Device description The additional USB interface is used for configuring the device. The two product series BCL 600i and BCL 601i differ in their interfaces and in their function as multiNet plus master or slave. Table 3.1: BCL 600i/BCL 601i interfaces...

The delivery contents of the external parameter memory include the hood with integrated connectors with unscrewable cover and the USB memory stick. For transferring the configuration with the aid of the external parameter memory see chapter 6.2. Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i...
Figure 4.1: Possible bar code orientation The BCL 600i / BCL 601i can be operated and configured using the integrated webConfig tool via the USB service interface; alternatively, the bar code readers can be adjusted using configuration commands via the host/service interface.
With the autoConfig function, the device offers an extremely simple and convenient configuration option to users who only want to read one code type (symbology) with one number of digits at a time. Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i...
Afterward, bar codes with the same code type and number of digits are recognized and decoded. Stand-alone connection The bar code readers of the BCL 600i series can be operated as single “stand-alone” devices. The device features multiple M 12 connectors / sockets for the electrical connection of the supply voltage, the interface and the switching inputs and outputs.
(thus, all multiNet slave are included in multiScan operation). Heater For low-temperature applications to min. -35°C (e.g. in cold storage), the bar code readers of the BCL 600i series can optionally be permanently fitted with a built-in heating and these bar code readers purchased as separate device models.
In this way, the device can also scan larger areas or spaces for bar codes. The reading field height (and the scan line length useful for evaluation) depends on the reading distance due to the optical opening angle of the oscillating mirror. Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i...
In order to read arbitrarily oriented bar codes on an object, at least 2 bar code readers are necessary. If the bar code is not printed over-square, i.e. bar length > code length, bar code readers with integrated code reconstruction technology are necessary. Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i...
Total reflection occurs whenever the laser light of the bar code reader is directly incident on the surface of the bar code at an angle of 90°. The light directly reflected by the bar code may overload the bar code reader and thereby cause non-readings! Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i...
The optimum alignment of the device is accomplished when the scan line scans the bar code bars almost at a right angle (90°). All reading angles that are possible between the scan line and bar code must be taken account (see figure 6.3). Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i...

IP 65 is achieved only if the connectors and caps are screwed into place. Alternatively, a parameter memory in the form of a USB memory stick certified by Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. can be connected to the provided USB service interface. With this Leuze memory stick, degree of protection IP 65 is also ensured.

HOST / BUS IN for BCL 600i The BCL 600i makes either the RS 232 or RS 422 interface available as host interface. This is selected via the display or the “webConfig” configuration software. The pin assignments change depending on the selected interface type (see table 7.4, see figure 7.10 and see figure 7.11).
Page 34
This interface is physically looped through to the BUS OUT RS 485 socket. With its RS 485 interface, the BCL 601i is suitable for use in the Leuze multiNet plus scanner network. Figure 7.12: HOST/BUS IN, M 12 connector (B-coded) Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i...
Ensure adequate shielding. The entire interconnection cable must be shielded and earthed. The signal lines must be stranded in pairs. Termination of the RS 485 interface on the master (BCL 600i) The RS 485 interface must always be terminated externally on the master via a T-connector and a termi- nating resistor (see chapter 16 "Ordering information and accessories").
Electrical connection The BCL 600i can only participate as a slave in the Leuze multiNet plus on the BUS OUT socket and via an external M 12 T-connector (see chapter 7.8.3 and see figure ). Termination of the RS 485 interface (BCL 601i) The device operates as slave in the Leuze multiNet plus network.
Figure 7.14: Leuze multiNet plus system topology With the aid of a BCL 600i network master, up to 31 bar code readers can be networked. For this purpose, each participating device is assigned the respective station address via the display and the control panel.
Last slave address Unlike the slaves, the display of the BCL 600i is not used to set the network address (the master always has the address 00), but the last slave address, i.e. the number of the most significant slave. This “informs”...
Slave address The BCL 600i display has an important function for setting the network address. The network address, i.e. the corresponding station number of the slave, is set via the display. The address which is set must be > 0 since the master always has address 0 (Adr.00).

If the device is configured as stand-alone device or network master, the framing protocol defines how data is exchanged between the BCL 600i and the host. The framing protocol is a character-based protocol for the transmission of ASCII characters. It groups the characters to be transmitted into a datablock and frames the block with control characters. Var- ious block checking methods are optionally available for protecting the integrity of the data.

Depending on firmware version, the module overview may vary from that shown above.
10.3 BCL 600i operation As a first step, you need to set the communication parameters of the device. The BCL 600i can be oper- ated as stand-alone device, multiNet plus master or multiNet plus slave. You can make the necessary settings via the display or via the webConfig tool. The settings made by means of the webConfig tool are described here only briefly.
10.4). 10.3.3 Operation as multiNet plus master For operation as multiNet plus master, you must inform the BCL 600i of the maximum number of slaves to be managed. This is done via the Maximum number of slaves parameter. Set the Maximum number of slaves parameter to the desired value: Via webConfig: ...
