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).
If the device is opened, there is a risk of injury to the retina. Therefore, the device must
not be opened. Repairs must only be performed by Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG.

• 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.

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.

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.
Figure 4.8: Deflection principle for the line scanner

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 358i can also scan
larger areas or spaces for bar codes. The reading field height (and the scan line length
useful for evaluation) depends

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

4.5Fieldbus systems
Various product variants of the BCL 300iseriesare available for connecting to different
fieldbussystemssuch as PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET, Ethernet and EtherNet/IP.
4.5.1EtherNet/IP
The BCL 358i is designed as an EtherNet/IP device (acc. to IEEE 802.3) with a standard
baud rate of 10/100 Mbit. EtherNet/IP makes use of the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP)
as an application layer for the user. The functionality of the device is defined via parameter
sets which are clustered in objects, classes and instances. These are contained in a
file which, depending on the version of the control software, can be used to configure and
integrate the BCL 358i into the system. A fixed MAC ID is assigned to each BCL 358i by the
manufacturer; this ID cannot be changed.
The BCL 358i automatically supports the transmission rates of 10 Mbit/s (10BaseT) and

The innovative further development of the BCL 358i with integrated switch functionality
offers the option of connecting multiple bar code readers of type BCL 358i to one another
without direct connection to a switch. In addition to the classic "star topology", a "linear
topology" is thus also possible.

4.7autoReflAct
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.
4.8Reference codes
The BCL 358i 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 BCL 358i 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 358i 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 358i to -35°C
• Supply voltage 18 … 30VDC
•BCL358i enabling through an internal temperature switch
(switch-on delay about 30min for 24VDC and minimum ambient temperature
of -35°C)
•Necessary conductor cross-section for the voltage supply: at least 0.75mm²; the use
of ready-made cables is, thus, not possible.
Construction
The heating consists of two parts:
• The front cover heater
• The housing heater
Function
When the 24V DC supply voltage is applied to the BCL 358i, 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 358i 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

TNT 35/7-24V
Mounting location
Notice!
The mounting location is to be selected such that it does not expose the BCL 358i with heating directly to a cold air stream. To achieve an optimal heating effect, the BCL 358i 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.
Leuze electronicBCL 358i41
Page 44
Specifications
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 consumes a maximum of 27W power.
• the line scanner with oscillating mirror and heating consumes a maximum of 45W
power.
• the line/raster scanner with deflection mirror and heating consumes a maximum of
27W power.
These values are based on operation with unconnected switching outputs.

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 358i (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.
Specifications
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 358i 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 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 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 358i 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 358i is mounted in such a way that the scanning beam is incident on the bar
code at an angle of inclination grea
• 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.
• Yo u 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!

6.3.3Avoiding total reflection – deflection mirror scanner
For the BCL 358i 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 358i can be installed parallel to the bar code (rear housing
wall).

The BCL 358i 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 358i with oscillating mirror, the laser beam exits at an angle of 90° to vertical.
For the BCL 358i 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 358i
with oscillating mirror must be inclined upward or downward 20° … 30°!
Notice!
Mount the BCL 358i 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 358i 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 358i 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 358i 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 358i 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 358i and bar code
The optimum alignment of the BCL 358i 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).

7.4.1Ethernet wiring
A Cat. 5 Ethernet cable should be used for wiring.
For the connection on the BCL 358i, a "KDS ET M12 / RJ 45 W - 4P" adapter is available
into which the standard network cable can be plugged.
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 358i, see table 13.10
"B
us connection cables for the BCL 358i" on page 162.
The individual BCL 358i devices in a linear topology are connected with the
"KB ET - … - SSA" cable, see table 13.10 "Bus connection cables for the BCL 358i" on
page 162.
For unavailable line lengths, you can configure your cables yourself. When doing so, make
certain that you connect TDx+ on the M12 connector with RD+ on the RJ-45 connector and

10Commissioning and configuration
Attention Laser!
Observe the safety notices in chapter 2!
This chapter describes basic configuration steps which you can carry out via the
webConfig tool or the Rockwell control.
Via the webConfig tool
The most convenient way to configure the BCL 358i is via the webConfig tool. To use the
webConfig tool, you need to establish a USB connection between the BCL 358i and a PC/
laptop.
Notice!
Notes on the use of the webConfig tool can be found in chapter 9 "Leuze webConfig tool"
on page 88.
10.1Measures to be performed prior to the initial commissioning
Before commissioning, familiarize yourself with the operation and configuration of the
BCL 358i.
Before connecting the supply voltage, recheck all connections and ensure that they have
been properly made.
The description of the electrical connections can be found in chapter 7.

10.2S tarting the device
Connect the +18 … 30VDC supply voltage (typ. +24VDC); the BCL 358i starts up and
the bar code reading window appears on the display.
Notice!
The BCL 358i can decode the following code types in the standard setting:
• Code 128Number of digits 4 … 63
• 2/5 InterleavedNumber of digits 10
• Code 39 Number of digits 4 … 30
• EAN 8 / 13Number of digits 8 and 13
• UPCNumber of digits 8
• CodabarNumber of digits 4 … 63
• Code 93Number of digits 4 … 63
• Code GS1 Data Bar OMNIDIRECTIONAL
• Code GS1 Data Bar LIMITED
• Code GS1 Data Bar EXPANDED
Deviations from these settings must be set via the webConfig tool. See "Leuze webConfig
tool" on page 88.
Asa first step, you need to set the communication parameters of the BCL 358i.
10.3S etting the communication parameters
With the communication parameters, you determine how data is exchanged between
BCL 358i and the host system. The communication parameters are independent of the
topology in which the BCL 358i is operated. See "Ethernet topologies" on page 80.
On delivery, the automatic address assignment via DHCP server is defined as the standard
setting of the BCL 358i.
