General information
The integrated fieldbus connectivity =
i
contained in the bar code readers of the BCL 300
i
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 300
i
series make available the proven CRT
decoder with code reconstruction technology:
The proven code reconstruction technology (CRT) enables bar code readers of the BCL 300
i
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 BCL 308
i
can be operated and configured using the integrated webConfig tool via the USB service
interface; alternatively, the bar code readers can be adjusted using configuration commands via the host/
service interface.
The BCL 308
i
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 BCL 308
i
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.
