical data").
• The permissi
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 issufficient time to e.g. initiate sorting operations on the basis of the
read data
• The display elements such as LEDs or the display should be highly visible.
• 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 of the BCL 348i exits:
• parallel to the housing base in the case of the line scanner
• at 105 degrees from the housing
• perpendicular to the housing base in the case of the oscillating mirror
In each case, the housing base is the black area in figure 6.2. 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.

Zero position
The bar code label must be positioned at an angle of inclination greater than ±10° … 15°
from vertical in order to avoid total reflection of the laser beam (see figure 6.6)!
Total reflection occurs whenever the laser light of the bar code reader is directly incident on
the surface of the bar code at an angle of 90°. The light directly reflected by the bar code
may overload the bar code reader and thereby cause non-readings!
Installation and mounting

6.3.3Avoiding total reflection – deflection mirror scanner
For the BCL 348i with deflection mirror, the laser beam exits at an angle of 105° to the rear
housing wall.
An angle of incidence of 15° of the laser to the label hasalready been integrated in the
deflection mirror so that the BCL 348i can be installed parallel to the bar code (rear housing
wall).

The BCL 348i should be mounted in such a way that the scan-
ning beam is incident on the bar code at an angle of inclination
greater than ±25° to vertical.
6.3.4Avoiding total reflection – oscillating-mirror scanner
For the BCL 348i with oscillating mirror, the laser beam exits at an angle
of 90° to vertical.
For the BCL 348i with oscillating mirror, the swivel range of ±20°
(±12° for devices with heating) is to be taken into account.
This means that in order to be on the safe side and to avoid total reflection, the BCL 348i
with oscillating mirror must be inclined upward or downward 20° … 30°!
Notice!
Mount the BCL 348i with oscillating mirror in such a way that the outlet window of the bar
code reader is parallel to the object. This will result in an angle of inclination of approx. 25°.
Figure 6.8:Total reflection – BCL 348i with oscillating mirror
6.3.5Mounting location
When selecting a mounting location, pay attention to:
• Maintaining the required environmental conditions (temperature, humidity).
• Possible soiling of the reading window due to liquids, abrasion by boxes, or
packaging material residues.
• Lowest possible chance of damage to the BCL 348i by mechanical collision or
jammed parts.
• Possible extraneous light (no direct sunlight or sunlight reflected by the bar code).

6.3.6Devices with integrated heating
For devices with integrated heating, also observe the following points:
• Mount the BCL 348i in a way which provides maximum thermal isolation, e.g. using
rubber-bonded metal.
• Mount in such a way that the device is protected from draft and wind; mount additional
shields if necessary.
Notice!
When installing the BCL 348i in a protective housing, it must be ensured that the scanning
beam can exit the protective housing without obstruction.
6.3.7Possible reading angles between BCL 348i and bar code
The optimum alignment of the BCL 348i is accomplished when the scan line scans the code
bars almost at a right angle (90°). All reading angles that are possible between the scan line
and bar code must be taken account (figure 6.9).

To set up a PROFINET-IO network with other participants with linear topology, the BCL 348i
makesavailable another PROFINET-IO RT interface (Ethernet_1). The use of this interface
drastically reduces the cabling requirements, as only the first BCL 348i requires a direct
connection to the switch, via which it can communicate with the host. All other BCL 348i are
connected in series to the first BCL 348i

ferred, see table 13.9 "Bus connection cable for the BCL 348i" on page 141.
If you use user-configurable cables, note the following:
Notice!
Ensure adequate shielding. The entire connection cable must be shielded and earthed. The
signal lines must be stranded in pairs.
Use CAT 5 cable for the connection.

7.4PROFINET-IO topologies
The BCL 348i can be operated asasingle device (standalone) with individual device name
in a PROFINET-IO star topology. The PLC must communicate this device name to the
participant during the "device naming" (see section "Step 5 – Configuration of the device
name - naming the device" on page 103).
Figure 7.4:PROFINET-IO in a star topology
The innovative further development of the BCL 348i with integrated switch functionality
offer
s the option of networking multiple bar code readers of type BCL 348i with one another.
In addition to the classic "star topology", a "linear topology" is thusalso possible.
This makes wiring the network easy and inexpensive as participants are connected to one
another in parallel.
The maximum length of a segment (connection from one participant to the next) is limited to
100m.

Up to 254 bar code readers can be networked. They must all be located in the same subnet.
To do this, the individual "device name" is assigned to each participating BCL 348i through
"device naming", using the control's configuration tool. For specific information, please refer
to section "Step 5 – Configuration of the device name - naming the device" on page 103.

7.4.1PROFINET-IO wiring
A Cat. 5 Ethernet cable should be used for wiring.
For the connection technology transition from M12 to RJ45, a "KDS ET M12 / RJ 45 W - 4P"
adapter isavailable that lets you connect standard network cables.
If no standard network cables are to be used (e.g. due to lacking IP… protection class), you
can use the "KB ET - … - SA" user-configurable cable on the BCL 348i, see table 13.9
connection cable for the BCL 348i" on page 141.
The individual BCL 348i devices in a linear topology are connected with the
"KB ET - … - SSA" cable, see table 13.9 "Bus connection cable for the BCL 348i" on
page 141.
For unavailable cable lengths, you can configure your cables yourself. When doing so, make
certain that you connect TD+ on the M12 connector with RD+ on the RJ-45 connector and
TD- on the M12 connector with RD- on the RJ-45 connector, re
