CLP 100 Bar Code Reader

Product description

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.

Insta ation

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).

5.4.4 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.

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).

Operation

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

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.

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.

6Operation

6.1 Startup steps

•Startup of the CLP 100 with the default setting set b factor (Quick-Start).

The CLP 100 can be operated without a connection to the PC in this configuration.

•Connecting the PC (refer to Section .4.4, Page 18) and installing the CLP Setup software

(refer to Section 10.2, Page 33).

•Parameterizing of the CLP 100 with the CLP Setup software or with command strings.

6.2 Defau t setting

Table 6-1 shows an overview of the default setting of our works for the CLP 100. The

parameters in the default setting are selected so that the CLP 100 can be used directl for

man applications in this configuration. With the default setting no PC is required for starting

up.
