1.3Description of functions
The MA 208i modular interfacing unit is used to connect Leuze devices directly to the
fieldbus.
This is accomplished by transmitting the data from the DEV via an RS 232 (V.24) interface

1.4Definition of terms
For better understanding of the explanations provided in this document, a definition of terms
follows below:
General information
• Bit designation:
The 1st bit or byte begins with count number "0" and means bit/byte 2
• Data length:
Size of a valid, continuous data packet in bytes.
• Consistent:
Data which belongs together with regard to content and which must not be separated
is referred to as consistent data. When identifying objects, it must be ensured that
the data is transmitted completely and in the correct order, otherwise the result is
falsified.
• Leuze device (DEV):
Leuze devices, e.g., bar code readers, RFID readers, VisionReader…
• Online command:
These commands refer to the respective, connected ident device and may be different depending on the device. These commands are not interpreted by the MA 208
but are instead transmitted transparently (see description of Ident device).
• CR:
Cross reference.
• Perspective of I/O data in the description:
Output data is data which is sent by the control to the MA. Input data is data which
is sent by the MA to the control.
• Tog g le b its :
Status toggle bit
Each change of state indicates that an action was performed, e.g., bit ND (new data):
each change of state indicates that new received data was transmitted to the PLC.
Control toggle bit
An action is performed on each change of state, e.g., bit SDO: on each change of
state, the registered data is sent by the PLC to the MA 208

To connect the Leuze device to the internal RS 232 device interface, open the housing
of the MA 208
for BCL 32) through the middle threaded opening.
Connect the cable to the internal device interface (X30, X31 or X32, see chapter 7.5.1).
Use rotary switch S4 (see chapter 8.2.5) to select the connected device.
Now screw the PG cable gland into the threaded opening to provide strain relief and
ensure protection class IP 65.
Finally, close the housing of the MA 208
Attention!
Only then may the supply voltage be applied.
Upon startup of the MA 208i, the device selection switch is queried and the gateway
automatically sets itself to the Leuze device.
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.
3.3.2Connecting the power supply and the bus cable
Ideally, use the ready-made cables listed in chapter 14.4.3 to connect the gateway to the
power supply via the PWR IN connection.
The ready-made cables listed in chapter 14.5.4 are preferred for connecting the gateway
to the fieldbus via the HOST / BUS IN connection.
If applicable, use the BUS OUT connection if you would like to construct a network with

The communication parameters are independent of the topology in which the MA 208i is
operated (see "Ethernet" on page 18).
On delivery from firmware 1.1.0.0, automatic address assignment is deactivated via DHCP
and a permanent IP address is set:
Device address: 192.168.61.100.

3.5.2Ethernet host communication
The Ethernet host communication enables the configuration of connections to an external
host system. Both UDP as well as TCP/IP (in either client or server mode) can be used. The
connection-free UDP protocol is used primarily to transfer process data to the host (monitor
operation). The connection-oriented TCP/IP protocol can also be used to transfer
commands from the host to the device. With this connection, the data is backed up by the
TCP/IP protocol itself.
If you would like to use the TCP/IP protocol, you must also define whether the MA 208

Contact your network administrator to determine which communication protocol is used.

munication from and to the PLC. Absolutely no special programming by the user is
necessary for this purpose. The data is not buffered or stored temporarily, however.
Instead, it is "passed on".
The programmer must make certain to retrieve the data from the input memory of the
PLC at the right time, as it is otherwise overwritten by new data.
2.Collective mode
In this operating mode, data and telegram parts are temporarily stored in the memory
(buffer) of the MA and sent to the RS 232 interface or to the PLC in a telegram by means
of bit activation. In this mode, however, all communication control must be programmed on the PLC.
This function mode is helpful, for example, for very long telegrams or when one or
more codes with long code lengths are read.

necessary to transfer data in blocks.
3.Command mode
With this special operating mode, it is possible to use the first bytes of the data range
to transmit predefined commands to the connected device by means of bit activation.
For this purpose, device-dependent commands (so-called online commands) are predefined via the device selection switch, see chapter 16 "Specifications for Leuze end
devices".

4.3Device construction
The MA 208i modular interfacing unit is used for interconnecting Leuze devices, such as
the BCL 8, BCL 22, etc., directly to the fieldbus. This is accomplished by transmitting the
data from the Leuze device via an RS 232 (V.24) interface to the MA 208

The MA 208i is intended as a gateway for any RS 232 devices, e.g., BCL 90 with MA 90,
hand-held scanners, scales or for coupling a multiNet network.
The RS 232 cables are internally connectable using JST plug connectors. The cable can be
connected to the device using a stable PG cable gland which provide strain relief and protection against contamination.
With the help of adapter cables with Sub-D 9 or open cable end, other RS 232 devices can
also be connected.

4.4Operating modes
For fast commissioning, the MA 208i offers an additional operating mode, the "Service
mode", in addition to the "Standard mode". To do this, you need a PC/laptop with a suitable
terminal program, as BCL-Config from Leuze or similar.
Service switch
Select between "operation" and "service" modes with the service switch. You have the
following options:
Pos. RUN:
Operation
The Leuze device is connected to the fieldbus and communicates with the PLC.
Pos. DEV:
Service Leuze device
The connection between the Leuze device and the fieldbus is interrupted. With this
switch position, you can communicate directly with the Leuze device at the fieldbus
gateway via RS 232. You can send online commands via the service interface, configure the Leuze device using the corresponding BCL- BPS-, …-Config configuration
software and have the read data of the Leuze device output.
Pos. MA:
Service fieldbus gateway
With this switch setting, your PC/terminal is connected with the fieldbus gateway. In
doing so, the current setting values of the MA (e.g. address, RS 232 parameters) can
be called up via a ’v’ command.

If the service switch is on one of the service settings, the PWR LED flashes on the front side

Ideally, the MA 208i should be mounted so that it is easily accessible near the Ident device
in order to ensure good operability - e.g., for configuring the connected device.
6.3.1Selecting a mounting location
In order to select the right mounting location, several factors must be considered:
• The permissible cable lengths between the MA 208
on which interface is used.
• The housing cover should be easily accessible, so that the internal interfaces (device
interface for connecting the Leuze device via PCB connectors, service interface) and
other operational controls are easy to reach.
• Maintaining the required environmental conditions (temperature, humidity).
• Lowest possible chance of damage to the MA 208
parts.
6.4Cleaning
Clean the housing of the MA 208i with a soft cloth after mounting. Remove all packaging
remains, e.g. carton fibers or Styrofoam balls.
Attention!
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents such as thinner or acetone for cleaning the device.
