2. Scope of delivery

Operating Instructions

The CLV 41x with fixed focus is used to detect and decode bar codes in a stationary reading station automatically, e.g. on objects on a conveyor belt. For this purpose, it must be mounted securely on the station and supplied with an operating voltage of 4.5...30 V DC to IEC 742. The CLV outputs the read result via its host inteface to a higher-level computer for further processing.

The CLV 41x is supplied with the following:

• two polling reflectors for automatic reading pulse generation

• a note on device (yellow) with power connection diagram

• an additional set of laser warning labels (Class 2) in German and French

One or more of the following, depending on the number of devices ordered:

• CLV 41x Operating Instructions, in German and English

• a CD-ROM with the CLV Setup program for Windows™, the online CLV Setup Help

(HTML) software and the browser Iview™

• a fold-out card with 12 printed profile bar codes

3. System requirements

4. Laser protection

The following are required to set up and operate the CLV:

• a SICK AMV 40-011 Connection Module (no. 1 017 132) or AMS 40-013

(no. 1 017 13 5 ) Alternatively, an external power supply unit with an output voltage of 4.5 ... 30 V DC to IEC 742 (functional extra-low voltage) and min. 3 W power output

• a PC with Windows-based GUI (Windows 3.1™, Windows 95™ or Windows NT™) and serial port (COM x)

• an HTML browser (e.g. Netscape™) to use the online help

• an RS 232 data connection cable (e.g. no. 2 020 319).

Alternatively, the programming adapter for the LCV 410 (order no. available on request) to connect the PC between the CLV 410 and AMV/AMS 40 as well as an RS 232 data connection cable (e.g. no. 2 014 054) from the programming adapter to the PC

• a 24 V DC ±20% operating voltage for the AMV 40 or 230 V AC (115V) ±10% for the AMS 40

• a suitable sensor, e.g. a photoelectric switch, if the reading pulse is to be supplied externally via the switching input on the CLV

Laser radiation!

The radiation emitted by the laser diode (red or IR light) on the CLV 410 is harmful to the human eye. For this reason, do not look directly into the laser beam.

WARNING!

Opening the housing while the device is in operation does not prevent the laser diode from being activated by the reading pulse. The maximum output power of the laser beam at the reading window is 1 . 2 mW. The CLV, therefore, is assigned to protection class 2.

Laser radiation, do not stare into the beam, class 2 laser product. Max. output radiation: 1 . 2 mW (223

7. Function of the LEDs

The LED function indicators 7 are located on the rear, narrow side of the device (Fig. 1).

LED Color Function

Device Ready green Indicates that the the CLV is ready (Reading mode). Lights up when the device is switched on, after

the self-test has been successfully completed and when the wait time for teach-in mode has expired. The LED extinguishes when the device is switched to a different operating mode.

Result green Function depends on the operating mode of the scanner:

• In Reading Mode or Teach-in Mode, the LED indicates a successful read (good read). If the match code comparison is activated, it lights up if the bar code read matches the specified match code(s).

Device Ready Result Laser On

Data

Laser On green Lights up when the laser diode is activated for reading the bar code.

Data yellow Flickers when the CLV is transferring data to the host on the serial data interface

The LED lights up constantly until the start of the next reading pulse

• In Percentage Evaluation with 100 scans per reading interval, the LED indicates the trend in the read quality as follows:

LED off good read rate < 30% LED blinks (frequency 2 Hz) good read rate 30%...70% LED blinks (frequency 5 Hz) good read rate 70% ... 90% LED lights up constantly good read rate > 90%

• The LED lights up briefly when set to AutoSetup before it starts to scan the presented bar code

The laser diode is activated and deactivated by the reading pulse. The laser diode is activated constantly in Percentage Evaluation and Free-running modes. In Reflector Polling pulse mode, it is activated in accordance with the scanning frequency at every 20th scan (LED flickers). The scan line(s) are dimmed (with red-light scanner only)

and download it to the CLV.

8. 5 Connecting the interfaces

All of the interfaces are routed via the 15-pin D Sub HD connector À (Table 3).

8. 5. 1 Connecting the host interface

The CLV is equipped with two host interfaces (RS 232 and RS 422/485). One of these must be selected for data communication with the host/PC. If the RS 232 interface is not connected to the host, it can be used exclusively to monitor data traffic on the parallel RS 422/482 interface.

The internal modules of the CLV may be damaged irreparably if the data interface is connected incorreclty.

Ø Connect the host interface of the CLV to the host in accordance with the EMC

requirements using shielded cables(Fig. 4)

Ø To prevent interference, do not lay the data cables over a long distance parallel

to the power supply and motor cables, e.g. in cable ducts

Ø Apply the shield on one side (SICK recommendation)

Recommended max. cable lengths between the CLV and host:

By reading in profile bar code nos. 11 and 12 (Section 10.2 Default setting), you can define the above default settings temporarily with a different parameter set to allow the PC to communicate with the CLV.

8. 5. 2 Connecting the functional interfaces

Sensor 1 switching input

In order to trigger a reading process, the CLV requires a suitable clock pulse in Reading mode that signals the presence of a conveyor object in the reading field. The clock pulse generates the reading interval (time window for evaluation) internally in the CLV. In the default setting, the reading pulse is supplied by means of internal, continuous reflector polling (see Section 9.2).

If an external sensor (e.g. photoelectric switch, switch) is to notify the CLV of the presence of a conveyor object, the following steps must be performed:

Ø Connect the sensor to the CLV as shown in Fig. 5

Operating Instructions

Ø Procedure for teaching in match code 1

Prerequisite: CLV is in Reading mode and the current parameter set (if

application-specific) is stored permanently.

Step Action Response from CLV

1 Switch off CLV –

2 Close switch S and CLV switches to Reading mode and activates

switch on CLV again teach-in mode for the match code.

3 Open switch S CLV in teach-in mode and searches match

code.

4 Position match code at appropriate –

distance (see 16. Reading field diagrams)

5 Trigger set reading pulse CLV reads the match code.

The Result LED lights up to confirm successful read (good read; default setting). Beeper emits a short acoustic signal.

6 Close switch S again CLV stores the match code and its code type

in the valid parameter set and permanently in the EEPROM. From this point on, it compares each match code read with the match code taught in.

1) We recommend that you connect the PC with the CLV Setup interface to check the read result

Table 8

Notes:

1. In order to replace the match code taught in in this way with a different match code, you can repeat steps 3 to 6 without having to switch off the CLV.

2. If match code 1 is set using the teach-in method, it must not be modified with the user interface (or command strings) until the CLV is switched off again. The methods used to set the match code cannot be mixed. This does not affect match code 2.

Result 1 to Result 3 switching outputs

The three outputs (Fig. 7) can each be assigned different result functions. When the associated result occurs, the corresponding output becomes live for the selected pulse duration at the end of the reading interval. The pulse duration can be set separately for each output.

CAUTION

The two fastening threads (2, Fig. 1) on the bottom, narrow side of the housing are used to secure the CLV. The thread dimensions are shown in Section18. Dimensioned diagrams.

Risk of damage to the housing

The max. depth of engagement of the two M 4 tapped blind holes is 6 mm from the housing surface. Do not exceed this depth.

Mounting accessories

The CLV can be easily secured to the base to suit the relevant application using one of the two optional mounting brackets (Fig. 8). This facilitates precise adjustment in two planes. The dimensions of these brackets are shown in Section 18. Dimensioned drawings. The elongated holes in the brackets allow the CLV to be adjusted with a freedom of rotation of approx. ± 15°.

Fig. 9. Scanning method alignment relative to the bar code and conveyor direction

Reading angle and distance

When mounting the device, ensure that all of the possible reading angles at which the bar code can be positioned relative to the scan line are taken into account. Fig. 10 shows this using a line scanner as an example. The reading window and code should be almost parallel, whereby total surface reflection (see below) should be avoided.

Table 10

When selecting the mounting location for the device, the limit values of the reading range for the selected bar code resolution and the useful aperture angle (max. 60° with front light emission) must be taken into account. See also Section 16. Reading

field diagrams.

Avoiding surface reflection

If the reading beam strikes the surface of the bar code vertically, reflection interference may be caused when the returned light is received.

Ø Mount the CLV with front light emission (a) in such a way that the scan line(s) strike

the bar code at an angle less than approx. 15° from the vertical reference (Fig. 11).

Ø The CLV with lateral light emission (b) must be mounted flush so that the scan line

is emitted at an angle less than 105° relative to the housing.

In order to generate the reading pulse automatically using internal reflector polling (default setting), one of the two polling reflectors supplied (special bar code) must be mounted opposite the CLV behind the conveyor section.

Ø Note the maximum ranges of the two reflectors (Fig. 13)

Ø Mount the polling reflector (self-adhesive) opposite the CLV (in the alignment line)

in such a way that the CLV can view the reflector freely in the gaps between the conveyor objects and can scan it reliably (center of scan line). The scan line of the CLV should scan the code lines of the polling reflector vertically.

8 008 224/I982/08-00

Ø Check the polling reflector installation for 100% read quality using the

Percentage Evaluation mode in the T

ERMINAL option of the user interface (see

Section 10.6). The CLV outputs the code content of the polling reflector and signals REPO as the code type.

Function of reflector polling

In Reflector Polling pulse mode, the CLV activates the laser diode with every 20th scan and checks whether it detects the reflector:

- if the reflector is still detected, the CLV repeates the procedure after the 20th

scan

- the CLV starts the reading interval when the reflector is concealed by a conveyor

object in the reading field. The interval ends when the CLV detects the reflector again. It then repeats the procedure above.

Notes:

This clock mode (max. delay approx. 100 ms at a scan rate of 200 Hz) is only suitable for applications that are not critical with respect to time. When the CLV is switched on, it must be able to detect the polling reflector. The first reading interval can only start if this is the case. In Reading mode, the CLV does not output the content of the polling reflector.

9. 3 Mounting the external reading pulse sensor (alternative)

If an external sensor (e.g. photoelectric switch) is used to generate the reading pulse, it must be mounted on the CLV in a suitable manner. Ensure that objects of different size carrying bar codes trigger the internal reading pulse in such a way that sufficient time is provided to read the code. Examples of the CLV with line scanner are provided in Fig. 14.

IMPORTANT

The CLV must not be connected with the PC (offline mode). The default setting values are stored permanently in the user interface and on the CLV. The parameter values are displayed in the menu options of the individual configuration cards. You can print out the entire default settings by clicking the icon.

Note:

When you make changes to the default settings, we recommend that you save them as a different configuration file (*.scl) on the PC using the S

AVE AS option in the

program.

Temporary host interface defaults

In order to allow you to access the CLV with the PC at any time, you can set the host interface temporarily to the default setting (9600 bits/s, 8 data bits/1 stop bit, no parity) using the profile bar codes:

Ø Present profile bar code no. 11 to the CLV in Reading mode and supply

an appropriate clock pulse to the device.

The CLV resets the host interface to the default values and confirms this with an acoustic signal from the beeper. It then resumes Reading mode immediately

Ø To restore the previous host interface configuration on the CLV, present

profile bar code no. 12 to the CLV.

The CLV confirms that the values have been reset with an acoustic signal and resumes Reading mode immediately.

IMPORTANT

Alternative:

Ø Switch the CLV off and on again to return to the original configuration

10. 3 Profile programming

Profile programming uses special bar codes to change the CLV parameters directly without having to connect the PC with user interface. The profile bar codes are simply presented to the CLV. The device then transfers the coded parameter values to the current parameter set and stores them permanently. The changes remain valid after the programming procedure has been completed and affect the further reading procedure. The CLV waits 10 s after each profile bar code. If no more profile bar codes are presented, it resumes standard Reading mode and confirms with two consecutive acoustic signals.

Since the CLV overwrites important parameter values (e.g. those generated with AutoSetup) without requiring confirmation, we recommend that you upload the valid parameter set to the PC and store it as a configuration file (*.scl) with the S option in the user menu before you change the parameter settings.

You can program the CLV at any time in Reading mode. Alternatively, you can present one or more profile bar codes to the CLV for reading within 5 seconds after the device has been switched on and the self-test has been completed (free-running). The CLV does not output any reading results during profile programming and does not respond to an external reading pulse.

Printed profile bar codes

A total of 12 selected profile bar codes are provided on the „Configuration Profiles for CLV 41x Bar Code Scanner“ card to make important changes (from the default settings or the application-specific parameter set respectively). By folding the individual segments of the card, you can ensure that the CLV only reads the required profile bar code. The function of the profile bar codes is explained in Table 12.

If you cannot access the host interface of the CLV from the “CLV Setup” user interface (e.g. baud rate or data format not in line with default settings), the profile bar code no. 11 can be used temporarily to set the CLV to the default settings (host interface). To reset the system, use profile bar code no. 12 or switch off CLV.

profile bar codes

Table 13

Note:

When changing the reading pulse type, we recommend that you present the corresponding profile bar code (3 LT...) last so that reading of further profile bar codes in free-running mode is not interrupted.

Printing out profile bar codes via the user interface

You can print out the profile bar codes offline (CLV not connected to PC), for example, using the modified values in the configuration cards. One or more profile bar codes are printed out on a page, depending on the number of changes made to the default settings. You can set the size, position and number of codes printed out on the page as required. Longer profile bar codes must be printed out in landscape format (using the printer configuration window).

10. 4 AutoSetup (code configuration)

Teaching in application-

specific bar codes

IMPORTANT

The AutoSetup function allows you to set the application-specific parameters automatically to read

• a bar code (from a code type with a fixed code length)

• at a fixed reading distance.

For this purpose, the PC with the user interface must not be connected . During AutoSetup, the CLV automatically determines the code type, code length and the optimum scanning rate in free-running mode for the bar code presented at the maximum reading distance. All other code types are disabled for further evaluation. The CLV writes the parameter values to the parameter set directly and stores it permanently (EEPROM).

Since the CLV overwrites important code configuration parameters without requiring confirmation from the user, we recommend that you upload the valid CLV parameter set to the PC and store it as a configuration file (*.scl) using the S

AVE AS menu option

in the user interface before you change the CLV parameters.

AutoSetup can be started at any time in Reading mode by presenting profile bar code no. 12 and triggering the corresponding reading pulse. Alternatively, the CLV can read profile bar code no. 12 in free-running mode directly after the device has been switched and within the wait time of 5 seconds after the self-test has been completed. The CLV does not output any reading results during teach-in mode and does not respond to an external reading pulse.

Note:

The CLV does not enter any real values for the Minimum Distance and Minimum Bar Width parameters, since it cannot determine absolute dimensions. When you upload the parameter set from the CLV to the PC, therefore, the values in the R CONFIGURATION card do not correspond to the actual values.

AutoSetup can also be called under the T

TIP:

choosing the corresponding entry in the V

ERMINAL menu of the user interface by IEW menu. The CLV, however, does not

output any reading results here. By connecting the PC, you can also subsequently check the read quality of the bar code that was read in by switching to P EVALUATION mode.

Displaying the default settings in the configuration cards

The program then loads the internal description of the CLV as well as the default parameter values and displays them on the tabs. Finally, CLV Setup uploads the current parameter set from the RAM of the CLV and displays the values on the tabs instead of the default values.

You can edit the current parameter set on the tabs. The default values are displayed when the device is used for the first time.

Troubleshooting

If the CLV-setup screen shows “no connection” in the lower right menu bar, the program couldn’t connect to the CLV. There may be two reasons, either the CLV is not connected or the communication parameters of CLV and PC do not match. The CLV setup program stores the type of CLV which was successfully contacted before in the list field “appliance” of the symbol bar. When calling the CLV setup program for the first time the CLV type is by default “CLV 41x”. For this CLV type, the program loads the internal appliance description and the default parameters from its data base and displays the values in the corresponding tabs.

Displaying the active CLV parameter set

To view the active CLV parameter set and change it via the configuration cards, you must first either

Ø transfer (upload) it from the CLV to the PC or Ø open the active configuration file (*.scl) on the PC.

If the ”CLV Setup” software is unable to read the loaded parameters during the upload, a warning is issued. Unknown parameters can be edited in the “EXTRAS” tab, following the general rules for command strings. When saving the parameter set, these parameters are taken into account.

Download

The changes made to the configuration cards do not take effect until they have been transfered to the CLV. When you download the file, the CLV asks you whether you want to store the new parameter set temporarily or permanently.

Online Help function

The parametrization procedure is supported by the online CLV Setup Help function. The online help runs on an HTML browser (e.g. Netscape™ or Internet Explorer™). The PC searches for this browser and opens it automatically. If it cannot be found, a window is displayed asking you to specify the directory in which the browser is stored on the hard disk. You can call context-sensitive help on the parameter you are currently processing by pressing F1. You can choose the configuration card on which you want help in the top, horizontal frame. The associated parameters are then displayed in the left-hand frame. When you click one of these parameters, a detailed description is displayed in the right-hand frame. To display the help overview, choose the C

Operating Instructions

10. 6. 5 Operating data

This function allows you to interrogate and reset important counters in the user interface that are updated continuously by the CLV during the reading procedure. To open the dialog window, click the icon with the CLV connected. The CLV data is then loaded to the window directly and displayed.

11. 1 Transferring the application-specific parameter set

If you have to replace a CLV on site and therefore transfer the active parameter set to the new device, there are two methods of doing so. The parameter set can only be transferred to a device of the same type.

Transferring the parameter set locally using profile bar codes

Prerequisite: the active parameter set is available in archived form as printed

profile bar codes.

It is not necessary to connect the PC to the CLV Setup program.

Step Action

1 Disconnect the power supply to the AMV/AMS Connection Module

2 Disconnect the CLV connector from the AMV/AMS Connection Module.

Remove the CLV from the bracket on the reading station. Mark the position and alignment on the bracket/station.

3 Mount the new CLV and connect it to the AMV/AMS

4 Reconnect the power supply to the AMV/AMS Connection Module

5 Present the first archived profile bar code to the CLV within

acoustic signal. The CLV confirms the good read with an acoustic signal and waits 10 s for the next profile bar code.

6 Present all of the other profile bar codes consecutively in the order in which they

were printed.

7 Finally, allow the last 10 s wait time to expire.

The CLV then outputs two consecutive acoustic signals and switches to Reading mode. The Device Ready LED lights up.

The new CLV can now be used with the transferred parameter set.

5 seconds5 seconds

Notes:

The procedure for printing out the profile bar codes is described in Table 14 in Section 10.3 Profile programming. If none of the profile bar codes of the parameter set for the device to be replaced has been printed out and if the configuration file (*.scl) has not been saved on the PC, you can try, depending on the reason why the device is to be replaced, to upload the parameter set from the CLV to be replaced to the user interface and then download it to the new CLV.

Ø Transferring the parameter set by means of a download

If the profile bar codes of the parameter set have not been printed out but a configuration file (*.scl) does exist, you must connect the PC with the CLV Setup software to the new CLV (see Section 8.4 Connecting the PC to the CLV). In the following section, it is assumed that the new CLV is using the default settings.

Step Action

1 Replace the CLV as described in steps 1 to 3 in Table 18

2 Disconnect any data connections to the host

3 Connect an RS 232 data connection cable to the AMV/AMS and PC

4 Reconnect the power supply to the AMV/AMS Connection Module

5 Start the CLV Setup program on the PC

6 If you cannot access the new CLV (red display NO CONNECT! at bottom right)

click the (upload) icon (CLV transfers its parameter set to the PC)

7 Open the configuration file (*.scl) stored for the old CLV

8 Click the (Download) icon (new CLV receives the application-specific parameter set)

9 Choose the Permanently storage option for the CLV in the dialog window

10 Close the configuration file (*.scl) again.

11 Disconnect the RS 232 data connection cable from the CLV

12 Re-establish the data connection to the host.

TIP:

conditions, you may have to change the device number of the individual CLVs subsequently using the D

EVICE CONFIGURATION card for this parameter set so that it can

be evaluated in the host and then download the parameter set again.

11. 2 Disassembly and environmentally friendly disposal of the CLV

If the CLV is to be disposed of (after it has reached the end of its service life), the national waste disposal regulations applicable at the time at which the device is taken out of service must be observed.

• The housing of the CLV (chassis and cover) is made of die-cast zinc and can be

submitted for recycling after the glass plate of the reading window has been removed.

• The electronic modules and connection cables can be easily removed. However,

they must not be disposed of as domestic waste but rather sent to a suitable plant for treatment as problem waste.

12. Troubleshooting

Operating Instructions

12. 1 Self-monitoring function

The CLV is equipped with the following monitoring functions:

• After it is switched on, the device always performs a self-test before it is initialized

in order to check the important hardware components.

• During operation, the CLV constantly monitors the function of its laser diode and

the speed of its polygon mirror wheel. A watchdog circuit also responds to any malfunctions in the device.

• If the CLV detects a malfunction during the self-test or operation, it outputs the

error status ST=3 if this has been enabled for transfer to the host in the separator of the output string (default setting: no).

12. 2 Error messages

The CLV does not output any error messages apart from the error status ST.

12. 3 Causes of error and troubleshooting

The following tools and resources are required to perform the troubleshooting measures described in Table 20:

• these Operating Instructions

• set of tools

• a measuring tape

• a multimeter for measuring voltage and current values

• a PC with the CLV Setup software

• an RS 232 data connection cable, e.g. no. 2 020 319 from SICK

SICK service and repair

If correct operation of the CLV cannot be restored using the troubleshooting measures provided above, the device may be defective. The CLV does not contain any system components that can be repaired by the user.

Please contact the SICK Service department:

• Through your local SICK subsidiary or branch office; the address and telephone number are provided in the frame on the rear of these Operating Instructions

Please contact the SICK Service department first before sending in the device!

The CLV does not require maintenance. The self-monitoring functions enable the device to operate fault-free at the reading station. The CLV indicates errors with the status ST in the data output string (if enabled). If operated under extreme conditions (excessive dust, abrasion, humidity), we recommended that you clean the reading window at regular intervals using a mild, water-soluble detergent to maintain the reading performance.

When cleaning the reading window, avoid any scratching or scouring movements on the surface of the glass.

CAUTION

If necessary, also clean the LEDs.

Internal safety circuits

The CLV is equipped with monitoring circuits that deactivate the laser diode in the event of irregularities in the laser beam generation. Activation and deactivation of the laser diode is controlled by the reading pulse. In Percentage Evaluation and Freerunning modes, the laser diode is activated constantly. With Reflector polling, it is activated with every 20th scan.

Warning labels

You can attach the additional laser warning labels (German/US English or French/US English) over the GB English/US English sticker on the CLV if required.

If the CLV is installed in a machine/panel with the result that the warnings on the device are concealed, additional warning labels (not included in the scope of delivery) must be attached to the machine near the laser emission aperture.
