Safety information
Depending on type, the Camera System consists of the ICD880 or ICD890 Camera as
well as of an aligned combination of an ICI890 Illumination variant and an optional de-
flection mirror variant. The Camera is installed in a frame together with the ICI890 Illu-
mination as a unit parallel to the optional deflection mirror, either above the conveyor
system (reading from above) or at the side (side reading).
The necessary object distance information is contained in the Camera System either by
an MLG Light Grid (in the case of readings from above) or by a VMS4xx/5xx Volume
Measurement System for focus control during
Single or multi-side reading.
The Camera System transfers the reading data, with optionally selectable diagnosis da-
ta, via the CAN interface to the MSC800. The MSC800 outputs the data via its HOST
data interface (serial RS 232, RS 422/485, Ethernet or CAN) to a superordinate host
processor for further processing.
The processed image information of the Camera is located on two fast GBit Ethernet
channels. The image information can be transferred to the client display at extremely
high data transfer rates on a special PC with compatible GBit Ethernet interface cards.
The high image quality also allows use in OCR and video coding applications.
Configuration/Operation of the Camera System is carried out as standard via the AUX
auxiliary data interface (Ethernet port or serial RS 232) of the MSC800 using the SO-
PAS-ET Configuration Software, which runs on a standard client PC.
Important Any warranty claims against SICK AG shall be deemed invalid in the case of other Camera
System use or Camera System modifications, this includes modifications during installation
and electrical installation or changes to the SICK software. However, the camera or the illu-
mination can be rapidly replaced by the user.
Only operate the Camera System in ambient air temperature limit in indoor areas (see
Chapter 9 Technical data, Page 81).
2.3 General safety precautions and protection measures
Read the general safety precautions thoroughly and observe them during all ICR880/
890 Camera System activities. Also observe the warning notices above the operational
instructions of each chapter.
2.3.1 Radio interferences
RF interferences in case of use in residential areas!
The ICR880/890 Camera Systems are exclusively intended for use in industrial areas.
2.3.2 Installation work
Risk of injuries due to falling components!
Depending on type, the combined weight of the Camera and the ICI890 Illumination is max.
37 kg (81.6 lb.) without installation accessories.
Do not carry out installation work alone.
A second person should always secure components during installation.
