Tab. 2-1: Required qualification for starting up the bar code scanner
The intended use of the bar code system results from the following description of the func-
tion:
• In a reading station, the bar code scanner is installed in a holder, either on the side of
a conveyor system (side reading) or above it (reading from above).
• The bar code scanner transfers the reading data via the host interface to a superordi-
nate host computer for further processing.
• The bar code scanner is configured/operated using the SOPAS-ET configuration soft-
ware that runs on a standard client PC provided by the customer. Communication takes
place using RS-232 or Ethernet.
Important Any warranty claims against SICK AG shall be deemed invalid in the case changes to the bar
code scanner, such as opening the housing, this includes modifications during installation
and electrical installation or changes to the SICK software.
The bar code scanner is only to be operated in ambient air temperature limit.
Fig. 2-1: Outlet opening of the laser radiation at the reading window (shown here: Ethernet version)
Important Bar code scanners in series CLV63x operate with a laser of wavelength λ = 655 nm (red
light). The radiation emitted is not harmful to human skin.
The product is classified in laser class 2 (laser class II) in accordance with EN 60825-1,
IEC 60825-1 and 21 CFR 1040.10 (see the warning sign on the device for the date of pub-
lication)
Maintenance is not required to ensure compliance with laser class 2.
The bar code scanner displays a black and yellow laser warning sign.
Fig. 2-2: Laser warning sign attached to the bar code scanner at delivery
Important If the bar code scanner is installed in a machine/panelling in such a way that the bar code
scanner's laser warning sign is hidden, additional warning signs in the same language (not
included in delivery) have to be attached to the machine next to the outlet opening of the
laser radiation!
The bar code scanner works as follows in controlling the laser diodes:
• The bar code scanner has monitoring switches that deactivate the laser diode if irreg-
ularities occur in the radiation emission.
• The reading pulse (pulse source) controls the on and off mechanism of the laser diode
during the reading process.
• During reading operation with "Sensor" and "Command" reading pulses, each time level
(laser timeout) switches off the laser diode automatically after 10 minutes (default set-
tings) when a permanent reading pulse has been started. However, it does not stop the
reading pulse.
The reading pulse can be stopped via an appropriate clock signal. The successive read-
ing pulse switches on the laser diode.
• In SOPAS-ET on the "Illumination control" tab you can set or deactivate the laser timeout
within a range of 1 ... 1,500 min (= 25h).
• "Laser" LED:
During normal reading operation the "Laser" LED lights up when the laser diode is
switched on.
When calling up functions via the two buttons of the bar code scanner (aborting normal
reading operation), the LEDs have got additional display functions. The "Laser" LED will
differ from its original function. It is possible that the "Laser" LED is flashing when Auto-
setup is selected, although the laser diode is still switched off or the laser diode is
switched on, for example, in diagnostic mode (Read Diagn) and the "Laser" LED, how-
ever, is not flashing.
When the bar code scanner is switched off, the following data is lost:
• Application-specific parameter sets in the bar code scanner that were only saved
temporarily in the device
• The last reading result of the bar code scanner
• Daily operating hours counter of the bar code scanner
The bar code scanner series CLV63x consumes the following energy:
• Line / Raster scanner: Typically 5 W with 24 V DC ± 10 %
• Line scanner with oscillating mirror: Typically 6 W with 24 V DC ± 10 %
3 Quick-Start
3.1 Preparing the bar code scanner for the quick start
The bar code scanner can be operated quickly and easily using the supplied SOPAS-ET con-
figuration software.
TIP To establish a connection quickly and easily via Ethernet, the SOPAS-ET configuration soft-
ware has a CONNECTION WIZARD in the TOOLS menu.
With the SOPAS-ET configuration software, the QUICKSTART register tab contains the most im-
portant reading parameters for configuring and performing a bar code reading:

The trigger source can be configured using the SOPAS-ET configuration software:
PROJECT TREE, CLV63X, PARAMETER, READING CONFIGURATION, OBJECT TRIGGER CONTROL, register
tab START/STOP OF OBJECT TRIGGER
In addition to parking (fixed scanning line position which can be adjusted) or continuous
oscillation independent of the reading pulse, controlled operation of the oscillating mirror
also enables optimised operation sequences related to the reading pulse:
• n-fold oscillation around an adjustable start position within the reading pulse
• One-shot: one-time deflection (forward and return) per reading pulse from an adjusta-
ble start position
In every oscillation mode, the amplitude can be adjusted separately for each of the two de-
flection directions. The deflection speed ratio of one deflection direction to the other can be
adjusted within the selected periodic time for the entire oscillation sequence.

Important The connection "Sensor 2" is only available on the standard version of the bar code scanner.
For the Ethernet version of the bar code scanner, this input is only available with the con-
nection module CDB620/CDM420 in combination with the parameter memory module
CMC600.
The digital outputs can be configured using the SOPAS-ET configuration software:
PROJECT TREE, CLV63X, PARAMETER, NETWORK / INTERFACE / IOS, DIGITAL OUTPUTS
Important The switching outputs "Result 1" and "Result 2" are only available on the standard version
of the bar code scanner. For the Ethernet version of the bar code scanner, the two outputs
are only available with the connection module CDB620/CDM420 in combination with the
parameter memory module CMC600.
Important The “Result“ LED is not coupled with one of the “Result 1“ or "Result 2" outputs.
Important When using the buttons, the "Laser" LED's function differs from its original function in read-
ing operation, the display of the switched-on laser diode.
Use of the buttons
In order to use one of the possible function with the buttons, do as follows:
1. Press the upper button for approx. 3 seconds.
The bar code scanner stops the current reading operation, switches off the LEDs and
the bargraph display and changes to the button operating mode. With immediate effect
the bar code scanner ignores all the other external reading pulses. No reading results
are displayed via the host interface.
The beeper confirms this process with an ascending melody.
The "Read Diagn" function is pre-selected as first function (LED flashes slowly).
2. Repeatedly press the lower button until the LED of the required function flashes. The
bar code scanner scans all the possible functions successively without starting them
and starts over.
The beeper confirms each step with a sound.
3. Press the upper button once to start the selected function.
The LED flashes faster and the beeper confirms the start with two sounds.
Important In order to avoid data loss, the Micro SD memory card may only be removed and inserted
into the new device after the respective bar code scanner has been switched off and de-
energized. When inserting the memory card, make sure that the contacts point backwards
and upwards (towards the inscription "mircoSD" on the box slot).
The memory card is located behind a black rubber cover attached to the bar code scanner.
Fig. 4-6: Micro SD memory card for storing the parameter set
Important To maintain the enclosure rating IP 65, the black rubber cover has to be closed and lie flush
against the device.
As an alternative to the Micro SD memory card in the bar code scanner, the external, option-
al parameter memory module CMC600 in connection module CDB620/CDM420 may also
be used for storing the parameter set. If both the Micro SD memory card and the parameter
memory module CMC600 are available, the bar code scanner will load the parameter set
from the CMC600.
5 Installation
Important Do not open the bar code scanner's housing. If the device is opened, the SICK AG warranty
shall not apply.
5.2.2 Accessories
The following accessories are not included in the delivery of the bar code scanner. They
have to be ordered separately and placed ready for installation:
• Mounting device, see next chapter

switch/photoelectric proximity switch
The bar code scanner can be mounter using the following SICK holders:
• Bracket no. 2020410
• Quick release clamp no. 2025526
• Bracket no. 2042800
• Round rod holder no. 2042801
The construction of the angle with adapter plate no. 2042800 supports e. g. varied mount-
ing options and the alignment of the bar code scanner in two axis.
Fig. 5-1: Example: Fixing the bar code scanner with the bracket no. 2042800
The dimensioning of the SICK-holders is shown in chapter 11.5 Dimensional drawing acces-
sories, page 106.
Alternatively, the user can provide a holder.
Furthermore, the distance between the bar code scanner and the host computer and the
distance to the connection module has to be taken into account (see chapter 6.2 Electrical
installation preparation, page 49 and chapter 5.5.1 Installing connection module CDB620
or CDM420, page 47).

The determination of the RA/CW value enables identical bar codes (code type, code length
and data contents) to be separated and the bar code data to be assigned to their position
on the object.
Fig. 5-7: Counting direction of the reading angle RA within the scanning line and of the code angle CW with the oscillating mirror
1. Preparing base for the installation of the bar code scanner holder, see chapter 5.2.2
Accessories, page 40.
2. Place the object with the bar code at the designated position where the reading should
be taken in the bar code scanner's visual range (no conveyor movement).
3. Visually align the bar code scanner to the bar code. Pay attention to the following
points:
– With the bar code scanner with the front reading window, ensure that the narrow re-
verse side of the device with the laser warning sign is facing the viewer and is ap-
proximately parallel to the bar code plane.
– With the bar code scanner with the side reading window, respectively the line scan-
ner with oscillating mirror, ensure that the wide side panel with the LEDs is facing
the viewer and is approximately parallel with the bar code plane.
– During the reading, consider the reading angle, see chapter 5.3.3 Angle alignment
of the bar code scanner, page 43.
– If the bar code's position within the scanning line is relevant for the evaluation, ob-
serve the reading angle's counting direction, see chapter 5.3.5 Counting direction
of the reading angle and code angle, page 44.
4. Installing the bar code scanner holder on the base.
5. Screw M5 bolts through the holder and into the bar code scanner's blind hole taps and
gently tighten them.
6. Adjusting the bar code scanner, see chapter 7.6.1 Adjusting the bar code scanner,
page 69.
Important If the PC with the SOPAS-ET configuration software accesses the bar code scanner's auxil-
iary interface (RS-232; 57.6 kbd) via the connection module, the connection module should
not be installed more than 3 m (9.84 ft) cable lengths away from the bar code scanner.
1. Install the connection module close to the bar code scanner.
2. Install the connection module in such a way that the opened device can be accessed
at any time.

The installation location depends on the distance (a) of the bar code to the front edge of the
object. Depending on the application, the sensor should be attached in such a way that bar
codes on different sized objects can be fully read during the evaluation (reading gate).
6 Electrical installation
The actual installation work which has to be carried out depends on the respective system
configuration and the version of the bar code scanner (see chapter 6.2 Electrical installa-
tion preparation, page 49). Once electrical installation has been completed, the bar code
scanner is started up and configured (see chapter 7 Startup and configuration, page 63).
Important The possible distance between the bar code scanner and the host computer depends on
the physical version of the selected host interface and the set data transfer rate.
The following tools and resources are required for electrical installation:
• Tool
• Digital measuring device (current/voltage measurement)
Fig. 6-1: Standard version: Electrical connections at the bar code scanner with connection cable
Fig. 6-2: Ethernet version: Electrical connections at the bar code scanner with connector unit

6.3.3 Bar code scanner's connections with connector unit (Ethernet version)
Important The "Sensor 2", "Result 1" and "Result 2" connections are only available on the bar code
scanner with a cable and connector (standard version) and for the Ethernet version via the
CDB620/CDM420 connection module in combination with the parameter memory module
CMC600.
Important To ensure secure fastening of the connected connectors and adherence to the enclosure
rating, the knurled nuts/coupling rings of the M12 connectors have to be tightened or the
cable connectors have to be secured.
1. Connect or release current linkages only under de-energised conditions.
2. All wire cross sections and their shields on customer side have to be selected and im-
plemented according to valid engineering standards.
Damage to the connector unit at the bar code scanner due to overwinding.
The connector unit at the bar code scanner has two end positions.
¾ Never turn the connector unit more than 180° in one direction (comming from one of
the end positions).
¾ Always rotate the connector unit in the direction of the laser diode name.
6.4.1 Connecting the power supply for the bar code scanner
The bar code scanner requires a supply voltage of 18 ... 30 V DC (functional extra-low volt-
age in accordance with IEC 364-4-41 (VDE 0100 (Part 410)) for operation. The functional
extra-low voltage can be created using a safety transformer in accordance with IEC 742
(VDE 0551). The maximum current consumption is 6 W.
The bar code scanner is supplied with 18 ...30 V DC via connection module CDB620 or
CDM420. If the power supply module CMP400/CMP490 is used, the input voltage is 100
... 250 V AC/ 50 ... 60 Hz at the module.
Important The output circuit must be electrically separated from the input circuit. This is usually crea-
ted by means of a safety transformer in accordance with IEC 742 (VDE 0551).

Prerequisite The TCP-IP protocol at the PC has to be active to enable communication via TCP-IP.
7.3.2 Starting the SOPAS-ET configuration software and calling the scan assistant
1. Switch the power supply to the bar code scanner on.
The bar code scanner performs a self-test and is initialised.
2. Switch on the PC and start the SOPAS-ET configuration software.
The SOPAS-ET configuration software opens the program window with an English pro-
gram interface as standard.
3. In order to change the language setting, click on CANCEL and change the language of
the program interface to e. g. GERMAN/DEUTSCH via the menu TOOLS/OPTIONS.
4. Once the language setting has been changed, shut down the SOPAS-ET configuration
software and restart it.
5. In the dialog window, select the option CREATE A NEW PROJECT and click on OK to confirm
it.
6. In the main window under SCAN ASSISTENT click on the CONFIGURATION button.
The dialog window SCAN WIZARD appears.
TIP To establish a connection quickly and easily via Ethernet, the SOPAS-ET configuration soft-
ware has a CONNECTION WIZARD in the TOOLS menu.
Manual configuration:
1. In the dialog window NETWORK SCAN WIZARD under INTERNET PROTOCOL/INTERNET PROTOCOL
(IP), check the check box for ENABLE IP COMMUNICATION.
2. Click on the ADD button.

window.
The dialog window closes. A new entry appears in the IP ADDRESS CONFIGURATION list.
4. Click on OK to confirm settings.
The dialog window ADVANCED SCAN SETTINGS closes.
Fig. 7-1: Configuration with SOPAS-ET and storage the parameter set
If the bar code scanner is optionally connected to a Micro SD memory card (see
chapter 4.7.4 Parameter set on the Micro SD memory card (optional), page 37) or connect-
ed to a module with parameter memory mode CMC600, the parameter set is saved perma-
nently to the memory card, or to the CMC600 repectively, with every permanent storage of
the parameter set to the bar code scanner.
After the bar code scanner is restarted, the data from the memors card, repectively from the
CMC600 is automatically transferred to the bar code scanner. As such, a bar code scanner
can be exchanged, for example, without losing configuration data (see chapter 8.5 Replac-
ing a bar code scanner, page 74). If there is a memory card as well as a CMC600, the bar
code scanner takes the parameter set from the CMC600.
In order to configure a device via the SOPAS-ET configuration software, the respective oper-
ating level has to be selected in advance. After the start, the SOPAS-ET configuration soft-
ware functions at the operating level "MAINTENANCE".
1. In the menu bar under TOOLS select the command LOGIN DEVICE.
2. In the dialog window under USERLEVEL in the list box select the entry AUTHORIZED CLIENT.
If the parameter set is password-protected, enter the password "client" in PASSWORD.
Activate/deactivate password protection on the PARAMETER register tab.
3. Click on OK to confirm the dialog window.
The previously greyed out parameters on the register tabs are now accessible.
TIP To save the current parameter set as a PDF, in the menu bar under PROJECT select the com-
mand PRINT/SAVE AS PDF FILE.
Prerequisite The SOPAS-ET configuration software is connected online to the bar code scanner.
Two default setting types can be called up via the SOPAS-ET configuration software:
• Complete default setting (LOAD FACTORY DEFAULT)
SOPAS-ET resets all parameter values of the bar code scanner to default. Settings
which have been previously made for the communication parameters of the Ethernet
interfaces or serial data interfaces (e.g. Ethernet address) are overwritten. The connec-
tion(s) to the bar code scanner might be interrupted and has (have) to be reconfigured.
• Application-specific default setting (LOAD APPLICATION DEFAULT)
SOPAS-ET resets the parameter values of the bar code scanner but does not change
the communication parameters. Settings which have been previously made for the
communication parameters of the Ethernet interfaces or serial data interfaces are kept
and the current connection(s) to the bar code scanner remain(s) established.
1. In order to discard changes to the parameter set as described above, select the corre-
sponding command in the menu bar under CLV63X.
The SOPAS-ET configuration software loads the default setting from the bar code scan-
ner and displays the parameter values in the register tabs. In the bar code scanner, the
default setting will first be active in the temporary main memory only.
The default setting can also be saved on or printed via the PC, chapter 7.4.4 Save, dis-
play and print the current parameter set, page 67.
2. In the menu bar under TOOLS select the command LOGIN DEVICE.
3. In the dialog window under USERLEVEL in the list box select the entry AUTORIZED CLIENT.
If the parameter set is password-protected, enter the password "client" in PASSWORD.
4. Click on OK to confirm the dialog window.
5. In the menu bar under CLV63X select the command PARAMETER/SAVE PERMANENT.
The SOPAS-ET configuration software transfers the default setting to the permanent pa-
rameter memory (PROM) of the bar code scanner.
If the bar code scanner is equiped with the Micro SD memory card or connected to a
connection module CDB620/CDM420 with parameter memory module CMC600, the
default setting will be permanently transferred to parameter memory CMC600 or mem-
ory card respectively.
Important Once the default setting has been restored, password-protection is deactivated.
8 Maintenance
Important Do not open the bar code scanner's housing. If the device is opened, the SICK AG warranty
shall not apply.
Recommendation In order to make use of the full optical reading capacity of the bar code scanner, the reading
window should be checked regularly (e. g. weekly) for soiling. This is especially recommend-
ed when operating the device in harsh conditions (dust, abrasion, humidity, finger prints,
etc.).
The type place displays the window material used for the reading window: CLV63x-xxxy
• y = 0: Glass
• y = 1: Plastic
Important Electrostatic charges cause dust particles to stick to the reading window. This effect can be
combated by using anti-static SICK synthetic cleaner (no. 5600006) in combination with a
SICK lens cloth (no. 4003353).
Cleaning the reading window:
¾ Switch off the device while you are cleaning it (see Laser protection).
¾ Use a clean, soft brush to free the (glass) reading window from dust.
¾ If necessary, additionally clean the (glass) reading window with a clean, damp, lint-free
cloth and a mild, anti-static window cleaning fluid.
¾ Only clean the (plastic) reading window with a clean, damp, lint-free cloth and a mild,
anti-static window cleaning fluid.

Important Repairs to the bar code scanner should only be carried out by qualified and authorised
SICK AG service staff.
9 Troubleshooting
This chapter describes how errors at the bar code scanner can be recognised and eliminat-
ed.
The LEDs can display possible malfunctions or errors. Please refer to the system informa-
tion for further details.
The bar code scanner displays errors in various ways. The error output is hierarchised and
always allows a detailed analysis:
• Communication errors can occur while transferring telegrams to the bar code scanner.
In this case, the bar code scanner returns an error code.
• Error codes are written into a status protocol for errors which occur during a reading
(chapter 9.3 Status protocol, page 76).
Important The status protocol remains even after switching the bar code scanner off and on again.
The bar code scanner only saves the last five entries for each of the error types.
9.3.1 Displaying the status protocol using the SOPAS-ET configuration software
In order to display the status protocol, the SOPAS-ET configuration software has to be online
and connected to the bar code scanner.
1. Connect the SOPAS-ET configuration software with the device.
2. Open the project tree CLV63X, SERVICE, SYSTEMSTATUS, register tab SYSTEMINFORMATION.
Important Repairs to the bar code scanner should only be performed by qualified and authorised SICK
AG service staff.

11 Appendix
Important Both the command strings and the SOPAS-ET configuration software are based on com-
mand language which directly accesses the command interpreter of the bar code scanner.
This command language must be used with care as the bar code scanner executes sent
commands immediately. Parameter values altered via commands are at first only active in
the current parameter set in the working memory (RAM) of the bar code scanner. To save
in the permanent memory, the altered parameter set must be copied into the PROM using
a special command, this ensures that the alterations are not lost when the power supply is
switched off.
If the commands are entered via the terminal emulator in the SOPAS-ET configuration soft-
ware, the two control characters <STX> and <ETX> are omitted.
Connection to the bar code scanner when using the terminal emulator and Ethernet:
1. Select TOOLS/TERMINAL in the SOPAS-ET configuration software menu to call up the ter-
minal emulator and in the terminal emulator, select CONNECTION/CONNECT to call up the
connection assistant.
2. Select option USER DEFINED CONNECTION in the connection assistant and confirm by press-
ing NEXT.
3. Select option TCP/IP and confirm by pressing NEXT.
4. Select option SHOW ONLY COLA TELEGRAMS.
5. Enter the bar code scanner's IP address in the relevant field and confirm by pressing
NEXT.
6. In the ADDRESSING MODE selection list, select BY NAME and confirm the settings by press-
ing CONNECT.
The connection with the bar code scanner is established. The command strings can be
transferred.

11.7 Glossary
Also see the SOPAS-ET configuration software online help for further terms.
Aperture angle α
Aperture within the boundaries of which the bar code scanner is able to detect codes
(through the lenses). A V-shaped area appears radially in front of the reading window, at
right angles to the conveyor system (reading from above), in which the codes to be read
must be positioned.
Aspect ratio
For bar codes with the code height (strip length) to code length (number of characters) ratio.
Aux interface
Logical auxiliary data interface of the bar code scanner with a fixed data output format,
physically switched to RS-232 (Aux) and Ethernet (port 2111). With this data interface, ac-
cess to the bar code scanner for the configuration is always possible with the PC and the
SOPASET configuration software. The data interface is also used for diagnosis (output of
reading diagnosis data or monitoring the data traffic on the Host interface). For the physical
RS-232 interface, the following applies: fixed data format, data transfer rate 57.6 kbd. The
data output to the PC via RS-232 can be switched off, existing Aux interface communication
via the Ethernet interface (port 2111) remains active.
Bar code
Field of dark strips (bars) and light spaces (elements) arranged in parallel, which, by working
to a certain rule (specification), can be represented on the medium (subsurface) by various
print processes. A user-readable (alpha)numeric character is produced from each machin-
ereadable, corresponding number and combination of strips and spaces. Since the entire
coded information, framed by start and stop characters, is available as a whole in one di-
mension and is also usually analysed by line, bar codes are also referred to as linear codes.
The various code types differ in their codeable character inventory, design (number of ele-
ments per character, number of characters, start/stop characters, check characters), their
information density and in their print tolerances. The length of the code strips and spaces
has no bearing on the information content. However, longer code strips and spaces can be
more easily analysed by the reading device.
CAN interface
Physical data interface. Controls construction of a rapid SICK-specific CAN SENSOR network
with various functions (e.g. multiplexer, master/slave). Access to the CLV63x Bar Code
Scanner for configuration is possible via the CAN interface (network) using the SOPAS-ET
configuration software in remote mode.
Code geometry
Code length and height dimensions.

Chapter 11 Appendix Operating Instructions
Configuration file
Project file for the SOPAS-ET configuration software in which either only one complete pa-
rameter value set for a device or, if several devices are grouped into one project, the com-
plete parameter value set for each device, is saved for archiving on the PC. The project file
can be expressed as a table, transferred to the Windows clipboard or provided as a PDF.
Decoder, decoding
From the code type-dependent analysis routine to reconstruction of the codes read in elec-
tronic form, in order to decipher the data content.
Default setting
The factory default setting of all of the bar code scanner’s parameter values is saved in its
permanent memory and can be reloaded at any time when the device is connected using
the CLV63x menu to the bar code scanner’s working memory. This rejects all changes that
were made in an application-specific configuration if they were not permanently saved in
SOPAS-ET after the request. If necessary, the data connection to the bar code scanner itself
is lost.
However, the application-specific basic setting enables all parameter values except for
those for the communication parameter to be set to the factory default settings. The existing
communication with the bar code scanner remains unaffected.
Deflection angle
Angle which the scanning line covers at both sides each of the central position CW=50 (cor-
responds to 0°) when deflected by the oscillating mirror. Also called oscillation angle.
Deflection range
Deflection of the scanning line by way of the oscillating mirror across the scanning direction
to both sides of the central position CW=50 (corresponds to a light exit under 105° (default
setting)). Also called oscillation amplitude.

Download
Transfer process of the parameter values using the SOPAS-ET configuration software from
the PC to the connected bar code scanner.
In "Online" communication mode, the SOPAS-ET configuration software always transfers the
just modified parameter values in the background automatically and temporarily to the
working memory (RAM) of the bar code scanner with the "Immediate download" option (de-
fault setting). With this option, the current parameter values in the bar code scanner are
constantly synchronised with the modifications that are made on the user interface.
With the "Download on request" option, the user is responsible for comparing them manu-
ally. If individual parameter values have unsynchronized statuses between SOPAS-ET and
the connected bar code scanner, SOPAS-ET identifies these parameters with a blue frame.
Using the context menu (right mouse button), if necessary the modified parameter value on
a register tab (DOWNLOAD PARAMETER VALUE) can be transferred manually to the bar code scan-
ner. Using the Communication menu, either modified parameter values only (DOWNLOAD
MODIFIED PARAMETERS TO DEVICE) or all of the bar code scanner’s parameter values (DOWNLOAD
ALL PARAMETERS TO DEVICE) can be transferred.
The parameter values that were temporarily changed in the bar code scanner are only saved
permanently when the storage option "Permanent" (menu CLV63X) is selected. The trans-
ferable parameter values depend on the current user level in SOPAS-ET.
Error messages
Messages in coded form with which the bar code scanner displayed a diagnosed error. The
bar code scanner differentiates between four error types: Information, Warning, Error, Fatal
Error. The error messages can be displayed in the SOPAS-ET configuration software on the
System Informationen register tab.
Ethernet interface
Physical data interface with transfer rate 10/100 MBit/s and TCP/IP protocol. The Ethernet
interface can be used alternatively to and also in parallel with the physical interfaces RS-
232, RS-422/485.
Port 2112 (Host interface) is used to output the reading result and port 2111 (Aux interface)
among other things is used to output reading diagnosis data and to monitor the data traffic
on the Host interface. The bar code scanner can be configured using both ports. If the Aux
interface data output via RS-232 is eliminated, existing communication via Ethernet re-
mains active. The same applies to the Host interface, although the data output via Ethernet
can be eliminated separately.
Function interfaces
Digital switching inputs and outputs of the bar code scanner.
Good read
The defined evaluation condition(s) were successfully met during the last reading pulse in
the reading process.

Chapter 11 Appendix Operating Instructions
Host interface
Logical main data interface of the bar code scanner with two independent, configurable
data output formats. Allows, among other functions, the output of the reading result in tel-
egram form to the host/PLC. Physically switchable to RS-232/RS-422/485 and Ethernet
(port 2112) or CAN. Works as a gateway in conjunction with the SICK-specific CAN-SENSOR
network. Provides various transfer protocols (except for CAN).
With the Host interface, access to the bar code scanner for configuration and diagnosis is
always possible with the SOPAS-ET configuration software. The data transfer rate is 57.6
kbd in the default setting. The data output via RS-232/RS-422/485 can be switched off,
existing Host interface data output via Ethernet remains active. However, it can be eliminat-
ed separately.
Line scanner
Scanner that uses a polygon mirror wheel with paraxial mirrors to deflect a focused laser
beam extremely fast. As a result, it creates a light spot in the reading plane that moves along
a straight line, which appears to the naked eye as a stationary scan line.
Master/Slave configuration
Special arrangement and technical circuit connection of several bar code scanners to one
reading station (e.g. multi-side reading) using the CAN interface. Via the master the combi-
nation acts on the host as just one device.
Multi-reading
Selectable number of readings which must each deliver internal results from one and the
same bar code before the bar code scanner generates the reading result.
No read
The defined evaluation condition(s) were not met during the last reading pulse in the read-
ing process.
No read format
Special, configurable output format for no reads in the data output string as a replacement
for the output formats of a reading with fulfilled evaluation conditions. In its default setting,
the bar code scanner displays the "NoRead" string as the no read format, framed by STX and
EXT.

Operating Instructions Appendix Chapter 11
Raster scanner
Scanner that uses a polygon mirror wheel with tilted mirrors to deflect its focused laser
beam extremely quickly. As a result, it creates a light spot that moves quickly in several rows
across the reading plane. Each light spot repeatedly moves along a straight line. It thereby
appears to human eyes as one of several stationary scan lines.
Reading pulse
Triggering of the internal reading gate via a bar code scanner-external pulse is carried out
by means of an external trigger source such as a photoelectric reflex switch or a command
string via the data interface. With internal trigger source "automatic tick", the bar code scan-
ner creates the reading pulse itself.
Reading result
Electronic display and output of the data contents of the scanned bar codes together with
reading diagnosis data in a data output string at the defined output time.

Chapter 11 Appendix Operating Instructions
Sending point
Output time of the reading result in relation to the start of the reading pulse and the fulfilled
evaluation conditions.
SMART620 decoder
Specially developed decoder for reading bar codes with bad or soiled print images.
SOPAS-ET
PC configuration software, to run on Windows 2000TM, XPTM and VistaTM. Used for online com-
munication with the bar code scanner in the dialog (configuration, displaying reading
events, diagnosis) as well as for preparatory offline configuration of stand-alone devices or
the grouping of the same/different SOPAS-ET-compatible SICK devices in a project. The pa-
rameters are exchanged device-specific with the bar code scanner/the devices via upload
and download.
SOPAS-ET help
Online help which supports use of the SOPAS-ET configuration software. The parameter
functions of the bar code scanner are explained in the online help. Runs using an HTML
browser, such as "Internet ExplorerTM", and can be called up in the SOPAS-ET configuration
software.

Operating Instructions Appendix Chapter 11
Start/Stop operation
In this reading operation mode, only one object per reading pulse is located in the reading
area. Two external sensors or command strings control the beginning and end of the read-
ing pulse for the bar code scanner (stand-alone device). The length of the reading area is
determined in this case by the distance of both reading pulse sensors for the start (begin-
ning of the reading area) and stop (end of the reading area). The minimum reading distance
between two objects must always be greater than the length of the reading area.
In the case of combined use with other bar code scanners in a master/slave combination
(e.g. unidirectional double-side reading), the bar code scanner as a slave receives its pulse
signals from another bar code scanner (master). The bar code scanners are networked via
the CAN interface, the output of the master’s reading result via its RS- 232/RS-422/485
interface and/or the Ethernet interface.
Upload
Transfer process of all parameter values from the connected bar code scanner’s working
memory to a PC in the SOPAS-ET configuration software for display and modification. This
is achieved when the device is connected and communication is successfully carried out af-
ter the scanning process for a confirmed request to synchronise the user interface and the
bar code scanner. Where necessary, this can be triggered manually in the Kommunikation
menu (UPLOAD ALL PARAMETERS FROM DEVICE Parameter values must be represented in the reg-
ister tabs before the current parameter value set can be modified.
User interface
Windows-oriented input interfaces in the SOPAS-ET configuration software for operation
and configuration of the bar code scanner.
