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 558i at persons!

When mounting and aligning the BCL 558i, avoid reflections of the laser beam off
reflective surfaces!

The BCL 558i bar code 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 558i 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 bar code reader. There are no user­serviceable 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 bar code
reader has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If, however, a stationary beam is
emitted, the failing bar code reader should be disconnected from its power source
immediately.

3 Fast commissioning / operating principle

Below you will find a short description for the initial commissioning of the BCL 558i. Detailed
explanations for all listed points can be found throughout this technical description.

3.1 Mounting the BCL 558i

The BCL 558i bar code readers can be mounted in 3 different ways:

• 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.

3.2 Device 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 bar codes on the objects to be
scanned.

• The reading field of the BCL 558i in relation to the bar code module width.

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

• The permissible cable lengths between the BCL 558i and the host system depending
on which interface is used.

• The correct time for data output. The BCL 558i should be positioned in such a way
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 558i 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 558i is mounted in such a way that the scanning beam is incident on the bar
code at an angle of inclination greater than ±10° … 15° to vertical.

• 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.

• You do not use high-gloss labels.

• There is no direct sunlight.

USB socket of Type A.

Figure 3.1: Connections of the BCL 558i

Voltage supply and switching inputs/outputs

The voltage supply (10 … 30 VDC) is connected at the PWR M12 connector.

Available at both the PWR M12 connector as well as at the SW IN/OUT M12 socket are
four freely programmable switching inputs/outputs for custom adaptation to the respec­tive application. Detailed information on this topic can be found in chapter 7.2.

Standalone operation in Ethernet network

During stand-alone operation of the BCL 558i, the host interface of the superior system is
connected to HOST/BUS IN. Thus, a star structure (Ethernet structure) is possible. Please
be certain to select the correct protocol for the connected components.

Network operation in Ethernet network

In network operation, the superior system (PC/PLC) is connected to the host interface of
the BCL 558i. With the aid of the "switch" integrated in the BCL 558i, the bus connection
to the next participant, e.g. another BCL 558i, can occur directly via the BUS OUT socket!

Notice!

The BCL 558i does not have its own built-in DHCP server. Please make certain that each
participant in the Ethernet has its own unique IP address. This can be set by a DHCP server
in the primary system or through manual address assignment.

14 BCL 558i Leuze electronic

3.4 Starting the device

 Connect the supply voltage +10 … 30VDC (typ. +24 VDC); the BCL 558i starts up and

the bar code reading window appears on the display:

As a first step, you need to set the communication parameters of the BCL 558i.

You can make the necessary settings via the display or via the webConfig tool. Provided
here is only a brief description of the settings via the webConfig tool; detailed information
can be found in chapter 10.

ENIP

3.4.1 BCL 558i 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. Transferring the data to the control

4. Adapting the device parameters via webConfig

5. Use explicit messaging services

Notice!

On delivery, the automatic address assignment via DHCP server is defined as the standard
setting of the BCL 558i and the IP address is set to 0.0.0.0.

The BCL 558i can be configured in the planning tool/control using the EDS file (Electronic
Data Sheet) 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 Ethernet
module. In this case, the respective configuration must be entered and adapted manually
for each device. The parameter download from the control to the BCL 558i is performed
during every establishment of connection. Since the parameters are stored centrally in the
control, this helps during device exchange.

By default, parameter enabling is deactivated and you
cannot change any settings. If you wish to carry out the
configuration via the display, you must activate parameter
enabling. Further information can be found in chapter
"Parameter enabling" on page 103.

The input mask for the generic module describes the following parameters to be set:

• The name of the participant (can be selected freely; e.g. BCL 558i)

• The format of I/O data (data - SINT = 8 bits)

• The IP address of the participant

• The address and length of the input assembly (instance 100, instance 101 or instance
102; min 1 byte - up to max. 266 bytes for the default input assembly of the read
results)

• The address and length of the output assembly (instance 120, instance 121 or
instance 122; min 1 byte - up to max. 263 bytes for the default output assembly)

• The address and length of the configuration assembly (instance 190; 3 bytes)

Line scanner with deflection mirror

4.1 About the bar code readers of the BCL 500i series

Bar code readers of the BCL 500i series are high-speed scanners with integrated decoder
for all commonly used bar codes, e.g. 2/5 Interleaved, Code 39, Code 128, EAN 8/13 etc.,
as well as codes from the GS1 DataBar family.

Bar code readers of the BCL 500i series are available in various optics models as well as
line scanners, line scanners with deflection mirrors, oscillating mirrors and also optionally
as heated models.

Notice!

Please note: the BCL 558i line scanner with deflection mirror (perpendicular beam
exit) is currently not available.

Figure 4.1: Line scanner, line scanner with deflection mirror and oscillating-mirror scanner

The extensive options for device configuration via display or software enable adaptation to
a multitude of reading tasks. Due to the large reading distance combined with the great
depth of field and a very compact construction, the device is ideally suited for package and

20 BCL 558i Leuze electronic

pallet transportation systems. In general, the bar code readers of the BCL 500i series are
designed for the conveyor and storage technology market.

The interfaces (RS 232, RS 485 and RS 422) integrated in the various device models and
the fieldbus systems (PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET-IO, Ethernet TCP/IP / UDP and
EtherNet/IP) of the BCL 500i series bar code readers offer optimum connection to the supe­rior host system.

General information

The integrated fieldbus connectivity = i contained in the bar code readers of the BCL 500i
series facilitates the use of identification systems which function without connector unit or
gateways. The integrated fieldbus interface considerably simplifies handling. 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 bar codes, the bar code readers of the BCL 500i series make available the
proven CRT decoder with code fragment technology:

Leuze electronic BCL 558i 21

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

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

Figure 4.2: Possible bar code orientation

The BCL 558i can be operated and configured using the integrated webConfig tool via the
USB service interface; alternatively, the bar code readers can be adjusted using configura­tion commands via the host/service interface.

The BCL 558i 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 558i for the read
process during which the bar code reader has time to detect and decode a bar code.

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 558i collects additional useful pieces of 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 558i as well as for visu­alization 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 558i or external devices, such as a
PLC.

System, warning and error messages provide assistance in setup/troubleshooting during
commissioning and read operation.

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 bar code
is automatically 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 scanning distance is large.

Figure 4.4: Deflection principle for the line scanner

24 BCL 558i Leuze electronic

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 558i can also scan
larger areas or spaces for bar codes. 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 bar code are printed perpendicular to the conveying direction
('picket fence arrangement').

• when reading stationary objects.

• when the bar code is turned out of the horizontal position.

• when the scanning distance is large.

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

Leuze electronic BCL 558i 25

TNT 35/7-24V

4.4.3 Omnidirectional reading

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

Figure 4.6: Principle arrangement for omnidirectional reading

26 BCL 558i Leuze electronic

4.5 Fieldbus systems

Various product variants of the BCL 500i series are available for connecting to different
fieldbus systems such as PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET-IO, Ethernet and EtherNet/IP.

4.5.1 EtherNet/IP

The BCL 558i 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 an EDS
file which, depending on the version of the control software, can be used to configure and
integrate the BCL 558i into the system. A fixed MAC ID is assigned to each BCL 558i by the
manufacturer; this ID cannot be changed.

The BCL 558i automatically supports the transmission rates of 10 Mbit/s (10Base T) and
100 Mbit/s (100Base TX), as well as auto-negotiation and auto-crossover.

The electrical connection of the supply voltage, the interface and the switching inputs/
outputs on the BCL 558i is performed via several M12 connectors.

Additional information on the electrical connection can be found in chapter 7.
The BCL 558i supports the following protocols and services:

• EtherNet/IP

•DHCP

•HTTP

•ARP

•PING

• Telnet

• BootP

Notice!
The BCL 558i communicates via the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP).

CIP Safety, CIP Sync and CIP Motion are not supported by the BCL 558i.

The innovative further development of the BCL 558i with integrated switch functionality
offers the option of connecting multiple bar code readers of type BCL 558i to one another
without direct connection to a switch. In addition to the classic "star topology", a "linear
topology" is thus also possible.

Figure 4.8: Ethernet with linear topology

Each participant in this network requires its own unique IP address which is assigned to it
via the DHCP process. Alternatively, the address can be permanently assigned to it manu­ally via BootP or webConfig tool.

The maximum length of a segment (connection from the hub to the last participant) is limited
to 100m.

Notice!

4.6 Heater

USB memory stick

For low-temperature applications to min. -35°C (e.g. in cold storage), the bar code readers
of the BCL 558i series can optionally be permanently fitted with a built-in heating and these
bar code readers purchased as separate device models.

4.7 External parameter memory

The optionally available external parameter memory –
based on a USB memory stick (compatible with
version 1.1) – is housed in an external hood with
integrated connectors which cover the USB service
interface when installed (IP 65).

By having available a copy of the current parameter
set of the BCL 558i, the external parameter memory
makes it easy and reduces the time needed to replace
the BCL 558i on site. A manual configuration of the
exchanged device is thereby omitted.

The procedure for transferring the configuration with
the aid of the external parameter memory is described
on page 152.

The delivery contents of the external parameter memory include the hood with integrated
connectors with unscrewable cover and the USB memory stick.

Figure 4.9: External parameter memory

Notice!

To mount, the cover of the service interface must be unscrewed. Then take the USB memory
stick and plug it into the USB connection on the BCL 558i. Then, take the connector hood
of the USB memory stick and screw this over the plugged-in USB memory stick to the service
interface to close the system and ensure protection class IP 65.

30 BCL 558i Leuze electronic

4.8 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 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.

Notice!

You will find a matching reflector in Accessories, and more are available on request.

Figure 4.10: 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.

Leuze electronic BCL 558i 31

TNT 35/7-24V

4.9 Reference codes

The BCL 558i 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
webConfig tool or via online commands.

The BCL 558i can compare read bar codes with one and/or both reference codes and
execute user-configurable functions depending on the comparison result.

4.10 autoConfig

With the autoConfig function, the BCL 558i offers the user who only wishes to simultane­ously read one code type (symbology) with one number of digits an extremely simple and
convenient configuration option.

After starting the autoConfig function via the display, switching input or from a superior
control, it is sufficient to position a bar code label with the desired code type and number
of digits in the reading field of the BCL 558i.

Afterward, bar codes with the same code type and number of digits are recognized and
decoded.

5.2 Heating models of the bar code readers

The BCL 558i 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 558i to -35 °C

• Supply voltage 24VDC ±20 %

• BCL 558i enabling through an internal temperature switch
(switch-on delay about 30 min 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 558i, 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 558i 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.

36 BCL 558i Leuze electronic

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.

Electrical connection

The required core cross-section of the connection cable for the voltage supply must be at
least 0.75 mm².

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 scanner with heating typically consumes 40 W 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.

Bar 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 5.4: The most important characteristics of a bar code

The range in which the bar code can be read by the BCL 558i (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.

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.

Reading field width [mm]

The reading field curves of the heating devices differ to some extent from the normal reading
curves due to the optics heating and are somewhat reduced in the reading field width as
well as in the reading field height!

• The maximum opening angle for all oscillating and deflection mirror devices
(BCL 558i…100 H) is reduced to ±28° (without heating = ±30°).

• In addition, the maximum swivel range for all oscillating mirror devices
(BCL 558i O…100 H) is reduced to ±12° (without heating = ±20°). The deflection
mirror models (BCL 558i S…100 H) are not affected by this limitation.

• The reading field curves and opening angles are unchanged for all line scanners with
heating (BCL 558i S…102 H).

For details, please refer to the following reading field curves for the heating devices.

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 bar codes on the objects to be scanned.

• The reading field of the BCL 558i in relation to the bar code module width.

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

• The permissible cable lengths between the BCL 558i and the host system depending
on which interface is used.

• The correct time for data output. The BCL 558i should be positioned in such a way
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 558i 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 558i is mounted in such a way that the scanning beam is incident on the bar
code at an angle of inclination greater than ±10° … 15° to vertical.

• 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.

• You do not use high-gloss labels.

• There is no direct sunlight.

°

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!

Figure 6.6: Total reflection – line scanner

6.3.3 Avoiding total reflection – oscillating/deflection-mirror scanner

For the BCL 558i with oscillating/deflection mirror, the laser beam exits at an angle of 90°
to vertical.

For the BCL 558i with deflection mirror, it is also possible to use software to adjust the
direction of the beam by ±10°.

For the BCL 558i 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 558i
with oscillating/deflection mirror must be inclined upward or downward 20° … 30°!

Notice!

Mount the BCL 558i with oscillating/deflection 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°.

The BCL 558i should be mounted in such a way that the scanning
beam is incident on the bar code at an angle of inclinatio n greater
than ±25° to vertical.

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 558i by mechanical collision or jammed
parts.

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

6.3.5 Devices with integrated heating

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

• Mount the BCL 558i 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 558i in a protective housing, it must be ensured that the scanning
beam can exit the protective housing without obstruction.

72 BCL 558i Leuze electronic

6.3.6 Possible read angles between BCL 558i and bar code

The optimum alignment of the BCL 558i 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 bar code must be taken account (figure 6.8).

Figure 6.8: Reading angle for the line scanner

 Tilt
 Angle of inclination (Pitch)
 Skew

In order to avoid total reflection, the skew  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 558i, attach them instead in the immediate vicinity of the BCL 558i 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 558i with a soft cloth after mounting. Remove all p ack-

aging remains, e.g. carton fibers or Styrofoam balls. In doing so, avoid leaving fingerprints
on the front cover of the BCL 558i.

To set up an Ethernet network with other participants with linear topology, the BCL 558i
makes available another Ethernet interface. The use of this interface drastically reduces the
cabling requirements, as only the first BCL 558i requires a direct connection to the switch,
via which it can communicate with the host. All other BCL 558i are connected in series to

The BCL 558i can be operated as a single device (stand-alone) in an Ethernet star topology
with individual IP address.

The IP address can either be set permanently via the display or webConfig tool or assigned
dynamically via a DHCP server.

Figure 7.8: Ethernet with star topology

The innovative further development of the BCL 558i with integrated switch functionality
offers the option of networking multiple bar code readers of type BCL 558i with one another.
In addition to the classic "star topology", a "linear topology" is thus also possible.

This makes wiring the network easy and inexpensive as slaves are looped through to one
another in parallel.

The maximum length of a segment (connection from the hub to the last participant) is limited
to 100m.

Figure 7.9: Ethernet with linear topology

Up to 254 bar code readers can be networked. For this purpose, each participating BCL 558i
is assigned the respective network address via the display and the control panel or the
webConfig tool. This address must be specified by the network administrator. Alternatively,
the BCL 558i can also be configured as a DHCP client and then automatically receive its
address from a DHCP server.

Information on the necessary configuration steps can be found in chapter 10.

84 BCL 558i Leuze electronic

7.3.1 Ethernet wiring

A Cat. 5 Ethernet cable should be used for wiring.

For the connection on the BCL 558i, 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 558i, see table 13.9 "Bus
connection cables for the BCL 558i" on page 180.

The individual BCL 558i devices in a linear topology are connected with the
"KB ET - … - SSA" cable, see table 13.9 "Bus connection cables for the BCL 558i" on
page 180.

For unavailable line lengths, you can configure your cables yourself. When doing so, make
certain that you connect TD+ on the M12 connector with RD+ on the RJ-45 connector and
TD- on the M12 connector with RD- on the RJ-45 connector, respectively, etc.

Notice!

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