Leuze electronic
The small data lengths (< 28 bytes) are particularly of interest for use with bar code scanners
(BCL). The larger data lengths are, on the other hand, relevant for 2D-code scanners (hand-
held scanners, LSIS) and RFID.
Taking into consideration the maximum permissible data width of 1024 bytes, multiple
modules can also be used for the input data or combined with one another. The combination
of module 128 and module 64, for example, yields an input data length of 192 bytes.

Commissioning the Leuze device
To commission a read station, you must prepare the Leuze device on the MA 248
i
for its
reading task. Communication with the Leuze device occurs via the service interface.
Notice!
For further information on connecting and using the service interface, see chapter 9 "Con-
figuration".
To do this, connect the Leuze device to the MA 248
i
.
Depending on the Leuze device, this occurs either via a connection cable (accessory no.:
KB 031-1000) or directly on the MA 248
i
. The service connector and corresponding
switches can be accessed with the housing cover open.
Select the "DEV" service switch position.
Connect the service interface; call up the terminal program
Connect your PC to the service connector via the RS 232 cable.
On the PC, call up a terminal program (e.g., BCL-Config) and check whether the interface
(COM 1 or COM 2) to which you have connected the MA 248
i
is set to the following Leuze
standard setting: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and STX, data, CR, LF.
You can download the config. tool from
for BCL, RFID, etc.
