The BCL 358 needs a suitable activation to start a read process as soon as an object is in the reading field. This opens a time window ("reading gate") in the BCL 358 for the read process during which the bar code reader has time to detect and decode a bar code.
Device description An optional, multi-language display with buttons is used to operate the BCL 358 as well as for visualization purposes. Two LEDs provide additional optical information on the current operating state of the device. The two freely configurable switching inputs/outputs SWIO1 and SWIO2 can be assigned various func- tions and control e.g.
• when the bars of the bar code are printed in the conveying direction ('ladder arrangement'). • with bar codes having very short bar lengths. • when the ladder code is turned out of the vertical position (tilt angle). • when the reading distance is large. Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG BCL 358...
Line scanner with oscillating mirror The oscillating mirror deflects the scan line additionally to both sides across the scan direction at a randomly adjustable oscillation frequency. In this way, the BCL 358 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.
The functionality of the device is defined via parameter sets which are clustered in objects, classes and instances. These are contained in an EDS file which, depending on the version of the control software, can be used to configure and integrate the BCL 358 into the system. A fixed MAC ID is assigned to each BCL 358 by the manufacturer;...
The innovative further development of the BCL 358 with integrated switch functionality offers the option of connecting multiple bar code readers of type BCL 358 to one another without direct connection to a switch. In addition to the classic "star topology", a "linear topology" is thus also possible.
ODVA. Heating For low-temperature applications to min. -35°C (e.g. in cold storage), the bar code readers of the BCL 358 series can optionally be permanently fitted with a built-in heating and these bar code readers purchased as separate device models.
