3 Device description
3.1 Device overview
3.1.1 General information
The BPS3000i barcode positioning system uses visible red laser light to determine its position and its
speed value relative to a barcode tape that is affixed along the travel path. This takes place in the following
steps:
• Read a code on the barcode tape (see following figure)
• Determine the position of the read code in the scanning beam
• Calculate the position to within less than a millimeter using the code information and the code position
relative to the device's center.
The position and speed values are then output to the controller via the host interface.
The BPS consists of device housing and interface connection hood for the connection to the control. The
connection hood must be ordered separately.
The following connection hoods are available for the connection of the SSI interface:
• MS3007 connection hood with M12 connectors
• MK3007 connection hood with spring-cage terminals

3.4 Bar code tape
3.4.1 General information
A barcode tape with 40mm grid is required for operation of a BPS3000i bar code positioning system.
A barcode tape consists of a sequence of individual position labels. Defined cut marks are provided be-
tween the individual bar codes for cutting the BCB.
The BCB is delivered on a roll. A roll contains up to 300m of BCB, with the wrapping direction from the out-
side to the inside (smallest number on the outside). If more than 300m of BCB is ordered, the total length
is divided into rolls of max. 300m.
Standard bar code tapes in fixed length increments as well as special bar code tapes with custom tape
start value, tape end value, custom length and height can be found on the Leuze website in the acces-
sories for the BPS3000i devices.
An entry wizard is available for special bar code tapes on the Leuze website under devices BPS3000i - Ac-
cessories tab. The entry wizard provides support when entering the individual pieces of tape data and cre-
ates a query or order form with the correct part number and type designation.

3.4.2 Twin tapes
Designation: BCBG40…TWIN
Twin tapes are jointly manufactured barcode tapes with the same value range.
NOTICE
A twin tape always consists of two barcode tapes!
ÄWhen ordering a twin tape, two barcode tapes are always included with an order.
Twin tapes are used if positioning with two barcode tapes is necessary, e.g., with crane systems or eleva-
tors.
Because they are manufactured jointly, both tapes have the same length tolerance. As a result, differences
in length and code position are minimal. By having the same code position on both tapes, improved syn-
chronization can be achieved during positioning compared to barcode tapes that are manufactured sepa-
rately.

4 Applications
Wherever systems are moved automatically, it is necessary to uniquely determine their respective posi-
tions. In addition to mechanical measuring sensors, optical methods are particularly well suited for position
determination as they can be used to determine position without mechanical wear and slippage.
Compared to common optical measurement techniques, the Leuze Barcode Positioning System (BPS) is
able to measure a position with absolute sub-millimeter accuracy, i.e. independent of reference points. As a
result, it is able to provide a unique position value at any time. With the highly flexible and hard-wearing
BarCode Tape (BCB), the system can even be used without problem in systems with curves or guide toler-
ances. And this at lengths of up to 10,000meters.
The barcode positioning system convinces with a variety of advantages:
• The laser simultaneously scans multiple barcodes and, as a result, is able to determine the position
with sub-millimeter precision. The wide reading field makes accurate position determination possible
even in the event of minor damage to the tape.
• With the systems' flexible depth of field, it is also possible to bridge over mechanical deviations.
• Due to the large reading distance combined with the great depth of field, a large opening angle and a
very compact construction, the device is ideally suited for the conveyor and storage technology market.
• Using a mounting device, the BPS can be mounted with millimeter accuracy with just one screw. If
mounted using a mounting device, a new device is automatically aligned correctly should it be neces-
sary to exchange a device (easy-mount).
• The unique encoding of the position value on the barcode tape allows the system to be put back into
operation without problem even after a brief voltage drop without, e.g., needing to utilize a reference
point.
• The Leuze barcode tape is very robust, highly flexible and, thanks to the self-adhesive back, can be
easily integrated into your overall mechanical system. It can be fit optimally to both vertical as well as
horizontal curved paths and thereby reliably facilitates trouble-free and reproducible measurement at
any point in your system with sub-millimeter accuracy.
Typical applications for the BPS include:
• Stacker crane (see chapter 4.1 "High-bay storage device")
• Electrical monorail system (see chapter 4.2 "Electrical monorail system")
• Gantry cranes (see chapter 4.3 "Gantry cranes")

5.1 Mounting barcode tape
5.1.1 Installation and application remarks
NOTICE
BCB mounting
ÄWhen processing BCBs, observe the specified processing temperatures.
When processing BCBs in cold storage facilities, the BCB must be affixed before cooling the
storage facility.
However, if it should be necessary to affix the BCB at temperatures outside of the specified
processing temperature, assure that the bonding surface as well as the BCB are at the pro-
cessing temperature.
ÄAvoid dirt deposits on the BCB.
If possible, affix the BCB vertically.
If possible, affix the BCB below an overhead covering.
The BCB must never be continuously cleaned by on-board cleaning devices such as
brushes or sponges. Permanent on-board cleaning devices polish the BCB and give it a
glossy finish. The reading quality deteriorates as a result.
ÄAfter affixing the BCBs, make certain that there are no polished, high-gloss surfaces in the
scanning beam (e.g., glossy metal at gaps between the individual BCBs), as the measure-
ment quality of the BPS may be impaired.
Affix the BCBs to a diffusely reflective support, e.g., a painted surface.
ÄAvoid sources of extraneous light and reflections on the BCB.
Ensure that neither strong sources of extraneous light nor reflections of the support on
which the BCB is affixed occur in the vicinity of the BPS scanning beam.
ÄAffix the BCB over expansion joints up to a width of several millimeters.
The BCB must not be interrupted at this location.
ÄCover protruding screw heads with the BCB.
ÄEnsure that the BCB is affixed without tension.
The BCB is a plastic tape that can be stretched by strong mechanical tension. Excessive
mechanical stretching results in lengthening of the tape and distortion of the position values.
NOTICE
BCB application
ÄMake certain that the BCB is located in the scanning beam of the BPS over the entire
traversing path. The BPS can determine the position on BCBs with arbitrary orientation.
ÄBar code tapes with different value ranges may not directly follow one another.
In the case of different value ranges, a difference of at least 1m must be maintained be-
tween the position value of the last position barcode of the preceding BCB and the position
value of the first position barcode of the subsequent BCB.
ÄAvoid position barcode labels with the value 00000.
Measurements to the left of the center of a 00000 label produce negative position values
that may not be displayed correctly.

Avoid cutting BCB!
ÄIf possible, avoid cutting barcode tapes.
Optimum position value determination by the BPS is achieved with continuously affixed
BCB.
ÄIf there are mechanical gaps, first affix the BCB continuously. Then cut the BCB.
The BCB is cut at the indicated cut marks:

If another BCB is to be affixed directly after the preceding BCB, the subsequent barcode value must differ
from the preceding BCB by at least 1m:

If there is a gap without tape after the preceding BCB, it must be at least 300mm wide before the subse-
quent BCB is affixed. The first barcode value of the subsequent BCB must differ by at least 20 (200mm)
from the last barcode value of the preceding BCB.

NOTICE
No glossy gaps in the cut barcode tape!
ÄEnsure that there are matt, bright surfaces behind the gaps in the BCB.
Reflective and high-gloss surfaces in the scanning beam may impair the measurement qual-
ity of the BPS.
5.1.3 Mounting the BCB
Mount the BCB as follows:
ÄCheck the surface.
It must be flat, free of grease and dust, and be dry.
ÄDefine a reference edge (e.g., metal edge of the busbar).
ÄRemove the backing and affix the BCB along the reference edge tension free.
ÄSecure the bar code tape to the mounting surface by pressing down with the palm of your hand. When
affixing, make certain that the BCB is free of folds and creases and that no air pockets form.
NOTICE
When mounting, do not pull on the BCB!
The BCB is a plastic tape that can be stretched by strong mechanical tension.
The stretching results in lengthening of the tape and distortion of the position values on the
BCB.
While the BPScan still perform the position calculation in the event of distortions, the absolute
measurement accuracy is no longer ensured in this case. If the values are taught using a teach-
in process, stretching of the BCB is irrelevant.
NOTICE
If a barcode tape was damaged, e.g., by falling parts, you can download a repair kit for the BCB
from the Internet (see chapter 9.2.2 "BCB repair with repair kit").
ÄUse the barcode tape created with the repair kit only temporarily as an emergency solution.
