Below you will find a short description for the initial commissioning of the BCL 504i. Detailed
explanations for all listed points can be found throughout this technical description.
3.1Mounting the BCL 504
There are two different types of mounting arrangements for the BCL 504i:
• Using two M4x6 screws on the rear of the device or using four M4x6 screws on the
bottom of the device.
• Using a BT 56 mounting device on the two fastening grooves.
i
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 barcodes on the objects to be
scanned.
i
• The reading field of the BCL 504
• 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 504
on which interface is used.
• The correct time for data output. The BCL 504
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 4.4.
Notice!
The beam exits the BCL 504i 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 504i is 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 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.

3.4.1Setting the device address on the display
The display of the BCL 504i possesses an important function for setting the PROFIBUS
address. The PROFIBUS address is set here, i.e. the respective station number of the
network device.
Notice!
The address setting can only be performed via the display if parameter enabling is active.
Information on this topic can be found in chapter "Parameter enabling" on page 93.
The set address must be > ≥0 and < 126. Each network device is thereby automatically
informed that it is a slave on the PROFIBUS with its specific address and that it is initialised
and queried by the PLC.
The PROFIBUS permits an address range from 0 to 126. Address 126 must not be used for
data communication. It may only be used temporarily for commissioning. The default
address is 126.
The address must be assigned individually for each barcode reader of type BCL 504
can be performed by making entries on the display or with the webConfig tool.
Notice!
The BCL 504i does not permit address assignment via the PROFIBUS!
To set the address via the display, proceed as follows:

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 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.

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 504
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.

4.4.3Omnidirectional reading
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.
