3.1Device overview
3.1.1General information
The BPS bar code positioning system uses visible red laser light to determine its position and its speed
value relative to a bar code tape that is affixed along the travel path. This takes place in the following steps:
• Read a code on the bar code tape (see figure 3.1)
• Determine the position of the read code in the scanning beam
• Calculate the position to within less than a millimeter using the code information and the code position relative to the device's center.
The position and speed values are then output to the controller via the host interface.
The BPS consists of device housing and interface connection hood for the connection to the control. The
BPS can optionally be delivered with display and optics heating.
The following connection hoods are available for the connection of the RS 485 interface:
• MS 301 connection hood with M12 connectors
• MK 301 connection hood with spring-cage terminals
• KB 301 connection hood with cable

3.1.2Performance characteristics
The most important performance characteristics of the bar code positioning system:
• Positioning with submillimeter accuracy from 0 to 10,000 m
• For the control at high traverse rates of up to 10 m/s
• Simultaneous position and speed measurement
• Working range: 50 to 170 mm; enables flexible mounting positions
• Binary inputs and outputs for control and process monitoring
• Configuration via webConfig tool or fieldbus
• Diagnostics via webConfig tool or optional display
• Optional model with display
• Optional model with heating for use to -35 °C
3.1.3Accessories
Special accessories are available for the bar code positioning system. The accessories are optimally
matched to the BPS:
• Highly flexible, scratch-, smudge- and UV-resistant bar code tape
• Mounting devices for precise mounting with one screw (easy-mount)
• Modular connection technology via connection hoods with M12 connectors, spring-cage terminals or
with cable.
Device description
3.1.4Device model with heating
The bar code positioning system is optionally available as a model with integrated heating. In this case,
heating is permanently installed ex works.
NOTICE
No self-installation of the heating!
Self-installation of the heating on-site by the user is not possible.
The heating consists of two parts:
• Front cover heater
• Housing heater
Features of the integrated heating:
• Extends the application range of the BPS to -35 °C
• Supply voltage 18 … 30 VDC
• BPS release through an internal temperature switch (start-up delay of about 30 min for 24 V DC and
minimum ambient temperature of -35 °C)
• Required conductor cross-section for the power supply: At least 0.75 mm
NOTICE
Do not use ready-made cables!
It is not possible to use ready-made cables.
The current consumption of the BPS is too high for the ready-made cables.
2
Function
When the supply voltage is applied to the BPS, a temperature switch initially only supplies the heating with
current (front cover heater and housing heater). During the heating phase (around 30 min), when the
inside temperature rises above 15 °C, the temperature switch connects the BPS to the supply voltage. This
is followed by the self test and the changeover to read operation. The PWR LED lights up, showing overall
readiness for operation.
Leuze electronicBPS 301i13
When the inside temperature reaches approx. 18 °C, another temperature switch turns the housing heater
1

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.
3.2Connection technology
For the electrical connection of the BPS, the following connection variants are available:
• MS 301 connection hood with M12 connectors
• MK 301 connection hood with spring-cage terminals
• KB 301 connection hood with cable
The voltage supply (18 … 30 VDC) is connected acc. to the connection type selected.
Two freely programmable switching inputs/switching outputs for individual adaptation to the respective
application are also available here.

3.4Bar code tape
3.4.1General information
The bar code tape is available in different variants:
• BCB bar code tape with 40 mm grid
Code128 with character set C, increasing in increments of 4 (e.g., 000004, 000008, … )
• Bar code tape BCB8 with 30 mm grid
Code128 with character set C, increasing in increments of 3 (e.g. 000003, 000006, … )
A bar code tape consists of a sequence of individual position labels in one of the two grids. Defined cut
marks are provided for cutting the BCB.
The bar code tape is delivered on a roll. A roll contains up to 200 m of BCB, with the wrapping direction
from the outside to the inside (smallest number on the outside). If more than 200 m of BCB is ordered, the
total length is divided into rolls of 200 m.
Bar code tapes with special requirements with respect to height, length and value range can be ordered
from Leuze electronic (see chapter 14.6 "Bar code tapes").
NOTICE
Value range for BCB with special requirements!
When ordering bar code tapes with special requirements, make certain that the value range contains
only values that are divisible by three (BCB8 with 30 mm grid) or four (BCB with 40 mm grid).
It may otherwise not be possible to purchase and use repair tapes.

Distance between two control bar codes!
Make certain that there is only one control bar code (or marker label) in the scanning beam at a time.
The minimum distance between two control bar codes is determined by the distance between the BPS
and bar code tape and the resulting length of the scanning beam.
The control bar codes are simply affixed over the existing bar code tape.
A control bar code should cover an entire position bar code and must have the correct grid dimension (see
figure 3.12):
• 30 mm with BCB8 bar code tapes
• 40 mm with BCB bar code tapes
Keep the gap between the BCBs that are switched between as small as possible.

If the minimum distance between the bar code values is not maintained, position determination may
be faulty.
• The end of the preceding bar code tape and the start of the subsequent bar code tape can end and
begin, respectively, with completely different position bar codes.
• BCB changeover by means of a control bar code always occurs at the same position, i.e., it serves to
change from the preceding tape to the subsequent tape and vice versa.
• If the center of the BPS reaches the transition point of the control bar code, the device switches to
the second BCB, provided the next position label is in the BPS's scanning beam (see figure 3.13).
The output position value is thereby always uniquely assigned to one BCB.

Because they are manufactured jointly, both tapes have the same length tolerance. As a result, differences
in length and code position are minimal. By having the same code position on both tapes, improved
synchronization can be achieved during positioning compared to bar code tapes that are manufactured
separately.

Twin tapes are always delivered in pairs on two rolls.
If twin tapes are replaced, both tapes are to be replaced.
Twin tapes can be ordered from Leuze electronic (see chapter 14.6 "Bar code tapes").

4Functions
This chapter describes the functions of the BPS and the parameters for adaptation to the respective application conditions and requirements.
The parameters are set via the webConfig tool; see chapter 9 "Leuze electronic webConfig tool –
Extended configuration".
Main functions:
• Position measurement
• Speed measurement
The following parameters are relevant for the timing of the position and speed measurement:
• Measurement value preparation
Configurable response time
The output value of the position measurement is calculated from the measurement and the settings for
resolution, preset, offset, etc.
The most important individual parameters for the position measurement are:
Functions
ParameterDescriptionRange/Values
Position resolutionThe parameter specifies the resolution of the position value.
It acts only on the host interface.
The resolution has no effect on the set parameter values
such as offset or preset.
UnitThe parameter specifies the measurement unit of the mea-
sured position and speed.
The selection of the measurement unit affects all parameters with measurement units.
OffsetThe offset is used to correct the position value by a fixed
amount.
If the offset is activated, the offset is added to the position
value. This yields a new output value:
Output value = position value + offset
PresetLike the offset, the preset is used to correct the position
value.
With preset, a preset value is specified. The value is
accepted during a corresponding event (switching input or
fieldbus).
If the preset is activated, this has priority over the offset.

5Applications
Wherever systems are moved automatically, it is necessary to uniquely determine their respective positions. In addition to mechanical measuring sensors, optical methods are particularly well suited for position
determination as they can be used to determine position without mechanical wear and slippage.
Compared to common optical measurement techniques, the Leuze electronic Bar code Positioning
System (BPS) is able to measure a position with absolute sub-millimeter accuracy, i.e. independent of
reference points. As a result, it is able to provide a unique position value at any time. With the highly flexible
and hard-wearing Bar Code Tape (BCB), the system can even be used without problem in systems with
curves or guide tolerances. And this at lengths of up to 10,000 meters.
The product family of Leuze electronic bar code positioning systems convinces with a variety of advantages:
• The laser simultaneously scans three bar codes and, as a result, is able to determine the position
with sub-millimeter accuracy. The wide reading field makes accurate position determination possible
even in the event of minor damage to the tape.
• With the systems' flexible depth of field, it is also possible to bridge over mechanical deviations.
• Due to the large reading distance combined with the great depth of field, a large opening angle and a
very compact construction, the device is ideally suited for the conveyor and storage technology market.
• The BPS devices are capable of simultaneously measuring position and speed and are thus also
suitable for control tasks in your automation applications.
• Using a mounting device, the BPS can be mounted with millimeter accuracy with just one screw. If
mounted using a mounting device, a new device is automatically aligned correctly should it be necessary to exchange a device (easy-mount).
• The unique labeling of the bar code tape allows the system to be put back into operation without
problem even after a brief voltage drop without, e.g., needing to utilize a reference point.
• The Leuze electronic bar code tape is very robust, highly flexible and, thanks to the self-adhesive
back, can be easily integrated into your overall mechanical system. It can be fit optimally to both vertical as well as horizontal curved paths and thereby reliably facilitates trouble-free and reproducible
measurement at any point in your system with sub-millimeter accuracy.
Applications
Typical applications for the BPS include:
• High-bay storage device (see chapter 5.1)
• Telpher line (see chapter 5.2)
• Gantry cranes (see chapter 5.3)

6.1.1Installation and application remarks
NOTICE
BCB mounting
When processing BCBs, observe the specified processing temperatures.
When processing BCBs in cold storage facilities, the BCB must be affixed before cooling the storage
facility.
However, if it should be necessary to affix the BCB at temperatures outside of the specified processing
temperature, assure that the bonding surface as well as the BCB are at the processing temperature.
Avoid dirt deposits on the BCB.
If possible, affix the BCB vertically.
If possible, affix the BCB below an overhead covering.
The BCB must never be continuously cleaned by on-board cleaning devices such as brushes or
sponges. Permanent on-board cleaning devices polish the BCB and give it a glossy finish. The reading
quality deteriorates as a result.
After affixing the BCBs, make certain that there are no polished, high-gloss surfaces in the scanning
beam (e.g., glossy metal at gaps between the individual BCBs), as the measurement quality of the
BPS may be impaired.
Affix the BCBs to a diffusely reflective support, e.g., a painted surface.
Avoid sources of extraneous light and reflections on the BCB.
Ensure that neither strong sources of extraneous light nor reflections of the support on which the BCB
is affixed occur in the vicinity of the BPS scanning beam.
Affix the BCB over expansion joints up to a width of several millimeters.
The BCB must not be interrupted at this location.
Cover protruding screw heads with the BCB.
Ensure that the BCB is affixed without tension.
The BCB is a plastic tape that can be stretched by strong mechanical tension. Excessive mechanical
stretching results in lengthening of the tape and distortion of the position values.
Mounting and installation
NOTICE
BCB application
Make certain that the BCB is located in the scanning beam of the BPS over the entire traversing path.
The BPS can determine the position on BCBs with arbitrary orientation.
Bar code tapes with different value ranges may not directly follow one another.
In the case of different value ranges, a gap of at least 1 m must be maintained between the last position
bar code of the preceding BCB and the first position bar code of the subsequent BCB (see
chapter 3.4.2).
For
MVS/MV0
position bar code before the control bar code and the first position bar code after the control bar code
must be maintained.
For bar code tapes with different value ranges, both BCBs must correspond to the BCB type config-
ured in the BPS (see chapter 3.4.1).

NOTICE
No glossy gaps in the cut bar code tape!
Ensure that there are matt, bright surfaces behind the gaps in the BCB.
Polished, reflective, and high-gloss surfaces in the scanning beam may impair the measurement quality of the BPS.
6.1.3Mounting the BCB
Mount the BCB as follows:
Check the surface.
It must be flat, free of grease and dust, and be dry.
Define a reference edge (e.g., metal edge of the busbar).
Remove the backing and affix the BCB along the reference edge tension free.
Secure the bar code tape to the mounting surface by pressing down with the palm of your hand.
When affixing, make certain that the BCB is free of folds and creases and that no air pockets form.
NOTICE
When mounting, do not pull on the BCB!
The BCB is a plastic tape that can be stretched by strong mechanical tension. The stretching results
in lengthening of the tape and distortion of the position values on the BCB.
While the BPS can still perform the position calculation in the event of distortions, the absolute measurement accuracy is no longer ensured in this case. If the values are taught using a teach-in process,
stretching of the BCB is irrelevant.
If a bar code tape was damaged, e.g., by falling parts, you can download a repair kit for the BCB
from the Internet (see chapter 11.2.2 "BCB repair with repair kit").
Use the bar code tape created with the repair kit only temporarily as an emergency solution.

6.2.1Mounting instructions
300 mm
NOTICE
Select the mounting location.
Make certain that the required environmental conditions (humidity, temperature) are maintained.
Make certain that the distance between BPS and bar code tape is sufficiently large.
The scanning beam of the BPS should cover three or more bar codes.
The distance between BPS and bar code tape must be in the working range of the reading field curve.
Make certain that the exit window does not become soiled, e.g., by leaking liquids, abrasion from card-
board packaging or residues from packaging material.
Mounting the BPS outdoors or with BPS with integrated heating:
Mount the BPS in a way which provides maximum thermal isolation, e.g., using rubber-bonded metal.
Mount the BPS so that it is protected from airflow, e.g., in a protective housing.
Mounting the BPS in a protective housing:
When installing the BPS in a protective housing, ensure that the scanning beam can exit the protective
housing without obstruction.
Make certain that the scanning range determined from the scanning curve is adhered to at all locations
where a position determination is to be made.
Ensure that the scanning beam is always incident on the BCB when the system is moving.
For the position calculation, the scanning beam of the BPS must be incident on the BCB without interruption.
For the best functionality, the BPS must be guided parallel to the BCB. It is not permitted to move outside of the approved working range of the BPS (50 … 170 mm) while the system is in motion.
Make certain that there is only one control bar code (or marker label) in the scanning beam at a time.
The minimum distance between two control bar codes is determined by the distance between the BPS
and bar code tape and the resulting length of the scanning beam.

and SWIO2.
• The switching inputs can be used to activate various internal functions of the BPS (e.g., Measurement Stop/Start, Teach Preset, Reset Preset).
• The switching outputs can be used to signal the state of the BPS and to implement external functions
independent of the superior control (e.g. position value/speed value invalid, position and speed limit
value exceeded, device error).

8.7Communication protocol (RS binary protocol)
The RS binary protocol consists of three bytes of request telegram and seven or nine bytes of response
telegram.
Request telegram
The request for transmitting the measured positions or the speed is controlled via a request telegram that
is three bytes long.
The BPS processes the three bytes of the request telegram, checks the XOR link and executes the func-
tion specified in the command byte.

• Byte 2: XOR link of byte 0 and byte 1
An odd number of binary 1 values – calculated column by column from top to bottom – sets the XOR
bit to
1
.
The XOR checksum is entered by the sender (control) in the request protocol and checked by the receiver
(BPS). A protocol is correctly transferred if the XOR checksum of the transmitter and the XOR checksum
of the receiver are the same. If the XOR comparison is negative (different checksums), the protocol is not
accepted by the BPS. The BPS does not send acknowledgment for an unequal checksum.
Response telegram for commands 0xF1 to 0xF6 and 0xFA to 0xFC
In the response telegram to commands 0xF1 to 0xF6 and 0xFA to 0xFC, the BPS transfers the available
status information and the requested data in a seven-byte length.
For commands 0xFA to 0xFC, the response only contains three bytes of user data, i.e., byte 2 is always
transferred with 0x00 and the user data is located in byte 3 to byte 5.

Timing functions of the switching inputs/outputs
The timing functions (e.g., start-up delay) can only be configured with the webConfig tool.
• Start-up delay
With this setting, the output pulse is delayed by the specified time (in ms).
• Switch-on time
Defines the switch-on time period for the switching input. Any activated switch-off function then no
longer has any function.
If the output is deactivated via the switch-off signal before the start-up delay lapses, only a brief pulse
appears at the output following the start-up delay.
• Debounce time
Parameter for setting the software debounce time for the switching input. The definition of a
debounce time extends the signal transition time accordingly.
If this parameter has the value
to the time (in ms) that the input signal must be present and stable.

11.2.2 BCB repair with repair kit
NOTICE
Do not use the BCB repair kit on a permanent basis!
Use the bar code tape created with the repair kit only temporarily as an emergency solution.
The optical and mechanical properties of the self-printed bar code tape do not correspond to those of
the original bar code tape.
Self-printed bar code tape should not remain in the system on a permanent basis.
Repair bar code tapes in lengths of 1 m can be ordered from Leuze electronic on request.
If a bar code tape was damaged, e.g., by falling parts, you can download a repair kit for the BCB from the
Internet.
www.leuze.com > Products > Measuring Sensors > Sensors for Positioning > BPS 300i > (Name of the
BPS) > Tab Downloads > Repair kit.
In the repair kit files, you will find all position values with 30 mm grid and 40 mm grid.
Layout:
• BCB8: 0.9 m of bar code tape is provided on each A4 sheet.
Five lines of 18 cm with six code-information segments of 30 mm each
Tape lengths: 0 … 500 m, 500 … 1000 m, 1000 … 1500 m … 2500 … 3000 m
• BCB: 1 m of bar code tape is provided on each A4 sheet.
Five lines of 20 cm with five code-information sections of 40 mm each
Tape lengths: 0 … 500 m, 500 … 1000 m, 1000 … 1500 m and 1500 … 2000 m

NOTICE
Printing coding
Select only those pages that are actually required.
Change the printer settings so that the bar code is not distorted.
Check the print results and measure the distance between two bar codes (see figure 11.1 and see
figure 11.2):
BCB: 40 mm
BCB8: 30 mm
Cut the code strips and arrange them next to one another. The code content must always increase or
decrease in increments of 30 mm or 40 mm.
Check that the printed values increase by 3 or 4.
