Appendix
Host interface
Logical main data interface of the bar code scanner with two independent, configurable
data output formats. Allows, among other functions, the output of the reading result in tele-
gram form to the host/PLC. Physically switchable to RS-232/RS-422/485 and Ethernet
(port 2112) or CAN. Works as a gateway in conjunction with the SICK-specific CAN-SENSOR
network. Provides various transfer protocols (except for CAN).
With the Host interface, access to the bar code scanner for configuration and diagnosis is
always possible with the SOPAS-ET configuration software. The data transfer rate is 57.6
kbd in the default setting. The data output via RS-232/RS-422/485 can be switched off,
existing Host interface data output via Ethernet remains active. However, it can be elimina-
ted separately.
Increment management
Used in certain CLV65x applications to separate bar codes with identical contents that
move during the reading procedure.
Command strings, commands
User interface to the bar code scanner, as an alternative to the SOPAS-ET configuration soft-
ware. The command string form a clearly structured command language for changing the
parameter value sets in the bar code scanner online. Directly accesses the command inter-
preter of the bar code scanner. Use of the host requires a corresponding programming task.
The SOPAS-ET configuration software is based on the command strings.
Configuration file
Project file for the SOPAS-ET configuration software in which either only one complete para-
meter value set for a device or, if several devices are grouped into one project, the complete
parameter value set for each device, is saved for archiving on the PC. The project file can
be printed as a table, transferred to the Windows clipboard or provided as a PDF.
Reading range (DOF)
Depth of field at both sides of the lens focal point at the reading level. The size of the range
depends on resolution and reading distance.
Reading diagnosis data
Code-, object- or device-related data which the bar code scanner derives directly from the
reading process. The data allows, among other things, an assessment of the reading quality
and to draw conclusions on the reading process.
Reading result
Electronic display and output of the data contents of the scanned bar codes together with
reading diagnosis data in a data output string at the defined output time.
Reading field
In start/stop mode the reading field is the area between the start and stopp sensors for the
reading pulse in conveyor direction.
