TNT 35/7-24V
1 General Information
1.1 Explanation of Symbols
The symbols used in this operating manual are explained below.
Attention!
Pay attention to passages marked with this symbol. Failure to heed this information can lead
to injuries to personnel or damage to the equipment.
Attention Laser!
This symbol warns of possible danger through hazardous laser radiation.
Notice!
This symbol indicates text passages containing important information.
1.2 Definition of Terms
Activation
Initiates a read process, e.g. by triggering the switched input.
ASCII
Standard character set (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) with 128
characters. Each character of the ASCII character set has been assigned a number from 0
to 127. This number is usually displayed in decimal format, but can also be displayed in hex-
adecimal or octal.
autoConfig
The function integrated into the bar code reader which automatically recognises the type
and number of characters of the code to be read in.
autoControl
The function integrated into the bar code reader used to monitor the read quality.
Bar code
An arrangement of parallel bars and spaces which are arranged according to a standardised
protocol such that they have a certain numeric or alphanumeric meaning.
Deactivation
End a read process, e.g. by using an online command.
Decoder/Decoding system
The microprocessor control unit which translates the scanned bar code information into a
simple signal that can be processed further.
Frame protocol
Transfer protocol for the data transfer between the bar code reader and the host.

General Information Leuzeelectronic
6 BCL 40 Leuze electronic
Hex.
Abbreviation for hexadecimal notation.
Host
External computer or programmable logic controller (PLC) which is connected to the bar
code reader via a serial interface and is used to further process the decoded bar code infor-
mation.
Interface module
Electronic component in the connector unit MA 10 which carries out the electrical adjust-
ment of the various serial interface types (e.g. RS 232, RS 422, etc.).
Label
Barcode label
multiNet
The network developed by Leuze for networking together several bar code readers.
No Read
Read failure; a read process was initiated but a label could not be decoded.
Online command
A command which is sent directly to the bar code reader from the host or a computer
connected to the interface.
Output format
Determines the data format of the bar code information output from the decoder.
Parameter set
The data set which is permanently stored in the bar code reader and contains all of the
device settings.
PD
Programming device
PLC
Programmable logic controller. A PLC usually can be used as a host.
Postfix
Trailer of the data transfer protocol (frame protocol) between the bar code reader and the
host.
Prefix
Header of the data transfer protocol (frame protocol) between the bar code reader and the
host.
Protocol
Interface protocol of the serial interface.
Raster scanner
The sweep method of the scanner laser beam. It is used when the lines of the bar code can
only be applied vertically with respect to the direction of travel, or when the code must be
read while stationary.
Read quality
The read quality can be monitored using the autoControl function. The relationship of the
number of successful reads to the total number of reads is determined and monitored.

Leuzeelectronic General Information
Leuze electronic BCL 40 7
TNT 35/7-24V
Reference code
Complete or partial bar code information which can be compared to the read label, e.g. to
select a path for packages.
Scanner
Bar code reader that optically scans the bar code with a laser beam.
Switched input
Bipolar input for connecting a sensor or switch used for initiating a read process or for
acquiring a reference code.
Switched output
Connection for output of status or event messages, e.g. after a failed read.
Teach-In
Programming a reference code using an example bar code.

2 Safety Notices
2.1 Safety Standards
The bar code readers BCL 40 and the connector unit MA 10 have been developed, produced
and tested subject to the applicable safetystandards. They correspond to the state of theart.
2.2 Intended Use
Attention!
The protection of personnel and the device cannot be guaranteed if the device is operated
in a manner not corresponding to its intended use.
Bar code readers of the type BCL 40 are conceived as stationary, high-speed scanners with
integrated decoders for all current bar codes used for automatic object recognition.
The connector and interface unit MA 10 simplifies the connection of the bar code reader of
type BCL 40 and adapts to various host interfaces. Connection to other bar code readers is
not authorised.
In particular, unauthorised use includes:
• rooms with explosive atmospheres
• operation for medical purposes
Fields of application
The bar code readers BCL 40 with optional connector unit MA 10 are conceived particularly
for the following fields of application:
• labelling and packaging machines
• automatic analysers
• space-critical bar code reading tasks
• storage and conveying technologies, in particular for object identification on
fast-moving conveyor belts
• pharmaceutical industry
