Adding sensor-specific output information, including data from decoded barcode symbols, requires the use of a
BCR sensor output submodule, plugged into Slot 2 Subslot 1. The iiVu BCR provides different options for
configuring this submodule, based on the space required by the decoded barcode data. The selection of sensor
output submodules is based on size, allowing the user to control network bandwidth use.
Another optional addition to the configuration is called the Compare String Submodule, plugged into Slot 3 Subslot
1. This submodule allows the controller (PLC) to send new ASCII compare strings or string masks to the iVu BCR.
The selection of compare string submodules is based on the desired length of the compare string data used.
The iVu BCR Command Channel Module can be plugged into Slot 4. The selection of Command Channel
Submodules is based on the required length of the data output string.
Follow Step 5 and Step 6 to add a submodule to the configuration (optional).
5. Click S2 to go to the configuration window and add a submodule.

6. Click the Drop-Down Arrow next to Disabled to open the list of submodule slots.
7. Select a submodule and hit enter.
The submodule slot now shows an icon, which means that it has been configured.
8. Set up all submodules for your application.
