4 Functions

General information The integrated fieldbus connectivity = i contained in the bar code readers of the BCL 600i series facilitates
the use of identification systems which function without connection unit or gateways. The integrated fieldbus interface considerably simplifies handling. The Plug-and-Play 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 600i series make available the proven CRT decoder with code reconstruction technology:
The proven code reconstruction technology (CRT) enables bar code readers of the BCL 600i 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).
Functions
Figure 4.1: Possible bar code orientation
The BCL 600i / BCL 601i 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 device 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 device 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 device 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 device 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 device or external devices, such as a PLC.
Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i 17
System, warning and error messages provide assistance in setup/troubleshooting during commissioning and read operation.

4.1 autoReflAct

autoReflAct st a nds 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.
You will find a matching reflector in Accessories, and more are available on request.
Functions
Figure 4.2: Reflector arrangement for autoReflAct
The autoReflAct function uses the scanning beam to simulate a photoelectric sensor and thus permits an activation without additional sensors.

4.2 Reference codes

The device 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 device can compare read bar codes with one and/or both reference codes and execute user-config-
urable functions depending on the comparison result.

4.3 autoConfig

With the autoConfig function, the device offers an extremely simple and convenient configuration option to users who only want to read one code type (symbology) with one number of digits at a time.
Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i 18
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 device.
Afterward, bar codes with the same code type and number of digits are recognized and decoded.

4.4 Stand-alone connection

The bar code readers of the BCL 600i series can be operated as single “stand-alone” devices. The device features multiple M 12 connectors / sockets for the electrical connection of the supply voltage, the interface and the switching inputs and outputs.

4.5 Networking - Leuze multiNet plus

In the Leuze multiNet plus network, up to 32 bar code readers can be networked together. The respective network devices transmit the read data when requested to by the BCL 600i (or MA 31) network master. For this purpose, each device is assigned its own station address, which is set using the display of the corresponding device.
The master then transmits the data of all network devices via its host interface to a superior 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.

Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i 19
Two-wire RS 485 The Leuze multiNet plus is optimized 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 looped through to one another in parallel.
In principle, networking occurs via a parallel connection of the individual RS 485 interfaces of the respec­tive bar code scanners. Shielded, twisted pair conductors should be used for the Leuze multiNet plus. This allows a total network length of up to 1200m.

4.6 Leuze multiScan

The multiScan operating mode is based on Leuze multiNet plus and links individual bar code readings from multiple bar code 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 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.
Thus, from the perspective of the host, the scanner network appears to be just a single bar code reader!
Functions
For this purpose one multiScan master and one or more multiScan slaves are connected together via the RS 485 interface.
Figure 4.5: Scanner arrangement with the multiScan function
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 multiScan 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).

4.7 Heater

For low-temperature applications to min. -35°C (e.g. in cold storage), the bar code readers of the BCL 600i series can optionally be permanently fitted with a built-in heating and these bar code readers purchased as separate device models.
Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i 20

5 Reading techniques

5.1 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 reconstruction 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 reading distance is large.
Reading techniques
Figure 5.1: Deflection principle for the line scanner

5.2 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 device 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 opening angle of the oscillating mirror.
Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i 21
Reading techniques
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 reading distance is large.
• when a large reading field (reading window) has to be covered.
Figure 5.2: Deflection principle for the line scanner with oscillating mirror add-on

5.3 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 reconstruction technology are necessary.
Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i 22
Figure 5.3: Principle arrangement for omnidirectional reading
Reading techniques
Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i 23

6 Mounting

The bar code readers can be mounted in different ways:
• Using two M4x6 screws on the rear of the device or using four M4x6 screws on the bottom of the device (see figure 3.2).
• Using a BT 56 mounting device on the two fastening grooves (see figure 15.3).
• Using a BT 59 mounting device on the two fastening grooves (see figure 15.4).

6.1 Device arrangement

6.1.1 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 device in relation to the bar code module width.
• The resulting minimum and maximum reading distance from the respective reading field (see chapter 15.5 "Reading field curves / optical data").
• The permissible cable lengths between the device and the host system depending on which interface is used.
• The correct time for data output. The device 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.
• 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 device by mechanical collision or jammed parts.
• Possible extraneous light (no direct sunlight or sunlight reflected by the bar code).
Mounting
With the line scanner, the beam exits the device parallel to the housing base; with the oscillating mirror, the beam exits perpendicular to the housing base. The housing base is the black surface.
The best read results are obtained when:
• The device 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.

6.1.2 Avoiding total reflection – Line scanner

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 6.1)!
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!

6.1.3 Avoiding total reflection – oscillating-mirror scanner

For the device with oscillating mirror, the laser beam exits at an angle of 90° to vertical. In addition, the swivel range of ±20° is to be taken into account. This means that in order to be on the safe side and to avoid total reflection, the device with oscillating mirror
must be inclined upward or downward 20° … 30°!

6.1.4 Possible read angles between device and bar code

The optimum alignment of the device is accomplished when the scan line scans the bar code bars almost at a right angle (90°). All reading angles that are possible between the scan line and bar code must be taken account (see figure 6.3).

Connecting functional earth FE
Ensure that the functional earth (FE) is connected correctly. Unimpaired operation is only guaranteed
when the functional earth is connected properly. All electrical disturbances (EMC couplings) are dis­charged via the functional earth connection.
Switching input/output The device 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 device (decoding, autoConfig,
…). The switching outputs can be used to signal the state of the device and to implement external functions independent of the superior control.
The two switching inputs/outputs SWIO_1 and SWIO_2 are located on the SW IN/OUT M 12 socket (see chapter 7.4). The other two (SWIO_3 and SWIO_4) of the four freely configurable switching inputs/outputs are located on the PWR M 12 connector.
The respective function as input or output can be set via the display or with the aid of the “webConfig” configuration tool!
The external wiring as switching input and switching output is described in the following. For the respective function assignment to the switching inputs/outputs see chapter 10.

Termination of the RS 485 interface on the master (BCL 600i) The RS 485 interface must always be terminated externally on the master via a T-connector and a termi-
nating resistor (see chapter 16 "Ordering information and accessories").
Termination of the RS 485 interface on the slave (BCL 600i) On the last network participant, the Leuze multiNet plus network (RS 485 interface) should be terminated
with a terminating resistor on the BUS OUT socket (see chapter 16 "Ordering information and accesso­ries").
Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i 35
The BCL 600i can only participate as a slave in the Leuze multiNet plus on the BUS OUT socket and via an external M 12 T-connector (see chapter 7.8.3 and see figure ).
Termination of the RS 485 interface (BCL 601i) The device operates as slave in the Leuze multiNet plus network. On the last physical participant, the
Leuze multiNet plus network (RS 485 interface) must be terminated with a terminating resistor (see chapter 16 "Ordering information and accessories"). This prevents reflections on the Leuze multiNet plus and improves the immunity to interference.

7.8 Leuze multiNet plus

The Leuze multiNet plus is optimized 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 multiNet plus software protocol is controlled.
This makes wiring the network easy and inexpensive as slaves are looped through to one another in parallel.

With the aid of a BCL 600i network master, up to 31 bar code readers can be networked. For this purpose, each participating device is assigned the respective station address via the display and the control panel. The devices are networked by connecting the individual RS 485 interfaces in parallel.
In the Leuze multiNet plus network, the individual network devices sequentially transfer their data to the BCL 600i network master when requested.
The BCL 600i master then transmits the data of all network devices via its host interface (either an RS 232 or RS 422) to a superior PLC control or to 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.

7.8.1 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 1200 m.
Recommended network cable (e.g. LiYCY 2x0.2 mm
• Twisted pairs, shielded
• Cross section: min. 0.2 mm
• Copper resistance <100 W/km
When wiring the network, note the following points:
The RS 485A, RS 485B and GND cables are looped through in the network and must not in any case
be misconnected; the Leuze multiNet plus network is otherwise not functional. It is recommended to wire through the GND of the RS 485 interface of the participants.
Connect the shielding to the slaves on one side with FE.
The maximum cable length in the network is 1200m.
The (physically) last slave in the network should be equipped with a terminating resistor of 220
between RS 485A and RS 485B. This prevents reflections on the multiNet plus and improves the immu­nity to interference.

Use the recommended connectors / sockets or the ready-made cables and terminating resistors (see chapter 16 "Ordering information and accessories").

7.8.2 The BCL 600i as network master

Master operation The BCL 600i bar code readers are specially designed for master operation in a network. They manage
the data of the slaves in multiNet plus and establish the connection to the superior host computer. Only a few parameters need to be set for master operation. Network commissioning can thus be performed in very little time (see chapter 10 "Starting up the device - Configuration").
Last slave address Unlike the slaves, the display of the BCL 600i is not used to set the network address (the master always
has the address 00), but the last slave address, i.e. the number of the most significant slave. This “informs” the BCL 600i master of the number of slaves operating on the network, without requiring you 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) accordingly via the display.
Start-up / timeout messages During the initialization phase, i.e. after switching on the operating voltage, the master searches for the set
number of slaves. If a slave is found, the master generates a start-up message “S” for the respective address found, e.g. “04S” -> Slave with the address 04 has responded correctly.
If a slave is not found or does not respond, the master generates a “timeout” (response timeout) at this address.
The slave address and a “T” are output on the host interface. For example, “08T” means that no slave responded at the network address 08. The network is still operational with one or several reported “timeouts”, however, a slave, for which a timeout was generated, can no longer be addressed.
Electrical connection
BCL 600i master mounting location Ensure that the BCL 600i is mounted in an easily accessible and visible place in your system. Once the
network has been put into operation, you can set (configure) every scanner in the network centrally via the USB service or host interface of the BCL 600i, without having to connect a PC/terminal to the individual read stations.

7.8.3 The BCL 600i as network slave

Alternatively, the bar code readers of the BCL 600i series can also operate as slave participants in the network mode. They now transmit data to the multiNet master (e.g. BCL 600i) only after the master prompts them to do so, and, using an external M 12 T-connector, they establish the continuing connection via the BUS OUT socket to the slaves which follow (order information see chapter 16.3 "Accessories"). The last network participant must be terminated with a terminating resistor.

Only a few parameters need to be set for slave operation. Network commissioning can thus be performed in very little time (see chapter 10 "Starting up the device - Configuration").
Slave address The BCL 600i display has an important function for setting the network address. The network address, i.e.
the corresponding station number of the slave, is set via the display. 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 initialized 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 ty p e s to be read and the number of di g i t s
of the code, must be set. This can be done via the display, as well as with the help of the webConfig tool.

7.8.4 The BCL 601i as network slave

The BCL 601i bar code 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. Network commissioning can thus be performed in very little time (see chapter 10 "Starting up the device - Configuration").
The connection is performed as described above (see figure 7.14).
Slave address With the BCL 601i, the network address, i.e. the corresponding station number of the slave, is set via the
display. 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 initialized 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 ty p e s to be read and the number of di g i t s

10 Starting up the device - Configuration

This chapter describes basic configuration steps which you can carry out either via the webConfig tool or the display.
Via the webConfig tool The most convenient way to configure the device is via the webConfig tool. Only the webConfig tool gives
you access to all settings of the device. To use the webConfig tool, you need to establish a USB connec­tion between the device and a PC/laptop.
Notes on use see chapter 9 "Commissioning – Leuze electronic webConfig tool".
Via display The display offers basic configuration options for the device. Configuration via the display is appropriate if
you want to configure simple reading tasks and you cannot or do not want to set up a USB connection between the device and a PC/laptop.
Notes on use see chapter 3.5.2 "Status display and operation".
Starting up the device - Configuration

10.1 Measures to be performed prior to the initial commissioning

Before commissioning, familiarize yourself with the operation and configuration of the device.
Before connecting the supply voltage, recheck all connections and ensure that they have been properly
made.
Check the applied voltage. It must be in the range between +10V … 30 V DC.
Connecting functional earth FE
Ensure that the functional earth (FE) is connected correctly.
NOTICE
Unimpaired operation is only guaranteed when the functional earth is connected properly. All electrical disturbances (EMC couplings) are discharged via the functional earth connection.

10.2 Starting the device

Connect the +10 … 30 V DC supply voltage (typ. +24 V DC); the device starts up and the bar code read-
ing window appears on the display.
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 (see chapter 8.6 "Operation", Parameter enable).

10.3 BCL 600i operation

As a first step, you need to set the communication parameters of the device. The BCL 600i can be oper-
ated as stand-alone device, multiNet plus master or multiNet plus slave.
You can make the necessary settings via the display or via the webConfig tool. The settings made by means of the webConfig tool are described here only briefly.

10.3.1 Operation as stand-alone device

Operation of the BCL 600i is factory-set to stand-alone device. If you want to operate the BCL 600i as stand-alone device, you can skip the following points. For further
settings see chapter 10.5.

10.3.2 Selecting the operating mode

The communication parameters of the HOST/BUS IN and BUS OUT interfaces are permanently set for operation of the device as multiNet plus slave. To enable communication of the BCL 600i/BCL 601i with the multiNet plus master, you only need to set the device address.
The BCL 601i always automatically starts as slave participant in multiNet plus. The default address is 1.
The Leuze multiNet plus permits an address range from 0 to 31. Address 31 must not be used for data communication. It may only be used temporarily for commissioning.
Set the parameter of the slave address to a value > 0 and < 31. Start with address 01 for the first slave and assign the following addresses in ascending order and without gaps.
Via webConfig:
Configuration -> Communication -> BUS OUT -> Protocol
Or, alternatively, via the display:
In the main menu, select the Parameter menu.
Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i 54
Starting up the device - Configuration

Press the enter button in order to save the set number of slaves.
Permissible values for the network address in the Leuze multiNet plus are 0 … 31. Make certain that a different address is assigned to each multiNet plus participant.
From the hardware address (device address > 0), the BCL 601i detects that networking is required. It automatically switches to the Leuze multiNet plus network and waits for initialization by the master.

10.5 Further settings

After the basic configuration of the operating mode and the communication parameters, you need to carry out further settings:
• Decoding and processing the read data
• Control of the decoding
• Control of the switching outputs

10.5.1 Decoding and processing the read data

The device offers the following possibilities:
• Setting the number of labels to be decoded for each reading gate (0 … 64). This is done via the Max. no. of labels parameter.
• Definition of up to 8 different code types (4 different types if configured via the display). Labels that match one of the defined code types are decoded. Further parameters can be set for each code type:
• Code type (symbology)
• Number of digits: either up to 5 different numbers of digits (e.g., 10, 12, 16, 20, 24), or a range
(Interval mode) and up to three additional numbers of digits (e.g., 2 … 10, 12, 16, 26)
• Reading reliability: the set value specifies how many times a label must be read and decoded with
the same result before the result is accepted as valid.
• Activation of the code reconstruction technology (CRT, in the webConfig tool only)
• Additional code type specific settings (in the webConfig tool only)
• Check digit method used for decoding as well as the type of check digit transmission for the output
of the read result. The two possibilities for the latter are Standard (corresponds to the standard for the selected code type/symbology) and not Standard.
Define at least one code type with the desired settings.
In the webConfig tool: Configuration -> Decoder
Or alternatively in the display: Parameter -> Decoder table
Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i 55
Data processing via the webConfig tool
In the Data and Output submenus of the Configuration main menu, the webConfig tool provides extensive data processing options to adapt the functionality of the device to the specific reading task:
• Data filtering and segmentation in the Data submenu:
• Data filtering according to characteristics for handling identical bar code information
• Data segmentation for differentiating between identifier and content of the read data
• Data filtering according to content and/or identifier in order to suppress the output of bar codes
with specific content/identifiers
• Completeness inspection of the read data
• Sorting and formatting the output data in the Output submenu:
• Configuration of up to 3 different sorting criteria. Sorting by physical data and content of the read
bar codes.
• Formatting of the data output for the HOST.
• Formatting of the data output for the display.

10.5.2 Control of the decoding

In general, decoding is controlled via one or more of the configurable switching inputs/outputs. For this purpose, the respective connection to the SW IN/OUT and POWER interfaces must be configured as a switching input.
Starting up the device - Configuration
Via a switching input, you can:
• Start decoding
• Stop decoding
• Start decoding and then stop decoding after a configurable time period
• Read a reference code
• Start the automatic code type configuration (AutoConfig)
Connect the required control devices (photoelectric sensor, proximity switch, etc.) to the device (see
chapter 7).
Configure the connected switching inputs according to your requirements. To do this, first set the I/O
mode to Input and then configure the switching behavior.
In webConfig: Configuration -> Device -> Switching inputs/outputs
Or alternatively in the display: Parameter -> Digital SWIO -> Switching input/output 1-4
Alternatively, one can also activate decoding via the online command + and deactivate it via the online command ’-’. For further information on the online commands, see chapter 11 "Online commands".
Advanced decoder control in the webConfig tool
The webConfig tool provides advanced functions, in particular for deactivating decoding. These may be accessed via the Control submenu of the Configuration main menu. You can:
• Activate decoding automatically (delayed)
• Stop decoding after a maximum reading gate time
• Stop decoding via the completeness mode, if:
• the maximum number of bar codes to be decoded has been decoded
• a positive reference code comparison has taken place.

10.5.3 Control of the switching outputs

By using the switching inputs/outputs of the device, external event-controlled functions can be imple­mented without assistance from the superior process control. For this purpose, the respective connection at the SW IN/OUT and POWER interfaces must be configured as a switching output.
Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i 56
A switching output can be activated:
• At the start/end of the reading gate
• Depending on the read result:
• Reference code comparison positive/negative
• Read result valid/invalid
• Depending on the state of the device:
• Ready/not ready
• Data transmission active/not active
• Active/standby
• Error/no error
•etc.
Connect the required switching outputs (see chapter 7).
Configure the connected switching outputs according to your requirements. To do this, first set the I/O
mode to Output and then configure the switching behavior.
In webConfig: Configuration -> Device -> Switching inputs/outputs
Or alternatively in the display: Parameter -> Digital SWIO -> Switching input/output 1-4

10.6 Transmitting configuration data

Instead of going through the tedious task of configuring every parameter of the device individually, you can also conveniently transfer configuration data.
Starting up the device - Configuration
In general, there are two possibilities for transferring configuration data between two bar code readers:
• Storage in a file and transfer using the webConfig tool
• Using the external parameter memory

10.6.1 Via the webConfig tool

With the webConfig tool, you can store entire configurations of the device on data carriers and transfer them from these to the device.
This storage of configuration data is especially useful if you want to store basic configurations which will require only minor changes.
In the webConfig tool, you store the configuration data via the buttons in the upper part of the middle window of all submenus of the Configuration main menu.

10.6.2 With the external parameter memory

The use of the external parameter memory permits the easy replacement of a defective device on site. This requires an external parameter memory to be installed permanently to the USB connection of the
device. The device stores a copy of the current configuration in the external parameter memory. This copy is
immediately updated when the configuration is changed via the display or by a superior host system (PC/ PLC) via online commands.
Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i 57

11 Online commands

Online commands can be used to send commands directly to the device for control and configuration. For this purpose, the device must be connected to a host- or service computer via the interface. The
commands described can be sent either via the host or the service interface.
Online commands With the commands, you can:
• control/decode.
• read/write/copy parameters.
• carry out an automatic configuration.
• teach-in/set reference codes.
• call up error messages.
• call up statistical device information.
• carry out a software reset in order to reinitialize the device.
Syntax Online commands consist of one or two ASCII characters followed by command parameters. No separa-
tion characters may be entered between the command and the command parameter(s). Both small and capitalized letters can be used.
Example:

Alignment mode
Command JP Description This command simplifies mounting and alignment of the device. After activat-
ing the function with JP+, the device continuously supplies status information to the serial interfaces. With this online command, the scanner is set to terminate the decoding after 100 successfully decoded labels and output the status information. Subse­quently, the read process is reactivated automatically. In addition to the output of the status information, the laser beam is used to display the reading quality. Depending on how many read results could be extracted, the duration of the laser's off time increases. If the reading quality is high, the laser beam flashes in brief, regular intervals. The worse the decoder decodes, the longer the pauses become during which the laser is switched off. The flashing intervals become more and more irregu­lar because the laser may, in total, be active for longer to extract more labels. The duration of the pauses has been stepped in such a way that they can be distinguished by the eye.
Parameter + Starts the adjustment mode.

• Deactivation by a manual command
• Deactivation by a switching input
• Deactivation upon reaching the specified read quality (equal scans)
• Deactivation by timeout
• Deactivation upon reaching a preset number of scans without informa-
tion.

15.2 Heating models of the bar code readers

The devices of the BCL 600i series 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 device to -35 °C
• Supply voltage 24 V DC ±20%
• Enabling the device through an internal temperature switch (switch-on delay about 30 min for
24 V DC and minimum ambient temperature of -35 °C)
• Necessary conductor cross-section for the voltage supply: at least 0.75 mm cables is, thus, not possible
Structure
The heating consists of two parts:
• The front cover heater
• The housing heater
²
; the use of ready-made
Function When the 24 V DC supply voltage is applied to the device, a temperature switch initially only connects the
heating to electrical power (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 device 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.
When the inside temperature reaches approx. 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.
Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i 76
Electrical connection The required core cross-section of the connection cable for the voltage supply must be at least 0.75 mm
CAUTION
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 50 W power.
• the line scanner with oscillating mirror and heating typically consumes 60 W and a maximum of 75 W.
These values are based on operation with unconnected switching outputs.

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.
M Module: The narrowest line or space of a bar code in mm
B Wide character: Wide bars and gaps are a multiple (ratio) of the module. Module x Ratio = ZB
Z
(Normal Ratio 1 : 2.5)
Z Quiet zone: The quiet zone should be at least 10 times the module, but not less than 2.5 mm.
B L Code length: The length of the bar code in mm including the start and stop characters. The quiet
zone is included depending on the code definition.
L Bar length: height of the elements in mm
S
Figure 15.5: The most important characteristics of a bar code
Technical data
The range in which the bar code can be read by the device (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.
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

15.6 Reading field curves

Please notice that the real reading fields are also influenced by factors such as labeling material, printing quality, reading angle, printing contrast etc., and may thus deviate from the reading fields specified here.
The zero position of the reading distance always refers to the front edge of the housing of the beam exit and is shown for the two housing types of the device (see figure 15.6).

15.7 Reading field curves for heating devices

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 mirror devices of the BCL 600i series is reduced to ±28° (without heating = ±30°).
• In addition, the maximum swivel range for all oscillating mirror devices of the BCL 600i series is reduced to ±12° (without heating = ±20°).
• The reading field curves and opening angles are unchanged for all line scanners with heating of the series BCL 600i.
For details, please refer to the following reading field curves for the heating devices.
