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 358i at persons!
When mounting and aligning the BCL 358i, avoid reflections of the laser beam off
reflective surfaces! Adhere to the applicable legal and local regulations regarding
protection from laser beams acc. to EN 60825 (IEC 60825) in its latest version.
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
specified herein may result in hazardous light exposure! The use of optical
instruments or devices with the product will increase eye hazard!
The glass optics cover is the only aperture through which laser radiation may be
observed on this product. The device must not be tampered with and must not be
changed in any way. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the device.
A failure of the scanner motor while the laser diode continues to emit a laser beam
may cause the emission level limit to be exceeded. The device has safeguards to
prevent this occurrence. If, however, a stationary beam is emitted, the failing bar code
reader should be disconnected from the voltage supply immediately.
The BCL 358i fulfills the EN 60825-1 (IEC 60825-1) safety regulations for a product in
laser class 2 as well as the U.S. 21 CFR 1040.10 regulations with deviations corresponding to Laser Notice No. 50 from June 24th, 2007.
The BCL 358i uses a laser diode with low power in the visible red light range with an
emitted wavelength of approx. 655 nm. The output power of the laser beam at the exit
window is max. 1.8mW in accordance with EN 60825-1 (IEC 60825-1). The average
laser power is less than 1mW in accordance with laser class 2 acc. to EN 60825-1
(IEC 60825-1).
Located inside the protective housing of the BCL 358i is a laser diode of laser
class 3B. The laser diode can emit a maximum output power of 12mW CW (data sheet
value, absolute maximum rating).

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 358i 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 358i and the hos
on which interface is used.
• The correct time for data output. The BCL 358i 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 vi
• For configuring and commissioning with the webConfig tool, the USB interface should be easily accessible.

3.4.1BCL 358i on EtherNet/IP
Commissioning on the EtherNet/IP is performed according to the following scheme:
1.Address assignment
• automatic via DHCP, BootP or
•manual via webConfig (with a USB connection)
2.Configuration of the participant depending on the version of the control software:
• either with the generic Ethernet module or
•installation of the EDS file
3.Tra nsfering the data to the control
4.Adapting the device parameters via webConfig
5.Use explicit messagingservices
Notice!
On delivery, the automatic address assignment via DHCP server is defined as the standard
setting of the BCL 358i and the IP address is set to 0.0.0.0.
The BCL 358i can be configured in the planning tool/control using the EDS file (Electronic
DataSheet) if the control supports this. PLC software RSLogix 5000 from Rockwell offers
EDS support for EtherNet/IP from software version 20.00 and up.
Without PLC support of the EDS integration, the settings are made via the generic Ethernetmodule. In this case, the respective configuration must be entered and ad
for each device. The parameter download from the control to the BCL 358i is performed
during every establishment of connection. Since the parametersare stored centrally in the
control, this helps during device exchange.

The BCL 358i can be operated and configured using the integrated webConfig tool via the
USB service interface; alternatively, the bar code rea
tion commands via the host/service interface.
The BCL 358i 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 BCL 358i for the read
process during which the bar code reader has time to detect
In the basic setting, triggering takes place through an external reading cycle signal. Alterna-
tive activation options include online commands via the host interface and the autoReflAct
function.
Through the read operation, the BCL 358i collects additional useful pieces of data for diagnosis which can also be tran
inspected using the alignment mode which is integrated in the webConfig tool.
