BCB G30 ... bar code tape with 30 mm grid
Figure 5.1: BCB G30 ... bar code tape with 30 mm grid
Standard BCB G30 ... bar code tapes are available in various length increments in the following heights:
• 47 mm
• 25 mm
Special BCB G30 ... tapes are available in mm height increments between 20 and 140 mm.
An entry wizard is available for special tapes on the Leuze website under devices "BPS 8 - Accessories".
The entry wizard provides support when entering the individual pieces of tape data and creates a query or
order form.

BCB G30 ... control bar code MVS
With the help of control bar codes that are affixed on top of the bar code tape at appropriate positions, func
-
tions in the BPS can be activated or deactivated, e.g. precise, reproducible switching between different
BCB value ranges at switches.
Code type Code128 with character set B is used for the control bar code.
The MVS label is a control bar code for the precise, reproducible switching of position values from a
preceding to a subsequent bar code tape. The subsequent bar code tape begins with another, new value
range.
The changeover between the different value ranges of the two BCBs occurs independent of the direction
of travel in the center of the MVS control bar code.
Arrangement of the control bar codes
The control bar code is attached in such a way that it replaces one position bar code or seamlessly
connects two bar code tapes with different value ranges to one another (see figure 5.2).
NOTE
With a standard bar code tape and repair tape with 30 mm grid, the printed numerical values
are divisible by three without a remainder.

NOTE
If, upon reaching the the center of the MVS control bar code, the BPS 8 does not detect the
value range of the subsequent BCB in the scanning beam, the position value of the first BCB
section is still output for half of the label width starting from the center of the MVS control bar
code.
