General information
The integrated fieldbus connectivity = i contained in the bar code readers of the BCL 600i series facilitates
the use of identification systems which function without connection unit or gateways. The integrated
fieldbus interface considerably simplifies handling. The Plug-and-Play concept enables easy networking
and very simple commissioning: Directly connect the respective fieldbus and all configuration is performed
with no additional software.
For decoding bar codes, the bar code readers of the BCL 600i series make available the proven CRT
decoder with code reconstruction technology:
The proven code reconstruction technology (CRT) enables bar code readers of the BCL 600i series to read
bar codes with a small bar height, as well as bar codes with a damaged or soiled print image.
With the aid of the CRT decoder, bar codes can also be read without problem in other demanding situa-
tions, such as with a large tilt angle (azimuth angle or even twist angle).
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.
The device 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 device for the read process during which the bar code
reader has time to detect and decode a bar code.
In the basic setting, triggering takes place through an external reading cycle signal. Alternative activation
options include online commands via the host interface and the autoReflAct function. Through the read
operation, the device collects additional useful pieces of data for diagnosis which can also be transmitted
to the host. The quality of the read operation can be inspected using the alignment mode which is inte-
grated in the webConfig tool.
A multi-language display with buttons is used to operate the device as well as for visualization purposes.
Two LEDs provide additional optical information on the current operating state of the device.
The four freely configurable switching inputs/outputs SWIO 1 … SWIO 4 can be assigned various func-
tions and control e.g. activation of the device or external devices, such as a PLC.

Functions
Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i 18
System, warning and error messages provide assistance in setup/troubleshooting during commissioning
and read operation.
4.1 autoReflAct
autoReflAct stands for automatic Reflector Activation and permits an activation without additional sensors.
This is achieved by directing the scanner with reduced scanning beam towards a reflector mounted behind
the conveyor path. As long as the scanner is targeted at the reflector, the reading gate remains closed. If,
however, the reflector is blocked by an object such as a container with a bar code label, the scanner acti-
vates the read procedure, and the label on the container is read. When the path from the scanner to the
reflector has cleared, the read procedure has completed and the scanning beam is reduced and again
directed onto the reflector. The reading gate is closed.
Figure 4.2: Reflector arrangement for autoReflAct
The autoReflAct function uses the scanning beam to simulate a photoelectric sensor and thus permits an
activation without additional sensors.
4.2 Reference codes
The device offers the possibility of storing one or two reference codes.
It is possible to store the reference codes by means of teach-in (display command), via the webConfig tool
or via online commands.
The device can compare read bar codes with one and/or both reference codes and execute user-config-
urable functions depending on the comparison result.
4.3 autoConfig
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.
You will find a matching reflector in Accessories, and more are available on request.

Functions
Leuze electronic BCL 600i/BCL 601i 19
After starting the autoConfig function via the display, switching input or from a superior control, it is suffi-
cient to position a bar code label with the desired code type and number of digits in the reading field of the
device.
Afterward, bar codes with the same code type and number of digits are recognized and decoded.
4.4 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.

2 Supply voltage
3 PC / PLC host interface
Figure 4.3: Stand-alone connection
4.5 Networking - Leuze multiNet plus
In the Leuze multiNet plus network, up to 32 bar code readers can be networked together. The respective
network devices transmit the read data when requested to by the BCL 600i (or MA 31) network master.
For this purpose, each device is assigned its own station address, which is set using the display of the
corresponding device.
The master then transmits the data of all network devices via its host interface to a superior PLC control
system or a computer, i.e. it “collects” the scanner data in the network and transmits it to an interface on
the host computer. This reduces interface costs (CPs) and time spent programming the software.

Two-wire RS 485
The Leuze multiNet plus is optimized for fast transmission of scanner data to a primary host computer. The
multiNet plus consists physically of a two-wire RS 485 interface through which the Leuze multiNet plus
software protocol is controlled. This makes wiring the network easy and inexpensive as slaves are looped
through to one another in parallel.
In principle, networking occurs via a parallel connection of the individual RS 485 interfaces of the respec-
tive bar code scanners. Shielded, twisted pair conductors should be used for the Leuze multiNet plus. This
allows a total network length of up to 1200m.
4.6 Leuze multiScan
The multiScan operating mode is based on Leuze multiNet plus and links individual bar code readings from
multiple bar code scanners into a single decoding result. This is used, for example, on a packet conveyor
system on which the label can be affixed on either the right or left side, thereby requiring two read stations.
To prevent the host from having to always process two readings for a single packet, i.e. a decoding result
and a No Read, a multiScan arrangement is used which transmits only one reading from the two read
stations to the host; this single reading is transmitted by the multiScan master.
For this purpose one multiScan master and one or more multiScan slaves are connected together via the
RS 485 interface.
Figure 4.5: Scanner arrangement with the multiScan function
The protocol set on the RS 485 interface is the multiNet protocol. As a result, during multiScan operation
on the RS 485 interface, the multiNet master also functions as the multiScan master and the
multiNet slaves function as multiScan slaves (thus, all multiNet slave are included in multiScan operation).
4.7 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.
Thus, from the perspective of the host, the scanner network appears to be just a single bar code
reader!
The multiScan function on the RS 485 interface is possible for minimum of 2 and a maximum of
32 devices!
