Bar Code Scanner

CLV610-C0000 CAN Mid Range
CLV615-F2000 FIELDBUS Long Range

Intended Use

The CLV61x bar code scanner is an intelligent SICK 4Dpro
sensor and is used exclusively for automatic, stationary iden-

tication and decoding of bar codes on moving or stationary

objects. The data content of the decoded bar codes is sent
by the CLV61x to a superordinate computer for further pro­cessing. Depending on the model, this is either done directly
via a serial data interface (RS-232) or indirectly via the
SICK CAN sensor network on a coordinating device (e.g.,
master).

Correct use also includes compliance with all information in
these operating instructions as well as in the supplemen­tary & “CLV61x Bar Code Scanner” Technical Information
(no. 8015592).

The product family CLV61x consists of the three series ECO,
CAN, and FIELDBUS (FIELDBUS in combination with the

optional CDF600-21xx eldbus module). Depending on the

model, the series offer the following options:

• Reading range variants (e.g., Short Range, Long Range)

• Line scanner or raster scanner

• Reading window on front or side

• Different connecting cable lengths

All devices have two serial data interfaces (HOST/AUX). The
CAN and FIELDBUS series also offer the SMART decoder for

identifying partly damaged or low-quality bar codes as well as
an additional CAN interface.

About This Document

The purpose of these operating instructions is to allow you
to put the CLV61x into operation quickly and easily and to
achieve initial read results as a stand-alone device.

The operating instructions describe the commissioning pro­cess for an application with a single CLV61x. This is done, for
example, using the device version CLV610-C0000 from the
CAN series and its default setting. The CDB620 connection
module, for example, is used for the industrial-standard signal
distribution of the CLV61x.

The operating instructions are valid for the following variants:

• CLV610-C0000 (CAN, Mid Range, line scanner, reading
window on front, SMART decoder)

• CLV615-F2000 (FIELDBUS, Long Range, line scanner,
reading window on side, CAN, SMART decoder)

In the following, the bar code scanner CLV61x is referred to in

simplied form as “CLV61x.”

Scope of Delivery

• CLV61x in the ordered version (series, reading range, scan­ning method, reading window orientation)

• Accessories that can be optionally ordered such as e.g.
brackets

Step 1: Mounting

NOTE

Radio interference may occur when the CLV61x is used in
residential areas!

> The CLV61x must be used exclusively in industrial environ-

ments (EN 61000-6-4).

Equipment Required

• 2 x M5 screws for mounting the CLV61x on a mounting de­vice (bracket). Screw length is dependent on the mounting
base (wall thickness of bracket). When using optional SICK
brackets, screws for the CLV61x are included.

Mounting Requirements

• The permitted ambient conditions for the operation of the
CLV61x must be complied with (e.g., temperature, radi­ated emission, ground potential  see section “Technical

Specications (Excerpt) Page 5” and section “Risk of
injury/risk of damage via electrical current! Page 2”).

• The device must only be mounted using the pairs of
threaded mounting holes provided for this purpose.

• Stable mounting device with sufcient load-bearing capac­ity and suitable dimensions for the CLV61x.
Weight depends on model, max. 206 g (not including
cables). For dimension drawing,  see section “Device
overview CLV61x” on page 3.

• Shock and vibration-free mounting.

• Clear view of the bar codes to be measured on the objects.

Mounting CLV61x

1. Select a suitable mounting location for the CLV61x with a
clear view of the object to be scanned. The mounting loca­tion and position depend on the respective reading range
of the CLV61x version. The available reading range is
dependent on the distance from the code and the required
resolution. The mounting location must therefore be cho-

sen whilst taking into account the respective reading eld

length and height, as well as resolution and depth of focus
( see section “Reading elds Page 5”).

2. Mount the CLV61x on a bracket using both screws.

Mounting example: use of quick-clamping device (clamp bracket)
no. 2025526 in combination with the mounting bracket no. 2020410

3. Depending on the scanning method, roughly align the
CLV61x on the object with the bar code to be measured.

Connection Module CDB620

> Mount the CDB620 connection module in the vicinity of

the CLV61x. Through the serial data interfaces (RS-232)
recommended cable length max. 5 m between both
devices. Mount the CDB620 in such a way that the device
can be accessed at all times. In relation to this, see &
“CDB620 Connection Module” Operating Instructions (no.

8012119).

Step 2: Electrical Connection

• The electrical installation must only be performed by
qualied electricians.

• The currently applicable safety regulations must be

observed when working in electrical systems!

• Electrical connections between the CLV61x and other de-

vices may only be created or xed when there is no power

to the system. Otherwise, the devices may be damaged.

• When using extension cables with open ends, ensure that
bare wire ends do not come into contact with each other
(risk of short-circuit when supply voltage is switched on!).
Wires must be appropriately insulated from each other.

• Wire cross sections of the supply cable from the cus­tomer's power system should be designed in accordance
with the applicable standards.
If the supply voltage for the CLV61x is not supplied via the
optional CDB620 connection module, the CLV61x must
be protected by a separate max. 2 A slow-blow fuse at the
beginning of the supply circuit.

• In order to retain the IP 65 enclosure rating for the CLV61x
connecting cable even when using an extension cable
(e.g., no. 6034417, 2 m/6.56 ft), insert rubber seal no.
4038847 between the plug and socket of the D-Sub plug
connection of the cables and screw in the plug connection.

• Circuits connected to the CLV61x must be designed as
SELV circuits (SELV = Safety Extra Low Voltage).

a DANGER

Risk of injury/risk of damage via electrical current!

The CLV61x is designed to be operated in a system with pro­fessional grounding of all connected devices and mounting
surfaces to the same ground potential.
Incorrect grounding of the CLV61x can, due to equipotential
bonding currents between the CLV61x and other grounded

devices in the system, place the metal housing under a dan­gerous voltage, cause malfunction and destruction of devices
as well as damage to the cable shielding through heating,

and thus cause cable res.

• Work on the electrical system must only be performed by

qualied electricians.

• Ensure ground potential at all grounding points.
n the event of damage to the cable insulation, immediately

• I

switch off the power supply and have the damage repaired.

> See the “Electrical Installation” chapter in the & “CLV61x

Bar Code Scanner” Technical Information (no. 8015592)
on the product site on the web (www.sick.com/CLV61x) for
measures to eliminate hazards.

1. Connect the 15-pin D-Sub-HD plug of the CLV61x cable to

the CDB620 connection module.

2. Connect a read pulse sensor, such as a photoelectric sen-

sor at the “Sens 1” switching input of the CDB620.
See the “Electrical Installation” chapter in the & “CLV61x

Bar Code Scanner” Technical Information (no. 8015592).

3. Connect the serial AUX interface (RS-232) of the CLV61x to

the PC (9-pin D-Sub plug) with a suitable data cable (e.g.,

no. 2014054, 2 m) using the internal plug “AUX” (9-pin

D-Sub) of the CDB620.
If the PC does not have an RS-232 interface, use a suit­able adapter cable with RS-232 <> USB converter (e.g.,
no. 6042499, 1.5 m).

successful self-test, the LED on the CLV61x lights up blue

to indicate the “Device Ready” status.

Step 3: Conguration with PC

User Modes and Statuses of the CLV61x:

• Quick Start (initial commissioning for read operation)

• Read operation

• Percentage evaluation (for diagnostic purposes)

• Conguration via SOPAS ET conguration software

• Firmware download

Conguration

In case of error, the SOPAS ET conguration software is used

by default to adjust the CLV61x parameters to the application
and to the diagnostics.

Installing and Starting the Conguration Software

1. Download and install the SOPAS ET software on the PC

from the website “www.sick.com/software”. In this case,
select the “Complete” option as suggested by the install

wizard.

2. Start “Standard” user interface for standalone applica-

tions”.

3. Establish a connection between software and CLV61x e.g.,
via the serial AUX interface (57.6 kBd).
The connection wizard starts automatically. Under inter­face selection, select the standard protocol.

4. Select the CLV61x from the devices that are now available
and displayed. The

Quick Start device page appears.

User Level, Parameter Download

The user is automatically logged onto the CLV61x at user

level “Authorized Client” (password: client). The user can

change parameters, which will be immediately transferred to
the CLV61x (default). Initially they will have only temporary
effect there, without being saved, until the supply voltage is
switched off. If the parameters are to be retained, they must
be permanently saved ( see section “c. Completing the
Conguration Page 2”).

a. Conguration via the “Quickstart” Device Page

The “Quickstart” device page offers an overview of the most

important parameters and enables quick evaluation of code

content. Functions such as “Evaluation Window,” “Percentage
Evaluation,” “Code Conguration,” and “Scanning Frequency”

are available via the Quickstart.

Evaluation Window

The evaluation window shows the code content, the code
type, the increment index, the code security, and the device
number of the reading CLV61x.

Percentage Evaluation

The percentage evaluation permanently assesses the quality
of the reading. Bar codes are not assessed. Here, the bar
codes must not be subjected to any conveying movement.

The CLV61x performs 100 scans in each case and evaluates
the reading quality. The CLV61x continuously emits read
results every 2 s via the AUX interface, together with the read
diagnostic data.

Code Conguration

In the factory default setting, the CLV61x decodes the follow­ing code types:

• Code 39

• Interleaved 2 of 5

• Code 128 family

To activate or deactivate further code types:
