About the bar code readers of the BCL 500
i
series
Bar code readers of the BCL 500
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 500
i
series are available in various optics models as well as
line scanners, line scanners with deflection mirrors, oscillating mirrors and also optionally
as heated models.
Notice!
Please note: the BCL 558
i
line scanner with deflection mirror (perpendicular beam
exit) is currently not available.

The extensive options for device configuration via display or software enable adaptation to
a multitude of reading tasks. Due to the large reading distance combined with the great
depth of field and a very compact construction, the device is ideally suited for package and
pallet transportation systems. In general, the bar code readers of the BCL 500
i
series are
designed 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
and
EtherNet/IP
) of the BCL 500
i
series bar code readers offer optimum connection to the supe-
rior host system.
