About the bar code readers of the BCL 300
i
series
Bar code readers of the BCL 300
i
series are high-speed scanners with integrated decoder for all
commonly used bar codes, e.g. 2/5 Interleaved, Code 39, Code 128, EAN 8/13 etc., as well as codes from
the GS1 DataBar family.
Bar code readers of the BCL 300
i
series are available in various optics models as well as line scanners,
line scanners with deflecting mirrors and oscillating mirrors and also optionally as heated models.

The many possible configurations of the device allow it to be adapted to a multitude of reading tasks. 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.
The interfaces (RS 232, RS 485 and RS 422) integrated in the various device models and the fieldbus
systems (PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET-IO, Ethernet TCP/IP UDP, Ethernet/IP and EtherCAT) offer
optimum connection to the superior host system.
