Overview of installation sequence

The following list contains the most important installation steps for the MSC800 in combination with 1D/2D code sensors (ICR890 System, CLV490 Bar Code Scanner) and the VMS4xx/5xx Volume Measurement System:

1. Check delivery for completeness.2. Install the 1D/2D code sensors (ICR890 System, CLV490) and VMS4xx/5xx.3. Install the MSC800 close to the reading section.4. Install the photoelectric reflex switch and, if necessary, further sensors on the conveyor system

in front of the reading location against the direction of transport.5. If necessary, install the incremental encoder to the reading location on the conveyor system.6. Electrically connect the MSC800 to the 1D/2D code sensors.7. Connect the sensors as well as the data processing host and PC to the MSC800 configuration.8. Connect the MSC800 to the supply voltage (100 to 264 V AC/50 to 60 Hz).9. Switch on the MSC800 using the main switch.

The MSC800 and the connected sensors start automatically.10. Switch on the PC for configuration and install the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software (minimum

requirements: Windows 98TM).11. Start the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software and set up the new SOPAS-ET Project by selecting the

corresponding device descriptions.12. Establish communication with the MSC800.13. Configure the MSC800 and the 1D/2D code sensors via the register tabs in the SOPAS-ET

Configuration Software (code configuration, reading pulse, etc.).14. Adjust or optimize the 1D/2D code sensors.15. Carry out a test reading with the 1D/2D code. Move the object with the respective code(s) several

times across the conveyor level beneath the reading system and display the reading results in the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software.

16. Repeat the test reading under real conditions and check that the data has been transferred to the host.

17. Correct or optimize the parameter values where necessary via the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software.

18. Save the parameter set as an "*.spr" configuration file to the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software.The MSC800 is ready for operation once the application-specific setting has been set.

The MSC800 Modular System Controller is used in combination with a corresponding number of 1D/2D code sensors and a VMS4xx/5xx. The logic controller of the MSC800 assumes coordination of the sensors.

The intended use of the MSC800 results from the following description of the system components and their functions:

• The 1D/2D code sensors are powered by the power supply unit of the MSC800.

• In combination with the MSC800 the 1D/2D sensors transfer their data via a CAN in-terface to the MSC800. The data can then be accessed from the HOST data interface.

• The configuration/operation of the MSC800 is carried out via the AUX auxiliary inter-face (serial RS 232 or Ethernet) using the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software, which runs on a standard client PC.

• As a separate component the MSC800-0000 Logic Controller is desigend for installa-tion in to a system that is resold or integrated into a third part system. The component has to be installed in a metal control cabinet. To do so, see for the installation require-ments in Chapter 4.3.2, page 42.

3.4 Method of MSC800 operation

1D/2D code sensors are used in combination with a MSC800 for automatic and non-contact detection and decoding of 1D/2D codes. The reading results of the 1D/2D code sensors are displayed at the MSC800 data interfaces. External sensors deliver information about the reading pulse, the object distance and the conveyor speed. This information is distributed to the systems by the MSC800.

Fig. 3-7: MSC800 in combination with 1D/2D code sensors and a conveyor system




Product description

Several 1D/2D code sensors can be combined to allow detection of several sides in one passage (multi-side reading). The MSC800 assumes coordination of the sensors.

3.4.1 Object trigger control

In order to initiate an object related reading process, the 1D/2D code sensors require an appropriate signal (trigger). The start signal is emitted via an external reading pulse sensor (photoelectric reflex switch) as standard. As soon as an object has passed the reading pulse sensor, an "internal reading gate" opens for the reading process. The signal is distributed to the 1D/2D code sensors via the MSC800.

Alternatively, a command activates the reading process via a data interface or the CAN-SENSOR network.

The trigger source can be configured using the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software:

Product description


3.4.2 Focus control

For dynamic focus control the ICR890 System requires continuous information on the distance to the object surface. This data is provided by a lateral MLG Light Grid for readings from above. The object dimensions are taken from the VMS4xx/5xx Volume Measurement System and processed via the MSC800 for readings from the side.

The SOPAS-ET Configuration Software can, among other things, be used to configure features, such as the default position and the source of the distance measurement:

PROJECT TREE, MSC800, PARAMETER, SYSTEM, MLG SETTINGS, register tab GENERAL

PROJECT TREE, MSC800, PARAMETER, NETWORK / INTERFACE / IOS, SERIAL, register tab SERIAL AUX-INTERFACE

3.4.3 Increment configuration

In order to control the tracking information, the 1D/2D code sensors require information on the conveyor speed. An external incremental encoder delivers pulses which are used to determine the current conveyor speed.

The conveyor speed results from the number of pulses and the resolution of the external incremental encoder.

The increment source and the resolution/speed can be configured using the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software:

PROJECT TREE, MSC800, PARAMETER, INCREMENT, register tabs ENCODER and INCREMENT

3.4.4 Code configuration

The recorded codes are decoded by the 1D/2D code sensors. The results are forwarded to the MSC800. Where the following code types can be filtered:

1D codes (bar codes)

• Codabar• Code 39• UPC/EAN family• 2/5 Interleaved• Code 93• Code 128 family

2-D codes (only the ICR890 System)

• DataMatrix ECC200 (in preparation)• PDF417 (in preparation)

The code types for 1D and 2D codes can be selected using the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software:

PROJECT TREE, MSC800, PARAMETER, 1D CODE CONFIGURATION, register tab SYMBOLOGIES

PROJECT TREE, MSC800, PARAMETER, 2D CODE CONFIGURATION, register tab SYMBOLOGIES

The selected code types can be configured individually. The SOPAS-ET Configuration Software has individual register tabs for each type.




Product description

3.4.5 Reading operation modi

Start/Stop operation

There is only one object in the reading area during start/stop operation, i. e. all the read codes should be unambiguously assigned to the object. The start and stop of the reading process control two reading pulse sensors at the beginning and at the end of the reading area as standard (Fig. 3-9, page 34). The distance between each sensor is determined by the size of the reading area. The reading process can be alternatively controlled with command strings via the data interface. The output of the reading results is carried out either at the end of the reading pulse (the rear edge of the object has left the end of the reading area) or during the reading pulse if certain parameterizable conditions have been fulfilled.

Tracking operation

During the reading process, a maximum of 10 objects can be simultaneously situated, one behind the other, in the tracking operation, i. e. it must be possible to unambiguously assign the read codes to the objects (Fig. 3-9). A reading pulse sensor controls initiation of the reading process at the start of the reading area as standard (see Chapter 3.4.1 Object trigger control, page 32), the end is determined by the object release point. This also defines the size of the resulting reading area.

A regular pulse is required in order to track objects in the reading area. This is generated by the external incremental encoder, which delivers a constant pulse at least every 10 mm (0.39 in) of movement in the direction of transport (see Chapter 3.4.3 Increment configuration, page 33). This allows generation of a clear display of the distance between the reading pulse sensor and the object release point. Any fluctuations during startup of the conveyor technology or reductions in speed caused by heavy objects are also detected. For clear separation of consecutive objects, a space of at least 50 mm (1.97 in) is required. Reading results for an object are displayed after the rear edge of the object has passed the object release point. Alternatively, the reading process can be initiated by a command string via the data interface.

The reading operation mode, object release point and data output point can be configured using the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software:

Product description


3.5 Indicators and control elements

3.5.1 User interface

The MSC800 is configured application specifically using the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software (see Chapter 6.3.1 Overview of the configuration procedure, page 77). The software for this runs on a PC which has to be connected to one of the data interfaces ("AUX" RS 232, "ETHERNET" or "USB") of the MSC800.

As an alternative to the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software, command strings are available upon which the user interface of the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software is based (see Chapter 10.2 Configuring the ICR890 System with command strings, page 95).

In case of an error, startup and diagnosis can only be carried out via the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software. The MSC800 works fully automatically in normal operation. Further operating elements are not available at the MSC800.

Parameter set on the SD memory card

The configured parameter values are saved as a parameter set in the internal flash PROM of the MSC800 and on the SD memory card (SD 1) of the logic controller (cloning). If the logic controller needs replacing, the memory card allows convenient and rapid transfer of the parameter set to a new device (also see Chapter 7.3 Cleaning further optical effective surfaces, page 82).

Note To prevent data loss, the SD memory card should only be removed or inserted in a new device when the MSC800 is switched off.

The card is accessible from the left-hand side of the logic controller of the MSC800.

3.5.2 LED functions

The accessible LEDs of the MSC800 are located at the power supply modules, on the fuse module for the 24 V DC supply voltage (CLV490, VMS4xx/5xx, logic controller; only MSC800-1100, MSC800-2100 and MSC800-2300) and on the logic controller.

Tab. 3-5, page 38 lists the meaning of the LEDs.

5.4 Performing electrical installation




Make sure the equipment has been deenergized before performing any installation work.


The applied line voltage (100 to 264 V AC/50 to 60 Hz) is protected by a 1-pole line safety switch (phase). If the connection of the phase and the neutral conductor to the terminal block -X120 has been interchanged, there is still a danger of death if you come into contact with parts even after switching off the input current circuit via the line safety switch -F12.

Carefully carry out connection of the line voltage at the terminal block -X100.

Check correct connection of the line voltage prior to switching on via the mains switch provided by the client.

Note To ensure secure fastening of the connected cables and adherence to the enclosure rating IP 54/IP 65, the lock nuts for strain relief at the cabinet of the MSC800 have to be tightened.

5.4.1 Wire-cross sections

Wire all connections provided by the client using shielded copper wires!

Pay attention to the required wire cross sections:

– Switching inputs/outputs: At least 0.25 mm2 (24 AWG)– Data interfaces: At least 0.22 mm2 (24 AWG)– Supply voltage: The supply line to the MSC800 has to be at least 2.5 m (8.2 ft) as

from a wire-cross section of 4 mm2 (11 AWG).

Lay all the cables in such a manner that persons cannot trip over them and that the cables are protected against damage.

5.4.6 24 V DC supply voltage for the ICR890 Systems

Supply voltage requirements

The typical power consumption of an ICR890 System is 425 W. The required power per system is supplied in the MSC800-2300 by three power supply modules, in the MSC800-3400 by two modules and in the MSC800-2600 by three pairs of power supply modules.

Tab. 5-25 displays the number of ICR890 Systems which can be operated per MSC800.

Note The wire-cross section for the power supply of the ICR890 System has to be at least 4 mm2 (11 AWG). To ensure protection against short circuit/overload of the supply line, the cable has to be protected according to the wire-cross sections used (as for the MSC800). The valid standards must be observed.

Connecting the supply voltage for the ICR890 Systems

1. Ensure that the line voltage (external supply voltage) to the MSC800 is switched off.2. Plug and fix the 8-pole Harting HanQ8 socket of the supply voltage line no. 2032398 at

the ICD890 Camera into the 8-pole Harting HanQ8 connector POWER IN for each system.

3. Connect the free cable end(s) to the terminal block for the ICR890 supply voltage of the MSC800-2300 (see Tab. 5-26), MSC800-3400 (see Tab. 5-27, page 64) or the MSC800-3600 (see Tab. 5-28, page 65).

Note The supply voltage remains switched off during the subsequent installation work!

5.4.7 24 V DC supply voltage for CLV490 and VMS4xx/5xx

Supply voltage requirements

The typical power consumption of a CLV490 is 18 W. The required power for max. 14 CLV490s and a VMS4xx/5xx is supplied by the power supply module -G1 in the MSC800-1100/-2100 and by the power supply module -G2 in the MSC800-2300.

The power is supplied via the respective wires of the CAN cable which are connected directly to the terminals for the supply voltage.

Connecting the supply voltage for the CLV490 and the VMS4xx/5xx

1. Ensure that the line voltage (external supply voltage) to the MSC800 is switched off.2. Connect the CAN cable to the CLV490 or the VMS4xx/5xx.3. Connect the free cable ends for the supply voltage at the 12-pole terminal block for the

supply voltage CLV490 and VMS4xx/5xx of the MSC800-1100 or the MSC800-2300 (see Tab. 5-3, page 47 or Tab. 5-8, page 50).

5.4.8 HOST/AUX data interfaces of the logic controller

General conditions of the HOST and AUX data interfaces

Both the HOST data interface (main data interface) as well as the AUX data interface (auxiliary data interface) of the MSC800 can be operated as RS 232 version or as RS 422/485 version or be rerouted to the Ethernet interface. Tab. 5-29 shows the recommended maximum cable lengths, depending on the interface version and the data transfer rate.

Recommendation Use shielded data cables (twisted pair).

To prevent interference, do not lay data cables parallel to power supply cables and motor lines over a longer distance, e. g. in cable ducts.

Wiring the HOST/AUX data interface of the logic controller

Damage to the interface modules!

Incorrect wiring of the HOST/AUX data interfaces can damage electronic components in the MSC800.

Wire the data interfaces correctly according to Fig. 5-9.

Check the wiring carefully before switching on the MSC800.

Connect the data interfaces to the host/PC paying attention to the EMC and using a shielded cable. Adhere to the maximum cable lengths (Tab. 5-29).

Distribution of the devices to the two data interfaces CAN 1 and CAN 2 as well as the sequence of the devices depends on the project-specific number and position of the devices.

Example of CAN 1 data interface wiring with a ICR890 System:

Connect the ICR890 System to the 5-pole M12 socket and the open end via the CAN 1-IN connection using the cable no. 6021166. (See Tab. 5-40, page 74 for pin/wire colour assignment.)

Connect the open cable end in the MSC800 to the CAN 1 connection.

Attach the terminal resistance no. 6021167 to the CAN1-OUT connection of the ICR890 System.

The signals for the reading pulse and increment are transmitted to the ICR890 System via the CAN bus. The HOST and AUX data interfaces of the ICR890 System as well as the signals of both switching outputs are accessible via the CAN bus at the MSC800. The MSC800 and the ICR890 Systems have to be configured accordingly as Slave or Master for this purpose (see Chapter 6.3, page 76).

Troubleshooting


8 TroubleshootingThis chapter describes how errors at the MSC800 Modular System Controller can be recognized and eliminated.

For further information, see the operating instructions "ICR890 High End CCD Camera System" and the operating instructions the futher system components.

8.1 Overview of errors and malfunctions which could occur

8.1.1 Installation error

• Unsuitable positioning of the cabinet of the MSC800– Cables too short– Cabinet cannot be opened– Air inlet or air outlet openings are covered

• Reading pulse sensor has been incorrectly positioned (e. g. internal reading gate opens too late or shuts too early)

• Incremental encoder (optional) positioned incorrectly

8.1.2 Electrical installation error

• Interfaces of the MSC800 wired incorrectly

8.1.3 Configuration error

• Functions have not been adjusted to the local conditions, e. g. parameters for the main data interface set incorrectly

• Selected trigger source for reading pulse incorrect

8.1.4 Malfunctions during operation

• Start/Stop operation: External reading pulse is missing, more than one object is in the reading area

• Tracking operation: Minimum distance of the objects in the direction of transport not achieved

• Device error (hardware/software)




Troubleshooting

8.2 Detailed malfunction analysis

8.2.1 System information

The MSC800 displays errors in various ways. The error output is hierarchised and always allows a detailed analysis:

• Communication errors can occur while transmitting telegrams to the MSC800. In this case, the MSC800 returns an error code.

• Error codes are written into a status protocol for errors which occur during a reading.

8.2.2 Status protocol

Note • The status protocol remains even after switching the device off and on again.• The system differentiates between four error types:

– Information– Warning– Error– Fatal error

The system only saves the last five entries for each of the error types.

Displaying the status protocol with the aid of 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 MSC800.

Connect the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software to the device.

Open the project tree MSC800, SERVICE, SYSTEM-STATUS, register tab SYSTEM INFORMATION.

8.3 SICK Support

If an error occurs repeatedly or if you cannot correct an error using the above measures, the MSC800 may be defective. The MSC800 components cannot be repaired by the user, meaning that it is not possible to re-establish functions after a failure. However, the MSC800 components can be rapidly replaced by the user. Please see Chapter 7.3 Cleaning further optical effective surfaces, page 82.

Please contact our local SICK office or subsidary if an error occurs which cannot be eliminated:

• The telephone numbers and email addresses are listed on the back page of this manual.For postal addresses also visit www.sick.com.

Do not send the device to the SICK service without first contacting us.

10 Appendix

10.1 Appendix overview

The appendix contains the following additional information:

• Configuring with command strings• Help table for calculating code length of a bar code• Ordering information• Supplementary documentation (overview)• Glossary• Image of EC Declaration of Conformity

10.2 Configuring the ICR890 System with command strings

As an alternative to the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software MSC800 can also be configured and operated with command strings via all the data interfaces.

Note Both the command strings and the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software are based on command language which directly accesses the command interpreter of the MSC800. This command language must be used with care, since the commands sent to the MSC800 are executed immediately. Parameter values altered via commands are at first only active in the current parameter set in the working memory (RAM) of the MSC800. To save in the permanent memory, the altered parameter set must be copied into the EEPROM using a special command, this ensures that the alterations are not lost when the power supply is switched off.

Command listing on request.

10.5 Glossary

Also see the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software online help for further terms.

1D code (bar code, strip 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 machine-readable, 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 dimension and is also mostly analyzed by line, these bar codes are referred to as linear codes. The various code types differ in their codeable character inventory, design (number of elements per character, number of characters, start/stop characters, check characters), in the 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 analyzed by the reading device.

2D codes

In two dimensional codes the information is arranged more densely in a matrix with the help of dark and light cells (quadrates). The vertical and horizontal arrangement of the cells in relation to the reference points in the centre and on the edges, determines the data content which is defined by the specification. In the case of error correction during reading, the code is tagged with a redundancy by way of a mathematical process (e. g. for DataMatrix ECC200 via error correction code words). The unidirectional reading of 2D codes is carried out by way of image processing.

Auxiliary interface

Logical auxiliary data interface of the MSC800 in double design (AUX 1/2). Each logical in-terface is physically switchable to serial RS 232, RS 422/485 and in parallel to Ethernet (standard: port 2111 respectively port 2113). The serial data interfaces are used for diag-nosis (output of reading diagnosis data or monitoring the data traffic on the host interfaces with a fixed data output format). They also provide special protocols or customer-specific data output formats as well as adjustable data formats and data transfer rates. The data output of the serial data interfaces can each be switched off. The two Ethernet auxiliary ports are used for sending reading diagnosis data with a fixed data output format. The aux-iliary 2 port also provides special protocols or customer-specific data output formats. The data output of auxiliary 2 port can be switched off but not the data output of auxiliary 1 port. Via this auxiliary data interfaces using the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software it is always pos-sible to access the MSC800 for operation and configuration.

CAN interface

Physical data interface. Controls construction of a rapid SICK-specific CAN SENSOR network with various functions (e. g. multiplexer, master/slave) or integration into existing CAN networks after the CANopen protocol. Via the CAN interface (network) using the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software in remote mode it is possible to access the MSC800 for operation and configuration.

Capture area

Zone which a 1D/2D code sensor/the MSC800 sets up around a moving code using the increment management and the reading angle comparison. Allows, among other functions, the separation of codes with identical content, where the code type is the same.




Appendix

Command strings, commands

User interface to the MSC800, as an alternative to the SOPAS-ET configuration software. The command string form a clearly structured command language for changing the parameter value sets in the MSC800 online. Directly accesses the command interpreter of the MSC800. Use of the host requires a corresponding programming task. The SOPAS-ET configuration software is based on the command strings.

Configuration file

Project file for the SOPAS-ET configuration software in which either only one complete para-meter value set for a device or, if several devices are grouped into one project, the complete 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 buffer or provided as a PDF.

Data output string

A structured data telegram for the reading results in two independent data output formats that the MSC800 itself prepares for output from its database. The output formats can be output via the host interfaces (HOST 1/2) to the physical data interfaces RS 232/RS 422/485, Ethernet or CAN. The design of the output formats is flexible (sequence of the code segments and elements, link with event conditions, filters, sorters etc.) and can be widely adapted to the application-specific requirements. However, the data output formats of the auxiliary interfaces (AUX 1/2) cannot be altered.

Decoder, decoding

From the code type-dependent analysis routine to reconstruction of the codes read in electronic form, in order to decipher the data content.

Download

Transfer process of the parameter values using the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software from the PC to the connected MSC800. In "Online" communication mode, the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software always transfers the just modified parameter values in the background automatically and temporarily to the memory (RAM) of the MSC800 with the "Immediate Download" option. With this option, the current parameter values in the MSC800 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 MSC800, 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 TO DEVICE) can be transferred manually to the MSC800. Using the COMMUNICATION menu, either modified parameter values only (DOWNLOAD CHANGED PARAMETERS TO DEVICE) or all of the MSC800's parameter values (DOWNLOAD ALL PARAMETERS TO DEVICE) can be transferred.The parameter values that were temporarily changed in the MSC800 are only saved permanently when the storage option "permanent“ (menu CLV62X) 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 MSC800 displayed a diagnosed error. The MSC800 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 INFORMATION register tab.


MSC800

Appendix


Ethernet interface (Host)

Physical data interface with transfer rate 10/100 MBit/s, TCP/IP and FTP protocols. The Ethernet interface can be used for the host interfaces (HOST 1/2) and the auxiliary interfaces (AUX 1/2) alternatively to and also in parallel with the physical interfaces RS 232, RS 422/485. Via the four Ethernet ports using the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software it is always possible to access the MSC800 for configuration.

Function interfaces

Digital switching inputs and outputs as well as relay outputs of the MSC800.

Good Read

The defined evaluation condition(s) were successfully met during the last reading pulse in the reading process.

Help input

Special function of the Aux interface. Allows the additional manual input of code data for completion of the reading results sent to the host.

Host interface

Logical main data interface of the MSC800 in double design (HOST 1/2) with two independent, configurable data output formats. Allows, among other functions, the output of the reading result in telegram form to the host/PLC. Physically switchable to RS 232/RS 422/485 and in parallel to Ethernet (standard: port 2112 respectively port 2114) as well as to CAN. Works as a gateway in conjunction with the SICK-specific CAN-SENSOR network. Provides various transfer protocols (except for CAN) or customer-specific data output formats. The data formats and the data transfer rates of the serial data interfaces are each adjustable, the data output can be switched off. An existing parallel data output via Ethernet remains active. However, the data output of the Ethernet Host ports can be switched off separately. With the host interface, access to the bar code scanner for configuration and diagnosis is also possible with the SOPAS-ET configuration software.

Master/Slave configuration

Special arrangement and technical circuit connection of 1D/2D code sensors to one reading station (e. g. multi-side reading) using the CAN interface. Via the MSC800 as master the combination acts on the host as just one device.

Multi-reading

Selectable number of readings which must each deliver identical internal results from one and the same bar code before a 1D/2D code sensor generates the reading result.

No read

The defined evaluation condition(s) were not met during the last reading pulse in the rea-ding 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 MSC800 outputs the "NoRead" string as the no read format, framed by STX and EXT.




Appendix

Object distance, object height

Gauge for focussing a 1D/2D code sensor. Determined, e. g., by means of an MLG Light Grid during reading from above or VMS4xx/5xx Volume Measurement System on the conveyor system during reading from side.

Parameter set

Data set which is used to initialize and activate the implemented functions of the MSC800. Transferred using the upload (all parameter values only) or download from the MSC800 to the SOPAS-ET Configuration Software or vice versa.

Reading angle (RA value)

For the decoding process, the active analysis area within the illumination line of the ICR890 respectively within the scanning line of a CLV bar code scanner can be restricted application-specifically by presetting the minimum and maximum RA values.

Reading diagnosis data

Code-, object- or device-related data which the MSC800 derives directly from the reading process. The data allows, among other things, an assessment of the reading quality and to draw conclusions on the reading process.

Reading pulse

Triggering of the internal reading gate via a MSC800-external pulse at a switching input is carried out object-related 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 "Auto cycle“, the MSC800 creates the reading pulse itself.

Reading result

Electronic display and output of the data contents of the scanned codes together with reading diagnosis data in a data output string at the defined output time

Result status output

Adjustable function of the four independent switch outputs "Result 1" to "Result 4" as well as the both relay outputs of the MSC800. Indicates either the status of the reading result (e.g. good read) or the ful-fillment of a definable, event-dependent evaluation condition for the read operation (such as Match1). The outputs can also indicate system statuses (e. g. fan on). The outputs can be switched off individually. The logic level of each output is selectable.

Saving to the MSC800

The application-specific parameter value set can be stored in the MSC800 either temporarily or permanently. In the case of temporary storage, the parameter value set is only contained in the temporary memory (RAM) and is lost as soon as the power supply is switched off. In the case of permanent storage, the parameter value set is also transferred to the MSC800’s permanent memory and saved as a current data set after switching off. The default setting is deposited in a fixed, Read Only Memory (ROM) irrespective of this.

Sending point

Output time of the reading result in relation to the start of the reading pulse and the fulfilled evaluation conditions.

SMART decoder

Specially developed decoder for reading bar codes with extremely small code heights and or bad or soiled print images.

SOPAS-ET

PC configuration software, to run on Windows98TM, METM, NT4.0TM, 2000TM, XPTM and VistaTM. Used for online communication with the MSC800 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 parameters are exchanged device-specific with the MSC800/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 MSC800 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.

Start/Stop operation

In this operation mode (separate reading pulses), only one object per reading pulse is located in the reading area. External sensors or command strings control the beginning and end of the reading pulse for the master/slave arrangement of 1D/2D code sensors (e. g. double-side reading) and MSC800. If only one 1D/2D code sensor (stand-alone device, single-side reading) is used together with the MSC800, also the free running mode of the 1D/2D code sensor can control the reading process. The 1D/2D code sensor(s) receive(s) its (their) pulse signals via the MSC800. The length of the reading area is determined in this case by the distance of both external sensors for the start (beginning of the reading area) and stop (end of the reading area) of the reading pulse. The minimum reading distance between two objects must always be greater than the length of the reading area. Networking the 1D/2D code sensor(s) to the MCS800 is carried out via the CAN interface.The MCS800 (master) outputs the reading results via the RS 232/RS 422/485 interfaces and/or via the Ethernet interfaces.

Tracking operation

In this operation mode (continuous reading pulses), several objects are simultaneously located in a row in the reading area, but not parallel. For unambiguous allocation of the read codes to the objects, a minimum gap must be maintained between two objects and band increment signals have to be available for the master/slave arrangement of 1D/2D code sensors (e. g. triple-side reading) and MSC800. The 1D/2D code sensor(s) receive(s) its (their) pulse signals and the band increment values via the MSC800. The length of the reading area is determined in this case by the distance of the external sensor for the beginning/end of the object at the beginning of the reading area and the object release point (data output) of the MSC800 in the direction of transport at the end of the reading area. Networking the 1D/2D code sensor(s) to the MCS800 is carried out via the CAN interface. The 1D/2D code sensors each manage recorded objects by means of an internal object tracking list.

Upload

Transfer process of all parameter values from the connected MSC800 memory (RAM) 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 after the scanning process for a confirmed request to synchronise the user interface and the




Appendix

MSC800. Where necessary, this can be triggered manually in the Kommunikation menu (UPLOAD ALL PARAMETERS FROM DEVICE). Parameter values must be represented in the register 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 MSC800.
