3.2 Working method of the device
The CCD bar code reader CLP 100 detects bar codes in an illuminated scan field (scan line)
and decodes the bar codes. The CLP 100 transmits this data via the serial host interface to
a host/PC for further processing. Refer to Figure 3-3 for an overview of the functionalit of
the CLP 100.
The CLP 100 derives useful data for diagnostics from the reading processes. The qualit of
the reading data can be checked in the diagnosis mode.
The CLP 100 requires suitable pulsing (triggering) in order to start a reading process when
there is an object in the reading area. This results in a time window for the reading process
being opened in the CLP 100. Triggering is carried out either with an external sensor or with
a command string via the host interface. Both options are active in the default setting.
The switching input ("Sensor" input) informs the CLP 100 when it must start a reading
process. The switching output ("Result" output) can have result functions assigned to them
and triggers external devices such as, for example, a PLC input.
3.3 Disp ay and operating e ements
The CLP 100 is operated or parameterized via the host interface b using the CLP Setup
PC software or with command strings. The CLP 100 is adapted to various applications b
means of parameterization. The CLP Setup software is used, for example, to carr out the
following settings:
•Configuration of the code t pes to be read
•Read, evaluation and output properties
•Communication parameters of the host interface
•Structure of the data output strings of the host interface
•Function of the auxiliar interface (terminal interface)
Section 10.2, Page 33 describes the installation and handling of the CLP Setup software.
The procedure for parameterizing the CLP 100 with the software is explained in Section 6. ,
Page 21.

4.2.3 Se ecting the insta ation site
When selecting the installation site take the distance between the CLP 100 and the host as
well as the distance between the CLP 100 and the bar code into consideration. The angle
between the scan line and bar code is selected, so that a good reading is possible. The
optimal setting of the angle is described further below.
The CLP 100 is fastened b means of two threaded holes (M 3) to the top or bottom of the
device (refer to Figure 4-1). The complete housing dimensions are shown in Section 9.2,
Page 32.
Distance between the CLP 100 and the host
The maximum distance between the CLP 100 and the host when extension cables are used
amounts to 12 m (host interface RS-232).
Distance between the CLP 100 and the bar code
The distance a between the reading window of the CLP 100 and the bar code must amount
to 20 to 70 mm depending on the width of the bar code (refer to Figure 4-2). Section 10.3,
Page 38 shows the width of the reading area of the CLP 100 in relation to the reading
distance for various resolutions (module widths).

5.4.3 Wiring the host interface (Connecting the PC)
The CLP 100 is operated and configured with the CLP Setup software. For this purpose it
must be connected to the PC via the host interface.
When the PC is connected, the communications parameters are set as described in
Section 6. .1, Page 21.
Figure -1 shows the wiring of the RS-232 host interface.
Damage to the interface modu e in the CLP 100!
Electronic components in the CLP 100 can be damaged if the host interface is wired
incorrectl .
¾
Wire the host interface correctl in accordance with Figure -1.
¾
Check the wiring before switching on the CLP 100.
¾
Connect the host interface of the CLP 100 EMC-compatibl to the host b means of
shielded cables (refer to Figure -1). Observe the maximum cable lengths (refer to
Table -3, Page 16).
Recommendation
¾
Appl the shielding at one end.
1. Switch off the PC and the suppl voltage of the CLP 100.
2. Connect the desired port "COM x" of the PC to the CLP 100. To this purpose use an
RS-232 data connection cable (RxD and TxD transposed).
3. Switch on the PC and the suppl voltage of the CLP 100.
4. Set the communication parameters of the PC (refer to Section 10.2.3, Page 34).
In the default setting the CLP 100 communicates via the RS-232 interface with the host
using the values listed in Table -4.

5.4.4 Wiring the termina interface
As an alternative the PC ma be connected to the terminal interface.
Figure -2 shows the wiring of the terminal interface.
Note The terminal interface is a TTL level interface.
5.4.5 Wiring the "Sensor" switching input
If a reading process is to be triggered via an external sensor, connect the sensor to the
"Sensor" switching input. This triggering t pe is selected as the default setting of the CLP
100. Figure -3 shows the wiring of the "Sensor" switching input. Table - lists the
characteristic data of this switching input.
¾
Connect the sensor as described in Figure -3.
Hint The DEVICE CONFIGURATION tab card of the CLP Setup software can be used to modif the
response time of the "Sensor" input (debouncing).

5.4.6 Wiring the "Resu t" switching output
The switching output can have various result functions assigned to it. If the corresponding
event occurs during a reading process, the switching output becomes live for the selected
pulse duration. Figure -4 shows the wiring of the "Result" switching output. Table - lists
the characteristic data of the switching output.
Recommendation
¾
In order to check the switching functions wire the switching output to a load and measure
the voltage with a high-voltage digital voltmeter. This avoids the displa of incorrect
voltage values and switching states.
¾
Wire the switching output as described in Figure -4.
Hint The DEVICE CONFIGURATION tab card of the CLP Setup software can be used to modif the
function assignment, the pulse duration and the output instant of the signal.
