Users can choose between three lens variants for different modular widths from 0.25 mm through to 1.0 mm. The readers are available with identical scanning fields as line professional scanners and also in the form of the latest-generation swivel mirror or deflecting mirror versions. The high-performance lens of the BCL 500i features a symmetrical ±30° optical angle of aperture and provides scope for an extensive scanning field aperture with a high depth of field even at close range.
With communication industrial interfaces PROFIBUS or Ethernet TCP/IP built into in the device, as well as integrated webConfig parameterization software, fast implementation and extreme handling convenience are assured when commissioning in existing networks. As previously, the new devices offer two serial interfaces for RS 232 or RS 422 and RS 485. Integrated field bus connectivity radically simplifies wiring for the user and almost always results in a higher data rate, as it eliminates the bottleneck caused by additional gateways.
Commissioning has been simplified for the user by the unique parameterization software webConfig. This permits devices to be fully parameterized in any optional WEB browser directly via the control system, with addressing via a USB port. The software features a convenient, future-proof program structure and menu prompting. The port is also configured to allow the use of a USB memory stick as an external storage facility.
In running operation, optimum legibility is assured by superior performance. Innovative code reconstruction technology (CRT) guarantees this same degree of legibility even for high-speed processes.
