Annex
Via the communication menu, it is possible to transfer either only modified parameter
values (download amended parameter to the device) or all parameter values of the
MSC800 (download all parameters to the device).
Only when the “permanent” save option (“MSC800” menu) is used will the parameter
values that have previously only been temporarily changed in the MSC800 be saved
permanently. The transferable parameter values depend on the current user level in
SOPAS-ET.
Messages in coded form, with which the MSC800 displays a diagnosed error. The MSC800
differentiates between four error types: information, warning, error, severe error. The error
messages can be displayed in the SOPAS-ET configuration software in the SYSTEM
INFORMATION tab.
Physical data interface with transmission rate 10/100 MBit/s, TCP/IP, and FTP protocol.
The Ethernet interface can be used for the  host interfaces (Host 1/2) and the  Aux
interfaces (AUX 1/2), in each case parallel to the physical RS-232, RS-422/485 interfaces.
The MSC800 can be configured via all four Ethernet ports.
Adjustable function of each of the four digital switching outputs “OUT 1” to “OUT 4” and of
the two relay outputs of the MSC800. Signals either the status of the read result (e.g.,
Good Read) or the fulfillment of an event-dependent assessment condition which can be
defined for the read process (e.g., Match1). In addition, system statuses of the MSC800
can also be signaled (e.g., fan on). The outputs are independent of each other and can
also each be deactivated.
The logic level can also be selected.
Digital switching inputs and outputs as well as relay outputs of the MSC800.
The defined assessment condition(s) was (were) successfully met in the reading event
during the last read clock.
Data block in the read result of the  host interface of the MSC800.
Used in the  data output string as a header for the subsequent data contents of the code.
Consists of read diagnostics data and/or constants (control characters, letters, numbers).
Logical main data interface of the MSC800 in dual design (HOST 1/2) with two
independent data output formats, which can be configured. Among other things, this is
used for outputting the read result in the form of a telegram to the host/PLC.
Can be physically switched in each case on serial RS-232, RS-422/485 and Ethernet
(default: port 2112 / port 2114) or CAN. Works together with the SICK-specific CAN
SENSOR network as a gateway. Provides different transfer protocols (apart from for CAN)
or customer-specific data output formats. The data format and the transmission rate of
the serial data interfaces can each be set, the data output can be deactivated.
In this case, an existing parallel data output via Ethernet still remains active. However,
it can also be deactivated.
Access to the MSC800 is also possible for configuration and diagnosis via the host
interfaces with the aid of the SOPAS-ET configuration software.
