The Plug-andPlay concept enables easy networking and very simple commissioning: Directly connect the respective fieldbus and all configuration is performed with no additional software.

For decoding barcodes, the barcode readers of the BCL 500 proven CRT decoder with code fragment technology:

The proven code fragment technology (CRT) enables barcode readers of the BCL 500 series to read barcodes with a small bar height, as well as barcodes with a damaged or soiled print image.

Device description

With the aid of the CRT decoder, barcodes can also be read without problem in other demanding situations, such as with a large tilt angle (azimuth angle or even twist angle).

The BCL 500 object is in the reading field. This opens a time window ("reading gate") in the BCL 500 detect and decode a barcode.

In the basic setting, triggering takes place through an external reading cycle signal. Alternative activation options include online commands via the host interface and the autoReflAct function.

Through the read operation, the BCL 500 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.

A multi-language display with buttons is used to operate the BCL 500 for visualisation purposes. Two LEDs provide additional optical information on the current operating state of the device.

The four freely configurable switching inputs/outputs "SWIO 1 … SWIO 4" can be assigned various functions and control e.g. activation of the BCL 500 such as a PLC.

4.4 Reading techniques

4.4.1 Line 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 barcode is automatically transported through the scan line.

The integrated code fragment technology permits twisting of the barcode (tilt angle) within certain limits. These are dependent on the transport speed, the scanning rate of the scanner and the barcode properties.

Areas of application of the line scanner

The line scanner is used:

• when the bars of the barcode are printed in the conveying direction ('ladder arrangement').

• with barcodes having very short bar lengths.

• when the ladder code is turned out of the vertical position (tilt angle).

• when the scanning distance is large.

Device description

4.4.2 Line 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 500 also scan larger areas or spaces for barcodes. The reading field height (and the scan line length useful for evaluation) depends on the reading distance due to the optical beam width of 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 barcode are printed perpendicular to the conveying direction ('picket fence arrangement').

• when reading stationary objects.

• when the barcode is turned out of the horizontal position.

• when the scanning distance is large.

• when a large reading field (reading window) has to be covered.

PC / PLC host interface

Switching inputs/outputs

In order to read arbitrarily oriented barcodes on an object, at least 2 barcode readers are necessary. If the barcode is not printed over-square, i.e. bar length > code length, barcode readers with integrated code fragment technology are necessary.

4.6 Networking - Leuze multiNet plus

In the Leuze multiNet plus network, up to 32 barcode readers can be networked together. The respective network devices transmit the read data when requested to by the BCL 500 (or MA 31) network master. For this purpose, each BCL 500i / BCL 501i is assigned its own station address which is set with the aid of the display on the respective BCL 500

BCL 501 The master then transmits the data of all network devices via its host interface to a primary

PLC control system or a computer, i.e. it "collects" the scanner data in the network and transmits it to an interface on the host computer. This reduces interface costs (CPs) and time spent programming the software.

Figure 4.8: Networking possibilities using the multiNet plus

Two-wire RS 485

The Leuze multiNet plus is optimised for fast transmission of scanner data to a primary host computer. The multiNet plus consists physically of a two-wire RS 485 interface through which the Leuze multiNet plus software protocol is controlled. This makes wiring the network easy and inexpensive as slaves are connected to one another in parallel.

In principle, networking occurs via a parallel connection of the individual RS 485 interfaces of the respective barcode scanners. Shielded, twisted pair conductors should be used for the Leuze multiNet plus. This allows a total network length of up to 1200m.

4.7 Leuze multiScan

The multiScan operating mode is based on Leuze multiNet plus and links individual barcode readings from multiple barcode scanners into a single decoding result. This is used, for example, on a packet conveyor system on which the label can be affixed on either the right or left side, thereby requiring two read stations. To prevent the host from having to

26 BCL 500i\ BCL 501

Leuze electronic

Device description

always process two readings for a single packet, i.e. a decoding result and a No Read, a multiScan arrangement is used which transmits only one reading from the two read stations to the host; this single reading is transmitted by the multiScan master.

Notice!

Thus, from the perspective of the host, the scanner network appears to be just a single barcode reader!

For this purpose one multiScan master and one or more multiScan slaves are connected together via the RS 485 interface.

Figure 4.9: Scanner arrangement with the multiScan function

Notice!

The multiScan function on the RS 485 interface is possible for minimum of 2 and a maximum of 32 devices!

The protocol set on the RS 485 interface is the multiNet protocol. As a result, during multi-

Scan operation on the RS 485 interface, the multiNet master also functions as the multiScan master and the multiNet slaves function as multiScan slaves (thus, all multiNet

slave are included in multiScan operation).

4.10 autoReflAct

AutoReflAct stands for Automatic Reflector Activation and permits an activation without

additional sensors. This is achieved by directing the scanner with reduced scanning beam towards a reflector mounted behind the conveyor path. As long as the scanner is targeted at the reflector, the reading gate remains closed. If, however, the reflector is blocked by an object such as a container with a barcode 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.

Device description

Figure 4.11: Reflector arrangement for autoReflAct

The autoReflAct function uses the scanning beam to simulate a photoelectric sensor and thus permits an activation without additional sensory mechanism.

4.11 Reference codes

After starting the autoConfig function via the display, switching input or from a primary control, it is sufficient to position a barcode label with the desired code type and number of digits in the reading field of the BCL 500

Afterward, barcodes with the same code type and number of digits are recognised and decoded.

5.2 Heating models of the barcode readers

The BCL 500i\ BCL 501i barcode readers are optionally available as models with integrated heating. In this case, heating is permanently installed ex works. Self-installation onsite by the user is not possible!

Features

• Integrated heating (permanently installed)

• Extends the application range of the BCL 500

• Supply voltage 24VDC ±20%

• BCL 500 (switch-on delay about 30min for 24V DC 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 500i\ BCL 501i, a temperature switch initially only connects the heating to electrical power (front cover heater and housing heater). During the heating phase (around 30min), when the inside temperature rises above 15°C, the temperature switch connects the BCL 500 is followed by the self test and the changeover to read operation. The "PWR" LED lights up showing overall readiness 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 drops below 15°C). This does not interrupt the read operation. The front cover heater remains activated until an inside temperature of 25°C is reached. At temperatures above this, the front cover heater switches off and, with a switching hysteresis of 3°C, back on again at an inside temperature below 22°C.

Power consumption

The energy requirement depends on the model:

• the line scanner with heating typically consumes 40W and a maximum of 50W power.

• the line scanner with oscillating mirror and heating typically consumes 60W and a maximum of 75W.

These values are based on operation with unconnected switching outputs.

Barcode characteristics

Notice!

Please note that the size of the barcode module influences the maximum reading distance and the width of the reading field. Therefore, when selecting a mounting location and/or the barcode label, take into account the different reading characteristics of the scanner with various barcode modules.

The range in which the barcode can be read by the BCL 500 reading field) depends on the quality of the printed barcode and its dimensions.

Therefore, above all, the module of a barcode is decisive for the size of the reading field.

Notice!

When mounting, ensure that the scanning beam is not reflected directly back to the scanner by the label which is being read. For further information, see the notices in chapter 6.3!: Please refer to chapter 5.6 for the permissible minimum and maximum distances between the BCL 500i \ BCL 501i and the labels to be read.

6.3 Device arrangement

6.3.1 Selecting a mounting location

In order to select the right mounting location, several factors must be considered:

• Size, orientation, and position tolerance of the barcodes on the objects to be scanned.

• The reading field of the BCL 500

• The resulting minimum and maximum reading distance from the respective reading field (see chapter 5.5 "Reading field curves / optical data").

• The permissible line lengths between the BCL 500 depending on which interface is used.

• 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 4.4.

Notice!

Barcode

The BCL 500i\ BCL 501i should be mounted in such a way that the scanning beam is incident on the barcode at an angle of inclination greater than ±10° … 15° to vertical.

…

The beam exits the BCL 500i \ BCL 501i as follows for the respective devices:

- line scanner parallel to the housing base

- oscillating mirror and deflection mirror perpendicular to the housing base The black areas in figure 6.1 are the housing base. The best read results are obtained when:

• The BCL 500i \BCL501i is mounted in such a way that the scanning beam is inci- dent on the barcode at an angle of inclination greater than ±10° … 15° to vertical.

• The reading distance lies in the middle area of the reading field.

• The barcode labels are of good print quality and have good contrast ratios.

• You do not use high-gloss labels.

• There is no direct sunlight.

6.3.2 Avoiding total reflection – Line scanner

The barcode 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 6.5)!

Total reflection occurs whenever the laser light of the barcode reader is directly incident on the surface of the barcode at an angle of 90°. The light directly reflected by the barcode may overload the barcode reader and thereby cause non-readings!

Installation and mounting

Figure 6.5: Total reflection – line scanner

6.3.3 Avoiding total reflection – oscillating/deflection-mirror scanner

For the BCL 500i\ BCL 501i with oscillating/deflection mirror, the laser beam exits at an angle of 90° to vertical.

For the BCL 500 adjust the direction of the beam by ±10°.

For the BCL 500 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 500 20° … 30°!

The BCL 500i\ BCL 501i should be mounted in such a way that the scanning beam is incident on the barcode at an angle of inclination greater than ±25° to vertical.

Notice!

Mount the BCL 500i \ BCL 501i with oscillating/deflection mirror in such a way that the outlet window of the barcode reader is parallel to the object. This will result in an angle of inclination of approx. 25°.

Figure 6.6: Total reflection – BCL 500i\ BCL 501i with oscillating/deflection mirror

6.3.4 Mounting 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 500i \ BCL 501i by mechanical collision or jammed parts.

• Possible extraneous light (no direct sunlight or sunlight reflected by the barcode).

6.3.5 Devices with integrated heating

For devices with integrated heating, also observe the following points:

• Mount the BCL 500i\ BCL 501i 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 draughts and wind; mount additional shields if necessary.

Notice!

When installing the BCL 500i \ BCL 501i in a protective housing, it must be ensured that the scanning beam can exit the protective housing without obstruction.

6.3.6 Maximum permissible read angles between BCL 500i\ BCL 501i and barcode

The optimum alignment of the BCL 500i\BCL501i is accomplished when the scan line scans the code bars almost at a right angle (90°). All read angles that are possible between the scan line and barcode must be taken account (figure 6.7).

Figure 6.7: Reading angle for the line scanner

α Tilt - max. 45 ° β Pitch - max. 45 ° γ Skew - max. 45°

In order to avoid total reflection, the skew

γ should be greater than 10°

6.4 Attaching laser warning sign

Attention Laser!

Follow the safety notices in chapter 2.

It is important that you attach the sticky labels supplied to the device (laser warning signs and laser emission symbol)! If the signs would be covered due to the installation situation of the BCL 500i \ BCL 501i, attach them instead in the immediate vicinity of the BCL 500i \ BCL 501i in such a way that it is not necessary to look into the laser beam when reading the notices!

6.5 Cleaning

Clean the glass window of the BCL 500i \ BCL 501i with a soft cloth after mounting. Remove all packaging remains, e.g. carton fibres or Styrofoam balls. In doing so, avoid leaving fingerprints on the front cover of the BCL 500i \ BCL 501i.

As a network slave participant, the BCL 501i is equipped with four M12 plugs/sockets which are A- and B-coded.

There, the voltage supply (PWR), the four freely configurable switching inputs and outputs (SW IN/OUT and PWR), the Leuze multiNet plus interface (HOST / BUS IN) as well as the connection to another multiNet plus network device (BUS OUT) are carried out. A USB connection serves as a SERVICE interface.

Termination of the RS 485 interface

The BCL 501i functions as a slave in the Leuze multiNet plus network. At the last physical participant, the Leuze multiNet plus network (RS 485 interface) must be terminated with a terminating resistor (see chapter 13 "Type overview and accessories"). This prevents reflections on the Leuze multiNet plus and improves the interference immunity.

7.4.1 Wiring the multiNet plus

Leuze multiNet plus connection hints

Shielded, twisted pair conductors should be used for the Leuze multiNet plus. This allows a total network length of up to 1200m.

Recommended network cable (e.g. LiYCY 2x0.2mm²):

- Twisted pairs, shielded

- Cross section: min. 0.2 mm²

- Copper resistance <100 Ω/km

When wiring the network, note the following points:

• The RS 485A, RS 485B and GND lines are wired through in the network and must not in any case be misconnected; the Leuze multiNet plus network is otherwise not functional. It is recommended that the GND of the RS 485 interface of the participants be wired through with the other wires.

• Connect the shielding to the slaves with FE.

• The maximum line length in the network is 1200m.

• The (physically) last slave in the network should be fitted with a terminating resistor of 220Ω between RS 485A and RS 485B. This prevents reflections on the multiNet plus and improves the interference immunity.

Notice!

Use the recommended connectors / sockets or the ready-made lines and terminating resistors (see chapter 13 "Type overview and accessories").

7.4.2 The BCL 500i as network master

Master operation

The barcode readers of the BCL 500i series are specially designed for master operation in a network. They manage slave data in the multiNet plus and establish the connection to the primary host computer. Only a few parameters need to be set for master operation (see chapter 10 "Commissioning and configuration"). Network commissioning can thus be performed in very little time.

Last slave address

Unlike the slaves, the network address is not set on the display of the BCL 500i (the master always has address 00), but rather the last slave address, i.e. the number of the highestvalue slave. As a result, the BCL 500 on the network without you having to call up the webConfig tool. If the network is expanded at a later time, you only need to change the number of slaves (last slave address) – a task which can be accomplished with the aid of the display.

Start-up / timeout messages

During the initialisation phase, i.e. after switching-on the operating voltage, the master searches for the set number of slaves. When a slave is found, the master generates a startup message "S" for the respective found address, e.g. "04S" -> slave with address 04 has responded correctly.

If a slave is not found or does not respond, the master generates a "timeout" at this address (response-time timeout).

At the host interface, the slave address and a "T" are output. For example, "08T" means that no slave has responded at network address 08. The network remains operational after one or more timeouts, but a slave for which a timeout has been reported cannot be accessed.

master is "informed" how many slaves are operating

Mounting location of the BCL 500i - master

When mounting the BCL 500i, make sure that it is in an easily accessible, clearly visible location in your system. Once the network has been put into operation, it is possible to set (configure) each scanner in the network centrally via the USB-service interface or host inter-

face of the BCL 500

Terminating resistor on the last slave

The barcode readers of the BCL 500i series can alternatively function as slave participants in network operation. They now only transmit data to the multiNet - master (e.g. BCL 500 when requested to do so by the master and establish the continuing connection to the next slave via the BUS OUT socket with the aid of an external M12 T-connector (order information see chapter 13.4 "Accessory connectors"). The last participant in the network must be terminated with a terminating resistor.

Figure 7.9: System topology of Leuze multiNet plus with BCL 500

Only a few parameters need to be set for slave operation (see chapter 10 "Commissioning and configuration"). Network commissioning can thus be performed in very little time.

Slave address

The display of the BCL 500i possesses an important function for setting the network address. The network address is set on the display, i.e. the respective station number of the slave. The address which is set must be > 0 since the master always has address 0

Leuze electronic BCL 500i\BCL501

(Adr.00). Each network device with an address > 0 is thereby automatically informed that it is a slave

in the Leuze multiNet plus with this address and that it is initialised and queried by the network master. No other settings are necessary for commissioning in the Leuze multiNet plus.

Other settings

The parameters necessary for the reading task, such as the code types to be read and the number of digits of the code, must be set. This can be performed via the display as well as with the aid of the webConfig tool.

7.4.4 The BCL 501i as network slave

The BCL 501i barcode readers are specially designed for slave operation in a network. They transmit data to the multiNet master only after the master prompts it to do so and establish the continuing connection via the BUS OUT socket to the slaves which follow. Only a few parameters need to be set for slave operation (see chapter 10 "Commissioning and configuration"). Network commissioning can thus be performed in very little time.

The connection is performed as shown in figure 7.8.

Slave address

With the BCL 501i, the network address is set on the display, i.e. the respective station number of the slave. The address which is set must be > 0 since the master always has address 0 (Adr.00).

Each network device with an address > 0 is thereby automatically informed that it is a slave in the Leuze multiNet plus with this address and that it is initialised and queried by the network master. No other settings are necessary for commissioning in the Leuze multiNet plus.
