Operating Instructions
CLV 490 Bar Code Scanner
Installation procedure (overview)
CLV in stand-alone configuration
Start/stop mode: Reading trigger via “Sensor“ switching input (default setting)
1. Check the delivery to make sure that none of the components is missing.
2. Mount the CLV at the reading station and align it with the object carrying the bar code.
3. Mount the CDB 420 or CDM 490 Connection Module.
4. Connect the CLV as followed: CDB 420 Connection Module: using the cable no. 2 027 046. Alternatively, connect the CLV using the external parameter memory no. 2 030 023. CDM 490 Connection Module: using two cables no. 2 020 302. Alternatively, connect the CLV using the external parameter memory no. 2 020 307.
5. Mount the sensor for starting/stopping the reading pulse.
6. Connect the reading pulse sensor to the "Sensor (1)" switching input in the CDB 420 or CDM 490.
7. Connect the host to the host interface in the CDB 420 or CDM 490.
8. Switch on the power supply to the CDB 420 or CDM 490. The "Device Ready" LED lights up after the CLV has started.
CLV with external empty parameter memory connected (no. 2 020 307 or 2 030 023):
After the CLV has started, it copies the internal parameter set to the external parameter memory if no CMC 400 parameter memory is available in the CDB 420/CDM 490.
Line scanner with oscillating mirror:
In the default setting, the CLV deflects the scan line around the position CW = 50 with a frequency of 1 Hz and an oscillating amplitude of max. ±20° (±40 CW).
9. Switch on your PC and start Windows
10. Install the "CLV-Setup" software and the online CLV-Setup Help from the CD-ROM ("Manuals & Software") on your PC.
11. Connect the PC to the terminal interface of the CLV. To do so, connect a 3-core RS 232 data cable (null modem cable), e. g. no. 2 014 054 to the "Aux" plug in the CDB 420 or CDM 490.
12. Start the "CLV-Setup" program. CLV-Setup establishes communication with the CLV and uploads the parameter set. The parameters are then displayed on the tabs.
13. Carry out a test read using test bar codes (clock the CLV accordingly). Display the reading result in the Terminal Emulator window of the "CLV-Setup" program.
14. Configure the CLV for the application using the settings on the tabs in CLV-Setup. Copy (download) the modified parameter set to the CLV temporarily. Do not switch off the power to the CDB 420 or CDM 490 (CLV)!
15. Test the application under realistic conditions.
16. Check whether the data is transmitted correctly between the CLV and host.
17. If necessary, correct and optimize the parameter values. Copy (download) the parameter set permanently to the CLV.
CLV with external parameter memory connected:
Copy the modified parameter set to the external parameter memory when CLV-Setup asks you for confirmation.
18. Save the parameter set as a configuration file "*.scl" in the "CLV-Setup" program.
TM
(minimum requirement: Windows 95TM).
The CLV can then be operated with the application-specific settings.

CLV 490 Bar Code Scanner

2.3 General safety instructions and protection measures

¾ Always read the general safety instructions carefully and observe them at all times.
Please also observe the warnings in front of the operating instructions in each chapter of this document.
Risk of injury by electrical current
In the CDM 490 Connection Module, the optional CMP 490 Power Supply Module is con­nected to a mains voltage of 100 to 250 V AC/ 50 to 60 Hz.
¾ When working with electrical equipment, always follow the relevant safety specifications.
Laser beam can cause blindness. The CLV uses a class 2 red-light laser. Looking directly at the laser beam can seriously
damage your eyesight.
The entire glass window acts as a laser outlet aperture.
Caution – use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
¾ As with sunlight, never look directly into the laser beam.
¾ Do not direct the laser beam at other persons.
¾ Mount and align the CLV in such a way to prevent the laser beam reflecting off mirrored
surfaces.
¾ Do not open the housing.
(Opening the housing does not deactivate the laser diode).
¾ Observe the laser protection specifications (latest version)
Laser power
The laser operates at a wave length of λ = 650 nm (visible red light). The power output at the reading window is max. 2.8 mW. The emitted radiation is not dangerous to human skin. The product is classified in laser class 2 (laser class II) in accordance with EN 60825-1, IEC 60825-1, and 21 CFR 1040.10 (for publication date, see the warning sign on the de­vice).
Laser warnings
The laser warning symbols (Fig. 2-1) can be found on the CLV at the following locations:
The laser warning symbol on line scanners is positioned beside the reading window on
the front side of the device. The laser warning in GB English/US English is located on the side containing the electrical connections (see Fig. 3-1, Page 3-5.) The additional laser warnings in English applicable to the USA are positioned beside the reading window on the front side of the device and at the bottom of the device.
The laser warning symbol on line scanners with oscillating mirror is located above the
reading window, on the cover of the mirror. The laser warning in GB English/US English is located on the side containing the electrical connections. The additional laser warnings in English applicable to the USA are positioned below the reading window on the front side of the device and at the bottom of the front side.

Fig. 2-1: Laser warning labels on the CLV
Note A set of laser warnings in German/US English and French/US English is included in the
delivery scope. The GB English/US English warnings can be pasted over with these if necessary.
If the CLV is installed in a machine/panel with the result that the laser warning labels are no longer visible, additional warnings (not included in the scope of delivery) must be provided on the machine beside the emergence aperture of the laser beam.
Internal protective circuits
The CLV is equipped with monitoring circuits that deactivate the laser diode in the event of a malfunction. No maintenance required to keep this product in compliance with laser class II.
Activation and deactivation of the laser diode is controlled by the reading pulse (trigger source).
A timer (laser timeout) automatically deactivates the laser diode in Reading mode ("Sensor input" and "Serial interface" trigger mode) if the reading interval has not ended after 10 minutes (default setting). However, it does not end the reading interval. In this case, the CLV outputs the message:
"Laser safety timeout"
on the terminal interface. The reading interval must be terminated by resetting the trigger signal. The laser diode is activated again by the next reading trigger.
The laser timeout can be set in the range of 1 min to 25 h or deactivated (see Table 6-23,
Page 6-37).
In the "Percentage Evaluation" mode, "Adjusting" mode and "Show CP-limits" mode as well as in the pulse mode "Free-running", in reading mode, the laser diode is constantly activated. In the pulse mode "Object Polling" the laser diode is activated due to the parameterized search/pause ratio. In the "Background Analysis" function the laser di­doe is constantly pulsed.
Note In the Reading mode, the CLV carries out a distance measurement referencing at regular
intervals. During referencing, it turns the laser diode on for a maximum of 10 seconds.

CLV 490 Bar Code Scanner

3.2 Method of operation

The CLV first scans the bar code with a scan line and then decodes it. In stand-alone con­figuration, the data is forwarded via the serial host interface (main data interface) to a host/ PC for further processing, or via the CAN interface to the OTS 400 Omni Tracking System. An overview of the CLV functions is provided in Fig. 3-2.

The CLV is equipped with two decoders:
The SMART decoder (SICK Modular Advanced Recognition Technology) for decoding
bar codes with small code height, bar codes that are dirty or damaged, as well as bar codes that are tilted excessively (azimuth angle)
The tried-and-tested standard decoder of the CLV series
The CLV derives useful diagnosis data from the reading process and can transfer it to also the host. It also records operating data that can be interrogated at any time. The quality of the read can be checked in percentage evaluation mode.
To start the reading process when an object is located in the reading field, the CLV requires a suitable trigger. This opens an internal time window ("reading interval") in the CLV. In the default configuration, this trigger is supplied by an external reading pulse sensor. Alternative trigger sources include Free-running mode or a command via the host interface (for more complex applications: object polling or OTS trigger).
The current operating status is indicated by four LEDs.
If the trigger is supplied externally, the "Sensor" switching input instructs the CLV to start the reading process. The five "IN 0" to "IN 4" switching inputs switch the focus position in response to certain events, as an alternative to the autofocus function. The "IN 3" and "IN 4” inputs can also be assigned special functions. The four "Result 1" to "Result 4" switching outputs can be assigned to different functions for displaying the result status and also control external devices, such as a PLC.
The CLV is operated and configured via the serial terminal interface (auxiliary interface) using the "CLV-Setup" software or via the host interface/terminal interface using command strings.

Product description
System and error messages help you to configure the device and to locate the source of errors during startup and reading mode.

3.2.1 Autofocus function

The autofocus function enables the CLV to detect the distance of an object during the read­ing process, without the need for external sensors, and then adjusts the focus position au­tomatically to the reading plane of the bar code. In order to do so, the CLV measures the object distance each time in its reading field in front of the reading window and internally cre­ates a distance profile. Following this, it positions the focus on the object.
3 operating modes are provided for various applications:
Minimum distance: the CLV focuses on the minimum distance in the distance profile and ignores the background in the reading field. Application: with unobstructed view of the object without any surrounding objects protruding into the reading plane. One object with bar code(s) only is inside the reading field during one reading pulse.
Differential background: the distance profile of the reading field background is pro- grammed (teach-in) in the CLV without any objects present. During the reading process, the CLV then focuses on the object which it recognizes by comparing the actual dis­tance profile to the distance profile of the background. Application: with unobstructed view of the object restricted by other objects that protrude constantly into the reading plane. One object with barcode(s) only is inside the reading field during one reading pulse.
Differential background and tracking: if several objects with different distances to the CLV are positioned in the reading field at the same time (distance conflict), the CLV fo­cuses on the object that is nearest to but has not exceed its internal focus switchover point. Application: in OTS operation (applications with internal tracking or tracking by the OTC 400 Omni Tracking Controller).
The distance profile of the background can also be displayed in the "CLV-Setup" program. The autofocus range is defined by the aperture angle, the autofocus space, and (in the case of line scanners with oscillating mirror) also by the angle of deflection. The park setting of the focus position, from which the device focuses for each read, can be specified in addition to a time and/or position-related delay (timeout or hysteresis). If necessary, an offset can be defined for the focus position to be set by the measurement. The depth of field, which radiates in the direction of the scan lines and is caused by the V-principle of the beam de­flection, is optimized as a result (Fig. 3-3).

CLV 490 Bar Code Scanner
In autofocus mode and in combination with the OTS 400 Omni Tracking System the CLV can also use the object height information from the OTS 400 or any other CLV transmitted via the CAN bus.

3.2.2 Event-controlled dynamic focus control

As an alternative to the autofocus function, the CLV can switch its focus position in response to certain events and thus dynamically cover a large reading range. A maximum of eight reading ranges can be defined as distance configurations for this purpose and approached consecutively in reading mode (see Fig. 3-4).

The switch over takes place in response to changes in the object distance (with reads from above: object height detection). The trigger source for the switchover can be:
A signal combination at the "IN 0" to "IN 4" switching inputs, a command on the host
interface/terminal interface or the integrated timer (e. g. for search mode). Additional in the case of the line scanner with oscillating mirror also the oscillating mirror reversal points. The distance configurations are assigned to the switchover sequence by means of a programmable assignment table.
In combination with the OTS 400 Omni Tracking System:
Alternatively the object height information from the OTS 400 or any other CLV via the CAN bus.
The distance measurement of the autofocus function can be additionally used to define the distance configurations.

3.2.3 Reading modes in stand-alone configuration

Start/stop mode
During the reading process, only one object is located in the reading field in start/stop mode, i. e. all read bar codes can be clearly assigned to the object. As default, two reading pulse sensors at the beginning and at the end of the reading field control the starting and stopping of the reading process (Fig. 3-5). The size of the reading field is determined by the distance between the two sensors. Alternatively, the reading process can be controlled with

Product description
command strings via the data interface or can be left free running. The CLV either outputs the reading result at the end of the reading pulse (the back edge of the object has left the end of reading field) or already during the reading pulse as a result of predefined (parame­trized) conditions. To separate bar codes of the same type with identical contents, an incre­mental encoder must be connected to the CLV.
In object polling mode, the CLV automatically detects the beginning and the end of the ob­ject located in the reading field without any help of external sensors. The minimum temporal distance between two consecutive objetcs must not fall below 70 ms when the objects are moved on the conveyor belt.
Tracking mode
During the reading process, max. 10 objects can simultaneously be located in the reading field (following each other) in internal tracking mode, i. e. the CLV must be able to clearly assign the bar codes to the objects (Fig. 3-5). As default, a reading pulse sensor at the be­ginning of the reading field controls the starting of the reading process. The end of the rea­ding field is determined by the parametrized object release point in the CLV. In this way, the size of the reading field is clearly determined.
In order to track the transport of the objects in the reading field, a regularly-timed pulse is required. This is generated by an external incremental encoder which regularly supplies a pulse at least every 10 mm (0.39 in) of movement in conveying direction. As a result, the the distance between the reading pulse sensor and the object release point is clearly time­mapped in the CLV. Fluctuations when approaching the conveyor or decreases in speed due to heavy load with numerous conveyor obejcts are also recorded. An internal clock in the CLV also allows operation at a constant conveyor speed. A gap of at least 50 mm (1.97 in) is necessary for the clear separation of consecutive objects. The reading result for an object is output after the back edge of the object passes the object release point. Alternatively, the reading process can be started with a command strings via the data interface.

3.2.4 Scan procedure variants

Line scanner (standard device)
Generates a scan line; due to the V-principle of the beam generation, the reading field height (the useful length of the scan line for evaluation purposes) is dependent on the reading distance.

Chapter 3 Operating Instructions
Product description
CLV 490 Bar Code Scanner
Line scanner with oscillating mirror
The oscillating mirror also deflects the scan line perpendicularly to the scan direction at both sides around the neutral position with a low oscillating frequency. As a result, the CLV can also scan larger areas for bar codes. Due to the V-principle of beam generation, the reading field height is dependent on the reading distance.
In addition to parking (fixed position) and simple deflection with maximum amplitude, opti­mized oscillating mirror functions are also available:
Oscillating with variable deflection amplitude per distance configuration
One-Shot: one-off, defined deflection per reading pulse (forward and return phase)

3.2.5 Additional components

Heater
The CLV can be permanently equipped with a heater for applications involving temperatures up to max. –35 °C (–31 °F) (e. g. in a freezer).
The design, technical data, and power-up behavior of the CLV are described in Chapter 10.4
Optional heating, Page 10-40.
External parameter memory in connector cover
The external parameter memory is located in a connector cover which, when mounted, covers the two electrical terminals on the CLV (IP 65). The parameter memory saves you time when a CLV is replaced locally by providing a copy of the current parameter set. In other words, you do not have to configure the new device.
For information on applications and operating procedures, see Chapter 10.3 Installing and
operating the external parameter memory (connector cover), Page 10-34.

3.3 Indicators and control elements

3.3.1 Control elements

The CLV is operated and configured via the terminal interface (auxiliary interface) using the "CLV-Setup" program or using command strings sent via the host interface/terminal inter­face. A variety of parameter options allow you to adapt the device to a wide range of appli­cations.
The following can be defined:
The configuration of the code types
The read, evaluation, and output properties
The communication parameters of the host interface/CAN interface
The structure of the data output string for "Good Read" and "No Read" on the host in-
terface/CAN interface
The function of the terminal interface
Chapter 10.6 Installing and operating the "CLV-Setup" program, Page 10-43 describes the
procedure for installing the "CLV-Setup" program and explains how to use it. The parame­terization (configuration) procedure is explained in Chapter 6.4 Configuring (parameterizati-
on) the CLV, Page 6-5.

4.2.5 Selecting the mounting location

When you select the mounting location, the distance between the CLV and the host and between the CLV and the bar code are extremely important.
Distance between the CLV and the host
The CLV can be mounted at a maximum distance of 1,200 m (3, 937 ft) from the host with­out a connection to the SICK network or a bus. In practice, however, the distance depends on the physical configuration of the host interface and the data transfer rate (see
Table 5-21, Page 5-17).
Distance between the CLV and the CDB 420 or CDM 490 Connection Module
The CDB 420 or CDM 490 Connection Module should not be located further than 10 m (32.8 ft) from the CLV, since the "CLV-Setup" program on the PC accesses the terminal in­terface (RS 232) of the CLV via this module.

4.2.7 Distance between the CLV and the bar code

Basic alignment between the CLV and the bar code
Depending on the application, the line scanner or line scanner with oscillating mirror versions of the CLV is used. Fig. 4-4 shows how the device is aligned with the bar code on the object for each of the two scanning methods.

Angular alignment of the CLV
The alignment of the CLV is optimum when the scan line travels over the bar code lines almost at a right angle (90°) (Fig. 4-4). All possible reading angles that can occur between the scan line and the bar code must be taken into consideration (Fig. 4-6 and Table 4-1).

Table 4-1: Permissible reading angles between the scan line and bar code
Note If reading from the front, mount the CLV above the conveyor belt in such a way against the
conveying direction that the scan line hits the object under a skew of approx. 10°.
Avoiding surface reflection
If the light from the scan line strikes the surface of the bar code vertically, interference may be caused by reflections when the returned light is received. To avoid surface reflection, the CLV must be mounted in such a way that the emitted light is tilted slightly with respect to the vertical axis (Fig. 4-7).

In the case of the line scanner with oscillating mirror, the laser beam is emitted at an angle of 105° with respect to the housing as it passes through the neutral position (CW = 50) while oscillating. The device can only be flush-mounted with the conveyor belt with limited deflection ranges. Otherwise, the device must also be mounted at an angle of 15° to ensure that the deflection ranges are symmetric.

CLV 490 Bar Code Scanner
Note In oscillating mode with variable amplitude, the scan line must always sweep the neutral
position (CW = 50). This means that oscillation is not possible in the range 60 CW to 80 CW, for example, but is possible in the range 40 CW to 80 CW.

4.2.8 Count direction of the code position CP and code angle CW

Explanation The CLV can scan and decode several bar codes with each read. In doing so, it determines
the specific local reading diagnosis data for each bar code:
The position (CP value) of the center of the bar code within the scan line
(Scanning method using the oscillating mirror) also the angle of deflection of the scan
line (CW value) at which the center of the bar code is recorded
Fig. 4-8 shows the count direction of the code position and code angle. In the case of the
line scanner, the count direction of the code position is marked by a small triangle above the reading window.
By determining this data, the device can separate identical bar codes (code type, code length, and data content identical) and assign the bar code data in the reading result to its position on the object.

4.3 Mounting and adjusting the device

4.3.1 Mounting the CLV

1. Prepare the base for mounting the bracket as described in Chapter 4.2.2 Required ac-
cessories, Page 4-1.
2. Place the object containing the bar code within the reading field of the CLV (in the posi­tion at which it is to be read) with the conveyor belt switched off.
3. Align the CLV with the bar code (in accordance with the scanning method) in such a way that
– with the line scanner the back of the device with the LEDs is almost parallel with the
bar code surface,
– with the line scanner with oscillating mirror, the broad side wall (back of the oscillating
mirror) is almost parallel with the bar code surface
All of the possible reading angles must be taken into consideration (see Fig. 4-6,
Page 4-5).
4. If it is relevant for the evaluation, note the count direction of the code position and code angle (see Fig. 4-8, Page 4-6).
5. Mount the CLV bracket on the base.
Risk of damage to the device
The maximum depth of engagement of the two blind hole threads M6 is 7 mm (0.28 in). Longer screws will damage the device.
¾ Use screws with the correct length.
6. Screw the screws M6 through the bracket into the blind hole threads of the CLV.
7. Tighten the screws slightly.
8. Adjust the CLV as described below.

4.3.2 Adjusting the CLV

The CLV can be adjusted in Percentage Evaluation mode. In this mode, the CLV displays the quality of the bar code reads that enter the CLV reading field statically (the object is not moved on the conveyor belt). The CLV performs 100 scans and evaluates the reading quality statistically. It then outputs the reading results every 2 s on the terminal interface.
Note In default setting, the CLV operates in the autofocus mode "Minimum distance“. As a result,
the CLV focuses on the object that is nearest in Percentage Evaluation mode. The view on the object with the scan line must be unobstructed, i. e. any other objects must not protude into the autofocus space. If they do so, the autofocus mode "Differential background“ must be selected. Alternatively a fixed focus position can be set. See Chapter c) Parameterizing
focus control, Page 6-12.
The behavior of the "Read Result" LED also indicates the reading quality:
The LED is extinguished if reading quality is < 30 %
The LED flashes twice per second if the reading quality is 30 % to 70 %
The LED flashes five times per second if the reading quality is 70 % to 90 %
The LED is lit continuously if the reading quality is > 90 %
The scanning frequency in the default setting is 800 Hz.
1. Connect the CLV to the CDB 420 or CDM 490 Connection Module and switch on the
power supply (see Chapter 5.5.3 Connecting the supply voltage, Page 5-19). After it has started, the CLV confirms that the self-test was successfuly and switches to reading mode ("Device Ready" LED lights up).
2. Connect the PC to the terminal interface of CLV. To do so, connect a 3-core RS 232 data cable (null modem cable) to the internal 9-pin "Aux" plug of the CDB 420 or CDM 490 (see Chapter 5.5.6 Connecting the PC, Page 5-22).
3. Start Windows and the "CLV-Setup" program (see Chapter 10.6.3 Starting CLV-Setup,
Page 10-46).
Choosing the standard decoder:
4. Choose the CODE CONFIGURATION tab.
5. Click the S
TANDARD option in the DECODER section.
6. Download the settings to the CLV. To do so, click the S D
OWNLOAD PARAMETER in the context menu.
TANDARD option again with the right mouse button and choose
CLV-Setup copies the parameter to the CLV temporarily. The CLV then operates with the standard decoder (until the CLV is switched off).
Activating Percentage Evaluation mode:
7. From the V
IEW menu, choose PERCENTAGE EVALUATION.
The dialog box for entering the distance configuration appears.
8. Click the relevant distance configuration for the reading distance:
– with autofocus mode the distance configuration no. 1
– with event-controlled dynamic focus control the distance configuration that matches
the reading distance of the object (default: no. 1, focus position F = 1,200 mm (47.3 in)).
9. Confirm the dialog box with OK. The Terminal Emulator is launched and displays the reading result continuously (see
Chapter 6.5.2 Percentage evaluation, Page 6-42).

Installation
Monitor the reading quality (%) during each of the subsequent steps!
Line scanner with oscillating mirror:
In the "Percent Evaluation" mode, the CLV behaves in the following manner:
– in "Oscillating" mode (default setting: oscillating with a fixed amplitude), the CLV shuts
off oscillation and positions the scan line under the angle CW = 50 (corresponds to an angle of deflection of 105°). This position cannot be altered.
– in "One-Shot" mode, the CLV also positions the scan line under the angle CW = 50
– in "Set Position" mode, the scan line’s selected position remains unchanged.
Performing fine adjustment:
10. Align the CLV in such a way that the angle between the scan line and the bars on the
bar code CLV is almost 90°. The oscillating mirror must be aligned in such a way that the scan line is located at the center of the bar code, perpendicular to the bar code lines, when it is in the neutral position (CW = 50).
11. To avoid interfering reflections, tilt the line scanner away from the vertical axis so that
the light strikes the bar code at an angle of approx. 105° (see Fig. 4-7, Page 4-5).
12. If necessary, position the scan line exactly at the direct center of the bar code.
See Chapter 4.3.3 Adjusting mode below.
13. Move objects carrying bar codes into the CLV reading field manually under realistic conditions and check the reading result. If the objects are aligned randomly, or if the bar code is located at different positions (angles), ensure that the limit values of the permissible reading angles are not exceeded.
14. Adjust the CLV in such a way that the good read rate is between 70 ... 100 %. With event-controlled dynamic focus control, for each defined reading range (distance configuration), check the selected focus position and correct the parameter settings if necessary (see Chapter 6.4.4 Guide to parameterization menu, Page 6-9).
15. Tighten the screws on the CLV.
The CLV is aligned with the bar code.

4.3.3 Adjusting mode

The "Adjusting mode" helps you to position the center of the scan line on the object. To do so, the CLV masks out one half of the scan line from the center (code position CP = 50 to CP = 100). This is irrespective of whether the CLV is operated in Autofocus mode or with distance configurations for event-driven dynamic focus control. Fig. 4-9 shows the resulting position of the scan line (line scanner).

1. Activate the operating mode as described in Chapter 6.5.3 Adjusting mode, Page 6-44.
2. Position the CLV in such a way that the center of the scan line, indicated by the end of the scan line (code position CP = 50), is located at the center of the bar code, or at the center of the field for all codes if several bar codes are used.
Show CP Limits
The "Show CP Limits" operating mode allows you to test whether the desired effect was pro­duced by narrowing the scan line’s active evaluation range. The CLV alternatively hides cer­tain parts of the scan line in accordance with the selected min. and max. values of the code position.
For activation of this operating mode and for checking, See Chapter 6.5.5 Show CP-limits,

4.4 Mounting the external components

4.4.1 Mounting the CDB 420 or CDM 490 Connection Module

1. Mount the CDB 420 or CDM 490 Connection Module near the CLV. The distance between the connection module and CLV should not exceed max. 10 m (32.8 ft).
2. Mount the CDB 420 or CDM 490 in such a way that accessed to the open device is always possible. The terminal interface of the CLV is accessed via the 9-pin, internal "Aux" plug.
Detailed information on the mounting and electrical installation procedures is provided in the "CDB 420 Connection Module" Operating Instructions (order no. 8 010 001, German/En­glish) respectively in the "CDM 490 Connection Module" Operating Instructions (order no. 8 010 005, German/English).

4.4.2 Mounting the external reading pulse sensor

If the CLV is triggered by an external reading pulse sensor, the sensor must be mounted in the vicinity of the CLV. The "Sensor" switching input is selected as the default trigger source for this trigger type. The default debounce time of the input is 30 ms.
Fig. 4-10 shows two examples of where a photoelectric reflex switch can be mounted. This
depends on the distance a from the bar code to the front of the object. Depending on the application, you may need to mount the sensor in such a way that bar codes on objects of different sizes can be read completely during the reading interval ("internal reading gate").

be selected. Alternatively a fixed focus position can be set. See Chapter c) Parameterizing
focus control, Page 6-12.
Installing the reading pulse sensor for start/stop mode:
1. Mount the reading pulse sensor.
2. Connect the reading pulse sensor to the "Sensor (1)" switching input of the CLV via the
CDB 420 or CDM 490 Connection Module (see Chapter 5.5.7 Connecting the "Sensor"
switching input, Page 5-23).
3. Connect the CLV to the CDB 420 or CDM 490 Connection Module and switch on the
power supply to the module (see Chapter 5.5.3 Connecting the supply voltage,
Page 5-19).
After it has started, the CLV confirms that the self-test was successfull and switches to Reading mode ("Device Ready" LED lights up).
4. Connect the PC to the terminal interface of CLV. To do so, connect a 3-core RS 232 data cable (null modem cable) to the internal 9-pin "Aux" plug of the CDB 420 or CDM 490 (see Chapter 5.5.5 Connecting the CAN interface, Page 5-22).
5. Start Windows and the "CLV-Setup" program (see Chapter 10.6.3 Starting CLV-Setup,
Page 10-46).
6. From the VIEW menu, choose READING MODE. The Terminal Emulator is launched. The CLV is in Reading mode (default: SMART decoder). Monitor the reading result during each of the subsequent steps!
Line scanner with oscillating mirror:
In default setting, the CLV deflects the scan line (default setting) about the fixed position CW = 50 with a frequency of 1 Hz at a max. angle of ±20° (±40 CW). 50 CW corresponds to an angle of emergence of 105°.
7. Move objects with bar codes into the CLV reading field manually under realistic condi­tions and check whether the reading result and trigger pulse are correct.
8. Repeat the procedure with the conveyor switched on. Check whether the reading procedure is synchronized with the objects.
Parameterizing an external sensor as a trigger source:
These settings are not required if the CLV is operated with the default configuration.
1. Choose the DEVICE CONFIGURATION tab.
2. In the R
EADING TRIGGER SOURCE section click the option SENSOR INPUT (ACTIVE HIGH).
3. Download the settings to the CLV by clicking in the toolbar. The D
OWNLOAD PARAMETERS dialog box is then displayed.
4. Confirm the dialog box by choosing P
ERMANENT.
The CLV operates with the "Sensor" switching input as an external trigger source. The reading pulse starts when the input is energized (high).

4.4.3 Installing incremental encoder

In the reading mode "Tracking", an incremental encoder is required for determining which bar codes belong to which objects. The encoder is also required to separate bar codes of the same symbology with identical content.
1. Install the incremental encoder (e. g. no. 2 022 714) near the CLV but in front of it, preferably against the direction of the conveyor belt. The increment pulses must originate from the area of the conveyor belt which the CLV is reading.

2. Ensure that the incremental encoder is contacting the conveyor and that the friction wheel turns without slipping.
3. Connect incremental encoder to the "IN4" switching input of the CLV (not available via the terminals of the CDB 420 Connection Module). See Chapter 5.5.8 Connecting the
"IN 0" to "IN 4" switching inputs, Page 5-24.

4.4.4 Mounting the sensors for detecting the object distance

If the dynamic focus control function of the CLV is triggered by external sensors, suitable sensors must be mounted in the vicinity of the CLV. Fig. 4-11 shows an example of a read operation from above. The sensors must be arranged in such a way that all of the potential object heights are classified uniquely and overlapping reading ranges occur that can be formed with the depths of field of the CLV. A maximum of five switching inputs are available for this purpose. A max. of 32 switching states for 8 distance configurations (reading ranges) can be implemented using the internal assignment table (combinations). Photoelectric reflex switches, for example, can be used to detect the object distance. In the default setting, all five "IN 0" ... "IN 4" switching inputs are selected for dynamic focus control.

2. Mount distance sensors (e. g. photoelectric reflex switches) one above the other in a row at the mounting location to measure the object distance (see also assignment
Table 5-28, Page 5-25). It is advisable to mount these distance sensors opposite the
direction of motion of the conveyor belt at approx. 100 mm (3.94 in) in front of the read­ing pulse sensor.
3. Connect the distance sensors to the "IN 0" ... "IN 4" switching inputs on the CLV via the CDB 420 or CDM 490 Connection Module (see Chapter 5.5.7 Connecting the "Sensor"
switching input, Page 5-23). Via the terminals of the CDB 420 Connection Module only
the IN 0 input can be connected.

5.2.3 Connections/cables for the CDB 420 Connection Modules

The CDB 420 Connection Module is suitable for connecting one CLV without/with heater to peripherals (distribution function) and the power supply. The module can be used to es­tablish a connection to the host (point-to-point) or to integrate the device in a SICK CAN Scanner Network. The module is available in two variants and can be operated without op­tional modules (see below) with an operating temperature to –35 °C (–31 °F). For technical data see Chapter 10.13.2 Connection modules, Page 10-75.
Optional modules for building-in into the CDB 420:
CMC 400 Connection Module Cloning for saving the parameters of the CLV externally
Because only one 15-pin D Sub HD socket respectively screw terminal strips for the power supply via cable glands are available for connecting the CLV to the CDB 420, the number of signals which can be connected using the terminal strips in the CDB 420 are limited.

5.2.4 Connections/cables for the CDM 490 Connection Module

The CDM 490 Connection Module is suitable for connecting one CLV without/with heater to peripherals (distribution function) and the power supply. The module can be used to es­tablish a connection to the host (point-to-point), to integrate the device in a SICK CAN Scan­ner Network or in field bus systems. The module is available in one variant and can be operated without optional modules (see below) with an operating temperature to –35 °C (–31 °F). For technical data see Chapter 10.13.2 Connection modules, Page 10-75.
Optional modules for building-in into the CDM 490:
CMP 490 Power Supply Module in optional cover for supplying the CLV without heater
directly from an AC power line
CMC 400 Connection Module Cloning for saving the parameters of the CLV externally
CMD 400 Connection Display Module in optional cover for representation of reading re-
sults and reading diagnosis data
CMF 400 Bus Modules (field bus gateways) for connecting the CLV to Profibus DP,
DeviceNet or Ethernet TCP/IP
The CMP 490 Power Supply Module can not be used if the CMD 400 Display Module has always been built-in (or vice versa).
For detailed description of function and installation see the corresponding Fitting/Operating Instructions (see Chapter 10.15 Supplementary documentation, Page 10-82).
Fig. 5-2 shows the connection principle of the CDM 490.

Connecting the CLV to the CDM 490
a) CLV without heater
The following connection cables without connector cover for the CLV can be used:
2 x no. 2 020 302 (3 m (3.84 ft)) or 2 x no. 2 021 815 (10 m (32.8 ft)). Pin assignment identical to device connection of the CLV. The cables can be extended to 10 m (32.8 ft) (terminal interface: RS 232!).
The following connection cables with connector cover for the CLV can be used:
No. 2 020 307 (3 m (3.84 ft)).
b) CLV with heater:
The following connection cables with connector cover for the CLV can be used:
No. 2 030 065 (3 m (3.84 ft)), no. 2 031 034 (10 m (32.8 ft)) or no. 2 027 543 (3 m (3.84 ft)).
The cables must not be extended! If longer cables are required, the entire power supply sys- tem (Pin 1/Pin 5) must be connected with a wire cross-section of at least 0.75 mm
2
(approx.
20 AWG) with a maximum length of 10 m (32.8 ft).
Note To avoid strain on the power supply lines when connecting the CLV with heater to the CDM
490, please make sure to use the correct cable wire diameters for the incoming cables of the power supply to the CDM 490 and to use corresponding fuses. Use only the screw ter­minals 1 to 4 for connecting the power supply. The input voltage connected to the screw terminals 1 and 2 is directly available on the screw terminal 3 and 4 for connecting the CLV 490, independent of the S1 switch (Power).
Chapter 5.3 Connector pin assignment, Page 5-7 shows the pin assignments of the 15-pin
plug connections and the open cable ends on the side of the CDM 490.

5.2.5 Connections/cables for a non-SICK power pack

For connecting the CLV to a non-SICK power pack cables with open ends on the side of the power pack are available.
a) CLV without heater:
The following connection cables without connector cover for the CLV can be used:
No. 2 020 303 (3 m (3.84 ft)) and no. 2 020 264 (3 m (3.84 ft)). Pin assignment identical to device connection of the CLV. The cables can be extended to 10 m (32.8 ft) (terminal interface: RS 232!).
The following connection cables with connector cover for the CLV can be used:
No. 2 020 981 (3 m (3.84 ft)) or no. 2 021 267 (3 m (3.84 ft)).

Max. 10 m (32.8 ft) Max. 3 m (9.84 ft)
Max. 1,200 m (3,936 ft) Max. 500 m (1,640 ft)
The CLV requires a supply voltage of 18 to 30 V DC for operation without a heater and 24 V DC +20 %/–10 % for operation with a heater (functional extra-low voltage in accor­dance with IEC 364-4-41). The functional extra-low voltage can be generated by using a safety transformer pursuant to IEC 742. The power consumption of the individual types is as follows:
Type Voltage Scanning method Heater
CLV 490-0010/-2010/-6010 CLV 490-1010/-3010/-7010
CLV 490-0011/-2011/-6011 CLV 490-1011/-3011/-7011

Power consumption
11 W (typ.)/max. 16 W 13 W (typ.)/max. 18 W
75 W (typ.)/max. 90 W 75 W (typ.)/max. 100 W
Via the CDB 420 or CDM 490 Connection Module the CLV without heater is supplied with 18 to 30 V DC, the CLV with heater is supplied with 24 V DC +20 %/10 %. If the CMP 490 Power Supply Module in the CDM 490 is used for the CLV without heater, the input voltage is 100 to 250 V AC/50 to 60 Hz.
Power-up delay
The selected device number (default: 1) affects the power-up delay of the device. This is useful if a large number of CLVs (e. g. in the SICK CAN Scanner Network) are to be supplied from one power source. Table 5-23 contains a list of the available intervals.

5.4.3 Non-SICK Power supply unit/connections without the Connection Module

Power output
If an non-Sick Power supply unit is used, it must be capable of providing the following voltage and power values:
For CLV without heater: 18 to 30 V DC, min. 20 W continuous power output
For CLV with heater: 24 V DC +20 %/–10 %, min. 100 W
The non-Sick Power supply unit must provide the functional extra-low voltage in accordance with IEC 364-4-41.
The output circuit must be reliably electrically isolated from the input circuit. To do so, use a safety isolating transformer pursuant to IEC 742.
Wire cross-section
The wire cross-section for the power supply (Pin 1/Pin 5) should be at least 0.15 mm (approx. 26 AWG) or 0.75 mm

5.5.8 Connecting the "IN 0" to "IN 4" switching inputs

If the Autofocus function is not used and the CLVs dynamic focus control function is to be triggered by external sensors, the sensors are connected to the five inputs "IN 0" to "IN 4". Together with the internal assignment table, these can be used to configure a maximum of 32 switching states for up to 8 distance configurations. The dynamic focus control function is selected for all inputs by default.
Additional function "IN 3":
The "IN 3" input can also be used as a trigger source for the One-Shot function of the oscil­lating mirror.
Additional function "IN 4":
The input "IN 4" can also be used as:
A trigger source for the One-Shot function of the oscillating mirror
An input for a belt increment signal in reading mode "Tracking" and/or for separating
bar codes of the same symbology with identical content
A trigger source for the end of reading interval
In this case, a maximum of 16 switching statuses can be used for dynamic focus control.

5.5.9 Connecting the "Result 1" to "Result 4" switching outputs

The four switching outputs can be assigned different functions for outputting result statuses independently of each other. If the assigned event occurs during the reading procedure, the corresponding switching output becomes live at the end of the reading pulse for the select­ed pulse duration. The pulse duration can be set individually for each output.
The "Read Result" LED is linked to the "Result 2" output and lights up in Reading mode for the selected pulse duration and function of the result status display (default: Good Read, 100 ms).
Fig. 5-7 shows the connections for the "Result 1" to "Result 4" switching outputs. Table 5-30 shows the pin assignment on the CLV. Table 5-31 contains the characteristic
data for these outputs. The four outputs have the same characteristic data.

6.3 Quick start

A PC need not be connected when the CLV is operated with the factory default settings. Code 39, 2/5 Interleaved, and Code 128 are the default code types enabled (free code lenght, 2/5 Interleaved: interval 4 to 50 characters).

6.3.1 Starting up the CLV with the factory default settings

1. Connect the CLV as followed: CDB 420 Connection Module: use the cable no. 2 027 046 (connector cover, IP 65). Alternatively, connect the CLV via the cable no. 2 030 023 (connector cover with exter­nal parameter memory, IP 65). CDM 490 Connection Module: use two cables no. 2 020 302. Alternatively, connect the CLV via the cable no. 2 020 307 (connector cover with exter­nal parameter memory, IP 65).
2. Connect the reading pulse sensor (e. g. photoelectric reflex switch) to the "Sensor (1)" switching input of the CLV via the CDB 420 or CDM 490 (see Chapter 5.5.7 Connecting
the "Sensor" switching input, Page 5-23).
3. Switch on the power supply of the CDB 420 or CDM 490. The CLV starts. The "Device Ready" LED lights up. The "Result 1" ("Device Ready") output switches.
CLV with external parameter memory in the connector cover connected : If no CMC 400 parameter memory module is available in the CDB 420 or CDM 490 Connection Module the CLV will operated as followed: If an external parameter memory in the connector cover containing a corresponding parameter set is connected to the CLV, the "Device Ready" LED blinks for 10 s when the device starts up correctly and then lights up constantly. If the external parameter memory in the connector cover is empty, the CLV copies its parameter set to the external parameter memory. Then the "Device Ready" LED lights up. The CLV is ready for operation. If a CMC 400 is available in the CDB 420 or CDM 490 the CLV cancels the function of the external parameter memory in the connector cover. The CLV supports the CMC 400 from firmware V 3.30 on.
Line scanner with oscillating mirror:
In the default setting, the CLV deflects the scan line around the position CW = 50 with a frequency of 1 Hz and an oscillating amplitude of ±20° (±40 CW). 50 CW correspond to a deflection angle below 105°.
4. Start the reading pulse: block the light path of the photoelectric switch or close the switch. The "Sensor" LED lights up. The CLV switches the laser diode on and the red scan line appears.
5. Present the bar code pattern (Fig. 6-1, Page 6-4) to the CLV at the reading distance specified in Table 6-3.
The scan line must not hit any object in a distance closer to the CLV than the represented bar code (default setting: autofocus mode "Minimum distance").
6. Align the bar code in such a way that the red scan line is almost at a 90° angle to the bars (line scanner) or that the red scan line sweeps the bars at a 90° angle when it is deflected (oscillating mirror).
7. End the reading pulse: unblock the light path of the photoelectric switch or open the switch. The "Sensor" LED is extinguished. The CLV switches the laser diode off. The CLV confirms that the bar code was read successfully (the "Read Result" LED lights up for 100 ms). The "Result 2" ("Good Read") output is switched for a duration of 100 ms.

6.4 Configuring (parameterization) the CLV

The CLV adapts to the reading situation locally with the configuration. The read, evaluation and output characteristics can, therefore, be parameterized as required on the basis of the factory default settings or an application-specific CLV parameter set that has already been created.
The CLV supports two different configuration methods:
Configuration via the "CLV-Setup" program (parameter values are set via the serial interface)
Configuration via command strings (parameter values are set via the serial interface). See Chapter 10.7 Configuring a CLV with command strings, Page 10-53.
In the Parameterization mode, the CLV outputs no reading result.

6.4.1 Configuring the CLV via the user interface of CLV-Setup

To be able to use CLV-Setup, a PC has to be connected and the program installed on it. The procedure for connecting the PC to the CLV is described in Chapter 5.5.6 Connecting the
PC, Page 5-22. The procedures for installing and starting the "CLV-Setup" program and for
starting and operating the user interface are described in the Appendix (Chapter 10.6
Installing and operating the "CLV-Setup" program, Page 10-43).
Transferring a parameter set between CLV-Setup and the CLV
Upload
When the CLV is being parameterized, CLV-Setup runs in the offline mode. To be able to modify the current parameter set of the CLV, this first has to be loaded to CLV-Setup from the CLV. This procedure is referred to as an upload ("Upload from CLV" in the CLV 490 menu or [F3] key) during which CLV-Setup always loads a complete copy of the current CLV parameter set. This parameter set remains unchanged until it is overwritten by CLV-Setup.
With the help of the context menu (right mouse button), only the parameter just edited can be loaded ("Upload parameter") or from version 3.6 all parameters of one tab or one dialog box ("Upload parameters of this view") from the CLV’s memory (RAM).
Download
Changes made to the current parameter set in CLV-Setup do not take effect until the parameter set has been transferred to the CLV. CLV-Setup always sends a copy of the complete parameter set to the CLV, i. e. all of the existing parameter values in the CLV are overwritten. The procedure for transferring and saving the parameter values in the CLV is referred to as a download ("Download to CLV" in the CLV 490 menu or [F4] key).
With the help of the context menu (right mouse button), only the parameter just edited ("Download parameter") or from version 3.6 all parameters of one tab or one dialog box ("Download parameters of this view") will be temporarily loaded into the CLV’s memory (RAM). To finish the parametrization done by this way all parameters must be download again to the CLV with the "Permanent" option.
Loading a complete CLV parameter set (upload)
¾ Click in the toolbar or press [F3] key.
CLV-Setup loads the current CLV parameter set from the RAM of the CLV to its database and displays the values in the tabs. The "Device Ready" LED is extinguished during the upload.

2. Confirm the dialog box with the desired storage option. The "Device Ready" LED lights up again.
The new parameter set is stored in the CLV either permanently or temporarily dependent of the selected option.
CLV with external parameter memory
If the parameter set was downloaded and stored permanently, CLV-Setup opens a further dialog box for adjusting the parameter set in the external memory, if the start option is set to S
TART WITH EXTERNAL PARAMETERS.
¾ Choose the C
OPY NOW INTERNAL PARAMETER SET TO EXTERNAL MEMORY option.
CLV-Setup then instructs the CLV to copy the new parameter set to the external memory. The "Device Ready" LED lights up again.
The internal and external parameter sets are now identical. See also Chapter 10.3.5 Adjusting the parameter set in the external parameter memory
(connector cover) after it has been downloaded to the CLV, Page 10-37.
Saving the parameter set in CLV-Setup
1. To save the modified parameter set as a new configuration file in CLV-Setup, or to overwrite an existing file, choose F The S
AVE AS ... dialog box is then displayed.
ILE and SAVE AS.
2. Enter the file name in the dialog box (file name extension "*.scl") and confirm the entry.

Chapter 6 Operating Instructions
Operation
CLV 490 Bar Code Scanner
a)Parameterizing reading area
Irrespective of the type of focus control, the reading area defines the area along the scan line in which the CLV always evaluates bar codes. In combination with the multiple focus position switchover/autofocus, this produces a vertical plane relative to the CLV (or a tunnel in the case of object tracking in conveyor mode). During evaluation, the CLV rejects any bar codes detected outside the defined area.
Condition: reading from above with line scanner
CP limits: Simple delimitation of the reading area (circle segment) by restricting the active scan angle range without reference to a point of origin (Fig. 6-2). The scan angle range is max. ±30° for a line scanner and max. ±25° for a line scanner with oscillating mirror.
Reading space: Sharp delimitation of the active reading area by defining the area through which the object must pass in the circle segment. This produces a rectangular reading space with reference to a point of origin. For use in conveyor systems where the conveyor belts are very close to each other and the scan line partly extends over adjacent belts because the CLV is installed above the belt. The position of the CLV in relation to the defined reading space and the point of origin must also be parameterized (scanner position and angular position).
Reading space:CP limits
Fig. 6-2: Narrowing the reading space using limit values
Note In the case of the line scanner with oscillating mirror, the active deflection range of the
oscillating mirror can also be restricted (CW value).

See also Chapter 6.5.5 Show CP-limits, Page 6-47.
Recommendation Don’t configure the reading space if you use the free running mode in combination with a
fixed focus position (fix focus mode). Restrict the reading space using the CP-limits.
b) Selecting focus control mode
Autofocus:
Using the periodic distance measurement function, the CLV creates an up-to-date distance profile in its area of view with every 10th scan. From this profile, the CLV uses the selected autofocus mode, the parameterized limits of the autofocus area, and the taught-in background (optional) to automatically determine the required focus position for a detected object. The defined autofocus area should be within the limits of the parameterized reading area.
Event-controlled focus control:
The CLV controls its focus position by means of distance information, which it receives either externally via the switching inputs (reading from above: object height detection by means of photoelectric switches) and their assignment to parameterized distance configurations, or by means of command strings via the serial data interface (also with reference to distance configurations). In timer mode (search), the CLV changes its focus position step by step according to the parameterized number and sequence of distance configurations. The line scanner with oscillating mirror also uses – similar to the timer mode – its oscillating mirror reversal points at the maximum deflection points to trigger the switchover.
The time at which focusing occurs relative to the reading pulse can be selected for both types of focus control.

c) Parameterizing focus control
Autofocus
Condition: Reading from above
Minimum distance:
Relative to its surroundings, the object is always located at the shortest distance from the CLV. Example: object positioned directly on the conveyor belt without a container (tray, etc.) or interfering side boundaries Condition: only one object in the reading field during the reading interval.
Differential background:
The background can be closer to the CLV than the object. Example: object in a container on the conveyor belt; the container wall is higher than the object (closer to the CLV). Condition: only one object in the reading field during the reading interval.
Differential background and tracking:
Same as the "Differential background" function, except that in each reading pulse more than one object can be located in the reading field at the same time. On the basis of
the detected distances, the CLV assigns the required focus positions in its internal focus list to the objects and organizes the objects using a continuous increment in its object list. In this way, scanned bar-code information can be uniquely assigned to the individual objects. This is only available in the reading mode "Tracking" (internal tracking or reading mode "OTS trigger"), not in "Object polling" mode (one object only) of start/stop mode. For more detailed information, see also Chapter A2. Tracking mode (controlled
by Increment), Page 6-28.
Explanation Background teach-in:
For autofocus modes "Differential background" and "Differential background and tracking", the CLV can also teach in the ambient background in its area of view (e.g. if interfering objects in the conveyor system project into the defined autofocus area) in order to improve the evaluation of the current distance profile. When doing so, the CLV adjusts – among other things – the measured background by 100 mm (3.9 in) in its direction to compensate any measurement inaccuracies. The default background at a distance of 2,200 mm (86.7 in) is used in all other cases and, if necessary, the autofocus area is limited by means of the appropriate parameters. In this case, CLV measurement inaccuracies must be taken into account when the rectangular autofocus space is defined (see noteDistance measurement, page 6-16).

Note At a scanning frequency of 1,000 Hz, the typical response time for focus adjustment is
20 ms, or 30 ms if the entire range (between min. and max. focus position) is traversed. The CLV does not switch over the focus until the defined timeout has elapsed and the new focus position exceeds the parameterized hysteresis value relative to the old focus position. If the new focus position is within the hysteresis, the CLV does not switch over the focus. Depth-of-field optimization with respect to the object and the purpose of depth-of-field optimization are described in Chapter 3.2.1 Autofocus function, Page 3-7.

Event-controlled focus position switchover (alternative)
Event-controlled focus position switchover can be used if the autofocus function does not provide the expected accuracy for the application. Event-controlled focus position switchover is required in the following cases, for example:
Conveyed material with a black surface (e.g. vehicle tires)
The laser light emitted by the CLV is absorbed by the surface of the material, which means that the distance measurement may no longer be sufficiently accurate.
Conveyed material with highly reflective surfaces (e.g. anti-static bags)
Conveyed material with bar codes on the front edge in the conveying direction. At high
conveyor speeds, the CLV can no longer adjust the focus in time.

Explanation Distance measurement
The distance measurement carried out by the CLV is independent of the focus control type. It is used for automatic focus adjustment in autofocus mode and for determining the code distance. For the distance measurement, the CLV determines a distance value for each scan angle between –30° and +30° (line scanner) or between –25° and +25° (line scanner with oscillating mirror). These distance values are used to create an up-to-date distance profile between the min. and max. scan angle. Once mean value calculation has been carried out, the distance profile is available after every 10th scan (e.g. every 10 ms at a scanning frequency of 1,000 Hz). The distance measurement is carried out inside the limits of 400 to 2,200 mm (15.8 to 86.7 in). If an object is being conveyed, the CLV determines (with reading from above) an average object profile according to the conveyor speed. At 1,000 Hz and a speed of 2 m/s (6.6 ft/s), this occurs over a path of 20 mm (0.79 in) for each object.
The angular resolution of the periodic distance measurement is 1.5° in the scanning direction without an active median filter, and the typical distance measurement uncertainty

is ±50 mm (1.97 in). The median filter smoothes the values in the distance profile. An excessively high filter value reduces the angular resolution of the CLV: at the maximum reading distance, it may no longer be able to detect small objects or parts of objects. The minimum object width at the maximum focus position is the key factor for determining the filter length setting. The required reflectance of the objects is at least 12% in the measurement range from 700 to 1,300 mm (27.6 to 51.2 in) and at least 20% in the measurement range from 400 to 2,000 mm (15.8 to 86.7 in).
The CLV references the distance measurement with every reading pulse (in every search interval with the "Object polling" reading pulse mode). With reading pauses > 6 minutes, the CLV carries out referencing at regular intervals. To do so, it switches on the laser diode for max. 10 seconds.
The autofocus function requires active distance measurement, although this is not a requirement for event-controlled focus position switchover. In this case, however, the CLV can output the actual code distance instead of the current focus position in the "Code Info/ Separator" block. The CLV measures the code distance in the area between the start and stop character of a detected bar code and checks the distance against the parameterized autofocus limits (the autofocus limit is output if the parameterized limits are violated). If the distance measurement function is deactivated, the CLV first sets the parameterized preferred focus position.

CLV 490 Bar Code Scanner
Operation
Note The OSCILLATE WITH VARIABLE AMPILTUDE operating mode can only be selected from amplitudes
of min. ±10 CW and an oscillating frequency of 0.4 Hz or higher.
The scan line must always sweep the neutral position (CW = 50). This means that oscillation is not possible in the range 60 CW to 80 CW, for example, but is possible in the range 40 CW to 80 CW.
Explanation of oscillating mirror functions
1. "Oscillating with fixed amplitude" mode
The oscillating mirror deflects the scan line up to the maximum angle of deflection of ±40 CW (corresponds to ±20°). Fig. 6-4 illustrates this mode when a bar code is read from above.
Constant oscillating frequency

Scan line density depending on object height
Fig. 6-4: Oscillating mirror: "Oscillating with fixed amplitude" mode
2. "Oscillating with Variable Amplitude" mode
The deflection range can be parameterized separately for each of the maximum of 8 distance configurations/focus positions. The minimum/maximum values that can be set for the deflection range for fast applications ensure that the scan line only sweeps areas that contain bar codes during the time available. This also ensures that the scan line density on the object is, for the most part, constant. Fig. 6-5 illustrates this mode when a bar code is read from above.

3. "Fixed Position" mode
The CLV parks the oscillating mirror at the desired position. 10 CW corresponds to –20°, and 90 CW to +20° (see Fig. 4-8, Page 4-6). In the default setting, the fixed position is set to 50 CW (corresponds to an angle of deflection below 105°). The Oscillating mode is switched off.
4. "One-Shot" mode
In the "One-Shot" mode, the oscillating mirror only performs one specific oscillating movement per reading interval. This movement consists of a forward phase and a return phase. The start position of the scan line, the mirror speed and the valid distance configuration can be parameterized separately for each phase. The end position of the one phase forms the start position of the other phase. Fig. 6-6 illustrates this mode with object tracking. During the forward phase, the front of the object that moves towards the oscillating mirror is swept once by the scan line from top to bottom in accordance with the conveyor speed. Multiple focus position switchovers are not necessary as the required reading range (DOF) is much smaller than with the line scanner. Fig. 10-42, Page 10-57 explains how the start position and mirror speed are calculated for a given conveyor speed.

f) Parameterizing reading mode
The selected reading mode depends on the number of objects that are simultanously in the reading field of the CLV during each reading interval. This is independent of the number of bar codes on the actual object. Table 6-10 shows an overview of the configurations and applications.
A. CLV in stand-alone configuration
Configuration Application See Page
A. Stand-alone Start/stop mode
One object in reading field per reading interval, reading one side

Note The size of the reading field is determined by the distance between the start and stop
sensors in conveying direction (see Fig. 3-5, Page 3-9). In object polling mode, the CLV detects automatically an object entering or leaving the reading field.
To separate bar codes of the same type with identical contents, connect an incremental encoder and activate the "Compare Code Position" function. See also Chapter Separation
of identical bar codes (same code type/identical contents), Page 6-37.
