Notes on this document
This document contains the online help of device description LECTOR620.sdd (for operation and configuration with SOPAS Single Device or SOPAS-ET).
Used symbols To gain easier access, some information in this documentation is emphasized as follows:
Hint This symbol points out specific features.
Note This symbol indicates additional settings in the SOPAS-ET configuration software.
Important This symbol indicates supplementary technical documentation.
Intended use The camera-based LECTOR ® 620 is an intelligent sensor for the automatic, stationary decoding of codes on moving or still-standing objects. It reads all common 1D codes (barcodes)/
2D codes (stacked codes/matrix codes). Via its host interface, the LECTOR ® 620 transmits the reading data to a higher-level computer for further processing.
Safety information Read the LECTOR ® 620 operating instructions and familiarize yourself with the device and its functions.
To avoid the dazzle caused by integrated illumination, do not look into the reading window when switching the LECTOR ® 620 on and off.
The accessible radiation of the laser LEDs poses no risk.
Temporary, irritating, optical effects on the human eye (e.g. dazzle, blindness from flash, after-images, impairment of color vision) cannot be completely ruled out, particularly with low ambient brightness. Precautionary measures are not required. Caution - incorrect use may result in the user being exposed to hazardous radiation.
Do not intentionally look directly into the light sources for long periods of times.
Observe the currently applicable regulations on photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems as well as laser protection.
Hint No maintenance is required in order to ensure compliance with risk group RG 1/laser protection class 1.

Parameters Chapter 5
5.4.1.1.1
Reading distance
parameter is used to set the distance between the LECTOR ® 620 and the object. The reading distance is used to modify the depth of field of the LECTOR ® 620 at the installation location.
The value can be entered manually in mm or set automatically using the
To avoid disruptive reflections on the object surface, the LECTOR ® 620 should be installed at a suitable fixing bracket (see installation information).
The reading distance influences the minimum code resolution and the size of the reading area:
• If the reading distance is small, smaller codes can be read.
• A larger reading distance increases the reading area. The reduction in image brightness caused by this is compensated for by the brightness control and, if necessary, by increasing the shutter time.
5.4.1.1.2
Auto
Pressing the
Auto button calls up the Auto Setup wizard for automatic configuration of the
reading distance.
For the reading distance to be adjusted automatically, a suitable object with contrast changes or edges (e.g. code, text, or other structures) must be placed in the reading area.
A prerequisite for automatic configuration of the reading distance is a certain basic brightness at which the structures in the image are visible.
5.4.1.2
Exposure time
The time frame for taking an image is defined in μs via the parameters for the Exposure time
group.
• A short exposure time can accommodate high object speeds. As this causes the image
• A long exposure time offers a high level of brightness and therefore minimal image noise.
This is the optimal setting for stationary or slow-moving objects.
5.4.1.2.1
Exposure time
The time frame for taking an image is defined in μs via the Exposure time parameter. The
exposure time can be set via the slide control.
• A short exposure time can accommodate high object speeds. As this causes the image
brightness to decrease, it may be necessary to adjust the signal amplification ( Brightness
).
This does, however, increase the image noise.
• A long exposure time offers a high level of brightness and therefore minimal image noise.
This is the optimal setting for stationary or slow-moving objects.

5.4.1.3
Image settings
The image brightness and contrast settings are made via the parameters in the Image settings group.
A good image that displays the code clearly is essential for a reliable reading. Optimizing the image settings results in better code identification and therefore increases the reliability of the reading.
5.4.1.3.1
Brightness
The amplification of the signal is set via the Brightness parameter. The signal amplification
can be set via the slide control.
The image brightness can be adjusted by amplifying the signal in order to achieve better visibility and decodability. When setting the signal amplification, it should be noted that an overly high setting causes significant image noise and therefore makes it difficult to read the code.
For this to be avoided, the value should be increased in stages until the code can be read successfully.

For the settings to be adjusted automatically, a suitable object with contrast changes or edges (e.g. code, text, or other structures) must be placed in the reading area.
5.4.1.4
Illumination
The parameters of the
Illumination group are used to deactivate and configure the illumina-
tion elements.
Optimizing the settings leads to an optimum, high-contrast, and consistently illuminated reading area. External influences caused by sun, darkness, room lighting, etc. can therefore be minimized.

Internal
The Internal parameter is used to modify the internal illumination of the LECTOR

• R IGHT /B LUE (type-dependent): This lighting type offers the maximum contrast for codes in the wavelength spectrum between green and red and can improve the reflective properties of codes on metal surfaces.
• B OTH /R ED + B LUE (type-dependent): The combination of both illumination types offers the maximum contrast for black codes. The reading area is illuminated uniformly with increased light output. This setting is recommended for large reading distances and when the background color is unknown or subject to change.
• B OTH /I NFRARED (type-dependent): The advantage of the infrared lighting is that the light is invisible to humans, meaning that no disruptive light sources are emitted from the device.
The code contrast achieved by the lighting is dependent on the code's material properties and surface condition and must be tested.
Individual parameter values are not supported by all device types.
Optimal illumination of the reading field and an increased read rate are achieved by setting the internal lighting.
5.4.1.4.2
Aiming laser
For various operating statuses, you can use the Aiming laser parameter to mark the opti-
mum position for the codes in the center of the reading area directly on the object using the integrated laser pointer.
As a result, you can easily position the codes manually and achieve optimum alignment.
• O FF : Aiming laser is deactivated.
• L IVE IMAGE , A UTO -S ETUP : Aiming laser is only activated to set up the LECTOR ® 620.
• T RIGGER , L IVE IMAGE , A UTO -S ETUP : Aiming laser remains activated as long as the reading gate is open.
To avoid malfunctions caused by the aiming laser, deactivate it (O FF ). For manual reading or if the position changes frequently, the T RIGGER , L IVE IMAGE , A UTO -S ETUP setting is recommended.
To activate/deactivate the aiming laser using keys on the LECTOR ®

Parameters Chapter 5
5.4.1.6.1
Setting image frequency manually
If the Setting image frequency manually
parameter is activated, the image frequency can by specified by the user. If this parameter is deactivated, the reading device operates at maximum image frequency. The R EQUEST button can be used to retrieve the current image frequency of a connected device. There may be a deviation between the set image frequency and the actual image frequency used by the reading device. The device adjusts the image frequency to other settings such as the exposure time. A long exposure time significantly reduces the image frequency.
It makes sense to reduce the image frequency for slow applications in which the object containing the code moves past the reading device slowly. Reducing the image frequency increases the time for evaluating individual images. This results in increased reading reliability for each individual image. Reduced image frequency is not suitable for fast applications, as you run the risk of not detecting the code on any image.
5.4.1.6.2
Image frequency input field
The required image frequency can be entered into the input field in Hz, number of images
/ s. A message appears if invalid values are entered.
5.4.1.6.3
Image rotation 180°
If the Image rotation 180° parameter is activated, the image is recorded rotated around
180°.
As the image is processed from the top down, codes in the top part of the image are identified earlier. By rotating the image around 180°, you can therefore reduce the evaluation time for codes that are not positioned centrally. This is particularly true for readings at a standstill.
5.4.1.6.4
Image region of interest
You can use the
Image region of interest parameter to concentrate the reading area on the
required region.
A reduction in the reading area reduces the evaluation time and increases the frame rate.
This enables you to achieve higher object speeds.
To change the size of the reading area, you drag and drop the red marking or enter the four percentage values.

Parameters Chapter 5
If the reading gate is open, the LECTOR ® 620 records images with a frequency of 60 Hz and evaluates these by codes. Ideally, at least one code will have been completely recorded and identified on an image. If the reading gate is closed, no images are recorded.
Signal sources for opening the reading gate:
• S ENSOR / R ESULT 1: A signal at digital input 1 (e.g. via a light barrier) opens the reading gate.
• S ENSOR / R ESULT 2: A signal at digital input 2 (e.g. via a light barrier) opens the reading gate.
• E XTERNAL I NPUT 1: A signal at external digital input 1 (e.g. via a light barrier) opens the reading gate.
• E XTERNAL I NPUT 2: A signal at external digital input 2 (e.g. via a light barrier) opens the reading gate.
• SOPAS C OMMAND : A command to open the reading gate is expected e.g. from an external controller (PLC). (A detailed list of the command language is available from SICK on request.)
• A UTO CYCLE : The reading gate is opened and closed automatically after a defined cycle
(using the
parameters) (e.g. if the feed speed stays the same and the code position is constant or for manual code reading)
• CAN: The signal for opening and closing the reading gate is expected via the CAN interface. In a network of devices that communicate with each other via the CAN network, the signal for opening the reading gate can be distributed. For this, a suitable trigger signal is received by a device (usually the master) and distributed to the other CAN network.
• U SER DEFINED COMMAND : You can freely define a command for opening the reading gate, which is e.g. generated by an external controller (PLC) and transmitted to the LECTOR ® 620.
• F REE RUNNING : The reading gate is permanently open. As a result, manual code reading is possible without an external trigger signal (e.g. from a light barrier). Signals for opening/closing the reading gate are ignored. As it is therefore not possible to define a specific point in time for data output, a signal for N O R EAD cannot be output. The time of output and the reading speed depend on the degree of utilization of the LECTOR ® 620.

• G OOD R EAD : The reading gate is closed as soon as the G OOD R EAD condition has been met
(e.g. the required number of codes was read). As a result, the reading gate is only open for as long as required (direct notification of whether a code was identified).

5.7.3
Increase 1D performance
It is possible to optimize the decoding process for 1D codes via the parameters for the
group. The parameters can be used to eliminate interference, thereby increasing device performance.
Adapting the settings to suit the application reduces the decoding time and increases both reading reliability and the readability of low-contrast, 1D codes.
5.7.3.1
Code contrast
To find the codes in the reading field, the image taken is searched thoroughly for structures with sufficiently large contrast variations. A code pattern is only expected within these structures.
A minimum value for these contrast variations is defined in % via the Code contrast para-
meter. Areas where the contrast is below the defined value are not searched for code patterns.
• To read low-contrast codes reliably regardless, a low value (e.g., 10%) must be set. This does, however, increase the decoding time, as it involves searching a larger image area.
• For high-contrast codes, the value can be increased accordingly. In this case, a correspondingly smaller image area is searched, which reduces the decoding time.
5.7.3.2
Code background
The decoding process can be limited to codes with a light or dank background color using
the Code background parameter, which reduces the decoding time.
• W HITE : Only dark codes on a light background are read.
• B LACK : Only light codes on a dark background (inverted codes) are read.
• B OTH : Both dark codes on a light background and light codes on a dark background (inverted codes) are read.

Parameters Chapter 5
5.7.13.1.1
Multiread
You use the
Multiread parameter to define a minimum number of G
OOD R EAD required for a reading to be output as a G OOD R EAD .
By defining a minimum number of readings, you reduce the likelihood of misinterpretations for codes with poor printing quality or a low contrast, and increase reading reliability.
5.7.13.1.2
Module width
You can use the
parameter to choose between the automatic and user-defined module width.
User-defined module width
You use the
parameter to specify in mm the smallest structure for decoding a code.
Missing start and stop characters for codes of code type Pharmacode mean that incorrect
readings could occur for structures with a similar code. To increase reading reliability, the value should be tailored as accurately as possible to the smallest code element (module width) that actually occurs in the code.
5.7.13.1.3
Reverse
If the Reverse parameter is activated, the code is read in reverse direction.
As the codes of code type
Pharmacode do not have a start or stop character and do not have
a check digit at the end, the code contents differ depending on the reading direction. The reading direction must therefore be defined in the configuration.
5.7.13.2
Not calibratable
5.7.13.2.1
Fixed length
The
Fixed length parameter can be used to define a required code length. Only codes with
this length are read.

• Structure: Symbol with L pattern, rectangular symbols also possible
• Standard: ISO/IEC 16022
• Areas of application: Electronics, automotive, aviation, pharmaceuticals, and food pakkaging
5.7.14.1
General
Reading processes such as the code format and symbol size are configured under the
5.7.14.1.1
Code format
You can use the Code format parameter to select the format (Data Matrix Code symbology)
for data output:
• ECC200: The data is output with the standard data formatting.
• GS1: The data is output with the special GS 1 data formatting. User-specific characters can be defined for the FNC1 character (control character at the start of the code) and for the separator (control character within the code). As a result, after every APPLICATION IDENTI -
FIER for example, a line break (CR, LF) can be inserted in the data string.
5.7.14.1.2
Max. permissible error correction
The redundancy that may be used for decoding purposes is specified as a percentage via
the Max. permissible error correction
parameter. With an error correction of 0 %, no redundancy is used in the code for the reading. Only good-quality codes that have been properly applied are read and identified. With an error correction of 100 %, the code detection is maximized by means of redundancy.
A high value during parameter error correction increases the read rate. Low values reduce the read rate and increase the quality of the reading results.
5.7.14.1.3
Activate ISO15415 verification
If the Activate ISO15415 verification
parameter is activated, the codes are verified for compliance with the ISO/IEC 15415 standard. For this, the code contents are used to calculate values that can be output in the data strings via configuration of the output formats.
As the calculation of the values increases the decoding time, the function should only be activated if required.
5.7.14.2
Length
Codes with a defined number of rows and columns can be excluded from the reading pro-
cess via the parameters in the Length group.
Limiting the number of codes to be read reduces the decoding time.

Parameters Chapter 5
5.7.14.2.1
Symbol size
You can use the
Symbol size parameter to restrict the permitted number of lines and co-
lumns of the codes.
The code dimensions are calculated from the symbol size and module size. For this, the symbol size is multiplied by the module size.
To reduce the decoding time, it may make sense to set the actual symbol size of the code and thus exactly specify the expected code size.
• F REE : All AIM/ISO/IEC-specified Data Matrix ECC200 sizes are decoded.
• F IXED
: The Fixed length 1 , Fixed length 2 and Fixed length 3 parameters can be used to
select fixed symbol sizes. Only codes with one of these defined symbol sizes are read.
5.7.14.2.2
Fixed length 1
The Fixed length 1 parameter can be used to select a fixed symbol size. Only codes with this
symbol size are read.
By defining certain permitted symbol sizes, you restrict the range of codes to be read. This can lead to a reduction in the decoding time.
5.7.14.2.3
Fixed length 2
The Fixed length 2 parameter can be used to select a fixed symbol size. Only codes with this
symbol size are read.
By defining certain permitted symbol sizes, you restrict the range of codes to be read. This can lead to a reduction in the decoding time.
5.7.14.2.4
Fixed length 3
The Fixed length 3 parameter can be used to select a fixed symbol size. Only codes with this
symbol size are read.
By defining certain permitted symbol sizes, you restrict the range of codes to be read. This can lead to a reduction in the decoding time.

5.7.14.2.5
Fixed length 4
A fixed symbol size can be selected using the Fixed length 4
parameter. Only codes with this symbol size are read.
Defining specific permissible symbol sizes restricts the spectrum of codes to be read. This can lead to a reduction in the decoding time.
5.7.14.2.6
Fixed length 5
A fixed symbol size can be selected using the Fixed length 5
parameter. Only codes with this symbol size are read.
Defining specific permissible symbol sizes restricts the spectrum of codes to be read. This can lead to a reduction in the decoding time.
5.7.14.2.7
Allow rectangular data fields
If the
Symbol size parameter has value F
REE , square (e.g. 16 x 16) and rectangular (e.g. 8
x 18) symbols are identified if the Allow rectangular data fields parameter is activated.
5.7.14.3
Reducing evaluation time
The decoding time is adapted to the application on site and optimized via the parameters for the
Reducing evaluation time group.
5.7.14.3.1
Code surrounded by patterns
If the Code surrounded by patterns
parameter is activated, patterns/lines (e.g. strip conductors on printed circuit board) in the code environment are ignored during evaluation.
As a result, the reading concentrates on the code elements and the decoding time is reduced.
Codes with poor quality are generally ignored if the function is activated.
5.7.14.3.2
Code surrounded by text
If the Code surrounded by text parameter is activated, text (e.g. on packaging) in the code
environment are ignored during evaluation.

Parameters Chapter 5
As a result, the reading concentrates on the code elements and the decoding time is reduced.
Codes with poor quality are generally ignored if the function is activated.
5.7.14.3.3
Decoding
The parameter
defines if the reading is optimized on time or on aggressive decoding.
• FAST : Fast decoding is recommanded when the code quality is good and the decoding time must be very short.
• AGGRESSIVE : Aggressive is usefull when decoding time is not that relevant, e.g. stationary applications, but the code is of poor quality, e.g. low contrast, errors in the codes.
• BALANCED : Balanced meets the needs of applications in between.
5.7.14.4
Increasing robustness
The settings in the Increasing robustness
group are used to increase the readability of codes with poor printing quality. However, these settings reduce the reading reliability.
5.7.14.4.1
Errors in L-pattern
According to the ISO/IEC 16022 standard, the code structure (L-pattern) must be marked without gaps and must extend across the complete code height and width. If the
L-pattern parameter is active, however, codes with an incorrect code structure are also
read.
During decoding, any gaps in the code structure are ignored. For the code to still be read, there must be a quiet zone of at least 5 times the cell size around the code. This may increase the decoding time.
5.7.14.5
GS1 format
The control characters in the GS1 data matrix code format can be replaced with alternative,
user-specific characters under the GS1 format
group. Control characters in the GS1 data matrix are used at the start of the code to identify the code format and within the code to classify the data groups. The user-specific characters are entered as hexadecimal values via the keyboard, clipboard, or the A DD VARIABLE OR CONSTANT button.
5.7.14.5.1
Replacing the FNC1 character
In the GS1 code format, the Replacing the FNC1 character
parameter can be used to define user-specific characters for the FNC1 character (control character at the start of the code).
The characters are entered via the keyboard or clipboard.

Data processing
The
Data processing tab contains the parameters for defining the two output formats, as
well as for filtering, sorting, and controlling the data output.
These parameters are used to define the data, conditions, time, and sequence of the output on the communication interfaces.
5.8.1
Collection of data
Data is assigned to an object in the Collection of data group. Using the parameters in the
group, object data can be used uniquely in relation to a particular object and the code content can be uniquely assigned to an object.
5.8.1.1
Timeout
The
parameter defines the duration before data processing should be started or stopped.
5.8.2
Code summarization
Depending on their position on the object, a distinction can be made between codes of the same type and with the same content using the parameters in the
group.
For this to take place, there must be a definable minimum distance (code distance) between the identical codes on the object.
5.8.2.1
Separate codes depending on position
If the Separate codes depending on position
parameter is activated, the system differentiates between codes of the same code type and with identical code contents depending on their position on the object.
The identical codes on the object must have a definable minimum distance ( Code distance
).
5.8.2.2

Output time
You can use the
parameter to define when the reading results are to be output.
• E ND OF TRIGGER : The reading results of all codes are output as soon as the reading gate is closed. As a result, the data is output at a definable point in time.
• A S SOON AS POSSIBLE : The reading results of a code are output immediately after code identification (even if the reading gate is still open). As a result, data can immediately be processed further.
• N EW LABEL : The reading results of a code are output directly after identification of a code.
However, before the same code can be output again, another code must be identified. As a result (e.g. during manual reading), you can prevent a code from being identified multiple times and the data being output again.
• E ND OF LABEL : The reading results of a code are output as soon as a code leaves the reading area of the LECTOR ® 620.

value is selected for the Output time
parameter, the
parameter can be used to hold back the data for a certain period after the reading gate has been closed. This allows the timings to be adapted to the control (PLC).
The unit can be selected via the
parameter.
A long delay time slows down the image output. The image output can speed up if the delay values are low.

If the
Check min. number of valid codes parameter is activated, the number of different co-
des is determined and compared with a specified minimum value (
This enables you to check, for example, whether all required codes for an object are available.
Minimum The
Minimum parameter is used to define the minimum number of different codes that
must be identified so that a reading is classed as a G OOD R EAD . If the specified value is not reached, the reading is classed as invalid (N O R EAD ).
All codes that differ from the other codes in terms of the symbology, code length, code contents, or code positions are counted.
5.8.4.1.2
Check max. number of valid codes
If the Check max. number of valid codes
parameter is activated, the number of different co-
des is determined and compared with a specified maximum value ( Maximum
).
This enables you to ensure, for example, that only the required codes for an object are available.
Maximum
parameter is used to define the maximum number of different codes that can be identified so that a reading is classed as a G OOD R EAD . If the specified value is exceeded, the reading is classed as invalid (N O R EAD ).
All codes that differ from the other codes in terms of the symbology, code length, code contents, or code positions are counted.
5.8.4.2
Evaluation conditions
Conditions that are checked by the device at each reading gate are defined in the
Evaluation conditions group. If defined conditions are fulfilled, specific actions can be per-
formed by the device – for example, setting an output signal, ending a reading gate, or outputting an image or a particular data string.
Evaluation conditions can be used to define situations that serve as reference points for flexible process control and data processing in the device software. The use of evaluation conditions shifts the complexity of control tasks from the external controls (PLCs) into the code reader, meaning costs are reduced.
General operation Conditions that have already been created can be edited via the button. A dialog box opens which specifies the condition in detail.
Conditions that have been taught in can be deleted via the button.
A further new condition can be created via the button. A dialog box opens which allows you to accurately specify the condition. The condition type and name are accurately defined in the dialog box along with the condition itself.

The two matchcodes are stored in the Matchcode Teach-in 1 and
group respectively and can be subsequently modified individually.
5.8.5.3.1
Start teach-in
The Start teach-in parameter is used to select the signal that triggers automatic teach-in of
a matchcode.
• A UTOMATIC / STATIC : The reading gate is automatically opened by a signal (e.g. a key switch).
The next read code is taught in as a matchcode.
• M ACHINE TRIGGER / DYNAMIC : Matchcode teach-in is prepared by a signal (e.g. a key switch) at one of the digital inputs of the LECTOR ® 620. After the reading gate has been opened
(usually by a light barrier), the next read code is taught in as a matchcode.
5.8.5.3.2
Allowed code types
You use the Allowed code types
parameter to define which code types are to be taught in as the matchcode.
As every code of a different code type could also be interpreted as a pharmacode, the Pharmacode code type must be selected exclusively.
• A CTIVATED CODE TYPES : In accordance with the code configuration, all activated code types are accepted for matchcode teach-in. To ensure that the desired code type can be read, the code configuration must first be checked.
• A LL TYPES ( EXCEPT P HARMACODE ): All code types except Pharmacode are accepted for matchcode teach-in.
• O NLY P HARMACODE : Only codes of code type Pharmacode are accepted for matchcode teach-in.
5.8.5.3.3

Filters/Sorters for the output formatting
You can use the graphical interface on the
Filters/Sorters for the output formatting tab to
restrict (filter) data for outputting the reading results and define the sequence in which the data is output (sorted). By combining filters and sorters, you can therefore individually influence data output.
Any number of filters and sorters can be graphically arranged for this between the device and PC. The filters can also be arranged in parallel.
You can add further filters and sorters by pulling down the corresponding symbols. The filters or sorters can be copied by dragging the symbols while holding down the Ctrl pushbutton. To delete a symbol, drag it over to the recycle bin. Selected symbols can also be removed by pressing the E NTF . button.
During filtering, you can use the button to define the variable and condition for filtering.
Example: (CL) C ODELÄNGE = 10: Only codes with a code length of exactly 10 characters are output.
During sorting, you can use the button to select the variable used to sort the reading results. The option is also available to sort the results in ascending or descending order.
Example: (CL) C ODELÄNGE - A UFSTEIGEND : The codes with the shortest code length are output first.

5.8.6.2
Filters/Sorters for Output Format2
You can use the graphical interface of the
Filters/Sorters for Output Format2 group to re-
strict (filter) data for output of the reading results and define the sequence in which the data is output (sort). By combining filters and sorters, you can therefore individually influence data output.
Any number of filters and sorters can be graphically arranged for this between the device and PC. The filters can also be arranged in parallel.
You can add further filters and sorters by pulling down the corresponding symbols. If you move the symbols while holding down the Ctrl key, you can copy filters or sorters. You can delete the symbols by moving them to the trash. Selected symbols can also be removed by pressing the D EL . key.
During filtering, you can use the button to define the variable and condition for filtering.
Example: (CL) C ODE LENGTH = 10: Only codes with a code length of exactly 10 characters are output.
During sorting, you use the button to select the variable used to sort the reading results.
You can also choose between sorting in ascending and descending order.
Example: (CL) C ODE LENGTH - A SCENDING : The codes with the shortest code length are output first.
For more information, see the F1 help.

Output format
The format of the data strings for outputting the reading results are defined on the
tab.
The flexibility of the output format allows additional information to be added relating to the code and its position, the reading gate, and the individual reading results.
5.8.7.1
Output format 1
The format of the data string for outputting the reading results is defined on the graphical interface of the
Output format 1 group. A total of two different formats ( Output format 1 and
Output format 2 ) can be defined. During configuration of the interfaces, one of the two out-
put formats can be assigned.
The output format is graphically displayed and can contain conditions, special characters
(orange), variables (blue), or free text. To individually modify the output format, you select the required insertion position with the mouse. The entries are made using the keyboard or special buttons:
You can use the button or the context menu (right mouse button) to insert, for example, conditions, special characters (e.g., start and stop), or reading result variables.
For additional information see the F1 help.
You can use the button to modify the properties of a condition. For each condition, you can define which data should be output if the condition is met. You can also define data for the case in which the condition is not met. Conditions can be interleaved.
To check the output format, you can display the reading results on the terminal. To do this, you open the terminal using the button in the toolbar and establish a connection with the

Wizard Pressing the
Wizard button launches a dialog box which can be used to select frequently-
used standard output formats. The output format selected in the wizard is accepted into the
graphic interface of the Output format 1 group where it is displayed graphically. The output
format can be individually adjusted at a later stage.
5.8.7.2
Output format 2
The format of the data string for outputting the reading results is defined on the graphical interface of the
Output format 2 group. A total of two different formats (
Output format 2 ) can be defined. During configuration of the interfaces, one of the two out-
put formats can be assigned.
The output format is graphically displayed and can contain conditions, special characters
(orange), variables (blue), or free text. To individually modify the output format, you select the required insertion position with the mouse. The entries are made using the keyboard or special buttons:
You can use the button or the context menu (right mouse button) to insert, for example, conditions, special characters (e.g., start and stop), or reading result variables.
For additional information see the F1 help.
You can use the button to modify the properties of a condition. For each condition, you can define which data should be output if the condition is met. You can also define data for the case in which the condition is not met. Conditions can be interleaved.
To check the output format, you can display the reading results on the terminal. To do this, you open the terminal using the button in the toolbar and establish a connection with the device (V ERBINDUNG menu on the terminal). For each trigger (reading gate), a data string is transferred and displayed in the terminal.

5.8.8
Serial input data
The
tab contains the parameters for handling input data. The following options are available for handling input data from the serial aux and host interfaces:
• D ATA FORWARDING
• A UXILIARY INPUT
• EDS TEXT ELEMENT IN OUTPUT FORMAT
The data can be transferred to the sensor via the serial aux/serial host interfaces.
The telegram identifier must differentiate between STX and ETX SOPAS commands, as other
SOPAS commands can be sent to the sensor. It is recommended to use the default values for headers (
) and terminators (
) for the received data.
5.8.8.1
Data forwarding
This option can be used if you intend to send data from an external device such as a handheld scanner to a host in addition to the reading result. In this case, the data is not interpreted by the sensor, but is also output at the specified interface. The digital outputs are not controlled and the data is not processed according to evaluation conditions.
Possible destinations are:
• Serial aux interface
• Serial host interface
• Ethernet aux interface
• Ethernet host interface
5.8.8.1.1
Rx header
The
parameter is used to define a header for the received data. This header is used by the sensor to identify the start of the input data. The identification must differ from the SOPAS command. It is recommended to use the default setting.
The header is restricted to two characters and must be entered via the context menu or the
button. It is possible to enter control characters and constants. The input field is highlighted in red if invalid characters are entered.
5.8.8.1.2
Rx terminator
The
parameter is used to define a terminator for the received data. This terminator is used by the sensor to identify the end of the input data.
The input is restricted to two characters and must be entered via the context menu or the
button. It is possible to enter control characters and constants. The input field is highlighted in red if invalid characters are entered.
5.8.8.1.3
Target interface
The

The input is restricted to two characters and must be entered via the context menu or the
button. It is possible to enter control characters and constants. The input field is highlighted in red if invalid characters are entered.
5.8.8.2
Auxiliary input/Auxiliary read result
This option can be used if you intend for data from an external device such as a hand-held scanner to be output instead of the specific sensor reading. The auxiliary input must be made when the sensor's reading gate is closed.
The external device data is entered in the sensor's database and output immediately at all configured interfaces – including the fieldbus interfaces – in the same way as a specific reading result.
This generates the same format as is used in the case of a specific result. The data is interpreted by the sensor and can also control the digital outputs and, if necessary, the beeper.
The data can also be checked using evaluation conditions (e.g., at Match 1).
5.8.8.2.1
Rx header
The
parameter is used to define a header for the received data. This header is used by the sensor to identify the start of the input data. The identification must differ from the SOPAS command. It is recommended to use the default setting.
The header is restricted to two characters and must be entered via the context menu or the
button. It is possible to enter control characters and constants. The input field is highlighted in red if invalid characters are entered.
5.8.8.2.2
Rx terminator
The
parameter is used to define a terminator for the received data. This terminator is used by the sensor to identify the end of the input data.
The input is restricted to two characters and must be entered via the context menu or the

5.8.8.3
EDS TEXT ELEMENT in output format / element output format
This option can be used if you intend for data from an external device such as a weighing scale to be joined with the sensor data. This allows the reading result and the external data to be sent to the host in a string.
For this to take place, the external data must be received by the sensor while the reading gate is open. If the sensor does not receive any data during the reading gate interval, a default text is sent so that the host is aware that no data has been received. It makes the most sense to use this option with data output at the PSDI end.
The EDS text element can be positioned freely as a variable in its output format and can be formatted by double-clicking on a fixed length.
The output takes place at all configured interfaces, including the fieldbus interfaces.

5.8.8.3.3
Default text
The Default text parameter is used to define a default text for the EDS variable. The default
text is only output for EDS if no valid data was received during the reading gate.
The EDS variable is described with the default text at the start of the reading gate. During the reading gate, the EDS variable can be overwritten by an external device with the required data – several times, if necessary. At the end, the most recently assigned value or the default text is output.
To ensure that data is output, the EDS variable (object-related, EDS = external data string) must be inserted. The option is available to format the EDS variable by double-clicking, e.g., on a fixed length.
5.8.9
Application counters
Events such as successful readings (G OOD R EAD ) and unsuccessful readings (N O R EAD ) are
counted and saved on the Application counters

• M ANUAL INPUT : A time entered on the user interface is used once to synchronize the device time. The synchronization is triggered by the user via a button. When the device is switched off, the device time is automatically reset to the most recent manually entered value.
It is recommended to use a time server for synchronization purposes as this setting does not require the device time to be manually reentered after restarting the device.
5.9.1.1.2
Time server IP address
The
parameter is used to enter the server's IP address from which the reading device obtains the time during synchronization. The user can initiate the first synchronization process using the R ETRIEVE TIME FROM TIME SERVER button.

parameter is used to set the port to be used for the connection to the time server.
5.9.1.1.4
Connection timeout
The
Connection timeout parameter is used to define a timeout in ms for establishing the
connection between the device and time server. After a connection interruption or restart, the device attempts to establish a connection to the server at predefined intervals.
5.9.1.1.5
Time difference to GMT
A deviation from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is set via the
meter. The time difference is entered in minutes.
If a time server with a GMT time zone is used, yet the reading device is to be used in a different time zone, it is recommended and indeed necessary to set the deviation from GMT.
5.9.1.1.6
Date (YYYY-MM-DD)
The Date (YYYY-MM-DD) parameter is used to enter the date to be accepted by the reading
device when setting its device time. The device time synchronization is triggered by the user via the S ET DEVICE TIME button.
5.9.1.1.7
Time (hh:mm:ss)
The Time (hh:mm:ss) parameter is used to enter the time to be accepted by the reading de-
vice when setting its device time. The device time synchronization is triggered by the user via the S ET DEVICE TIME button.
5.9.2
Image diagnosis
The
tab is used to determine which images are transmitted or stored by the reading device for diagnosis purposes. It is even possible to define time delays and the conditions for transmitting or backing up the images.
The file path, storage medium, and image names can also be defined.
One of the purposes of saving images is to support the user during the commissioning process by making it clear to see what the device is detecting. A further function of saving images is to help analyze the device in the event of a failed reading (reading result: N O R EAD ).
The saved images make it easier to identify causes of failure such as the deterioration of code markings.
5.9.2.1
Image diagnostic
The
group contains the parameters for image output.
Depending on your requirements, the selection of images to be stored can be restricted. For example, you can store only images from unsuccessful readings in order to investigate possible causes of failed/incorrect readings.

Parameters Chapter 5
5.9.2.1.1
Conditions for image storing
The Conditions for image storing
parameter is used to select the condition on which images are stored for diagnosis.
• G OOD R EAD : Only images of a successful code reading are stored.
• N O R EAD : Only images of an unsuccessful code reading are stored.
• A LL : All recorded images are stored.
• C ONDITION M ATCH 1: The recorded images are only stored if the read code corresponds to the matchcode from C ONDITION M ATCH 1.
• C ONDITION M ULT C ODES 1: The recorded images are only stored if the number of read codes corresponds to the required number from C ONDITION M ULT C ODES 1.
• C ONDITION T EACH I N 1: The recorded images are only stored if condition
is met.
• C ONDITION T EACH I N 2: The recorded images are only stored if condition
Match-code Teachin 2 (Additional)
is met.
5.9.2.1.2
Prioritizing image output over the trigger
The Prioritizing image output over the trigger parameter defines a processing sequence for
outputting images and accepting an object trigger. If this parameter is activated, the diagnostics images are transmitted in full before the device accepts and processes an object trigger for the subsequent reading process. If this parameter is deactivated, a trigger signal is processed by the device in any case and an unfinished image output is interrupted.
To set up the reading device, the priority of the image output can be used to determine what the device detects within a reading gate. If this parameter is activated, you can check the object trigger interval and length of the reading process. In applications where image output is more important than continuous object/code detection, it is only recommended to prioritize the image output for normal operation in exceptional circumstances.
5.9.2.1.3
Image selection
parameter to select the images to be stored for each reading gate.
• L AST G OOD R EAD / LAST IMAGE : If the code reading was successful, the last image on which one or more codes were read is stored. If the code reading was not successful, the most recently recorded image is stored. (Recommended for applications for which the code does not move out of the reading gate during reading.)
• F IRST IMAGE : The first recorded image is stored. (Recommended for applications for which the code is in motion during reading and for which triggering takes place to the code, i.e. the first image already contains a code.)
• I MAGE SEQUENCE : All recorded images are stored as a sequence. (Recommended for applications for which the reading gate is opened by an object and the position of the code on the object is not known exactly.) The recording of image sequences is used to check triggering and recording quality for moving objects. The images are numbered top left. If image numbers are missing, not all recordings can be decoded and the settings (e.g. code settings) must be modified accordingly.

Network/Interfaces/IOs
Settings for using the CAN bus interface can be made on the Network/Interfaces/IOs
tab.
With the CDF600 connection module, SICK reading devices have a CAN interface that can be used in the following ways:
• The CAN interface is used to integrate the device into a SICK network. In the SICK network, only SICK reading devices can be networked via CAN bus. This type of device group is used to scan an object from different perspectives and transmit the reading result to a host.
As far as the host is concerned, the device group functions as an individual device. The master/slave or multiplexer/server operating modes are available for the SICK network. Both operating modes can be combined.
• The reading device can be integrated into a CAN fieldbus system with no further specification via CANopen. The SICK reading device operates as a slave under a CANopen client
(PLC) and can communicate with devices from other manufacturers.
The
folder in the project tree contains all parameters for configuring and activating serial interfaces, fieldbus interfaces, digital inputs and outputs, and beepers.

Network options
Parameters for identifying the reading devices in the network are combined in the
5.10.1.1
Device ID
parameter assigns the device a unique number in the network. The assigned
ID is used as a CAN node for the CAN bus.
If the device is connected to a SICK network via CAN, device IDs 1 to 63 can be assigned. If the device is connected to a CANopen fieldbus, device IDs 1 to 127 can be assigned. Duplicated IDs must not be assigned.
The device must be clearly identified on the network to enable communication via CAN bus and to assign reading results to devices.
5.10.1.2
Device name
A name is assigned to the device via the Device name parameter. The device name appears
in SOPAS in the project tree.
It is not compulsory to assign a device name, although it can offer a better overview of all devices in the system during the configuration process.
5.10.2
Master/Slave
In the
Master/Slave group, the device is configured as a SICK network participant in a ma-
ster/slave operating mode. A maximum of 10 slaves can be connected to a master. The master sends the trigger signal to the slaves via CAN bus at the start of the reading process.
The slaves send the reading results to the master, which then sends the reading result in the configured output format to the PLC at the end of the reading process. The PLC only receives a No Read for an unsuccessful reading result from the master if none of the slave devices have sent a successful reading result (Good Read) to the master.
The SICK network in the master/slave operating mode is typically used to read objects that can accommodate the code in various positions. Several reading devices can be used to search for the existing code on all sides of the object. The master only transmits the reading from the device with the successful reading result to the PLC. The unsuccessful readings
(No Reads) from the devices where no code was available are not sent to the PLC. This increases the processing speed of the control system.
For additional information see the F1 help.
Wizard Pressing the S TART WIZARD button launches a dialog box via which the device can be configured in full as a SICK network participant in the master/slave operating mode. The wizard provides the parameters required for configuring the CAN interface, device network functions, output control, and object trigger control. The values entered into the wizard are accepted into the relevant parameter groups and tabs once the configuration is complete.

5.10.2.1
Function
The device function within the SICK network in master/slave operating mode is specified via the
parameter.
• S TAND ALONE : The reading device is not integrated into a SICK network and operates as a single device station in the system. The device communicates directly with the host.
• S LAVE : As a slave, the reading device receives trigger signals from the master for the start and end of the reading process. The slave sends the reading result to the master.
• M ASTER : As a master, the reading device distributes trigger signals to the slaves for the start and end of the reading process. The master receives the trigger signals directly from a photoelectric switch or in series via the PLC. Once it receives the reading results from the slaves, the master sends these to the PLC in accordance with the configured output format.
5.10.2.2
Slave list
The slave's device IDs that are connected to the master device are entered via the
parameter. The device IDs are separated by commas. Up to 10 slaves can be entered for one master.
The input field is highlighted in red if the input is invalid.
5.10.3
Multiplexer/Server
group, the device is configured as a SICK network participant in a multiplexer/server operating mode. A maximum of 31 devices can be connected to a multiplexer. The servers receive trigger signals for the start and end of the reading process via their respective photoelectric switches which are connected to the digital input (sensor 1).
This allows them to be distributed in a system at different positions. The servers transmit the reading results to the multiplexer, which forwards them to the PLC in a configured output format along with the server's device ID. As the servers have their own trigger sources and operate independently of each other, the reading results are processed and forwarded in the multiplexer in the sequence in which they are entered.
In the multiplexer/server operating mode, a SICK network of 32 reading devices can be managed without auxiliary devices. The operating mode is typically inserted in systems that have a large distribution of reading devices which function independently of each other.
For additional information see the F1 help.
Wizard Pressing the S TART WIZARD button launches a dialog box via which the device can be configured in full as a SICK network participant in the multiplexer/server operating mode.

parameter is activated, user-defined process data objects
(PDOs) can be sent and received by a script program.
The user-defined PDOs are entries in the object dictionary that are reserved for scripts and configured in the object dictionary. The reserved PDOs are used to allow the script to receive status changes from the CAN input modules and control CAN output modules by sending a
PDO. This is how the communication bandwidth of the device is extended in terms of its software. The reading device can use the extended communication bandwidth for control tasks within its surrounding area, even if the required number of switching inputs and outputs for the control process is not available.
5.10.10.1.14 COB ID RPDO user digital input
The
COB ID RPDO user digital input
parameter defines the CAN identifier for the user-defined receive process data objects (RPDOs) received on the reading device.
For the first four receive process data objects (RPDOs), communication and mapping can be configured by accessing objects 0x1400 to 0x1403 and 0x1600 to 0x1603. The configuration is saved in the device's parameter set. The other RPDOs cannot be configured.

5.10.10.1.18 Reading result with SDO/PDO
The
parameter determines how the reading result is transmitted within the CANopen protocol.
• W ITH SDO: The reading result is stored in the object dictionary in the configured output format. The reading device sends a process data object (PDO) with a status bit set to DATA
AVAILABLE to indicate that the reading results are available. A CANopen client, typically the
PLC, can load the data via the service data object domain (SDO domain). Once the upload is complete, the CANopen client issues an enabling signal for the reading results in the object dictionary.
• W ITH PDO: The reading result is transmitted via several consecutive process data objects
(PDOs). The configured reading result is restricted to 50 characters for this transmission. It is possible to configure the number of PDOs used for the transmission and the identifier of the first PDO sent. All other PDOs involved in data transmission use continuous identifiers.
• D EACTIVATED : No reading results are transferred.
The output format is configured on the Output format tab or under the

Parameters Chapter 5
5.10.10.1.19 Reading result timeout
The
parameter defines an interval in ms within which a reading result in the object dictionary is made available for upload by an SDO client. Once this interval has elapsed, the reading result is discarded.
When transmitting the reading results with the service data object (SDO), the reading results are stored in the object dictionary and downloaded by the SDO client. A timeout must be specified for the SDO client upload.
5.10.10.1.20 Automatic release after SDO upload
If the Automatic release after SDO upload parameter is activated, the reading results are
automatically released by the SDO client after the upload.
When transmitting the reading results with the service data object (SDO), the reading results are stored in the object dictionary and downloaded by the SDO client. To enter the following reading result, a release must take place after the SDO upload. If the release takes place automatically, the SDO client does not require an application for release purposes.
Data transmission is relatively insecure, as the process after automatic release does not enable a repeated data request by the SDO client.
5.10.10.1.21 Enable command response output
If the Enable command response output parameter is activated, the reading device re-
sponds to the SOPAS commands sent by the PLC.
SOPAS commands from the control are entered into object 0x2200/0. The reading device responds via an entry in object 0x2020/4 and sends a process data object (PDO) with identifier 0x180 and the CAN node number to the PLC. The PLC loads the command response entered in the object dictionary via the SDO domain.
SOPAS commands constitute a command language that can be used to control the functions of the reading device and the object trigger control. A detailed list of the command language can be obtained from SICK on request.
5.10.10.1.22 Command response timeout
The
Command response timeout parameter defines an interval in ms within which a re-
sponse to a SOPAS command is made available in the object dictionary for upload by an
SDO client. Once this interval has elapsed, the command response is discarded.
When transmitting the responses to SOPAS commands, the device response is stored in the object dictionary and downloaded by the SDO client. A timeout must be specified for the
SDO client upload.

5.10.10.1.23 Basic COB ID for PDO reading results
The Basic COB ID for PDO reading results
parameter defines the CAN identifier for the first transmit process data object (TPDO) used to transmit the reading result.
When transmitting the reading results with process data objects (PDOs), the reading result is distributed to several PDOs sent in sequence and sent to the PLC. The identifier for the first PDO must be configured; subsequent PDOs have continuous identifiers.
5.10.10.1.24 Transmission type
The processing and triggering procedures for process data objects (PDOs) are configured
parameter. The CANopen parameter defines the processing and triggering time in relation to the SYNC object. The SYNC object is for synchronizing the CAN nodes in the CAN bus and, together with the TIME STAMP object, ensures that the time is uniform consistent across the network. The parameter must be entered in accordance with the CANopen standard.
0xFE example: The device processes and transmits PDOs as soon as new data as available.
There are three different transfer types:
• A SYNCHRONOUS : PDOs bear no reference to the SYNC object. PDOs are processed as soon as they have been received and sent immediately after they have been triggered. The trigger can be controlled by an event or a send request.
• S YNCHRONOUS : PDOs are processed with temporal reference to the SYNC object. It is possible to set the number of SYNC objects before processing takes place.
• A CYCLIC SYNCHRONOUS : PDOs are received with no reference to the SYNC object but are not processed until after the next SYNC object. The PDO is triggered by an event with no reference to the SYNC object but is not transmitted until after the next SYNC object.
5.10.10.1.25 Inhibit time
The
parameter defines an interval in ms that must lie between the repeated transmission of process data objects (PDOs).
5.10.10.1.26 Number of PDOs
The
parameter is used to determine the number of process data objects
(PDOs) that transmit the reading result.
When transmitting reading results with PDOs, the reading result data is distributed to several PDOs. The PDOs are transmitted in sequence. The configured reading result is restricted to 50 characters for this type of transmission.
5.10.10.1.27 Enable diagnosis output
If the Enable diagnosis output
parameter is activated, the device's reading diagnosis data is monitored by the control via the CANopen interface. The reading device initiates monitoring via process data objects (PDOs). The device sends a PDO with identifier 0x180 and
CAN node to indicate that the control should load an entry.

Parameters Chapter 5
5.10.10.1.28 Diagnostics timeout
The Diagnostics timeout parameter defines an interval in ms within which reading diagnosis
data is made available in the object dictionary for upload by the control. Once this interval has elapsed, the reading diagnostic data is discarded.
Alternatively, the timeout values can be modified directly in the object dictionary via objects
0x3010/01 to 0x3010/02. The changes are not accepted until the device has been restarted.
When monitoring the reading diagnostic data, the data is stored in the object dictionary and downloaded by the control. A timeout must be specified for the upload.
5.10.10.1.29 CANopen heartbeat rate / ms
The
parameter defines an interval in mm that lies between the CANopen heartbeat objects.
The heartbeat protocol is used in CANopen networks to check the CAN nodes. The CANopen heartbeat protocol stipulates that every CAN node must send out heartbeat objects at cyclical intervals and receive them from other bus participants. The transmission cycle must be configured.
5.10.10.1.30 COB ID Emergency Obj
