MSC800

Subject to change without notice
Special arrangement and switching connection of ID sensors to a read station (e.g., multi-
side reading) with the aid of the CAN interface. Using MSC800 as the master, the
connection to the host functions like a single device.
Optional number of readings which must provide identical internal reading results for one
and the same code before an ID sensor issues the reading result.
The defined assessment condition(s) was (were) not met in the reading result during the
last read clock.
Special configurable output format for no reads in the data output string as a replacement
for the output formats for reading where the assessment conditions are met.
In the default, the MSC800 issues the “NoRead” string, bordered by STX and EXT, as the
no read format.
Dimension for focusing the ID sensors. Is determined during reading from above, e.g., by
using an MLG light grid, or during reading from the side, e.g., using a VMS4xx/5xx volume
measurement system on the conveying line.
Data set which is used to initialize and activate the implemented functions in the MSC800.
This is transmitted from the MSC800 to the SOPAS-ET configuration software or vice versa
using upload (all parameter values) or download.
Clock present on the MSC800. Used for triggering the internal reading interval.
Carried out from outside on an object-specific basis via an external trigger source such as,
e.g., a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor on a switching input or a command string via a
data interface.
In the event of an internal “Auto clock” trigger source, the MSC800 generates the read
cycle itself. The read cycle is specified to the connected ID sensors by the MSC800 via the
CAN bus.
Data related to a code, object, or device, which the MSC800 deduces directly from the
read event. The data allows for assessment of the quality of the reading and for
conclusions to be made about the read event.
Electronic representation and output of the data contents of the read codes together with
read diagnosis data in a data output string at the defined output time.
The application-specific parameter set can be saved temporarily or permanently in the
MSC800.
In the case of temporary saving, the parameter set is only contained in the volatile working
memory (RAM) and is lost when the supply voltage is switched off.
In the case of permanent saving, the parameter set is also transferred to the non-volatile
memory of the MSC800 and is retained as the current data set after switching off.
The default is saved independently of this in a read-only memory (ROM).
