6.2.4 Multi-label read mode 3 (Multi 3)

Multi-label read mode 3 allows the BL-600 Series to continuously read one of
each of the 4 bar code types, “Code 1” to “Code 4”, as specified in the [[Code
setup]] screen of the setup software

(

See page 49.)

during one trigger input

signal.

*

If three types are specified in the [[Code setup]] screen, the BL-600 Series
reads three bar codes. If two types are specified, it reads two bar codes.

Even if several bar codes (4 max.) exist in the field of the laser beam, the BL-
600 Series can simultaneously read all the bar codes, provided the data of all
the bar codes is different.

The BL-600 Series sends all the read data at one time in the order of “Code 1” to
“Code 4” after the trigger input turns off.

Timing diagram

*

The BL-600 Series continuously reads bar codes in the following periods.

For a “Level signal” trigger

➮ See page 86.

:

During the trigger input signal

For a “One-shot” trigger

➮ See page 87.

:

During the preset input time

*

The OK signal turns on if the BL-600 Series reads all the bar codes specified for
“Code 1” to “Code 4”.(Comparison to the preset data is not performed.)
The NG output turns on if the BL-600 Series fails to read at least one bar code.

Data format
The read data is sent to the personal computer in the following format.

*

Each data packet is separated by a comma (, : 2CH) (intermediate delimiter).

*

If the reading fails for any one of the Codes 1 to 4, or the corresponding bar
code does not exist, an “ERROR”

(

➮ See page 112 for the reading error codes.)

is sent

instead of the read data.

➮ See page 113 for “header string” and “delimiter”.
