CLP 100 Bar Code Reader
Product description
3.2 Working method of the device
The CCD bar code reader CLP 100 detects bar codes in an illuminated scan field (scan line)
and decodes the bar codes. The CLP 100 transmits this data via the serial host interface to
a host/PC for further processing. Refer to
the CLP 100.

The CLP 100 derives useful data for diagnostics from the reading processes. The quality of
the reading data can be checked in the diagnosis mode.
The CLP 100 requires suitable pulsing (triggering) in order to start a reading process when
there is an object in the reading area. This results in a time window for the reading process
being opened in the CLP 100. Triggering is carried out either with an external sensor or with
a command string via the host interface. Both options are active in the default setting.
The switching input ("Sensor" input) informs the CLP 100 when it must start a reading
process. The switching output ("Result" output) can have result functions assigned to them
and triggers external devices such as, for example, a PLC input.
3.3 Display and operating elements
The CLP 100 is operated or parameterized via the host interface by using the CLP Setup
PC software or with command strings. The CLP 100 is adapted to various applications by
means of parameterization. The CLP Setup software is used, for example, to carry out the
following settings:
•
Configuration of the code types to be read
•
Read, evaluation and output properties
•
Communication parameters of the host interface
•
Structure of the data output strings of the host interface
•
Function of the auxiliary interface (terminal interface)
Section 10.2, Page 33
The procedure for parameterizing the CLP 100 with the software is explained in
Page 21
.
An LED status display ("Monitor") with two LEDs (red and green) on the rear of the CLP 100
indicates the current operating state of the device. The meaning of the display for the

4.2.3 Selecting the installation site
When selecting the installation site take the distance between the CLP 100 and the host as
well as the distance between the CLP 100 and the bar code into consideration. The angle
between the scan line and bar code is selected, so that a good reading is possible. The
optimal setting of the angle is described further below.
The CLP 100 is fastened by means of two threaded holes (M 3) to the top or bottom of the
device (
Page 32

.
). The complete housing dimensions are shown in
Section 9.2,
Fig. 4-1: Position of the threaded holes !at CLP 100
Distance between the CLP 100 and the host
The maximum distance between the CLP 100 and the host when extension cables are used
amounts to 12 m (host interface RS-232).
Distance between the CLP 100 and the bar code
The distance a between the reading window of the CLP 100 and the bar code must amount
to 20 to 70 mm depending on the width of the bar code (

4.3.2 Adjusting the CLP 100
The adjusting operating mode supports the adjustment of the CLP 100. In this operating
mode the green LED extinguishes if the reading process fails ("No Read"). If the green LED
does not light up, the CLP 100 cannot read the bar code. If the green LED flickers, the CLP
100 can only read the bar code badly. If the green LED shows steady light, the CLP 100 is
aligned optimally. The scanning frequency in adjusting mode amounts to 500 Hz.
1. Connect the CLP 100 to the supply voltage and switch on the supply voltage.
2. Connect the CLP 100 to the PC.
