Interface and Communication Options

The SICK CLV650-6120 provides multiple communication interfaces. The primary interface is Ethernet with TCP/IP protocol. Data transmission runs at 10 or 100 MBit/s speeds. PROFINET support comes standard on this model.

EtherNet/IP is also available for factory automation networks. The serial interface supports RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 protocols. Baud rates range from 2,400 to 115.2 kBaud. CAN and CANopen interfaces expand connectivity further.

For fieldbus integration, the CLV650-6120 works with PROFIBUS DP. This requires an optional CDF600-2 external module. EtherCAT is also available via the CDF600 module. This flexibility makes the scanner suitable for most control systems.

Readable Code Types and Performance

The SICK CLV650-6120 reads all major 1D code types. Supported codes include Code 39, Code 128, and Code 93. It also reads Codabar, GS1-128, and UPC/EAN codes. Interleaved 2 of 5, Pharmacode, and GS1 DataBar work well.

Telepen and MSI/Plessey codes are also supported. The standard decoder reads 1 to 20 codes per scan. The SMART decoder reads 1 to 6 codes per scan. Each reading interval captures up to 50 codes automatically.

The scanner handles up to 5,000 characters per reading interval. Multiple reading settings range from 1 to 99 repeats. The oscillating mirror can run in fixed or oscillating modes. Users can set the mirror to one shot operation as needed.

Installation Guide for the CLV650-6120

Follow these steps to install the SICK CLV650-6120 correctly.

1. Mount the scanner on a stable bracket near the conveyor.

2. Position the device at the desired reading distance range.

3. Connect the M12 Ethernet cable to the 12-pin male connector.

4. Connect the 18-30V DC power supply to the 4-pin female connector.

5. Adjust the scanner angle to face the barcode labels.

6. Power on the unit and check the LED indicators.

7. Use SOPAS ET software to configure reading parameters.

8. Set the auto focus range for your specific application.

9. Test with sample barcodes to verify read rates.

10. Secure all cables with strain relief where needed.

The scanner requires a clean window for optimal performance. Clean the glass window regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid mounting near strong ambient light sources above 2,000 lx.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the maximum reading distance of the CLV650-6120?
The SICK CLV650-6120 reads barcodes from 125mm up to 1,570mm. The auto focus feature adjusts automatically across this entire range.

2. Does this scanner require a separate fieldbus gateway?
The CLV650-6120 has built-in Ethernet, PROFINET, and EtherNet/IP. For PROFIBUS DP or EtherCAT, you need an optional CDF600 or CDF600-2 module.

3. Can the SICK CLV650-6120 read poor quality barcodes?
Yes, this scanner requires a minimum print contrast of 60% (PCS). It reads labels with print ratios from 2:1 to 3:1 reliably.

4. How do I monitor the reading performance on site?
The CLV650-6120 has 10 LEDs showing reading rate percentage. Six additional LEDs indicate Ready, Result, Laser, Data, CAN, and LNK TX status.

5. What is the laser diode lifetime for this scanner?
The SICK CLV650-6120 has an MTTF of 40,000 hours for the laser diode. The total device MTBF is 100,000 hours under normal operating conditions.
