The BCL 500
The barcode readers of the BCL 500
in network operation. They now only transmit data to the multiNet - master (e.g. BCL 500
when requested to do so by the master and establish the continuing connection to the next
slave via the BUS OUT socket with the aid of an external M12 T-connector (order informa-
tion see chapter 13.4 "Accessory connectors"). The last participant in the network must be
terminated with a terminating resistor.

Figure 7.9:
Only a few parameters need to be set for slave operation (see chapter 10 "Commissioning
and configuration"). Network commissioning can thus be performed in very little time.
Slave address
The display of the BCL 500
address. The network address is set on the display, i.e. the respective station number of the
slave. The address which is set must be > 0 since the master always has address 0
(Adr.00).
Each network device with an address > 0 is thereby automatically informed that it is a slave
in the Leuze multiNet plus with this address and that it is initialised and queried by the
network master. No other settings are necessary for commissioning in the Leuze
multiNet plus.
Other settings
The parameters necessary for the reading task, such as the code types to be read and the
number of digits of the code, must be set. This can be performed via the display as well as
with the aid of the webConfig tool.
