Operating Instructions Chapter 3

CLP100 Bar Code Reader

Product description

3.3 Working method of the device

The CCD bar code reader CLP100 detects bar codes in an illuminated scan field (scan line) and decodes the bar codes. The CLP100 transmits this data via the serial host interface to a host/PC for further processing. Refer to Fig. 3-3 for an overview of the functionality of the CLP100.

Fig. 3-3: Function of the CLP100

--- Cable if required

The CLP100 derives useful data for diagnostics from the reading processes. The quality of the reading data can be checked in the diagnosis mode.

The CLP100 requires suitable pulsing (triggering) in order to start a reading process when there is an object in the reading area. This results in a time window for the reading process being opened in the CLP100. Triggering is carried out either with an external sensor or with a command string via the host interface. Both options are active in the default setting.

The switching input ("Sensor" input) informs the CLP100 when it must start a reading process. The switching output ("Result" output) can have result functions assigned to them and triggers external devices such as, for example, a PLC input.

3.4 Display and operating elements

The CLP100 is operated or configured via the host interface by using the CLP Setup PC software or with command strings. The CLP100 is adapted to various applications by means of parameterization. The CLP Setup software is used, for example, to carry out the following settings:

• Configuration of the code types to be read

• Read, evaluation and output properties

• Communication parameters of the host interface

• Structure of the data output strings of the host interface

• Function of the auxiliary interface (terminal interface)

Chapter 10.2, Page 46 describes the installation and handling of the CLP Setup software.

The procedure for configuring the CLP100 with the software is explained in Chapter 6.4,

Page 30.

NOTICE

Claims under the warranty rendered void!

Do not open the housing of the CLP100. If the device is opened, the SICK AG warranty shall not apply.

• Connect or disconnect current linkages only under de-energised conditions.

• Wire cross sections and their correct protection have to be selected and implemented

according to valid engineering standards.

• For data connection use only shielded data cables (twisted pair).

• In order to avoid interferences, do not install data cable parallel to the power- supply

and motor cables over long distances (for example in cable ducts).

• Lay all cables so th a t t h ere is no poss i b i lity of people trip p i n g over them and s o t hat they

are protected against damage.

5.4.1 Supply voltage

For operation the CLP100 requires a supply voltage of 5 V DC

± 5 % in accordance with

IEC 60364-4-41 (functional extra-low voltage). The functional extra-low voltage can be generated by a power supply unit using a safety transformer . The power supply unit must output a continuous output of 2 W.

Important The output circuit of the power supply unit must be electrically insulated from the input

circuit. This is usually created by means of a safety transformer in accordance with IEC 742.

To ensure that the incoming supply cables are protected against short-circuits/overloads, the wire cross-sections must be dimensioned and protected in accordance with valid standards.

Connecting the supply voltage:

¾ Connect the supply voltage to Pin 5 and Pin 9 of the 9-pin D Sub plug (see Table 5-1,

Page 24) respectively to the wires of the open cable end (see Table 5-2, Page 24).

5.4.2 Wiring the host interface (Connecting the PC)

The CLP100 is operated and configured with the CLP Setup software. For this purpose it

must be connected temporarily to the PC via the host interface.

The host interface of the CLP100 is an RS 232 interface. For the pin assignment refer to Table 5-1, Page 24 or Table 5-2, Page 24. Table 5-3 shows the recommended maximum cable length as a function of the data transmission rate.

Startup and configuration

6 Startup and configuration

Startup, adjustment, configuration and diagnosis are carried out via the CLP Setup configuration software. In normal reading operation the CLP100 operates fully automated.

6.1 Overview ot the startup procedure

• Startup of the CLP100 with the default setting set by factory (Quick-Start).

• Installing the CLP Setup software (Chapter 10.2, Page 46).

• Connecting the PC to the CLP100 (Chapter 5.4.2, Page 25).

• In order for optimising the functionality of the CLP100, adjusting the CLP100 and con-

figuring the CLP100 for the application.

• Checking correct functioning of CLP100 in automatic reading operation.

6.2 Quick-Start

1. Carry out the electrical installation in accordance with Chapter 5, Page 23. A PC does

not have to be connected if the CLP100 is operated with the default setting.

2. Switch on the supply voltage. The LEDs of the CLP100 light up and are extinguished after the self-test has been completed successfully.

3. Present the bar code sample from Fig. 6-1 to the CLP100 at a distance of approx. 35 mm.

4. Start the reading pulse: Cover the optical path of the sensor (close the switch). Both LEDs on the rear light up.

5. End the reading pulse: Unmask the optical path of the sensor (open the switch). If the reading has been successful, the red LED is extinguished, the green LED lights up. The CLP100 is ready to operate with the default setting of our works.

The CLP100 can be switched off without the configuration data being lost, since no changes were carried out to the parameter set.

CLP100 Bar Code Reader

6.3 Operating modes and output of the read result

When configuring the CLP100, it is possible to choose between the following operating modes:

• Reading mode

• Diagnostic mode

• Adjusting mode

• On-line test mode

In reading mode the CLP100 detects the presented bar codes and emits the read result at the end of the reading pulse parallel via the host and aux interface.

In diagnosis mode the quality of the bar code readings is judged. These are brought statistically into the read field of the CLP100 (no transport movement). The output is emitted via the host and aux interface. For details on the diagnosis mode refer to Chapter 6.4.8,

Page 33.

In adjusting mode the CLP100 is adjusted to the bar code (see Chapter 4.4.2, Page 21).

In the on-line test mode the CLP100 emits the read result only via the aux interface and not via the host interface.

When outputting the read result, it is possible to choose between the normal reading function and the code comparison function (matchcode). The matchcode function allows the comparison of the read bar codes with a code which is entered at the CLP100. It is possible to select between complete or partial matching of the codes.

6.4 Configuration

The CLP Setup configuration software or command strings optimise the CLP100 to reading conditions on site. Starting point for this is the factory default setting which can be adjusted to optimise the CLP100. The CLP Setup configuration software is used to create an application-specific parameter set which can be loaded permanently into the CLP100 and saved/ archived as a configuration file (slp file) on the PC.

6.4.1 Transferring the parameter set between the CLP Setup and CLP100

In order to edit the current parameter set of the CLP100 it must first be copied from the CLP100 to the CLP Setup. This process is designated as uploading.

Changes to the parameter set carried out in the CLP Setup are not effective until they have been transferred to the CLP100. CLP Setup always copies the complete parameter set. Saving the parameters to the CLP100 is designated as downloading.

Uploading the parameter set from the CLP100

¾ Click on in the CLP Setup toolbar.

CLP Setup copies the parameter set last saved in the CLP100 from the CLP100 into its database and displays its values in the tab cards.

If the CLP Setup software does not recognize the loaded parameters during uploading, a warning is emited. Unknown parameters can be edited in the terminal emulator under observance of the conventions for command strings. These parameters are also taken into consideration when the parameter set is saved.

The CLP100 outputs a result either at agreement of the read codes with the matchcode or at non-agreement.

6.4.8 Setting the diagnosis mode

In diagnosis mode the quality of the bar code readings is judged. These are brought statistically into the read field of the CLP100 (no transport movement). The CLP100 carries out 100 readings after the reading pulse and evaluates them.

The data string in the diagnosis mode is STX-/ETX-framed. The data string contains the bar code information (data) at the first place, followed by a slash and a three-digit identifier. The data string is followed by the combination of slash and identifier repeated thrice (a total of four identifiers separated by slashes): <STX>Data/www/xxx/yyy/zzz<ETX>.

The maximum value of an identifier is 100. If the value is lower (one- or two-digit number), the leading blanks will be filled with spaces. If the D

ISPLAY CONTROL CODE function is activated,

a space is displayed as <SPC>. The identifiers mean:

www = Number of successful readings ("Good reads") xxx = Number of successful decoding processes (with misinterpretations)

Chapter 6 Operating Instructions

Startup and configuration

CLP100 Bar Code Reader

yyy = Number of successful indentifications of a start or stop character (depending on

the scan direction)

zzz = Number of readings carried out (the CLP100 carries out 100 readings each in the

diagnosis mode)

Error-free reading and decoding of a bar code would thus have the following form:

<STX>Data/100/100/100/100<ETX>.

A reading with some failed decodings has, for example, the following form:

<STX>Data/<SPC>67/<SPC>67/100/100<ETX>.

If the CLP100 has only recognized the start character, it transfers a question mark instead of the data string:

<STX>?/<SPC><SPC>0/<SPC><SPC>0/100/100<ETX>.

Updating an installation

There are two possibilities of installing a new version of CLP Setup:

• Installation of the new version in addition to the old version

- or -

• Installation of the new version instead of the old version (overwriting)

Installation of the new version in addition to the old version

When the new version is installed in addition to the old version the new CLP Setup software is installed as described under First installation. When prompted for the target directory you have to enter a new directory. Both software versions are available parallel, but may not be started simultaneously. The configuration files of the old version can continue to be used in the new version.

Installation of the new version instead of the old version

When the new version is installed instead of the old one, the files of the old version have to be removed – with the exception of the configuration files "*.slp". The "*.slp" files contain the parameter sets of the CLP100.

The Uninstaller removes the program files. The Uninstaller can be used to remove either all the files (with the exception of the configuration files) or only selected files. The default setting is the complete removal (the configuration files are not removed). In the case of userspecific removal the files are listed and only the selected files are removed. When selecting files ensure that the main directory together with the "*.slp" files is not deleted.

1. Select the Uninstaller for CLP Setup in the start menu of Windows under P

ROGRAMS.

The Uninstaller starts and guides you through the removal with screen messages.

2. Select the type of removal (complete or user-specific).

10.4 Calculation of the code length of a bar code

The code length of a bar code corresponds to the number of used characters in the printing image including the check digits (if they exist). The fixed code length can be specified in the CLP Setup.

The code length can be determined by counting the bars and gaps if the code type of a bar code is known. The respective equation for calculation is shown in Table 10-3.

1. Count the bars and possibly gaps as specified in Table 10-3. Also count the start and

stop characters.

2. Calculate the code length in accordance with the equation specified in the table.

3. Carry out the input in the CLP Setup as specified in Column 4 of Table 10-3.
