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 504i at persons!
When mounting and aligning the BCL 504i, avoid reflections of the laser beam off reflective surfaces!
The BCL 504i barcode readers comply with safety standards EN 60825-1 for a class 2
product. They also comply with the U.S. 21 CFR 1040.10 regulations for a class II laser product except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50, dated July 26,
2001.
Radiant Energy: The BCL 504i uses a low power visible laser diode. The emitted
wavelength is 655nm. The average laser power is less than 1mW in accordance with
the definition of class 2 lasers.
Adjustments: Do not attempt any adjustments to or alterations of this product.
Do not remove the protective housing of the barcode reader. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
The scanner window is the only aperture through which light may be observed on this
product. A failure of the scanner motor, while the laser diode continues to emit a laser
beam, may cause emission levels to exceed those for safe operation. The barcode
reader has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If, however, a stationary beam is
emitted, the failing barcode reader should be disconnected from its power source immediately.
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
specified herein may result in hazardous light exposure.

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.

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.

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.

4.8autoReflAct
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.
Figure 4.9: 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.
4.9Reference codes
The BCL 504i offers the possibility of storing one or two reference codes.
It is possible to store the reference codes by means of teach-in (display command), via the

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

5.2Heating models of the barcode readers
The BCL 504i barcode 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 504
• Supply voltage 24V DC ±20 %
• BCL 504
(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 504i, 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 504
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.
Figure 5.4: The most important characteristics of a barcode
The range in which the barcode can be read by the BCL 504
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.
i

Notice!
A rule of thumb: The smaller the module of the barcode 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 barcodes on the objects to be
scanned.
• 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.

The BCL 504i 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 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.
6.3.2Avoiding 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

The BCL 504i 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 504i 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 504i with oscillating/deflection mirror
6.3.4Mounting location
ª
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 504i by mechanical collision or
jammed parts.
• Possible extraneous light (no direct sunlight or sunlight reflected by the barcode).
6.3.5Devices with integrated heating
ª
For devices with integrated heating, also observe the following points:
• Mount the BCL 504i 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 504i in a protective housing, it must be ensured that the scanning
beam can exit the protective housing without obstruction.

Installation and mounting
6.3.6Maximum permissible read angles between BCL 504i and barcode
The optimum alignment of the BCL 504i 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).
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 504i, attach them instead in the immediate vicinity of the BCL 504i in such a
way that it is not necessary to look into the laser beam when reading the notices!
6.5Cleaning
ª
Clean the glass window of the BCL 504i 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 504i.
Attention!
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as thinner or acetone for cleaning the device.

(EMC couplings) are discharged via the functional earth connection.
Switching input / output
The BCL 504i is equipped with four freely programmable, opto-decoupled switching inputs
and outputs SWIO_1 … SWIO_4.
The switching inputs can be used to activate various internal functions of the BCL 504
(decoding, autoConfig, …). The switching outputs can be used to signal the state of the
i
BCL 504
and to implement external functions independent of the primary control.
The two switching inputs/outputs SWIO_1 and SWIO_2 are located on the SW IN/OUT M12
socket and are described in chapter 7.2.3. The other two (SWIO_3 and SWIO_4) of the four
freely configurable switching inputs/outputs are located on the PWR M12 connector.
Notice!
In general, configuration of the barcode reader takes place on the PROFIBUS via the corresponding GSD file. Alternatively, you can temporarily set the respective function as input or
output via the display or with the aid of the webConfig configuration tool for the purpose of
testing the respective functionality. After reconnecting to the PROFIBUS or after deactivating parameter enabling, the parameter settings set by the PROFIBUS are again active!

A detailed description of the individual parameters can be found in the description of the
PROFIBUS GSD modules (see chapter 10.5 "Overview of the project modules").
Attention!
If parameters are changed via the display during bus operation, the BCL 504i is separated
from the PROFIBUS at the moment parameter enabling is activated via the display. Parameters set by the PROFIBUS are moved to the background, and changes to parameters can
be made via the display. When parameter enabling is exited, the BCL 504i is automatically
reconnected to the PROFIBUS. Upon connection to the PROFIBUS, the BCL 504i receives
all parameters from the PROFIBUS master.
Changes made via the display are overwritten!
Device settings for operating the BCL 504i on the PROFIBUS are managed and configured exclusively by the PROFIBUS master.

Press the ESC button twice to return to the main menu.
Attention!
The BCL 504i is deactivated on the PROFIBUS if parameter enabling is activated via the
display. The device is reactivated on the PROFIBUS after parameter enabling is exited.
Notice!
In the PROFIBUS network, configuration is performed exclusively via the PROFIBUS.
Parameters set via the display when operating the BCL 504i on the PROFIBUS are overwritten by the parameters set in the GSD modules. For GSD modules which are not actively
used on the PROFIBUS, the default settings of the barcode reader apply, see "Overview of
the project modules" on page 112. Thus, the PROFIBUS presets values to all parameters.

Attention!
If parameters are changed via the display during bus operation, the BCL 504i is separated
from the PROFIBUS at the moment parameter enabling is activated via the display. Parameters set by the PROFIBUS are moved to the background, and changes to parameters can
be made via the display. When parameter enabling is exited, the BCL 504i is automatically
reconnected to the PROFIBUS. Upon connection to the PROFIBUS, the BCL 504i receives
all parameters from the PROFIBUS master.
Changes made via the display are overwritten!
Device settings for operating the BCL 504i on the PROFIBUS are managed and configured exclusively by the PROFIBUS master.
Attention!
When operating the BCL 504i on the PROFIBUS, the password entered in the display has
no effect. The PROFIBUS overwrites the password with the default settings.
If a password is desired for PROFIBUS operation, it must be configured via module 62 (see
"Module 62 – Display" on page 149).
Network configuration
Information on network configuration can be found in chapter "Commissioning and configuration" on page 100.
