Bar code tape
3.4.1 General information
The bar code tape is available in different variants:
• BCB bar code tape with 40 mm grid
Code128 with character set C, increasing in increments of 4 (e.g., 000004, 000008, … )
• Bar code tape BCB8 with 30 mm grid
Code128 with character set C, increasing in increments of 3 (e.g. 000003, 000006, … )
A bar code tape consists of a sequence of individual position labels in one of the two grids. Defined cut
marks are provided for cutting the BCB.
The bar code tape is delivered on a roll. A roll contains up to 200 m of BCB, with the wrapping direction
from the outside to the inside (smallest number on the outside). If more than 200 m of BCB is ordered, the
total length is divided into rolls of 200 m.
Bar code tapes with special requirements with respect to height, length and value range can be ordered
from Leuze electronic (see chapter 14.6 "Bar code tapes").
NOTICE
Value range for BCB with special requirements!
When ordering bar code tapes with special requirements, make certain that the value range contains
only values that are divisible by three (BCB8 with 30 mm grid) or four (BCB with 40 mm grid).
It may otherwise not be possible to purchase and use repair tapes.
NOTICE
Only one BCB type per system!
In a given system, use either only BCB8 with 30 mm grid or only BCB with 40 mm grid.
If different BCB types are used in one system, the BPS cannot ensure an exact position determination.
NOTICE
Configure the BPS for the used BCB type!
The used BCB type must be set in the webConfig tool with the
Tape selection
parameter; see
chapter 9.3.2 "CONFIGURATION function".
On delivery, the BPS is set for BCB with a 40 mm grid.
If the BCB8 with a 30 mm grid is used, the
Tape selection
must be adjusted in the BPS configuration.
If the used BCB type does not correspond to the
Tape selection
configured in the BPS, exact position
determination cannot be performed by the BPS.
