General information
The integrated fieldbus connectivity = i contained in the bar code readers of the BCL 600i series facilitates
the use of identification systems which function without connection unit or gateways. The integrated
fieldbus interface considerably simplifies handling. The Plug-and-Play concept enables easy networking
and very simple commissioning: Directly connect the respective fieldbus and all configuration is performed
with no additional software.
For decoding bar codes, the bar code readers of the BCL 600i series make available the proven CRT
decoder with code reconstruction technology:
The proven code reconstruction technology (CRT) enables bar code readers of the BCL 600i series to
read bar codes with a small bar height, as well as bar codes with a damaged or soiled print image.
With the aid of the CRT decoder, bar codes can also be read without problem in other demanding situa
-
tions, such as with a large tilt angle (azimuth angle or even twist angle).

The device needs a suitable activation to start a read process as soon as an object is in the reading field.
This opens a time window (reading gate) in the device for the read process during which the bar code
reader has time to detect and decode a bar code.
In the basic setting, triggering takes place through an external reading cycle signal. Alternative activation
options include online commands via the host interface and the autoReflAct function. In the basic setting,
triggering takes place through an external reading cycle signal or via the PROFIBUS. An alternative option
for activation is the autoReflAct function.

operation, the device collects additional useful pieces of data for diagnosis which can also be transmitted
to the host. The quality of the read operation can be inspected using the alignment mode which is inte

A multi-language display with buttons is used to operate the device as well as for visualization purposes.
Two LEDs provide additional optical information on the current operating state of the device.
The four freely configurable switching inputs/outputs SWIO 1 … SWIO 4 can be assigned various func
